You're like, "Come back, come back, come back." And sometimes they show up, and then the next minute they hate you, and you're like, "I thought we were on the same page."

And you know, they're also, they're also getting, um, support, friendship, and influence outside of you.

So you know, you could hear them on the phone or y- they tell you about these texts, and they're sharing with their friends, and they're looking to them for advice, and that's kind of scary.

But in all the parenting experts that we have, uh, spoken to, they say the biggest influence on your teenagers is actually you, even if it feels like they don't want to hear one word out of your mouth.

So it's really important to remember that.

Mm-hmm

... and not, don't know what to do.

But if you talk to other moms, it will immediately just make you, make you feel better and know that you're not alone, and that's how we started our community and our friendship and even into having teens.
