Your LO as a Teenager?

GrayGhost13 · September 2012

Just for fun... do you ever imagine what your LO(s) will be like when they're teenagers?

Sonadora · September 2012

I sincerely hope she's less demanding and mellows out. Almost two years of very high strung child is wearing on me. H and I are pretty laid back, so this sort of OCD, demanding, high needs, unable to be content with anything kid is throwing us for a major loop.

I'm guessing DS will probably be all tall and skinny and awkward (but in that endearing kind of way) as a teen. (I've seen pics of my hubby in H.S. and he looked just that way!)

I'm pretty sure he'll like the outdoors since he always wants to be outside. I could see him doing something like joining the cross-country team, although if he stays as fearless as he is now, I could also see him doing something crazy like rock-climbing or something.

I'm sure he'll love animals, since he already does. I also think it's safe to say, he'll probably like reading and technology, since he's pretty obsessed with books and any kind of computer or electronics.

Hahaha! Yes. DH and I joke that DD already thinks she's a teenager and have a ton of pictures of her giving us those "Whatever" or "OMG mom you're so lame!" looks. She also already hates the clothes I pick out for her and I never coordinate the right shoes to her outfit. I imagine that she's going to be a little fashionista who has her own unique style that I'm not going to like.

I'm imagining a spunky young lady with lots of boyfriends, oy! (she just LOVES boys!) She will probably be the star softball player since she can already hit a ball off a T fairly well and the local babysitter (loves babies!) or petsitter (loves animals). I hope she's not too girly and will help daddy with the tractors and farming. But we might have to put a security system on our house to keep her in...she's such a free spirit and i'm sure she'll try to sneak out

So far, we think J is going to be a sports nut. He'll be on the baseball, basketball, and football teams. He'll have a girl on each arm (flirt from birth). He's going to be dangerous as a teenager; handsome, smart, funny, outgoing, and athletic. His dimples and his big blue eyes with those long eyelashes.... OH I'm in for trouble!! Lock up your daughters.... here comes Jeffrey. LOL

PGASTL · September 2012

I am pretty sure LO is a teenager trapped in a toddler body... Actually I do think she will mellow out and I really hope she's a goodytwo shoes rulefollower like mommy and daddy! Oh and she better like conservative clothes because there will be no slutty outfits on my watch! I mean, I don't dress like a Duggar but I have limits!

Please no! I am going to have a fun time - 5 kids as teenagers. Please shoot me now. I think my 1st and 3rd will not be too difficult. #2 and #4 will be a little worse - backtalking, demanding, sneaking behind my back, etc. Not too sure about Isaac yet. He can be a stinker so he may be difficult.

Please don't ever bring up teenagers again (just kidding) - just thinking about it makes me nervous. I am really trying to enjoy my life with 5 kids. I guess I'll just keep trying to do that even if for a couple of years it kills me to do so!

JoJoMama730 · September 2012

I do. She's already shaping up to be a fearless tomboy, and I imagine she's going to be hell on wheels and fiercely independent as a teenager - into fast cars, and boys, and wanting to do things her way on her time table. Oh crap, this sounds familiar. . . . . . .

Strunella · September 2012

Yes. Whenever I see a tall, blue-eyed teenage boy I wonder if DS will look like that when he's that age. And if his pants are hanging off his a$$, I think, "DS had better NOT look like that when he's that age!" LOL!

But really, I'm already seeing Mr. Social (just like his mama). I think he's going to have a lot of friends. He loves books, so I hope he is an avid reader like DH and me. I think he will be athletic if he follows in the footsteps of other males in our family...he's already off the charts in height...so maybe a baskeball player? It will be fun to see how he turns out!

xxbabycakesxx · September 2012

Ithink Griff will be really into cars. He shows so much interest in them right now and FIL is into cars so I'm sure he'll push that on Griff too lol.

And I know he'll be tall and lean, just like DH. And handsome!

missmuffin87 · September 2012

Free spirited, maybe a little clueless, great sense of humor, and really friendly. I don't think she will be the social butterfly, popular girl type, but she has a genuinely friendly personality. I can see her doing her own thing and having friends from all different social groups.

Did somebody say G was going to be a teenager? Not on my watch! Stick out tongue

jillybean800 · September 2012

I always say that I hope he is a little bit nerdy and into musical theater. My friend thinks this is a horrible thing to wish, but she hopes her kids will be into sports, so what's the difference? I hope he's a little clumsy so I don't have to sit through endless baseball and football games. Give me a musical that I have to see once and be done with.

TMNTgirl · September 2012

Sometimes my mom says things like "can you imagine when he's a teenager and these cute little feet are all sweaty and stinky?"

Overall, I just imagine having two boys so close together means that my grocery bill is going to skyrocket during the teenage years.

EMOmamma · September 2012

Ugh, I just hope he's not still biting people.

But really - he's pretty outgoing and fearless so I wouldn't be surprised to see him as a jock. He's smart, like street smart, which I'm betting he will use for trouble more than grades. I should probably start giving gifts to the principals now...

theuntaggablek · September 2012

A charmer, because he's always flirting with the little girls (and mamas) on the playground. I think he'll still enjoy the outdoors, which is good, and be stubborn when he can't get his way. Hopefully we'll be able to channel his stubbornness into persistent discipline in sports or music or something constructive.

And perhaps he'll really like monster truck rallies, since he's so truck-crazed?

pitterpatter129 · September 2012

I really don't like to think about one day having to raise a teenager! I really hope he's nerdy and that we can get him interested in something like the school band or gymnastics. I was a bit nerdy and my parents did a good job keeping us out of trouble, but I was a really, really laid back kid. My DH was a mess. Please, please, please be more like Mama for my sake! I think he will be a lot like my dad though because he already looks like him and seems to have his spirited personality. If that's the case, we are doomed.

Hah ha ha ha ha!

B will be a bit of a prankster - his first three sentence was "close door daddy" followed by laughter, after he closed DH in the pantry. He loves being outside so I hope he likes camping and hiking. There's no way he'll be part of the cool kids, not with DH and me as parents. But he's pretty laid-back so I think he'll be one of those kids who can float from crowd to crowd.
