Parent Of Teen T-Shirts

The surrendered mom

'You know they've reached puberty when they're more interested in Dr. Ruth than Babe Ruth.'

'We've created a teenager!'

"My name is Van Gelsing, Madame. I'm an expert in cleaning teenagers' rooms. If you need me, just give me a call, okay?"

'One advantage of living through the plagues and wars of the 14th century was that you didn't have to study Chaucer.'

'Any stunt driving experience other than teaching three teen-agers to drive?'

'Oh my Gawd! He's a weed!'

'It's all right with me if you go out, but you'll have to file a flight plan with your father.'

'The fifth rule of parenting. . . cross that bridge when you come to it.'

"Uh, officer, actually I wasn't going to report my stolen credit card...."

"The new computer system has arrived, and Benny here is going to help us jump the technical hurdles."

'Did you feel that??'

"Maybe we should send her to finishing school!"

"Megan is at that age where she's embarrassed to be seen shopping with her mother."

"My daughter is really mad at me because I violated her privacy with an ill-considered question and didn't take into account that she's not a little kid any more..."

Mom: 'Do I have to repeat myself again, again & again? girl: 'yes, yes, & yes!'

"Dad, let me explain it in a way that you can understand: Followers and Likes on my social media are like stocks on my emotional Wall Street."

"It's about time we had a little talk about your attitude, young man!"

'In order to cut down disruption in my class I've asked my students not to wear any gang, club, team, or group colours, insignias, patches, etc.'

"Can I can go to a party?"

Why do I have to talk to Teddy? Because I talked to Twig about the facts of life. I was quite effective, too! How do you know? It's obvious. She's 15 and not pregnant! The fact she doesn't have a boyfriend might be even more effective.

'Are you going to be long in there? ...And have you seen my electric guitar?'

"I'm running a little late with this one."

"For the life of me, I can't get them to do anything else."

"Get off that couch, young man. You're not going to find a job watching TV."
