Parents of Pre Teens, SEND HELP!

Let me start by WARNING those who do not have a pre teen yet, stock up on wine. Hide it in your bedroom, put it in the fridge, keep some in the laundry room. While your at it buy a load of those insulated bottles, you know the ones that hold the whole bottle of wine. Don't let yourself be unprepared for the hormone insanity that is about to be unleashed upon you.

My son was once the sweetest little boy, constantly trying to impress and sweet talk his unsuspecting mother. Kind, helpful, thoughtful are all words that I would use to describe him. I would still use these words, only I would add... sarcastic, mouthy, lazy, food inhaling, prankster. WHERE DID MY KID GO!?!?!?! What the fuck did the universe do with him? They have come down from wherever and snatched my sweet boy up and left me with this preteen that thinks he can act like he is 25... I'm not ready. My daughter who was once the most difficult child has now become the easy one. Now, now.. I know your all saying just wait, but that's my point!!! I need help with this transition, I find myself asking what the shit? at least 10 times a day. For example when my house was consumed with fruit flies and my sweet sweet boy looked me in the face and told me he didn't know why ( 3 bags of fruit in his closet from lunches later) WHAT THE SHIT?? , when he decided it would be funny to tape all the light switches in the house into the off position... WHAT THE SHIT?? When he hid his fathers shoes out behind the bonfire pit and sat quietly while Dad hunted those mofo's down... WHAT THE SHIT????

One last thing I wasn't prepared for is letting him go. Letting him hang out with friends, letting him not need me anymore for everything. Its hard y'all.. nothing prepares you properly. For now I will just have to sit back and giggle at all the silly shit he pulls because quite frankly he is fucking hilarious... and we all know who he got that from =)
