About

Welcome to Weary Parent, Parenting Teens & Tweens! Weary Parent is authored by Christine Young. I’m a wife, mom and custodial stepmom in charge of five kids from 6-years-old to 16-years-old. I’m a Project Manager by day and a part-time college student by night. I’m also a full-time mommy hanging out at golf tournaments, football games, soccer scrimmages, gymnastic practice, dance rehearsal, PTO meetings, school field trips and much, much more. In my spare time I like to sleep.

I’ve done diapers, potty training and preschool. Now my kids are challenging me with a whole new set of issues and stages – from friendship dramas, budding romances, learning to drive, braces, middle school and high school, and so much more. Some days being a mom of teenagers makes me want to call my dad to apologize for my teen years. It can really be a roller coaster ride with these youngins. I want them to stay my little babies. They want to be grownups. And neither of us wins.

Join me as we ride these turbulent tween and teen years together.
