My oldest was a ball of emotions in his teenage years. It was a daily, even hourly, fight to maintain my sanity. My youngest just became a teenager and I do not look forward to what the coming years will bring. The hormones mixing with the emotions, it will drive me mad for sure.
I feel for the mother and father in this story, as they could not even enjoy an night away and now they will think twice about leaving their two teenagers alone in the future, thus adding to the stress in their lives because they cannot relax.
