Being a mom of a teenager

     I've never been a mom of a 16 year old boy before, It's all new to me. I kinda stole that & adapted it from something my sister said to me.  I remind myself of it all the time.  When things are easy, and especially when things are hard.
     SAW is a good kid.  He's gone through a lot and has come out on top.  He might not see it that way yet, but he will someday!  He is doing great in school this year!  2 C's, 3 B's and 2 A's!  He is taking responsibility for his mistakes and his successes!  He has adjusted so well with this last move.  He's got good friends and a girlfriend.
     I don't know if I will ever think that any girl is going to be good enough for him.  Like any mother, I guess. I know that someday he will find someone perfect for him and I will just have to suck it up and let him work his way through it.  He does treat all women with respect, and has the potential to spoil someone he loves.  I hope that I have taught him enough to not get taken advantage of though.
    Being the mom of a teenager is hard.  Being the mom of a teenage boy is hard!  I never want to see him cry - for any reason.  I hate to see him frustrated - for any reason.  I wish he could have everything handed to him on a silver platter, but I also want to make sure that he knows that he has to work for what he wants.

Oh, I could go on and on....
I am scared to be the mom of 2 teenagers!

How do you make a teenager happy??

I have a moody teenage boy in my house. Some days are great & we have lot of fun. Some days are sad & I want to cry for him. Most days are just ugh! There seems to be no way to make him happy.
When I got married he was not happy about it. he was determined to hate his new step father, even though prior to us getting married he thought he was great! When we moved he was determined to hate Florida too. Now, he still isn't too happy with his step-father (5 years later), but he doesn't want to leave Florida. When I told him I was pregnant he was FURIOUS, now he loves his baby sister. Everything about this boy is contradictory. He wants to keep his dog, but doesn't want her in his room or want to clean up after her. He wants an allowance, but doesn't want to do his chores 100% in order to get it. If I give him and hour to play on the PS3 he wants 4 more. If I say he can go out before dinner, he wants to go during dinner.
I know it's pretty typical teenage stuff, and for the most part I am not worried. Every once in a while, though, I'd like to see him happy. Genuinely. Happy.
I just don't know how to do it.
