#raising teenagers

[uptospeed]

I’ve gone from going to bed saying “What the…” to “Namaste All Day” quotes.

Yes, my last name is Speed, yes my kids run (Fast, very fast. For pleasure), and yes, sometimes it takes a spreadsheet to keep everything going.

I have lots of hustle. From keeping up with my adult and teen kids, keeping up in life with a small business, keeping up with society, health, friends, advice and all the creative random ideas that goes through my mind, all while practicing mindfulness and keeping my sense of humor… my hustle is a lot to keep up with. But don’t worry, keeping things Up To Speed is never not insightful or ridiculous. Maybe both at the same time?

Watch, listen, read about how things are on pointe and up to me.

I Hope

The older my children become, the more clearly I see my hopes for their lives.  I hope they don’t become trapped in the cycle of chasing popularity.  I hope they stay true to who they are.  I hope they don’t fall into the lure of peer pressure.  I hope they are people of strong character and virtue.  I hope they are kind. Always kind. To everyone they encounter.  I hope they can clearly see…

buddy dawn cannot raise himself from the grave.

buddy dawn is not a chosen one.

buddy dawn is a child.

buddy dawn was manipulated by organized religion through no fault of his own, most likely since he was born.

buddy dawn had his throat slit by people he probably considered good friends.

buddy dawn is kristen applebees in a different—worse—life.

buddy dawn is dead, and there’s a good fucking chance helio won’t answer his questions.

Talia introduced Damian to Bruce as "their second child", and now Bruce is mentally panicking because there's another one, somewhere, when this unspoken first child is Jason.

I feel like I've complained about Tim's email situation in Gotham Knights before (edit: I have), but the truth of it is just so funny.

He's signed up for so many podcasts, video game streamers, and random news alerts; it's just a constant barrage of data going straight into his constantly whirring brain. Hell, he even floats the idea of the Batfamily having their own podcast as a way to correct misinformation about them (which Jason shoots down instantly), and it's made me realize something.

Timothy Drake would be a YouTuber.

In this universe specifically, Timothy Jackson Drake, the heir to Drake Industries and the foster son of the late Bruce Wayne would be a YouTuber.

Think about it. It'd be the perfect cover. Who would ever suspect that some 16-year-old nepo baby with a YouTube channel could ever be Red Robin? You'd have to be mad. I mean, look at him.

Red Robin just dropped out of literal thin air and garotted someone four times his size, and you expect anyone to believe that's the same kid who does 24-hour Minecraft charity streams and occasionally drops 6-hour video essays (his last one was on Lex Luthor's illegal bit mining operation on the moon)?

That kid?

You think that kid is Red Robin?

Ch'yah, okay, sure. And the Joker is funny 🤡.

When Danny enters the Fenton portal for the very first time, he still trips and shocks himself but at the same time damages the inside of the portal enough that it can’t sustain itself past the point of changing Danny’s molecules.

The electricity and damage done to both Danny and the portal isn’t something Danny, Sam, and Tucker can cover up and his parents find out immediately. They’re more concerned about their son then the portal (they have the blueprints for the portal and can rebuild it later but can’t replace their son if something happened to him) and go through a lot of things emotions regarding the existence of ghost human hybrids.

Danny’s new biology could easily be passed as meta human traits. Unfortunately President Lex Luther had just recently passed laws against meta humans. Meaning they can’t risk people find out about Danny’s new powers, at all. The Fentons decide that Danny should live with one of Maddie or Jacks relatives off grid until he can control his new abilities better.

luckily Jacks sister, Martha, and her husband have experience with a super powered child and after their son moved to the city could probably use a hand on their farm. All Jack needed to do was call.

Clark, visiting Wayne Manor for the first time: uhhh, who's in charge here?

Bruce, sighing deeply: usually whoever yells the loudest.

Ineffective Meal Planning On A Road Trip

Memories! Adventures! Life lessons! When we took a family vacation to Pennsylvania, I was hoping for all of these and I got them. And you get a story time! So before we had one of the best visit ever with family, we had to get there. And on the way, we googled Long John Silver‘s. This is because as everyone in the family knows, I absolutely love Long John Silver’s. So we make a point of…
