She speaks for parents around the world

Sarah Smile, on being the mother of three teenagers:

I give up!

I work with teenagers. I’m supposed to know what I’m doing!

I’ve decided I have no idea and the rest is up the Almighty. I’ll take them back all finished when this stage is over!

Drowning in moodswings, the silent treatment, tears, and oh!, the “I-don’t-need-you-I-can-do-whatever-I-want” phase!

G-d help me! I’m serious!

• About Israelity

  Israel is often seen as a place of conflict and strife. In reality there is much more: there's business and research; art and culture; community and family. At ISRAELITY, Israelis blog their daily thoughts, experiences and insights. It's the real Israel, not the media's Israel. It's people living ordinary lives in an extraordinary place.
