Teens and toddlers

Which is more difficult to deal with, teens or toddlers???

I come home from work and call to make a haircut appointment for my teenager and I cross my fingers and hope they have something available for this week because school pictures are on Friday and I know the hair is like #1 priority in her world right now (this of course is subject to change based upon current mood of said teenager). I'm thrilled that her hair girl can get to her this week so I excitedly call her downstairs to tell her the good news and she seems bummed out about it. What is this about??? We talk, she almost cries, we talk some more. She doesn't know how she wants to get her hair cut. I suggest that all I was really intending was a trim before pictures. Argh! I thought I was doing something good but I guess not.

Then, I'm sitting in the living room and realize I haven't seen the mischievious 2 -year-old lately and go into the kitchen to find him inside the sink. Inside the sink. Yes, inside the sink. What is this about??? Argh!

Now I sit here in silence. DH has taken the three middle kids to the store with him, baby is sleeping, and teenager is upstairs (sulking? crying? watching a movie? homework?<--- yeah right).

BTW, I'm not a pirate despite the overuse of Argh. (Fyi: There IS someone on 43 things that wants to be a pirate though.)
