TerraTiger+FollowWhen Do Teens Become Easier to Live With? My Surprising ExperienceHave you ever wondered at what age teens start to become more tolerable? I used to ask myself this all the time, especially during those stormy middle school years with my oldest. It felt like every conversation turned into a debate, and patience was running thin on both sides. But something shifted around age 16—suddenly, we could laugh together again, and the eye rolls became less frequent. It wasn’t overnight, but I noticed more empathy and understanding from my teen, and our home felt lighter. Every family’s journey is different, but for us, those later teen years brought a welcome sense of calm. What age did you notice a change in your teen?
