AREN'T YOU going to answer that?" my friend asked as my phone rang.Puzzled, I stared at her. Why would I answer the phone? It couldn't possibly be for me because TEEN-AGERS LIVE AT MY HOUSE."Yes, I'm aware your sons are both teen-agers, but what does that have to do with the phone?" she asked.Spoken like the mother of elementary-age children, I thought."This is your home, too. Monopolizing the phone does not show respect for others," she chided.As she droned on I shuddered. My own words had returned to haunt me: Parents of teens simply need to exert control.
