A wise woman once told me "there is no more ungrateful human being than a child between the ages of 13-17" and that's the TRUTH! I'm wishing I was closer tot he end of that dreadful period. Unfortunately, he's about to turn 14 so we're just getting started. Ughh!
I swear as soon as my son's testicles began their descent to manhood it's been worse than I could ever imagine menopause would be. Don't get me wrong, my son is no punk - he's a good boy - but I miss my sweet dosile little boy. PLEASE BRING HIM BACK LORD!!! He seems to have been replaced by the alien child - lazy, argumentative, a sibling torturer who thinks he knows everything and I, or any adult for that matter, know nothing. He has replaced the importance of family with video games and online "PS3 Call of Duty buddies". Lets not forget it's all about HIM -Oh, and name brand clothes of course. Seriously, at times I want to either cut and run or choke slam him just to show him who's boss. If I had experienced Teenager Hell before my other two children made their way into the world... lets just say they'd still be trapped in an ovary.
Talking to other parents of teengers I realize two things. One - I'm not the only one. Typical teenager syndrome. And, two, it could be worse. Like I said, he's no punk kid and I'm thankful he's not girl crazy - yet! (I'm not concerned he's queer - he def liks the risque pics his little gf's text him... that's a whole nother blog topic in itself. Wth, girls? Where are your parents??)
Just gotta continue to show him tough love when he needs it! Please pray I will survive.
Thank goodness wine is legal....
