Life w/ Teens -
I have been the brunt of most problems this last week. Or so I have been told.
I always consider if I am the root of any situation, because when you are the common denominator in most situations – there is validity to it. Ya know? But honestly I think its having teens – and *gasp* telling them NO and meaning it (its just too much for them to handle). UGH, the joys of being a Mom.
I can’t hardly wait for the man to get home…even if its only for the night. I need a break from being the ‘heavy’ in this house.~G

((((((HUGS)))))) Oh yeah, I KNOW how you feel!!!! Definately sending you some Mom Love Vibes as I type this!!! Hope you catch a break soon. Go out and do something just for you! Afterall, one of the nice things about teens is that they can stay home and fend for themselves! LOL If you lived down here, I’d take you out to lunch!!! Love ya! Tracy
Why is it when we tell them no, it’s like we have committed a mortal sin? But when they say no to us, it’s OK? I don’t get it. Hey, we can be in the same boat together!!! (HUGS) Suz
I always just wish I’d get a bit more credit for the “yes” answers I give…ya know, like an account or something?
Blame MTV. That’s what my parents did. Kidding, kidding.
((((Hugs)))) just for encouragement..go read my dd’s blog, and see how the Lord has worked in her life…I think the entry was about 3 days ago and I really have seen how He is still changing her thinking. Believe me, you wouldn’t believe how rebellious she was, a real prodigal. Hang in there, you ARE doing what you know He wants you to do.
I’m always the heavy in my household. Sometimes I run away at night to my neighbor’s house, just to take a break. Of course, then the kids don’t go to bed on time, etc, etc.
I am so not looking forward to the teen years…
Just wait like 20 yrs Mrs. G and you will have your own back…haha, when they have teens of their very own… I will pray for you for strength – kinda makes you feel like a big ‘ol meanie -when they KNOW you’re right – and deep down they DESIRE you to say no…
*hugs* … it DOES pass… and later they DO come back and say “Hey, you were RIGHT MOM…”
Dh travels alot too-sometimes it makes it easier, but definitely have had those days when back up would have been very much appreciated! Just keep remembering, they really do need limits set on them, even if they say they don’t and it’s all our fault. I got to this message a bit late, hope things are on a more even keel now.
