I was never this bad, was I? In my early teens? Naw, I couldn't have been. My poor father!!
I left my sweet, wonderful 12-year old at her big sister's house on Sunday for a visit. I picked her up yesterday. I SWEAR my eldest pulled the old switcheroo on me. There is NO WAY the disrespectful, nasty, mean, selfish, angry, sobbing kid I brought home yesterday was my dear, sweet,
sunshine-y little baby. No way. I want my child back!!!!
This is what I get to enjoy for a week out of every month until she's old enough to move out? Oy!!! I mean, I know I've been praying for patience lately. But this is going a little too far, don't you think, God?

ReplyDeletePatience is a virtue. The opposite--for me--is frustration and inner turmoil. Guess I do have a choice, after all. But I do not always choose what I really want, need...the correct one.
Peace, to all of us!
LOL! I'm so glad I had only boys! One of me was enough.
ReplyDeleteMy oldest daughter was SUCH a hard teen (that's putting it mildly)...but lo and behold she turned out better than I ever imagined as an adult. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteI am NOT looking forward to those days. The 13 y/o already has enough of an attitude as it is. YIKES!!!
ReplyDeleteI was that way as a teen. Vitamin B is a miracle vitamin, if she's not taking it already.
