I think I might be able to get into the swing of writing these things...if I could remember to get on my computer! Uggh. Being a mom is hard work. It is crazy trying to juggle everything. I went into this thing thinking, "Oh! I'm definitely not going to do this. I will for sure do this..." How naïve I was! The fact of the matter is, no matter how many books you read, or vets you talk to, nothing can prepare you for having your own children. They aren't going to be cookie cutter. If you have more than one, everything changes for each consecutive one. The book you wrote in raising the first one needs to be thrown out because none of those rules will apply to the next one.
My current predicament...Dealing with my hormonal 10 (and a half) year old... Oh M GEEE it is sooo hard. She is moodier than ever, and as mean as a hornet right now. She doesn't seem to like any of us. It's so heartbreaking. My memory must be short because I don't remember acting this way when I was her age. I can't even begin to figure out how to work through it....
If I could get through to her right now, I suppose I would say that first I love her. I want her to know that I am here to listen to whatever is bothering her and while I might not be able to fix it I can walk beside her through it all. We really aren't enemies, even though right now it may seem like it. Love you sweet girl and I am so sorry that you are struggling.
