Parent’s, mothers for sure
I applaud you as you endure
Surviving the teenage years
As eyes often fill with tears
Everything in life so dramatic
Nothing easy, always problematic
Drama, drama, drama I say
Stepping back out of the fray
There is a slight chance I’m sure
You’ll survive and not incur
The evil eye too often prevalent
Although never really malevolent
As I consider my life as a child
I often wonder was I that wild
Since the world revolves around “us”
There shall always be a great fuss
I wasn’t an easy teenager and neither were my children… I guess that’s life! Teenagers are exhausting I know I was?
It seems that each generation adds fuel to the fire as it were? My kids weren’t problem kids, but wow the drama from the grand kids keeps surprising and shocking me, roflmao probably because I never witnessed it
I don’t think I or my kids were exactly problematic, more like exhausting! Fortunately it all worked out in the end, once in my/their 20s?
lol, the two oldest are turning 16 and 17 and they aren’t difficult over all, one is “dramatic” the other not so much. They say the body changes every 7 years and at 21 who you are isn’t who you were. I can attest to that. I married at 21 and wouldn’t have chosen that person at 21, but did at 20. Our whole body changes emotions outlook cells, amazing really.
I know I was the problem child. Everything was life or death, Now my grand-mimi-me is the same way. I understand her so well. Poor baby.
lol. I was hard on my mother in that I had to be perfect! especially my hair. I’m sure she jumped through hoops trying on that score, if nothing else.
Our poor mothers. Glad those days are done.
Kids today are harder on their mothers I think.
The challenges are harder I think. More outside influences: social media, video games are the top two. We had it so good.
We so did, April! Today, social media is a nightmare!
