ABOUT MY KIDS!!

I HAVE BEEN READING; THE COURAGE TO BE A SINGLE MOTHER BY SHEILA ELLISON.

A FRIEND OF MINE HAVE TOLD BE ABOUT THIS BOOK WHEN I HAD MENTION ABOUT MY SITUATION.  IT HAS BEEN SUCH AN EYE OPENER AND A BLESSING TO READ. AND IT HAS PERPARED ME FOR COMING THINGS AND MORE TO COME.

TODAY I READ ABOUT KIDS;

"WHEN ONE OF MY KIDS BEGAN AN ARGUMENT WITH ME, (HER BOYFRIEND)HE WOULD COME UP BEHIND ME, HOLD ME AGAINST HIM, AND WHISPER, "LET IT GO." NOT THAT HE ENCOURAGED KIDS TO BE DISRESPECTFUL. HE JUST DIDN'T FIND IT NECESSARY TO ENGAGE IN NEGATIVE ENERGY WHILE IT WAS HAPPENING.  LATER, WHEN THE SITUATION HAD COOLED DOWN, WAS THE TIME TO MAKE YOUR POINT."

I HAVE TO REMEMBER THIS SO MUCH.  MY OLDEST AND I HAVE SO MANY DISAGREEMENTS. AND I HANDLE THEM WRONG. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO DO WITH THEM.  AND MY MIDDLE CHILD IS STARTING TO GET AN ATTITUDE TO ME AND MY RULE.  AND I NEED TO HANDLE THEM NOW.

TEENAGERS = I KEEP TRYING TO REMEMBER THAT I WAS ONCE THERE.  AND HOW MY TEENAGE LIFE WAS.  AND HOW WE VIEW IT. WHAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT OUR PARENTS.  BUT HOW I AM NOW A PARENT.

TIME WILL ONLY TELL AND LIFE GOES ON!!
