R-E-S-P-E-C-T

OK, I've been home for less than 6 hours and I want to either pull my hair out or pull out all of my daughter's hair! She's not using the brains that God gave her and she needs another lesson on respect. Where did my sweet little girl go...I don't know the one that's here.

(It's going to be a long, long summer!!)

Oh no Linda!! I can't even imagine and it breaks my heart, because I have always feared this exact thing...

I hope that the settling in process with happen and she readjusts herself too. Hang in there and know that we are thinking about you...

Have a wonderful respectful week.

This is why I am so afraid for my kids to grow up!! But I do remember going off to college & being with out rules & then coming home to rules & thinking my mom was so strict. That I was old enough to take care of myself.. Now as a mom I should of slapped myself back than.. And am surprised my mom never did.

Oh dear....

And I get it. I really do. Not that I have a grown child yet, but the daughter vs. mom thing.... my 7 year old is hard enough....

Oh Linda...been there sweetie! It will pass, but getting through it just isn't the easiest thing in the world! I learned alot about myself during those years. Yes, I said years! *sigh* Hope all calms down soon.

I'm sorry Linda! Life with teens is hard! Get on your knees and pray. Jesus hears and cares and will give you strength! Hang in there! She'll be sweet in an hour I bet!

Hugs, Sharon

Teen girls are so bi-polar as I am discovering myself! Don't worry she'll be nice again soon...you are a wonderful example to her.

Oh Linda, I am sorry. It will change quickly and she'll be the same sweet respectful girl raised. I'm just beginning and it's happening right now with my 16 year old. I have three more after him. I'm going to take Sharon's advice and get on my knees and pray even harder. Hugs, Kathi

hopefully it will get better...coming home after being away at college with all that independence is confusing I think. maybe it will smooth out before you are both bald :)

thank you for all the sweet comments you make on my blog!
