AM I QUALIFIED? PLEASE. Are any of us?
I have spent all of my adult life as an at-home mom to two amazing boys. They have been my whole world. My husband and I wore our knees out praying for guidance on how to teach them to be responsible, well-rounded, caring adults. We want the world to be a better place because they were in it. (Is that too much to ask?) Now they are on the cusp of being independent humans - "BETWEENERS" - and this transition is freaking hard! Ummm...Nobody told us that. We heard; "Oh, once you get through high school, it will get easier." LIARS! The whole lot of 'em. ;) Now I have to figure out who I am, who they are, and how we can coexist in harmony. Come hang out with me and maybe, just maybe, we can figure it out together... |

Figuring THEM OutI am sick and tired of hearing about these 'good-for-nothing Millennials'.
I happen to know hoards of a-freaking-mazing young adults! HOARDS! From all walks of life, from varying degrees of faith - there are amazing young people out there. Have we forgotten how hard it was for us to figure out adulting? It wasn't an easy ride, and they've got a rougher go. Give them credit. Give them love and Give them confidence. THEY ARE OUR FUTURE!!! |
Figuring THIS OutI recognize the irony here.
I truly do. I write a blog, about parenting, in hopes that my experiences will give hope, courage, and strength to others walking in similar shoes. HOWEVER - I will forever and always tell you that nobody, and I mean nobody - not your mom, not your friends, not your kids' friends mom - nobody knows how to parent your kids better than you. YOU were given this stewardship. YOU can receive guidance from above. Work with your spouse, pray unceasingly, and the answers will come. I promise. |
Figuring US OutWhere is the WE in all of this parenting mumbo-jumbo?
Making marriage a priority is #1 on our list, but this parenting thing is kicking our butts. We are on the same page - generally speaking - but how and when to get there is throwing a wrench into our Happily Ever After. Figuring out US in all of this mess is vital. Join us through our ups and downs, ins and outs and hopefully, if we try hard enough, we will all come out alive on the flip side. |
