Day 12 of RFYLH

Question # 12

Tell about a frustrating experience that you have had?

Ok so everyone knows that having children can be very frustrating at times, but when your beautiful, precious children become teenagers it becomes a whole new level of frustrating. As most of you know I have recently taken on the responsibility of raising my little sister Cheyenne who is 14 years old. Now I have not been in her life for most of her life. That not being all my fault. But I still found it necessary to take her into my home and raise her. Yes it has been a bumpy ride for all involved but we are getting the hang of things and getting into a rhythm that works for our family of five now. This all being said I now have TWO teenagers and an 11 year old who should be a teenager for all the drama she has. Something happens to these sweet little children as they get older. I like to call it going alien but I know it is just a hormone thing. Either way they seem to change overnight and become very independent and love to push the boundaries of my patients all the time. I wonder sometimes if this isn't just payback for what I did to my parents as a teenager or if this is just the circle of life. I guess we will never truly understand until we are no longer on this earth. My only hope is that I make it through all this with my hair and sanity in tack and pray that what they do to me they will get back at them when they have children of their own. I so look forward to the day when I get a call from them saying something to the effect of " Mom I am so sorry I was such a pain when I was growing up but now I am paying for it with _______(name of child)." Lol oh well I know that is a ways off so no need to dream about it now. It is true that I love them all with all my heart and soul and would do anything for them short of going to jail or getting into real trouble. So to answer the question my recent frustrating experience is a daily struggle with my teenage children. Its a long sentence and well worth it in the end. I hope. LOL

Blog at you later.
