It seems that our kids believe that the whole world revolved around them - it does in my life. It is either love or hate - want or toss away. I'm with you. It is so exhausting!!! I often wonder what kind of an adult is he going to be? Who in the really world is going to bend to accommodate their every whim? I had my first break away from my son in 14 years last week. It was fabulous!!!!!!!!!!! I'd forgotten how much of my energy is spent negotiating, repairing, agruing and repeating!!!
They really do seem to be selfish. My friend;'s daughter is the same way. She is 15. For heavens sake, just last year they were in the mall. Her hamburger wasn't made the way she wanted it. She expected her mom to go and exchange it. My friend said no. So she stomped her feet and yelled at her.
Anyhow I have changed my mine about today. After all he wasn't hurting anyone or anything. It is 9:49am here and he is still sleeping. I woke up at 9:30. We have to get up at 7:30 tomorrow for school. So I think we could use some fresh air and physical activity to tire us out today for bedtime tonight.
I hear exactly what your saying, I too often wonder how my older son 10 will be as an adult. The older you get the less self centered you become I believe. I think the best we can do is once their calm after an incident is too talk to them and let them know how they're acting so they can reflect on it. I know its exhausting but I'm sure they'll all turn out to be fine adults. I just hope his wife to be likes to clean and be at his every beck and call. LOL
sounds like so much fun i woulndt want it to end either
sounds like emotions to me
