Entering Unknown Territory ....
This week has been a struggle and not in the way you’re probably thinking. I can handle the green boogers, the constant barking sounds, raging temperatures (barely I might add) and the lack of sleep however the one thing I am really struggling with is my adolescent child.
I have to admit I am a little naïve with how to handle the temperamental tendencies of a tweeny young man but holy shit the mood swings are of epic proportions and only predicted to get worse. I have found myself on numerous occasions having heated debates about the most trivial shit, pleasassseeeeee don't get me started on how I have had to fine tune my bloody negotiating skills. This little punk is 12 in a couple of months....... WTAF!
Last night I actually had that moment that "us" parents really don't want to admit to and that was when I was looking at Ryley arguing his point ever so passionately with that slight tinge of arrogance, sense of righteousness and the sound and solid belief he was right and there was nothing my hubby and I could say that would trumps his point, I thought "SHIT... This kid is just like me when I was his age" .... Arghhhhhhh!!!
If the dramatic hell I put my folks through is anything to go by I better start bracing myself.
I became a pro and mastered the art of pissing off the parentals. I am entering unknown territory and fear for my life, I am now the parent!
