i can't believe that it was really hard to deal with the teenage child...there were those horrific stories told and i somewhat could not relate even if i've had 2 teenagers in the past....maybe because i was a working Mom then, or i was just so unaware of how they struggled with their hormonal changes and all that stuff.
it's not like she's on drugs or that kind of horrifying habit...it's just irritating to hear loud music...boisterous laughters...and a special attachment to all these applications or social networking things...facebook , twitter, plurk...and at least 2 more that i can't remember their names.
just makes me think that if one can spend so much time in updating their stats in ALL those networks...that could have been enough time to pass all the academic subjects in school...
so you see...i'm grumbling because all that networking seems to be taking a toll on the academic performance of my beautiful and talented daughter. while i know that friends precede parents at this stage, it hurts when you're the one unheeded.
now, i can feel what my Mommy felt when i was a teenager and had wanted to stay longer in school rather than at home...not go home even when class has been suspended for as long as there are still friends in the campus... manipulate mommy to permit me for sleepovers with friends from school....etcetera etcetera etcetera
it's my turn .... but i have one more teenager coming up in a couple of years...so will i feel the same or shall i be numb by then? i hope not for the latter....
i think i would rather feel bad and frustrated and angry rather than not caring at all...
i think i would rather see my youngest to be as adventurous as his siblings rather than seeing him lonely at home...
i think i would have preferred to have experienced the same thing with my elder children than having missed that part of their life because i was too busy with office work...and nurturing adults in the workplace...
no...i don't think! I know i wouldn't have wanted it any other way...all my children are beautiful! I've been blessed to have all 4 of them..healthy, talented and going through life's different stages!
i'm thankful that i am experiencing this and i will have another chance to experience it again for that means my life shall continue to be colorful and blessed!
