Mary responds: Think of it in terms of the biblical phrase "and it came to pass". Engrave this on your forehead. It comes to pass, it doesn't come to stay. So whatever it is that is driving you nuts at the moment, it will be cured by tincture of time, and the kid will be off to some new phase, with its own challenges. My kids are now 16, 13 and 9. I'm glad they can all dress themselves, get a bowl of cereal and brush their teeth on their own, but what they no longer need from me in terms of time and energy for hands on physical type care, they make up for in emotional and psychological demands. Now we're having homework wars, arguments about how late someone can stay out, why they can't wear certain things, why a half truth meant to deceive is the same as a lie (and sins of omission are in the same category), and why its inappropriate to make crank phone calls to someone's cell phone. Aieeeee!!! M |
