Welcome to my blog about being the mom to a adolescent girl. Today was a particularly bad day (and we've had lots of them lately), so I thought I'd sit down and write. Writing is therapy for me, and as I was going along I figured there are probably other moms and maybe some dads who are feeling my pain. A friend suggested that I start a blog, and I came up with a title that I've used a couple of times in facebook postings, "Magic Moments in Puberty." So here we go.
I'm thinking that I'll come here and vent instead of opening another box of wine. Scratch the word "instead." Most of the time it will be after opening another box of wine. Because this kid is forcing me to consider chemical imbalance as an optimum state of being.
Today's theme was "YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO HAVE A MOTHER LIKE YOU!" Yesterday it was "I COULD GO OUT ON MY OWN, YOU KNOW! THAT IS, IF THE WORLD WASN'T SO UNFAIR!"
All of these things I understand. I guess I probably uttered them at some point in my life. I don't remember spending hours screaming though. Tears and yelling. I'm so tired.
What do you do when you're stressed out about your teens and pre-teens? I've got wine and ice cream. Would you like to join me?
This is me
On a good day.
