Terrible twos, adolescent, puberty a mother's life is never as smooth. We are dealing with one meltdown after another.
Recently, my soon to be eleven years old had a temper tantrum he seems to have missed as an adolescent, in between sobs he tried explaining to me, "can't you understand leave me alone, I am not a child I am a pre-nager!!"
Well here I thought I had few good years coming my way before he became a teenager and the younger one was growing out of the temper tantrums.
Amazingly, he had a term for what he was having, otherwise, I wonder if I would have entered this time questioning my skills as a mother of having a cranky teenager before he even became one.
I asked my friends what to make of this, they tell me they are in the same boat and I think we are sinking before we get to this next destination of teenage.
So are we in transit?
I sure hope so or this is a crash course for things to come!
Life is a school, all through it as we get a little familiar, a little comfortable life moves us on to the next lesson. I have been homeschooling the boys like the rest of the world, and I have a newfound respect for the teaching world.
As a rebellious teenager myself, I used to love the saying those who can't teach. I am left humbled after this one year at home and have to say only those who can teach, while the rest of us pray and wait for this pandemic to get over so we can send them back to their teachers and we can get back to running around after them in between our coffee catch-ups!!
Meanwhile, I struggle with the changes in the education system that have made our kids so smart and aware, while I can surely say like my mother before me must have, "in our times there was none of this and none of that!!!"
Happy parenting and enjoy homeschooling!!
