Oh wow. How life passes by so quickly. In just a blink of an eye kids grow. I found an old archive photo C.D. with pictures of my kids. I spent a good day going through the photos and just being in awe. How much I have changed, my husband, where we have lived, how we lived, mostly though, I was in awe over my kids.
At one point in time they KISSED each other!!! Loved each other, and would even pose and let me dress them up!!! That is no more! HA! Even my best friends kids I seen pictures of and its just like WOW. Its only been a few short years, and yet the kids used to be BABIES and now they are teens, tweens, in school, snotty and all that. No more babies.
I found out that my friends daughter, is now doing "grown up" things. Its her life, she's 16 (going on 24 right) and she thinks she knows it all, I remember being there, and I remember getting pregnant and not finishing school too. I knew the risks involved, I took the risks. It was my problem and although things were rough, I think I did a good job. I am not saying my friends daughter couldn't but I look at her just as I look at my own kids and I see a baby. I do not see a child that could put someone elses needs in front of her own for sure. I see a self involved teen that wants to spend 20.00 on make up and 40 on a pair of jeans. I wish I could somehow give her the wisdom we all lack at that age. Sex is not that great, especially not when your worried about if he's going to dump you, if your doing it right, if you might get pregnant ect. ect. ect. Its much funner when your married, allowed and know he's stuck with ya ;o)
So when I am having a "Text" Conversation with my teen about this, she tells me she does not give in to peer pressure, and then lets me know she's been asked to smoke, do drugs and have sex, and declined each offer. Now don't get me wrong I am VERY pleased she has turned the offers down, but just knowing she's been OFFERED??? Makes me want to shit myself, and then grab her and never let her out of the house again. Did I say I would never homeschool??? I might change my mind on that one.
SO I have to say I think, so far, I have raised a pretty great kid. Pretty great kids. Sure they try to kill each other, tell me they hate me, make big messes and talk back and turn into snots half the time... but they are good kids. I love them and I am lucky to have them. Sometimes I forget what life might be like and how dull it would be without them.
Where does rock and roll come in on this blog? It doesn't. It just made for a catchy title.
