Parenthood
Yet another day has passed and single parenthood is continued.Who would've thought being a full time mother and student was a hard job. It's quite frustrating at times, but it has to be done. A few moments ago, I quietly stepped outside as a high shrill left my mouth because the little girl I love so dearly continues to disobey. Disobedience and disrespect was not allowed in my family growing up. This is something she is now learning at her young and tender age. I'm beginning to believe she's bored now and she's needs a more structured environment in the daytime. We only have a few more months and she will be in a classroom setting, which I'm very excited about. I know this is a learning proccess, but it get so overwhelming sometimes. There is one lesson that I do remember my parents teaching me. Patience is the key.

Oh, Natalie! How much I feel your pain!! My son turned 12 this past December and he is turning into someone I don't know! He's started lying to us about stuff, he won't sleep, he is increasingly argumentative. *sigh* I'm not a single parent, but, for what it's worth - revel in the small wondrous moments they give us. I miss my son coming to me and just wanting to sit in my lap and let me sing to him...or being able to put him to bed and read a story or lay there, stroking his hair while we sang good-night songs to each other...those times are over all too soon.
ReplyDeleteI have two grown children, and I can say, "This, too, shall pass, only to be replaced by newer, different drama." It's all life. They really are listening, believe it or not, and you'll see the results all too soon.
