More joys of motherhood

Why are teenagers so difficult? I mean, when I was a teenager, I wasn’t exactly a walk in the park, you know, cuz I knew everything, duh, HA!

How do I get through to them? How do I get them to see that I can actually help make their lives easier? I wish at their age that I had a mom like me, which could somehow relate or give me advice that worked.

Lord knows that if I had the knowledge I acquired at the School of Hard Knocks then, my life now would be totally different now. I tell them all the time that the decisions that they are making now, in years 0 - 18 are nothing in comparison to their whole lives, but you know, I dont know nothin'...riiight

Yes, I know I am the mean mom that refuses to sit back and watch them get bad grades, have bad friends and put themselves in dangerous situations. I know the horror?!

Last night I prayed that God would somehow populate my brain with the knowledge that I need to get though to them…..Are you there God? Its me Mrs. Every Woman…i'm gonna need you to help me out on this one
