Yesterday "Breaking Silence" became live on Amazon. I am excited about that. My two oldest daughters are in highschool I am not so excited about that. LOL.

I was ready, I swear, I was even excited for them. I'm not anymore they could back to elementary and I would be okay with that. One day in around older boys and they've already got number's, and friends, and admirers.... I am happy that socially they do not face my problems, but I'm so sad by the realization that soon enough they will not NEED my help, but instead they will need me to see and treat them as adults. Which I always thought I would be good at.... Yesterday I swear I saw those little princesses that jumped into lap at some point looking for me to kiss scrapped knees and chase away bad dreams.

One dream came true and a new growth is happening It's a ll good things but over shadowed by that bitter sweet feeling LOL

How do you guys deal with bitter sweet moments?

They are independent and wanting to be with others, which means that you have done your job well as a parent in preparing them for adulthood.
Despite what they say, do or how they act, they will always need their Mom. Just continue to be there for them.

Thank you. I've raised good smart kids into brought young adults.... Its not a bad thing just sad kind of

2

You will always be their inspiration and they will still need your guidance, you have had a lot of experience in this thing we call life.

3

That's what they told me when they got home today. Lol. Then they told me to quit pouting

2

LOL ! I think you would look very cute pouting.

2

I'm not so sure lol. Whenever I pout the kids say "mom your face will get stuck like that you don't want that" they run off laughing lol

1

I thought it was the parent who says that to a pouting kid? LOL !

1

I've said it enough they're repeating it back

1

It is hard to watch them grow up but we have too.

2

Yes we do.

2

It is what it is Jennifer. Reality happens. My attitude is to savor every moment and not regret anything because nothing ever stays the same.

2

I don't usually like things to remain the same either. I just Don't think I accurately prepared myself for this shift lol

1

Every situation is different and you have to take it step by step OK

3

You got it:)

2

That's the way!

1

Hard to say, Jennifer, I've only ever seen it in the children of the two life partners I've had....

There's a kind of shift that is wonderful in one way, and hard to get used to, in another....

I sometimes get that sudden feeling, when they're twens, that they're looking after ME........

3

My teenagers are shifting from needing me to wanting and deciding how I'll be there.... It's frustrating to relinquish that control lol

2

It sure must be, never had to confront this as directly as you....:-)))

2

You just take it one day at a time and be thankful for every one no matter how it turns out ?

2

Absolutely. Sometimes I wish I could go back just exist in a moment one more time. But I'm grateful for the memories those moments give

1

We all do ! You are not alone my friend !

1

Where there's flowers there's the sun and the rain
Oh and it's wonderful there both one in the same :)

Isn't life funny, how you look forward to things, but then want to go back again. Cherish your memories, and welcome change. Life's all abot change, nothing ever stays the same.

1

Is a strange phenomenon

1

Oh it's hard when they start growing away from you hunny. They may drift away for a little while, but they will quickly come back, don't worry :)

2

Yes we have a 43 year old that has back with our grandson for five years. Be careful what you wish for :-)

1

1

I'll always be careful
