Yes I remember being a teen, my poor mother. In many ways I imagine it is worse, they still cannot tell you what it's wrong and their problems are harder to solve.

Man, that's the truth. Our son became a hermit with a nervous twitch - I have my theories. My daughter/best buddy came to hate me, and I didn't like her very much. We all survived, although I must admit there were times when I wanted to physically HURT the daughter. She sure knew how to trip the anger trigger, and I am a non violent person.

Been there, done that. Glad we all survived.

I made my mother cry. More then once, and she is not an emotional woman. Dad just ducked out when we got into it...I have apologized...

I made my mother cry once (that I am aware of) and she , too was not an emotional person. Part of me has never forgiven myself for that.

Indeed!

Been sitting here planning my day today.... Gonna fix the deck drain pipe on the pool. Fixin to add two vent windows in the coop as I don't feel what I have right now is adequate. Not really looking forward tot hat and feel I've already bit off more than I can chew....

Cue the rain.....

dagnabbit.

I feel your pain - had a big list of things I was going to do just as soon as I got my shower........got my shower, turned off the water and, "What's that I hear?" - rain, pouring down outside.....was just a brief burst, but doesn't bode well for the rest of the day.

good for you and house work........

I'm glad I have a very large front porch that let's me still work on my projects when it's raining........

My poor husband cannot wait to again have a work area that he can use for all his projects -- we have a covered back porch, but it isn't always sufficient, especially when the wind blows the rain up onto it from the sides. I have a feeling that even if *we* don't have a shop/garage at our next home he'll be spending more than enough time at his folks' place so he can work out in that garage with his dad.

Morning! Thanks for the double pots... Still no babies.... at least I got more sleep last night. Less stress with it being above freezing and no blizzard!
Today looks beautiful and the nighthawks are out and doing their thing in the early light. I love the sounds that they make.

Glad you got some sleep, those ewes can be real buggars about dragging things out as long as possible so that you are on (or possibly just over) the brink of losing your mind before they release their little hostages.

I have said many times, in total seriousness, that I am surprised my mother even speaks to me, let alone actually LIKES me after the teen ager I was. We had some things happen around the time of my teen years and I became a very angry person and my mom was an easy target of a lot of that anger......

it doesn't get any better as they reach their teens either......lol

I heard something around the time my daughter was born that makes total sense now -- God makes babies tiny and cute so that you will love them and care for them through the exhaustion and frustration ----- then he turns them into teenagers so you will let them go.

I made my mother cry once (that I am aware of) and she , too was not an emotional person. Part of me has never forgiven myself for that.

I carry a lot of regret about things that were said and done between my mom and I around the time I was 13-17.........

I remember one of the times I spanked my son and he said "OUCH that HURT!" I told him if that was the first time it hurt, I had been doing it wrong for a long time!

Thank goodness he grew into the man he did, despite my lack of good mothering skills...
