FOR ME ONE OF THE MOST FRUSTRATING THINGS FOR ME IS THE FACT THAT MY 12 YEAR OLD SON DOESN'T LISTEN TO ME WHEN I TELL HIM SOMETHING. HE HEARS ME TALKING BUT HE DOESN'T LISTEN AND THEN HE GET UPSET THAT HE GETS IN TROUBLE.
IT'S NOT THAT HE DOESN'T JUST NOT LISTEN WHEN I SPEAK BUT HE WILL ANSWER AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE IS ANSWERING ME. WHICH I JUST TOTALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND. IF I DON'T LISTEN I DON'T ANSWER BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WAS JUST SAID, BUT NOT HIM. NOPE THAT WOULD JUST BE WAY TO EASY.
THEN WHAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE IS HIS TWO YEAR OLD SISTER FOLLOWS HIS LEAD. IT A LITTLE BETTER WITH HER BECAUSE OF HER AGE. BUT ZACK HIS 10 YEARS OLDER AND HE KNOWS BETTER.
I HAVE FRIENDS TELL ME ALL THE TIME WAIT UNTIL ATHENA GETS OLDER, THEN IT MAKES YOU EVEN MADDER WHEN SHE DOESN'T LISTEN TO YOU BECAUSE SHE KNOWS BETTER. I JUST WANT TO TELL THEM YOU THINK IT BAD NOW JUST GIVE IT 10 MORE YEARS.
A LOT OF MY FRIENDS WILL TALK ABOUT HOW FRUSTRATING THEIR KIDS ARE BECAUSE THE CHEW WITH THEIR MOUTHS OPEN, OR THEY LIE, THEY DON'T LISTEN, THEY ARGUE, AND I'LL I CAN THINK IS YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHATS IN STORE FOR YOU.
THEN IT MAKES IT EVEN HARDER TO GET HIM TO DO THINGS THEY WAY I WANT HIM TO BECAUSE HE GOES TO HIS MOMS AND SHE LETS HIM DO ALL THE THINGS THAT I DON'T LET HIM DO AND IT' LIKE I HAVE TO START ALL OVER AGAIN EACH TIME HE GETS BACK FROM THERE.
I HAVE TO TELL MYSELF SEVERAL TIMES A DAY THAT HE IS A GOOD KID AND HE'S GETTING BETTER JUST GIVE HIM A BREAK. SO EACH NIGHT BEFORE I GO TO BED I THANK GOD THAT I LOVE MY KIDS SO VERY MUCH AND I WOULDN'T CHANGE THEM FOR THE WORLD.
