Growing up I always thought it would be great to have a teenager. I never thought I was that bad. However I am reminded that I was That bad. I always loved my parents and thought that I told them this. Also thought that I showed my gratitude for the things that I given. But when they say you get at least one child that is just like you I wonder "boy was I really that mean and nasty?"
I love my children to the moon and back. However it seems to be just one of those weeks where everything that I do as a mother is just the wrong thing. I can't fix the right food. I am not nice enough when they need to get up to be on time for school. I never get a thank you for picking them up from school. There is never an I love you good night.
Life is really hard right now and I wish that I could just have a sign that things will get better. I look at other peoples children and just hope that one day mine will become productive adults and then realize like I have that my parents and theirs will be their best friends and be there for them no matter what.
Again I love my children to the moon and back forever and always.

You are doing a great job, and the fact that your kids hate you and don't appreciate you, says you are doing something right. You are teaching them and one day they will realize it, when they are gone. Keep up the good work and don't be too hard on yourself. love ya
So Many M's is right. If your kids had everything their way they would end up as lazy, spoiled adults. Keep on parenting; that's what you get the big bucks for doing.
By the way, I wonder how God feels when we forget to say thanks for this day, for this life, for these flowers, for this snow, for . . .
I think He needs he same thing we need as parents . . . obedient children who appreciate Him. What do you think?
Love
Dad
