Tough Conversations ......
Have you ever had to have a challenging conversation with someone you love? Well, yesterday I had to initiate one of those conversations. My 21 year old daughter, the one whose my even change, hadn't kept up her end of the bargin re: school and it was time for me to address the issue and not allow any excuses. I definately created this monster so I have to deal with her!! We both leaned lessons...... I learned that I was so busy trying to stop my child from making the wrong decisions that I was hindering her from taking accountability for her actions and she learned her mama was crazier than she thought.

I'm so glad to know I'm not the only crazy mom! Hang in there momma, she's growing up and making mistakes is a part of it. I think I learned some of my best lessons that way.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a normal family! Love my daughter to death, but there are times when you have to put your foot down and use good old fashioned discipline!
ReplyDeleteMy neice is living with me and she definitely makes mistakes. However, she is not learning from those mistakes. Why is it that 19-year-old KIDS think they know it all. Don't take advice from someone who has been there, done that. I think what it comes down to is lack of respect. I knew that 25 years ago, if I didn't listen to my dad I was gonna get the shit knocked out of me!
