The days are long, the years fly by. I have two high schoolers in the blink of an eye…so will you.
Savor the moments. Try to always remember to focus on the positive and give yourself a break when you mess it up. Acknowledge your mistakes to them - try to build memories with them that will be treasured not buried.
Enjoy the people they will become - took me a while to realize they will be who they are, our job is to support them not mould them.
Good luck.
The days are long, the years fly by.
This is so true. I have a four year old and a one year old. Third one on it's way. And although every day is a struggle and I am more than happy when the kids are finally in bed, especially the last year flew by.
Congrats one the forthcoming baby and good luck! Enjoy the ride!
Mine is getting ready to go to college and I have no answer for you about where the time goes
Tell me about it, mine are 12 and 19 and I can still remember when they respected me :P
That'll come back around. They need to grow apart for a while first. Mine is 21 and we talk almost every day
