whhhaaatttt?
Picture this...
My 19 yr old comes home after being at work and then went oout with her boss whom she loves like a sister. She has fun with her and enjoys her company. That is a good thing. great thing. She is sooooo lucky to have bosses that love her like a family member. More importantly she is learning about grown up life first hand. She has friends in both of them and that is good.
Here is the kicker part of tonight. She gets home and she is with her friend. The frind is obviously upst. She confesses that she is upset that she is not at a real college where she can be out all the time and having fun. I said that next year when she goes away she an have all that but she obviously wasnt ready right out of HS. She staed that she knows that and she just wishes she could be having more fun.
She then told me that she is worried about going home because her mom wanted her out of the house by 930 tonight so she (the mom ) could have a quiet evening at home without them (the kids) with her husband. The child was visibly upset and worried about the mom being mad at her for coming home early, or late... and interrupting her movie night with her husband.
First off I have kids that want to be home. Most of the time.... They like it here. Most of the time, not all but most. They have friends but dont have to be entertained all the time. There isnt the need to feel NEEDED or WANTED by anyone else because I truly need and want them enough for everyone else in this world.
To make a long story short ALlie went out to the club with this friend so she doesnt feel like she(the friend) is wasting her time and not having "fun".
Missi heard the conversation and said, Her words " What the F is with these people MOM, I dont understand these houses." "I know twenty kids that need to live here with us."
Oh really, I love to think I am a good mom, but truly I am just so lucky to have these kids. I love them and they love me. I worked so hard to keep them in the divorce. They have stayed with their dad three times in the last 8 years. yup three overnights with them. and two of them I was in the hospital.
Anyway the time our children is so short. They grow up and leave us so soon. I want them in my bed. I want them on my couch, in the fridge, in my way. too soon they will be on the phone, on line, and at their own homes.
