Teenagers

Ya'll why is it such a love/hate relationship with teens!? One minute I love her to pieces (well I always love her) but you know what I mean. The next I'm counting the days until she turns 18. I'm so tired of cleaning up her messes and getting the eye roll and the sassyness anytime I say anything that isn't what she wants to hear. Everyday I wonder if I did good enough, if I'm doing good enough. She's so close to adulthood. Did I raise her to be a good person, to survive? In all reality and with all the times we argue and I get frustrated I do think she is a great person. However, the survival skills are lacking, not sure where I dropped the ball on that one. I think back on my childhood and I was such a wild child. She is the opposite. I've tried to show her guidance and love the best I could. I had her right after I turned 18 so maybe I messed up a little but all things considering she's a pretty good human. That's what we really want right?! Our kids to be good humans... food for thought, until next week...
