A time will come in your life (single parent or not) when
your child will think you are a complete asshole (and on some levels, you are) … parenthood is not a science but an art
form, thus your paint strokes at times will be sloppy and sometimes they will
be perfect … one day your kid will look like a Picasso with ears out of place
and a nose on their forehead
… the next day they will look like a stunning painting
… they are in the process of learning what type of art suites them (not you mom and dad, but them) they get to choose what hangs on their walls in life …
in
the end the parent may not like the artwork (not to their taste) but that is
not your call in life … it is theirs … so let them paint away and learn what
they like in life … like the days when they would finger paint and get the paint
all over themselves or on the floor … (hey don’t you secretly miss those days,
mom and dad) you did not then … it was a big job cleaning up …
I promise you
one day you will secretly miss these trying days as well … when your children are
grown and out of the house … nothing
stays the same .. Enjoy the journey mom, dad and the challenged child (challenged
by life… their parents… their peers … society… by their siblings, who at this
age they hate …) why the only one they love at this age is Grandma … love you
back grand-kids … you are prefect to me and hey I get it your parents can be a
pain in the ass to me as well …
