Before I had a child who said that or tried that I remember thinking how devastated and scared I would be if one of my kids ever did that. Well, in the last 10 mos, all 3 of a sib group of 3 (14, 15, 16) have taken turns. Yes, I was scared the first time it happened - maybe even the 2nd or 3rd to an extent - but I'm starting to really get desensitized to it. Sometimes I tell them to go ahead (especially when they're being VERY abusive), but when the temps are low (we're in MI) or when I just have other things going on I'll stop them and force them to stay home. It is exhausting. A friend recently reminded me though (when I was complaining about all the drama) that their bio-parents lives were all full of drama, it was an adrenalin rush for them to do the things they did and live the way they did - so why would I not expect it from these teens? True I suppose, but I can always dream of a drama-less time of my life - in a far, far away future.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.com
