If You Think Parenting Is Easier After They’re 18, You’re wrong
It is our responsibility to just love them through this transition.
We watch our children grow and guide them in the right direction as best we can. But when they are no longer 18, it is not so easy.
Most of our parenting springs from the way we were parented or not parented in some instances.
I remember clearly saying to myself at random times when my parents’ answers were no, that I will never treat my children like this! Not knowing then, that they shielded me from so much mess.
And yes, some of their parenting ways are mine also.
I…the strong-willed child, what I was always called, still found ways to do those things my friends or I deemed cool. The thing about me back then, and even now, is that I never required a crowd.
I never look to my peers for validation. If I wanted to do a certain thing or go somewhere that I found interesting, I would be on my mission.
If someone joined me, great. If not, I had no problem with experiencing it, whatever it was, all alone.
