The pre-teen

So its becoming that time when my daughter will be turning 12 in a couple months. And I always teased about her being a pre-teen. When she wouldn't want me to kiss her or hug her or brush her hair, help with what clothes to wear. Its all so predictable. And all too early.

i didn't think it would be like this though. She doesn't like being here at home with me and the husband and the new brother and sister. You can't tell me it aint so because I see it every weekend when she is here. And she's expressed before that she wishes it was just her and I again. Ugh...

What's a really cool mom to do? Lol and I should be afraid...very afraid. I know...Wait till really she's a teenager!!

  1. Perhaps you should focus on helping her love herself rather than counting on meaningless relationships to give her a sense of self. Reinforce her sense of morality so that she doesn't become yet another pathetic woman chasing after men who don't want her and trying to acquire what isn't hers. Maybe if she becomes a high achiever she will be less susceptible to being used by others. Our community doesn't need anymore victims.

  2. This is a very interesting comment. And I appreciate the honesty. The crazy part is, my daughter is such a beautiful person and is ALOT like her mother in the "high achiever" dept. Thank God. I havent found anything wrong yet with being a high achiever. :)

    I dont think that our relationship or any relationship with her family is meaningless. Thats her foundation. And thats why its so important to me. But in the end, I remember, she is still just a kid starting that who-am-i-journey. we all did and i look forward to seeing Gods work of art that is my daughter pan out.

    Thanks again for the comment.
