Listen to your Dad! After one too many comments about what I post on FB, I unfriended my son. After a couple weeks, he was begging me to accept his friend request. You are the Mom, I know your kids have a lot of privileges, you don’t have to tolerate disrespect.

Shan-
I am so oooooo thrilled to hear you are going back to college! You will do GREAT at whatever you choose to do. I know it! Look at all you have already accomplished. Really! You are a great mom! Teenagers are teenagers. They will figure it out. Now worries sis! I am so proud of you! I love you! Carrie

Sweetie, who said one becomes a parent for “Thanks!” If your not having fun parenting change your perspective! Your job at this point in their, and your, lives, is to have as much fun as possible. You chose to become a parent & I assume you did so to enjoy ir, so enjoy it. Their job is different. Their job is to survive and learn as much as possible to help them survive and hopefully, thrive!! But that is all on them! If you want to take pictures of J, enjoy doing it. He doesn’t have to like it or want it, he just has to deal with it, and if he is mean to you, he will have to deal with his Dad, ME and Uncle Ricky! Same with A. She will deal with you going back to school whether she likes it or not, it doesn’t matter, that’s the way it goes. You have FUN going back to college!
Love you so much!
Dad!❤️

I have been there, Shannon! I promise one day they will realize all you have done and know you did it because of you love for them. I can’t promise you when, my journey started with my youngest when she was 12 and lasted 17 years. You pray, you cry, and you pray some more! Hang in there, one day it will be better! Love you!
