So come to find out this weekend, the tv show the 13 year old has been watching non stop on her tiny iphone 5 screen all this time is Grey's Anatomy. I don't know if I'm relieved or uneasy...it's such a mature show... Then again, it's not about a dystopian society with zombies or vampires which is much to be grateful for.
Then I find out that "I have a boyfrined"... He asked her out by text... Oh, and he's moving in August to Deleware... Perfect... Oh, and his name is Will and he lives around the corner...on her bus...
Parenting teens is such a wild adventure - I say that tonite when things have been going much better. Last week, I'd have said it was heart breaking - which it is. To be the recipient of such disdain on and on is not for the faint of heart. I realized that I put way too much into my relationship with her because when she dissed me - right on schedule, even when I know it is a phase etc. etc., my heart cried out "Noooooohhhhhhhh!!!!" I literally felt so heart broken, sad, lonely. Not a bit roughed up and bitter sweet, I was somewhat lost by it. Too invested in that relationship - should be getting what I get from her from my adult relationships. Learning to sort it out and create some healthy distance for both our sakes...
