My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[BeingMe]

Yep, definitely the teen thing. They feel that everything revolves around their needs and wants. Hate to hear the word "no". Been there done that, and the last one is 17 and almost done ... still the odd selfishness now and then, but otherwise quite calm. I am glad I stuck it out with my H these last five years, for no other reason, that there was another parent to help. They have no idea about the struggles of parenting, looking after a house, working, etc.

Please don't feel like a failure ... that title belongs to your XH, even if he thinks otherwise. I bet the "crazy" word came from him.

You're doing great, but teens can blow up one's worst days to mega proportions, when it is just a bad day.

Take care.
