They say mother of teenage girls tend to have the biggest - TopicsExpress

They say mother of teenage girls tend to have the biggest struggle. Now I understand why. My unica hija just turned 15. I never thought tang I could that be monotonous, repeating similar lines that I have been telling her for the last 2 years. We frequently argued about her staying late because of those gadgets. Now its a different story. She is staying very late with her friends and it pains me so much. So she says its vacation time naman. Im not that strict as I allow her to socialize but my God, not so late at night, baby. Worst, she will not answer my texts and calls. I hope that she will not do it again and will be firm to say No, thanks guys, I enjoy your company, but I promise Mom to be home at curfew. I have to admit Ive broken down at night and tell myself, I cant do this anymore. I thank God he is always with me. If not, I feel that Im going to crash into pieces. When she was a baby, she had a colic and kept me sleepless. I thought that was the time that I needed the patience of a saint. Being sleepless because of a colic baby is NOTHING compared to raising a teenage girl. Constantly arguing with her to set her priorities and staying up late at night and with barkadas at wee hours at night and making some bad decisions is difficult. Today, I am overlooking the ever present - OMG, Oo na Mama. Im letting my daughter know the things I think about when shes peacefully sleeping. I realize that everyone else has fantastic moms that theyre so close to and are friends. And all those other moms are so cool. I need you to know that I am not here to be your friend (though I aching to be your BFF). Im here to an earth angel guide you through this difficult and challenging phase of your life in a way that may help you produce the least amount of pain and scars. When you get older perhaps youll realize how very cool I am. Jemi, youve given my biggest challenges in life, yet most of my greatest joys. I should remind you more of how much pride I get out of you. For as much as confidence as you have, I admire your humility. Youve accomplished a lot of amazing feats. I have never once heard you brag or ever tell anyone about the things you earned. i love the times you are funny and it makes me laugh out loud. You are so gifted and hardly realize how blessed you are. Please learn to share your talents to make others happy (including me - may you play me violin music sometime? I miss it so much) Youre asking me to allow you to spend night swimming with your friends, pero Anak payag ako, if it it will be night swimming sa umaga or maybe sa hapon, please? I like you to socialize, and most of the time I allow you to hang out with friends - sa movies, sa mall, pero wag na lang night swimming sa gabi? Youre indeed an awesome and amazing beautiful person. I cant help but look at you and see the 5-year old girl that I want to protect very much. Its hard to accept that youre growing up. I miss seeing you stand on my high heel shoes and dancing in the house. I am not proud that we have occasional fights and arguments. They say you are going back to your usual sweetness after the time youre 18. However,i in reality, I dread the day you will leave home. The thought of it makes my eyes swell in tears. I know someday that time will come but I am hoping you will leave me with warm thought of us together at home that you will have a safe place to land. UNCONDITIONALLY, I LOVE YOU MY BABY, MY PRINCESS, FOREVER... GOD BLESS, PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF.
