Where's Your Brain?!

After such a great experience yesterday, I wake up angry this morning.  Urgh!

I don't know how much I dare share here, but one of my kids is making some lousy choices.  What makes me so mad is that this child has been warned numerous times yet continues to ignore my advice.  The sad thing is that this child doesn't even see the forest for the trees.  Seriously!  It's so obvious to me what's going on, but again...URGH!  This kid's going to end up getting hurt big time if this continues, and I don't see things changing any time soon.  I feel like my  hands are tied.

This isn't even an ugh, this is most definitely URGH!  Darn the whole agency thing. 

I know my mom must have felt this kind of feeling toward me many times in my growing up, but I really thought this child was smarter than me.

*hugs too* I understand this feeling far, far more than I wish I did. Sometimes the hardest thing to come to learn as a parent is realizing that sometimes they need to learn from feeling real consequences from real mistakes, as much as you want to just keep them safe from pain. And how much you wish you could just package up your wisdom and insight and hand it to them. But really, it's the hard road whereby we get that experience that gives us the wisdom, and you can't lecture that into someone. *sigh*

...and always nearby to chat or at least commiserate...
