Sometimes life doesn't give you just a reality check. It's more like a reality smack right in the face. Whoever invented the "tween" years can have them back. This momma isn't a fan. Even though we are almost out of them and the thought of having a teenager is enough to make me want to crawl into a hole and not come out until he's twenty. When your kids are little, they are so dependent on you and you find yourself wishing them older. Then time starts going faster and faster and it feels like I've barely blinked my eyes and the entire elementary years are all but gone. Suddenly I'm not cool anymore and I've been banned from being on school grounds or anywhere within a noticeable distance of my twelve year old. We can hardly hold a conversation anymore because he's too busy Snapchatting with his friends. And worst of all, I'm not even worthy of his respect. How did this happen? This certainly isn't the boy I raised. My boy loved me to the moon and back, and told me I'm his best friend, and no one could boss him because "his mommy was the boss of him". It doesn't matter if he was two when he said these things. They are forever in my heart. I can only hope this is just a passing phase and my sweet boy will someday like me again.
Ah, reality. You suck.
