It was
years ago when I posted an article on coping up with being a working mom to 3
active kids, it’s somewhat tiring and fulfilling at the same time. My world
turns into this big circle of change when bath time is no longer privacy and
eating is somewhat chaotic yet enjoyable one.
Our family has expanded as time goes by, and this time, I cannot believe, I’ll be starting into a phase
of looking after my teens.
I
never thought that having teens is more scarier than newly born, Every day is a
total adjustment for me, if possible I have to look into my check list on how I
can assist/support them into this new phase of their lives, from their hygiene
rituals in the morning (deodorant, toothbrush, sunblock…etc) till night, I, slowly discovered myself becoming
more and more a panic mom and a natural stalker to my kids. (lols)
Every
night, I slept with fear in my mind, they grew up so fast and I’m not prepared
for it, they started to tell me stories about crushes, about friends, future
plans and so much more, I do love listening to them even if sometimes I have to
pretend that its interesting (hahahah) and I feel that I have become lesser part of
their routine and future… or maybe, I’m just over thinking or so…. Is this
really the feeling of getting old and having teens???? It’s frustrating at times when they already conscious
about how they look and how they feel uncomfortable going into the park when it
used to be their favourite place, they now enjoy cinema, quite restaurant,
gadgets and books, all of it are just really fine and quite…. Maybe I just
missed having three active kids running around the house or giggle in enjoyment
when we plan for weekend in the park.
So,
everything is quite new to me… I’m coping and adjusting… maybe kids of this generation are very
different that my generation, when I was twelve I still enjoy playing, climbing
trees, running in the busy street enjoying
every moment being youth which was taken away from this generation. But this
generation is very smart, matured and they really know what they want and how
to get it.
Being
a parent, a mom particularly is a lifetime study of life, changes and love. It’s
not selfish questing your role into their lives but we have to be in the place
where they can breathe and grow freely because that’s what parents are here for,
to guide, to support , to lead them into the path where they can be the best
version of themselves and loving them
unconditionally to the fullest extent.
Shout
out to all the moms out there of same situation, will get thru this!! And let’s
enjoy every moment of it!!
Love
lots,
