I just thought I would share, that I love this board and am so glad I came here. One of the reasons is because I have learned so much in such a short time...ie. I talk out of both sides of my mouth LOL as do many here from posts that I have read. One min. we dole out advise to someone saying...let your child be independent, make there own decisions etc...then the next, we are posting something about our own child and saying, in so many words...I want to control the situation, they aren't ready to make there own decisions. LOL. I realize that reading and learning will help me to be a better parent. I really am taking it all in from everyone and watching how and what I do with my teens. Anyhow, just wanted to throw that out there :) Thanks to all who share their hearts, it's not always easy!

I know what you are saying! It is SO easy to dole out advice to others that seems so 'obvious' yet we can't put that SAME advice into place ino our own lives! I notice that too----I have a really hard time not controlling.........arrgh!!

I love this board too....it's so nice to talk to people!

Me four - it's so great to know what I'm experiencing is 'normal', and to get perspective on things to come!
