Glad you had and took the time to reconnect to your little guy. i love what Suze said LOL "Gee, when you have teenagers, the thing that stops you digging the hole in the backyard is that it would have to be so damn big. Of course, I could get them to dig their holes themselves" I have my shovel ready every day oh hugs to you … we get it so much worse from our teen .

Cracked wobblies are a mainstay in our household. Having said this these holidays have been great. I think Mister needed the break too, and to my utter relief he is not (yet) protesting at the reality of school next week. Those magnetix are cool hey. We borrowed some from the toy library last week. Yep, it is no fun being the unpopular bad guy in your own home. Cracked wobblies are a mainstay in our household.

Of course, I could get them to dig their holes themselves... But I digress. Parenting runs the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous and everything in between. It's the best of times and often it's the worst of times. But oh, so worth it :) See, when you have teenagers, the thing that stops you digging the hole in the backyard is that it would have to be so damn big.

It IS absurd, because they are too young really for me to take it personally, but it does get old after awhile. Parenting is a thankless job. I'm holding out hope that then they hit 25 it will all be worth it. I’m feeling rather fed up with the I hate yous and Mean Mommy comments.

Sometimes both mothers and children need some time out - and it sounds like you guys had some great time out. ha ha ha ha – I read a great post this morning (here it is http://balefulregards.blogspot.com/2008/04/on-behalf-of-the-mean-mommies.html ) about mean mothers.

I'm glad it worked out well. It can be soooo hard to twist the negative spiral around to become a more positive spiral. My 3 are fighting and screaming right now. Better go see what the problem is.
