Love this and feeling very much on the brink of this unknown myself... Anecdotal stories from friends with teens are terrifying me but then I also feel our experience will be different - not better necessarily, just navigated in a different way. Here for your tales from the edge always! And did a little squee for my shout-out THANK YOU ❤️
I want to say - I love having a teen. Honestly, they’re just so funny and interesting and excellent company. Culturally, societally, we do them a massive disservice. Parenting a YA has just engaged very different parts of me. Learning to guide and support another human in *this* way… I know I can be earnest as shit, but it feels like a privilege. Nothing has taught by me more about , well, everything quite honestly - hugely related to what you’ve said about the navigating. Finding friends who navigate similarly or better (ha!) and are willing to think outside the box of what we’re sold. Thank you for being willing to hear my tales from the edge 😂
Yes, I am there too. Or at least on the edge of it. 💛
