Many of us can learn from this post and I agree some day when or if he reads this post it will mean a lot to him. All of these things...all these lessons are all building blocks of having a great relationship in place when our children get to the teen age years and into young adult hood. How important it is for us parents to learn these things while they are young as it not only makes their lives better but ours as parents as well.

I real...I'm now crying on my living room sofa. <br />I really don't have anything new to say -- Hands Free Mama and Jenn already said some really important things -- but I'm one those kids who was pleading inside to not be the last one picked. I'm relieved that my sons don't seem to be hurt by the same things that hurt me. <br /><br />And this really ought to be published in a way that more moms read it. We all need that lesson.

I know one reason I take such delight in my youngest daughter's sociability is because that was never me. I didn't get picked last, but I sure never was picked first. <br /><br />Dylan is so lucky to have you as his mother. He's a very special kid.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6726176143932759835.post-78831409909675919012012-11-27T18:52:54.421-08:002012-11-27T18:52:54.421-08:00Thank you for sharing the link with me! I applaud ...Thank you for sharing the link with me! I applaud the very open and honest realization you share about allowing your son to be who he is and allowing him to interpret his life experiences from his perspective, not yours. I think if we are being honest, we have all done this to our children. We all have tender parts of our soul that influence the way we think about our children's life experiences. Yet, we are fooling ourselves if we think we can change our past through our own children's current lives. <br /><br />I think your son will be proud to read this someday -- he will see that you are human and that you realized (through him and because of him) a more healthy way to live. He is an amazing young man! <br /><br />Isn't it amazing what our children can teach us if we are open to their lessons and wisdom? <br /><br />Thank you, my friend!Hands Free Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13858906387249067029noreply@blogger.com
