| Meeting daughter's new "boyfriend"~~~~~~
Yuck!!!!! I hate this being a parent of a teenage daughter (and a beautiful one at that). She had a "steady" for 13 months and I loved him. Truly loved him. Then he broke her heart. Now, she meets this new guy. He lives about 45 minutes away. He was coming to pick her up today and go to the park. I felt the need to put on 'decent" clothes and even apply a little makeup. (That's just how I am). So, he gets here and he is sweet as can be. Truly polite, which always earns major points in my book. Shook my hand, told me what a nice house we have, etc., etc., .............. I just hate it. Don't know why. Part of growing up. Anyhoo, I liked him. Very nice and polite. A bit skinny and too sweet for me. But ah, well, life goes on. They will come and go, like a revolving door. Right? Sorry, just had to vent a bit. xoxoxoxo Ang |

You know, I just thought about what I posted and I thougt, dear Lord, I seem "snooty"...... It's not that way at all. I am the least "snootiest" person that I know. I mean, this particular guy comes from "West Knoxville", known for money and prestige. I could care less. I guess what I am trying to say is that, it's hard. Hard seeing her go through the heartbreak and hurt. I know that's all part of growing up. But that does not make it easier to bear. Truth is, she is still "in love" with ex. And so am I.  . Although, I pissed beyond belief that he broke up with her.I just want my "little girl" back, I guess. Sentimental old fool, xoxoxoxo Ang |

LOL Ang! Not making light of how you feel, I'm smiling for you. My daughter is 22 so I've been through the teen angst, first boyfriends, "real" boyfriends, bad boyfriends and the "flavors". (a flavor is usually good for a couple of dates, just to see whether or not you like him) Through it all, I have been so lucky that she tells me how she feels, what she's thinking and she asks for my opinion. It was really hard when she got to the age and stage where she felt she wanted to be more intimate in one relationship. I was just grateful I had the opportunity to give her some guidance and that increased OUR relationship. After 10 years of crushes, infatuations, dating, first love and a little heartache, one thing rings through...her ability to trust and confide in me. I don't think "no guy is good enough for my little girl!", but the standards are pretty damned high, because that's what she deserves. I don't care for the guy she's seeing right now and I have to laugh. She says, "Don't worry Mom, he's just a flavor." Here's to the opportunities our kids give us to get to know them better. May we learn the right time to hug them close and the right time to let 'em go. Here's a hug for you, (((Ang))). I miss those years and kinda wish I could do it all over again. They grow up waaaaaaayyyy too fast... Ki |
