I'm the mother of a driving teen.... Help

So this post is totally last minute, because honestly I don't have anything to talk about this week!


However, I did have a horrific experience last night... Christian wants to drive me places now because she's in "Behind The Wheel"... (Jesus be a seatbelt)


For the record she sits straight up in the seat with her chest almost touching the steering wheel which alone makes me nervous as hell.


Very long story short I made her go the back way to our destination because it was after 4pm and traffic picks up, and I'm not ready for that kind of pressure.


Back roads didn't prove to be any easier! We got honked at and I'm pretty sure the city bus driver cussed us out!


By the time we made it to where we were going she hit the curb twice when I asked her to get over to other cars go by, and her reasoning for that was "they haven't taught us to do that yet" WHAT!!! All you had to do was move over a little, and slow down like I told you to!  OMG! My heart


I can't take this crap.... Think I'm going to hire someone.

    Seriously laughed out loud. Way too relatable. I took my younger sister out driving for the first time and she somehow managed to mix up the brake and the gas while going around a curve. Took several months until I let her anywhere near my wheel again hahaha

I was abused...

Ok. So while this is not my proudest moment in life due to a family member recently experiencing abuse is the reason why I think it's important for me to revisit my experience.  However, this will be short, because I prayed and promised that I would NEVER let this crap consume my life ever again. I spent 8 years with my abuser.  Not being raised in a household with both parents made me want that for my children so I lived with verbal and physical abuse to give them what I didn't have.  Imagine me a 22 year old young woman with 3 kids and no real idea of what this family dynamic was supposed to look like.  I was raised by loving grandparents, but they were old even when I was young, and didn't teach me what I needed to know about this kind of stuff.  I learned the hard way. I would always fight back which is why I think it lasted so long.  Just because you defend yourself doesn't make the abuse ok.  He's still a man and was stronger than me....

Teenagers for SALE

Where should I start.... Oh yeah! My kids are spoiled! And yes I know it's my fault... I was super spoiled the same way growing up so I guess a lot of how I am comes from that.  I also feel like I have to over compensate because the majority of their wants, and needs come from my household.  But sometimes I want to kick myself, because it's getting out of hand! I work very hard to provide for them and they see me working day and night to get done with school, take them here, there and everywhere in-between on top of going to work ect.... But does that register when they want something..... HELLLLLLL NOOOOOOO! I could have JUST sat down, and here they come and not with a "Hi Mom! How was your day" but with a "Moooommmm I need, I want, can I thins, can I that" OH yeah and YOU take us, because my friends parents aren't running us all over creation like you will because you don't want us out walking the streets after dark! I need to be on...
