I don't think I truly appreciated the "truth" of reality my mom would tell me until I had children of my own and caught myself sounding just like her. I remember calling her one day and apologizing for all the stuff I didn't believe and how I now understood what she was saying. the term true/real friends is good, but I think she just wants to feel like she belongs/is accepted in a group, and sometimes we don't get to pick the groups. We have struggled trying to help the boys "pick" their friends, i.e. enouraging them to invite them over ect. but in the end they have picked their own friends. Some we really like, some more often than not and some we just roll our eyes. I am finding it is the way we raise them and the morals/values we instill that make them who they are and I have to trust they remember those when I can't be around, because I do worry sometimes when I know who they are with. So far we have been luck or blessed. I had a friend who's boys were about 6 to 8 years older than mine and I HATED when I was comlaining or making a comment about the "stage" my boys were in and she would say, sorry to say it only gets worse before it gets better......I wish she was still with us so I could tell her that I now know what she was talking about. <br />On the brighter side I "think" I am seeing a light at the end of the tunnel for Alex, I have been very proud of his maturity and proactive approach to picking, filling out and getting ready for college.....maybe he is just ready to get away from me...could be. <br />JulieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
