It took 10 whole minutes? My 15-yr old can send me over the edge in less than 5!
Just kidding... well, kind of. My 15-yr old is a boy and there have been long stretches of time (all last year)when I wondered what I had done wrong for him to be so impossible, to close-up so much that my usually chatty son was silent all the time. He was depressed about his new school and took it all out on me. This year he decided to accept it and I have my son back--the new, improved 15-yr old version, but it's much better than getting the silent treatment.
My mother had six kids (I'm number 4) and she told me once that I should try not to let them hurt me; they really know our vulnerable spots. But I wouldn't trade any of them for anything. They are my reason for getting up every day, no matter how difficult they may make it sometimes.
