I’ve been having a lot of conversations with mothers recently about 17 year old boys. I just want to encourage everyone that it gets SO much better eventually! I was delighted about 3 months ago when I realized my 20 year old had matured to the pleasant, sweet, kind person that I had raised. Funny story – I was telling him that we had a bit of conflict with his 18 year old brother, and he said “Really? Gee, Mom, I never had any conflict with you and Dad!” Seriously, it was all I could do to not laugh out loud! We had plenty of conflict! He just doesn’t remember it! At that point I decided that we must have done something right when he was a teen. So hang in there – teenage attitudes may be rotten now, but one day they’ll grow up and become adults, and all your hard work will pay off.
We just completed a major redesign of our website that goes live today. My techie husband, who has worked very hard making everything beautiful, would much appreciate it if you would poke around the new site and let us know what you think. There is even a new “Contact Us” button on the site that you could test to give us some feedback! Thanks!
