Where did I go wrong?
Parenting is not easy and I am constantly reminded of that each and every day. I thought i was doing a decent job, considering there is not a manual that comes with becoming a parent. You learn by trial and error and just not try to make the same mistakes twice. Well at least I do, I think the boys think differently and try to repeat the same mistakes to see how mad they can make me sometimes. You want your kids to grow up having fun and remembering how awesome you were as a parent, but you also want to be a parent and discipline your kids so that they are not complete heathens. I think I went to far with the freedom side with one and am no paying for it. All I can say is, if this is pay back for being a bitch to my mom, I am truly sorry for everything that I did wrong and if I could go back and change it, I would. Well maybe just a couple things. They say pryaer works. That is what I will be doing a lot of, moving forward.

You can only do the best you can. We mothers can be really hard on ourselves when our children make mistakes and make bad decisions (especially then older ones). You can't beat yourself up and take blame for their mistakes. And sometimes we have to love them with tough love. They , and you, will think they will hate you for it at the time and everyone will tell you they will thank you for it later even though it doesn't seem possible. Trust me! I know! My 20 something (don't wanna reveal my age lol) I thought would hate me forever when I finally had to kick him out. But he has learned, for the most part, and has a lot more respect for me now and our relationship has greatly improved. And you need to take that worst mom award down and give it to someone else. I can think of a lot of other people who deserve that one. I only know this because if you were a horrible mom and didn't recognize the situation, you wouldn't have cared enough to post this. :)
