So I've been rereading a book I read years ago. Operating Instructions is a memoir written by Anne Lamott (an author so fabulous I named my cat after one of her books) of her son's first year. I really liked it the first time I read it. Now I read it and feel so incredibly grateful for her honesty- all the times she feels like a failure, feels angry with her helpless baby, feels like she just doesn't know what to do, it just helps to know other people feel that way.
So then I decided to get online and see what's new with her and Sam. WHYYYY did I have to come across THIS?????????
I mean, SHIT.

That's pretty awful. I liked the post about Rosie frothing at the mouth better. :o)
that'll never happen in *this* family. we don't fight!!
we just bury all that anger...
17 year old boys are little shits... it's a scientific fact. The opposite of this is my brother, who is 22 and still living with my parents (without a job no less). My mom says teenage girls, while drama queens, are easier.
ITA Jessica, why do people think boys are so much easier than girls?
Either way, I've decided, as fussy as she is, I'm going to enjoy her as much as I can while nothing I'm doing permanently messes her up (I just don't believe I have that much influence over her yet, lol).
