Kids

Why do kids make it hard?
They love not paying attention and cant understand why we get frustrated. I suppose its because we have been trained to be so. I try to take the different rout, the gental and calm way. But sometimes even I slip up and become that frustrated parent. I think its because we cant rember who it felt to be little and pushing the boundaries of our parents. I know teenagers push and some don't even realize thats what they are doing. It's hard for a parent to be dependent for everything to go to I can do it myself independent child.
I love how independent my kids are becoming but I find it hard to adjust to being their 24 hours for everything to every now and then. I will get the hang of it, i just need some time ;) Have you ever gone through a troubling life alternating experience? If so why not share it, I am sure others would be relived to know they are not alone in such things.
