phonymacaroni

being the parent of teenagers is exasperating. quite a different ballgame than when they were younger. like delving into a pool of muddy water after swimming in the lukewarm lake; longing for adult swim! older child has me worried. testing the boundaries of life and swimming against the current, not a real strong swimmer either. getting pulled in directions we don't want. how to change? our opinions don't matter, only those of friends. nice group of kids, but all trying to find their own way, experimenting, leaving safe places behind, poor judgement, not stopping to think.

want to help them swim back to safetyand don't know how. standing on the shore as they drift further away. younger child also trying to find an identity. lots of emo music, lots of concerts.

very creative, making jewelry out of unusual objects. thinks for self more than other child. want to protect thm both!
