I had to laugh at this!

Joei was really having a night yesterday I think.  She was very

clingy. Everytime I would sit somewhere, she would eventually come over and

pretty much plop right down on top of me. I am pretty sure there was some OCD

going on and I was part of it's evil fun -- she had " the look. "   It was

exhausting for me because I felt smothered and suffocated. I need a mommy break!

lol I tried to be nice about it but I finally had to be forceful when I told her

she needed to go to the other couch (this was after a couple of hours of this)

and let me breathe.

She told me....  I am just trying to cherish me and you need to cherish me back!

Sigh  hahaha

the time, and that is encouraging. We'll get there.

Hahaaaaa  I sooooo needed to read this today.

I'm giving mine her anxiety meds and shipping her off to the skating rink for a

couple of hours with the instructions.... You WILL survive and you WILL stay for

the whole session! lol

Then I am coming home, laying on my couch and watching the Caribbean Cops

marathon!

Out of the mouths of babes, huh?! Teens certainly challenge, but can

also surprise. The OCD part just makes the parental tangle that much

more complicated for both I think. They push us away as they cling,

or something like that - need us but don't want to need us.

I find ours makes a full time occupation of observing me so he knows

just what zinger to throw and when for a full eruption. I have made

the decision not to disappoint! Sometimes neutral is just boring,

mine seems to be lacking in excitement, so I'm happy to oblige.

Parenting it so much fun.....

Hugs!
