This is Firstborn....and his girlfriend. This is my baby...my first child. I'm having a difficult time watching him grow up. Actually, I'm the one that needs to grow up, huh? Oh well, say what you want to...I can only be honest about my feelings. When did this happen? He's only 16 years old - he JUST turned sixteen last month. I swear I just changed his diaper! Well, it seems like it! Sixteen. I guess it's time for him to start thinking about girls, huh? Well, what about me? Can't he think about his mama? Sigh....
The girl? Well, she is cute as a button, smart as a whip, and she loves Firstborn. Sigh...He knew (she probably did also) I didn't care for the girlfriend word one bit. I didn't care for the word or her - I didn't really know her and didn't want to. I purposely avoided her. Yes, I acted like a child. And? It didn't seem like she was going anywhere, so I quickly realized I needed to put away the mean mama hat and show some love to Firstborn's heart. Sigh...it wasn't easy. It took prayer and I had to dig deep - reeeeeeeaaally deep. This is my baaaaaby!
I finally officially met her and her mother, which made me feel a whole lot better. And guess what? See the gift bag in the left hand corner? It was her birthday, so I helped Firstborn put something nice together for her. I must admit...I had fun helping him. She's a sweet girl, so if my son's heart has been stolen, I better keep the thief close, right?
For all you mothers of toddlers.....THEY GROW UP! Did you hear me? THEY GROW UP!
4 left a portion of peace:
Whah Whah Whah Whah.....I don't want to hear it at all. I am like you, when did this happen? I could care less about I am suppose to grow up. I am in denial. Even though from the picture, she looks pretty decent, but all these lil nasty girls these days make me want to strap my son's penis to his leg. Lord help me. And it ain't no easier for the girls either, I am going tomorrow to try and find a chasity belt for our daughter and only the manufacturer will have a key to unlock it. I NEED HELP to deal with this. I know I dated at 16 but it is just different when it's your child. I may have to go to the altar and take tons of communion right now.
I know, mom. I know.
It is hard to watch them grow up, My only one turned 15 I know how you feel..
Hi LaVender -
This is cute and precious.
It is hard, I know, to let go but surely you will. Your family will be better for it.
I applaud your change of heart. You had no choice because you are living your life on purpose - GOD'S purpose.
