It is always so intersting to me to watch my partner, Anna, with her kids.
Although we are both parents, our kids are clearly at different stages in their lives.
Anna - 3 young kids. Me - 1 teenager.
If you parent young children, you know how physically demanding it can be.
Exhausting, actually.
Fast forward to parenting a teenager - well, it's exhausting in a whole different way.
An emotional marathon of sorts.
Sometimes you feel like - "Wow- I've got this!"
Other times - not so much.
So, today, as I dropped my sweet, soon to be 16 year old daughter off at her boyfriends house (sigh)
I suddenly saw the passage of time like no other.
It simply goes by - time that is.
And fast!
So, no matter what season you're in right now parenting your little lovelies, enjoy.
Before you blink, you'll be in yet another season.
A season where they need you significantly less in some ways, and more in others.
