Life lessons

Life grows more complicated with the older you get. It seems like life should get easier. But it does not.

Sure the kids grow up and leave the house. Then they come home and need to borrow money or need to move back in, or something else. You have to wonder how you made it. I must say I am proud of what I accomplished in life. Yes I had help from my parents but, most of it I did on my own.

Now I am in my parents shoes. Wow... My parents are both gone. But, I know how they felt if we came and asked for help. I guess I need to become tougher. I need to be harder on my kids. Yes the economy is bad, but I was a single parent and raising 2 and then 3 children on my own.

When it comes to my kids, I am and have too easy on them. I need to toughen up.

This is not an easy thing to do. I am too much of a push over. But I have to do this.

Its funny, I can stand up to my hubby and tell him what I think but I can not do it to my kids.

Well we will see how it goes.
