I remember when life revolved around my homework, who I needed to talk to at school, what people thought of me, what I was wearing, were my bangs ratted high enough, did so and so like me, and basically could see nothing outside my life. Then why is it that I can't allow my daughter some slack and understand her egocentricness?
Now it drives me crazy! I can't seem to relate to thinking about only myself, I get crabby and want her to fast forward to my reality and then stop take a deep breath, apologize for yelling, and realize soon enough she will see things in this way.
(I really like Taylor Swift music. This is another one of her songs.)

This summer I came across a journal I wrote when I was fifteen. It was absolutely shocking to me how utterly immature and silly I was. ...it was a real eye-opener! But I don't think it has made me all that more patient....
I appreciate that I may not be alone in this thing called teen parenting. :)
