How did this happen?
She's turning 21 soon. Lately I feel like I'm not doing enough. Suddenly "adulthood" is here, and there is so much left to teach. Its not about cutting myself some slack, because I know I have done plenty. Its about realizing there is just still so much! Where do I begin to teach the rest of it? I feel like I've left out so much. What do I teach the next one now so I don't feel the same when he turns 21? Or will I always feel this way, no matter their age? Have I not focused enough one one area or another?
These are the thoughts of a mom, when the house is quiet at 2:30 a.m.
My daughter is 32 and thankfully still lives at home so every day there is a teaching moment somewhere! I don't think we'll ever be done teaching our kids, typical or not! Not that they'll let us. :)
