Struggling a bit with life in general

[Suzie_Homemaker]

I almost 55. I found hardest part of my life was children who are young adult but still home. They take thing for granted and nothing is good enough. If you buy them car, it not the right one. If you buy them phone, it not the right one. We have 4 boys. Youngest is 23 and not live home but in Toronto near other son, because he in school there. For first two son I had many hard time where I never seem to reach their expectation and my husband reminded me that it not my responsibility to fuel their unreasonable demand. It came crunch for me, when I trying to save for car for second son, and he wanted different one. Then my husband remind me that no one give us car when we his age and World not stop turning.

When you stop trying compete with child's friends or child's wishes, you handing them back responsibility to achieve own dream. If son wish for car, son need figure out how he going achieve that dream. This not magic kingdom where he have dream and wake in morning to find it materialized with no effect from self.

It hard. It worst time of parenting when child too young to be child but not old enough to finance own life and home. Don't let them feel you underachieving as adult when really it your child having want and unwilling to work to make reality.
