The Transition to Life with Big Kids
BY : Rebecca Eanes
I can ’ t believe it ’ s here . The teenage years have descended upon me . Somehow it took forever and happened all at once . Parenthood does strange things to time that way . I distinctly remember thinking when both of my boys were still in diapers that life will be so easy in that faraway time of teenagehood . They will sleep through the night . I won ’ t have to lay with them until they doze off . They will be able to make themselves a snack . Maybe they won ’ t be so cranky ( ha )! Most of that is true , and not to be a Debbie Downer , but it ’ s still hard .
