So many feelings surround the every day roles of parenting; one minute your in season and the next your out of season. The lives of the children you so delicately protected and nurture to be productive members of the future is not always what they turn out to be.
Remember when your children looked to you as the greatest parents on the planet; Earth? Remember when they secretly hid their boyfriend/girlfriends from you because you were the ENFORCER; at least at home? Remember their neighborhood peers looking to you as being the best parents in the neighborhood, not because you were always there but because you cared and it was evident.
Well, all that does come to a screeching halt at some point in this parenting cycle. The door to the world as you know does shut at some point. The children you stayed up all night praying for eventually grow to be people you sometimes really don't know or understand. They are different from the kids you spent so much time correcting and molding to be.
Although we wonder How does this happen? Is it society, is it a cultural thing, or is it just the way it is written to be?
Maybe, it is destined to be the way it is today because yesterday is meant to be the corrective plan for tomorrow.
