My parents just happened to be here visiting from out of town when school started for my boys. While they were here, it seemed like all I did was argue with my boys over every little thing. As my oldest stormed upstairs saying, "Only 174 more days and I'm outta here!" I held my breath just waiting for my parents' reaction.
My Dad shook his head and said, "Don't be so hard on 'em. All teens go through this. He'll be away soon and you'll wish you had him home." It kind of made me sad because I remember what a hard time I gave them in high school. I must have made their lives hell, and yet, they still loved me.
I told my son once, "You are being so stubborn!" and my mother just shook her head, smiled, and said, "I wonder where he gets that from?" It IS payback time!
