If you can’t keep enough food in your cupboards…
If you can’t tell the husband’s from the son’s shoes and socks…
If you feel like a taxi driver more than a parent…
If you say “this too shall pass” more than once a week…
If you have learned to ask open ended questions to avoid a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer…
If you've been told “Ugh, you’re so old.”…
If you've been given a long hug, just because…
If you have explained for the 103rd time that they are still a child in your home…
If you have prayed for their innocence to last just a couple more years…
If you have to look up to look them in the eye…
You may just be a parent of a teenager boy.
