Why does parenting have to be so hard ...
why does it often feel like my family is "dysfunctional" only to turn around and a half-hour later we are all the best of friends?
Why do I scream at my daughter (because she is screaming at me) when all the while I know that this is NOT the way to solve the problem, but it's the ONLY way I can get through to her at the moment.
Why does it feel so good some times to get in the car and just drive in any direction that leads AWAY from home .... only to find that 1/2 hour later I am actually looking forward to being home ...
again ... rhetorical questions ... no answers required, but some morale support would be welcome.
By the way, what did we do 20 years ago when there was no such term as "dysfunctional family"
