I hope things work out for all involved. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135449791007051809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-66674081511469666922015-10-30T14:04:39.496-05:002015-10-30T14:04:39.496-05:00I have no advice, but I know that being the loving...I have no advice, but I know that being the loving and caring person that you are, you will help them to find a way through this.

It's just another part of making your home "homey" for you on a holiday. So good job Mom!<br /><br />Oh the heartache stuff! My son and his girlfriend of a few months just broke up too (he's 15) Although it sounded like it was kind of mutual so not too much heartache. I'm not sure what I'll do when it's my daughter as I know she'll be much more "moved" by everything. ;) <br /><br />I hear what you're saying about validating what they're going through, no matter how old they are. I was 15 when I met my hubby and 16 when we started dating. I truly felt like I met the person I wanted to be with forever...and I know it easily could have gone either way as we were so young...yet here we are 28 years later and married for 20! Hang in there Mom. I think you're playing this exactly right. Just being there for both of them & caring, but not judging and just staying out of things and letting them figure it out.<br /><br />Blessings and Happy Halloween to you All! xoxocarrie@northwoods scrapbookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337824046780952876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-59569065549563183982015-10-30T11:14:12.941-05:002015-10-30T11:14:12.941-05:00How I wish I had some nugget of wisdom to share wi...How I wish I had some nugget of wisdom to share with you. I'm dealing with a 10 yo and a baby, so the teen years aren't too far away for one of them, and then I'm sure I'll be worrying too. It never ends, and when they are older, the circumstances are so much more serious. It is good that you are validating their feelings. I remember being a teen and nothing was worse than someone dismissing my feelings. Hang in there and keep praying. Pray will keep you sane even when the situation is rough.<br /><br />On a lighter note -- I love those decorations!

Nick might not be the love of her life, but then again he might just be...we never know, the best thing to do is Pray and wait it out until they have made up their minds. Second...I am always here for that child, she has been like a little sister since we moved and I hate that she is going through this, but unfortunately not every girl is lucky enough to have a smooth relationship without heartache. <br /><br />She will be fine, and this will make her stronger and wiser! <br /><br />I love you all, you are always in my prayers <3 Tiffany-Amber Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398705406876201337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271473.post-59364642249616647282015-10-29T23:05:39.557-05:002015-10-29T23:05:39.557-05:00Fun Halloween Decorations. So sorry your daughter ...Fun Halloween Decorations. So sorry your daughter and her boyfriend are having a "rough patch." Hope it works out well for both of them. You are such a caring and concerned mom. My youngest (of four) is 19 now and the only one not married. We made it through dating and break-ups and engagements and weddings somehow, and now only one more to go! I wish I had the magic solution but as mom's we just try to do our best by our kids and pray a lot that we do the right things! I will say that, at least in my case, dealing with adult children is proving to be every bit as tricky and angst-filled as the teen years. I always thought that adult children would act like ADULTS, but not always. Any way, we are moms, we just do our best and hope for the best and ultimately give it all to God. Have a good weekend and a Happy Halloween!Deb J. in Utahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14424364735834182330noreply@blogger.com
