I found you through Melanie's blog. I too was a royal pain to my mom during my teen years. Today, I have a teen of my own. Oh my gosh does it make me appreciate my own mom even more.Audreyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13674641559102984186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-71910389310371140822008-05-11T22:05:00.000-05:002008-05-11T22:05:00.000-05:00I often feel the same way... I now look at my mom and I wonder how I could have ever been snooty, sassy, and rolling my eyes at her. I love the perspective I/we have now on the "other side."

Already, I am getting into the tweenage years with my oldest, and it drives me batty at times! But I know there will come a point in her life when she has children that she will reflect and say, "Now I know what you went through. Now I know just how much you loved me." That one moment will make it all worth while. I had the same revelation about my mom, and now our relationship is totally different. <BR/><BR/>Such a lovely tribute to your mom!<BR/><BR/>Happy Mother's Day to you . . .Lis Garretthttp://www.melissagarrett.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20266288.post-21010207100027638332008-05-11T13:28:00.000-05:002008-05-11T13:28:00.000-05:00Beautiful post, Steph.

The stuff we girls put our poor mothers through. My mom tells me it was worth all of the headdache and heartache. I sure admire her now for putting up with me through those unpleasant years.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the beautiful post today Steph.

I want my mom to read this, because I could have written the same thing about my rollercoaster younger years.<BR/><BR/>Having a mother daughter relationship is a big reason I want my own girl, and I know you will be changing and molding as you become a mother of four, and a mother of a daughter.
