I find myself making regular comments about the funny things she used to do or the wrong way she used to say things when she was 2 ...

Like "mommy I want to eat my feeties with a foon peace man'
Bwahahaaaaa

I guess its my way of coping with the fact that she's a full blown teenager, and not to be the typical mother, but I do own bragging rights.

I was a terrible teenager, I got up to most shyt parents don't want their kids getting up to...

And here's Jordan, she doesn't drink doesn't smoke, doesn't date because she's focusing on school.

And when she does step out of line, or want to wear that crop top, or whatever it is that makes me remember she's not 6 years old, I have to remind myself of what I was like at that age.

All emo with clothing my dad joked should be half price because there was so little material used to make it. Hehe

Best of all, she shares with me, we talk about her feelings, struggles, and giggle about her crushes and fawn over her TikTok crushes.

Sorry I didn't mean to go on and on and on.

My point was, I hear you, but I've accepted my 16 year old, is 16 years old.... but it's so damn harrrrrd. Lol
