The Adult Dynamic

It's a strange feeling having a in every stage of of life. I didn't really plan it this way, it just kind of.... Happened.

I found myself in a texting triangle this evening with my oldest and my middle . My middle was asking me if I could drop him off at my oldest 's job tomorrow after school and my oldest was asking me if he could take my with him to visit with HIS this weekend.

Yep, that's right, I am a grandma too.

So, there I sat, part of me proud that my 22 year old, my 14 year old, and my 9 year old all manage to be close even with the vast age differences, and part of me felt like, holy shit! I have a 22 year old, a 14 year old, a 9 year old, and a grandchild... When did this happen???

I can't help but think back to the days when it was just the oldest and I, he had been my sidekick from the start. Now he's all grown up and doing his own thing.....

 It is good that they wish to be friends..most kids grow apart pretty quickly.

 I've always had kids around. I had one child, then married a woman with 3. There was about a year and a half when we had no kids in the house before my 1st G-girl was born and she was over every weekend after she was 2 weeks old. Now both of my G-girls live with me. I love kids. I'd have another if I had the chance.

I'm kind of torn. Part of me is like, I've been raising kids my entire adult life, it'll be nice when I can have my life back. Then there is the other part of me who feels without purpose and cleans like a crazy person when I have a day or two without my kids because they are at their dad's house.

 I second dayzeeme's comment... you've done a great job setting a family example for them!

Thank you so much! That is the greatest compliment a mom could get.

 Sounds like you have done well with hem all.

It does help if they all live near each other, my children live 2 hours drive apart and you would think it was the other side of the world.

For now they all live close, I'm sure that one day they won't. I just hope they still have the ability to keep that close bond, even if it's just phone calls and social media.

 I can't speak much to this; having no children myself. I will say though that I know life does tend to sort of just happen when you least expect it to.


secret_lade replies on 11/17/2016 5:57 am:
yes it does, I have to agree. It's up to us to accept it and make the best of the situation.

 You should be very proud of them all wanting to be friends .. those age gaps are not small, and for them to like each other and get along, you had to have been doing something right

I have always made sure they knew family comes first and that they need to look out for each other. I try like heck to set a good example for them.
