Sometimes I get so annoyed at people complaining about their so-called "shit" lives when all they are really grizzling about is their misbehaving teenagers or their car problems. How can that equal a "shit life"?
Some people have no idea!!
In this country most of us have three good meals a day, we have gender equality, we have freedom of speech, we have education for all of our children, we have a comparitively good economy and we have jobs.
But, more importantly, if you have teenagers of your own to whinge about then you should be counting your lucky stars!! Not giving up on them, not palming them off on to someone else, not arguing with them at their every move!
Yes, many of them go through a "phase" of being little shits and it's hard work at times. You really do have to pick your fights! But, they're yours and the few years of neanderthal grunts, selfish behaviour and "whatever" attitude is all part of them testing the waters (and you). Eventually, they remember that they are 'yours' and start to show you that they care! What a wonderful feeling that is!!
'Sometimes' we all just need a reality check!! ... and a hug!
