It is a blessing--yet--at the same time a painful process.
Just keep telling yourself, "Like a kidney stone, this too shall pass..." Parenting is the best job I've ever had, but it sure does have its days. If I've actually learned anything at all, it would be to laugh as much as you can because there is always gonna be something later to either piss you off or make you want to cry. You can't prevent either one, so laugh while you can--that way you can at least remember the last time you laughed whenever you are hip deep in the other stuff. The true payoff comes when your grown kids CHOOSE to spend time with you and they CHOOSE to call you because they realize that you love them and they love you, and they even kind of LIKE you most days.
The rest of it is a crap shoot, I think.
Happy Mother's Day to you!
Laura
