Bad to Good

Conversation between the Teen and Momley…

"If I told someone that they were bad before but they are good now, would that be considered an insult?"

"Depends on perspective!"

"What is your perspective? I want to know what you think?"

"I think it is good. I would take that as a compliment."

"In that case, I want you to know that you got better at being a parent to a teenager in the last 3 years. You weren't so good before, but now you are quite good. You are getting there!"

Now, should I still take that as a compliment?!


Note: As I finished typing the above statement, I got a call. The call was from Hans’ pediatric dentist’s office reminding me that he is way overdue for his regular checkup! It made me feel like a terrible mom.

It was a much needed reminder and a humbling moment for sure! There is indeed no rest for the wicked!
