My Daughter Is Going To Be 22
January 15th, 2009 by Connie RobertsI just went through the Double Digits birthday for Peanut in December (she turned 10). Soon Lady Ali will be 22. As my children are getting older I am looking more and more at my age. I’ll be 46 in March. And I’m starting to feel it. Yes, my body doesn’t work like I want it to because of the chronic illnesses so that doesn’t count. But, try as I do I feel out of touch.
Lady Ali thinks that Twitter is a joke. She is embarrassed by my blogs and hates that I’m on Facebook. When she told me about buying eyeglasses online and I said that I had blogged about it, she was annoyed. No, it couldn’t be the same place she bought hers. When I told her that I am on Blip, she rolled her eyes.
It’s even worse with Peanut who plays all kinds of video and computer games that I have no clue about. But, that’s the way it’s supposed to be. Children want to be different from their parents in most any way they can. I can remember when I laughed at my Mom who tried to keep up with the music I liked as a teen. I guess it’s payback time.
I love comments! If you like what you've read and want to stay "in the know" why not sign up for my RSS feed? If you're already a subscriber, thank you.
I’m a wife and mom of two daughters. My daughters are 12 years apart so that keeps me quite busy and a little crazy at times. My life is a jumble of mixed up mishaps, but it’s always centered around my family.

OH I hope Im not going to be one of those mothers! haha.
I dont think my mum was like that (though I dont remember much of anything of my childhood)
Poor you for having your daugther embarrassed! That is horrid lol but I guess its all part of being a parent.

LadyGrace, it is part of a being a Mom. And like I said I remember being embarrassed of my mother when I was younger. She’s a good kid though and does so much to make me proud.

Owen, I bet you’re glad that she’s able to figure things out, probably better than I can!
