One of the hardest and scariest parts of parenting is remembering your past and all the stupid shit you did as a kid. And knowing that your kid is going to fuck up too.
I remember when I was around 15, and I was getting ready to head out on my first “car date” with a boy. We were going out for ice cream. It was my birthday. I was, as you can imagine, beyond excited. And nervous.
There’s a lot wrapped up in that statement—teenagers are hormonal. Sometimes they do stupid shit. Sometimes they are impulsive and act without considering consequences. Sometimes they take unsafe risks. Now that I’m a parent myself, I know what he meant. I have found myself with similar thoughts as I watch my own kids navigate friendships and new experiences. They aren’t teens yet, so there aren’t car dates or curfews yet. I still have to drop them off and pick them and I always know who they are with and where they are.
and thinking it was gross, but pushed me up a couple rungs on the popularity ladder. Or 16-year old me, whose crush finally noticed her and asked her out. I wish I could show my kids this beautiful girl who had so much to offer the world. I wish I could talk to her and stop her from placing all her self-worth and value in that high school boyfriend who’d end up breaking her heart a few months later.
