I’m trying to stay relevant to my teenage daughter- this took us to an adventure in Gettysburg…
When I was in my 20s and 30s I always believed in having an open mind. And when I married at 33 years old to a man with 3 teenagers I thought it was a great opportunity to bond with the youth and also to get into their world and grow as a person. I tried with all my gumption to live them and to be in their lives…
That mission failed-
in both the marriage and bonding with his teens.
I felt like such a failure. But now I have a teen, and, I dusted myself off and decided to try again!
Now, my daughter is 14 years old. She is into HISTORY. You know like George Washington books, and going to Gettysburg, and she is painting Napoleon!
So, I went for her adventure. You know the one where you leave your comfort zone and adapt to things someone else is into so you can be in their world? You know an adventure and well, love…
And, admittedly I’m loving every moment. Even those tough teenage daughter ones! Ha ha
What is something you were never interested in and someone you love geeked out on- you opened up to the idea and it enriched your life?
