I have been overwhelmed with work, home life, and being a mother to a boy that is now a grown man. 😧
Parenthood is a journey except it's just traveling a road that never ends, yet I am at the stage that I need Help! I sit on the floor and I can't get up much less to have to deal with crap. Sometimes I feel my son must’ve been adopted and I just wanna have his real parents come get him.😁
Just frustrations everywhere I turn, to the point I dreamed about drowning in an ocean made out of orange soda last night. It took me a while to figure out it was just a Fanta sea.😆
Better run to finish cleaning the house before we leave, then getting to work and getting reports caught up on, then arriving home to listen to my son rant. I saw an ad for burial plots, and thought to myself this is the last thing I need! 🤣
Have a Tremendous Thursday!🌺

So sorry for your troubles Shrewd. I remember those days with my sons. Now one is in Alaska and the other in Louisiana. And I treasure every moment I get to spend with them. 💜💛💚

Omg, I feel this way and mine are all under 9. I'm getting adds for plots too. I'm actually tempted, one less thing to worry about, eh. Some dream interpretation dictionaries say drowing, floods or oceans represent being overwhelmed with uncontrollable emotions. It's ok to set boundaries w your son. He made it to adulthood, you did your job! Tell him to go rant at someone his own age and give you a break. hugs

My husband read a quote to me recently that a mother is only as happy as her least happy child. That really hit me. I suffer every pain of five "adult" children. I know... We all do who love our kids with our whole hearts. Hugs to you, mamashew. You are a blessing to us and your family is so fortunate to have you. ❤️

Oh Shrew, I could see why you're feeling this way. ❤ I sure hope you can find some peace and calm very soon. 🙏

Thank you Petra,💕 I’ll get through it. Just a bit on edge as I only slept two hours last night. It’s like you said, just struggling, usually I don’t complain, but my son turned me into a whiner-butt!🙃

yeah. me too (whiner-butt). my 'adult' child doesnt speak to me is not civil unless said child needs something. My other half doesnt rock the boat.

Yohoyoh, it’s so true, I wish my son’s real parents would come get him. He can’t be mine, he doesn’t even enjoy sweets- can’t be related!! He’ll eat a couple bites of cake and he is done and satisfied, NO RELATION!!!😆

Wifey❤️ don’t worry about me, just letting a bit of steam out. My son’s car’s catalytic converter was stolen so he’s taking his crazy frustrations out on me. Who’s better than your mom to dump on. I usually don’t care, but lack of sleep is making me frustrated too. I am happy to have you to lean on though, thank you, you’re the best!!!⭐️🧡👍

“Fanta sea” 😭 thank you for your humor and wisdom. Your son (wherever he came from) is most fortunate. Hope things get better, or you at least get a break. 🙏🏼

Love hugs Javadali! 💕 Don’t deserve them as my main complaint is there’s just not enough time.🙃
