I can't tell if your are being sarcastic or sincere in this question but I'm going to give you the benefit of doubt because it's pretty obvious that you don't know me or you would not have asked such a question.
I have zero desire to be a kid again. In fact, I believe most adults look back at the teenage years as being the toughest. However, the teenage years ARE extremely critical in determining what type of person you will become. So NO - I don't want to be a kid again and NO, I don't want to be "buddies" with my son and his friends - I want to be an "educated" parent...There is a huge difference. How can I give him good guidance if I don't understand his world? The world today is VERY different than it was when I was his age.
I have always been very into my career. So much, in fact, that I chose not to have any more children because it interfered with traveling and conducting business. The result is that I only have ONE kid. Thanks to my work, I have missed out on much of his life. My son had a total of 6 nannies until he could start school and then he went right into Montessori school.
I now realize that this has been a HUGE mistake. I have seen corporations treat their people like expendable assets. Companies have no regard for their employees or their families. I'm quite sick of the corporate attitude these days and I will NEVER put my job above my family ever again. I feel like I've sacrificed not only my son, but the children I chose not to have and I regret it. A family is much more important than a job.
What I am trying to do, is provide love and support to anybody that needs or wants it. By giving to others, I'm also setting an example for my son and I hope it teaches him to be unselfish.
This town has very little for teens to do. I have not found any place SAFE for my son to go socialize on the weekends so I've decided to make our HOME available to him and his friends. These kids have entirely too much money and time and freedom. If I can keep ONE kid from getting involved in drugs or alcohol, then I feel that I've accomplished something WAY more significant than my CAREER.
And yes, I AM busy. I am busy juggling my career AND being a Mom. How do I make time for this? How can I NOT make time for this?! Mrs S
