The last 24 hours has been a bit emotionally rough in our household. There’s something going on with our teenager and she isn’t willing to share. She is creating a struggle in our home with no right way to resolve things. So I’m feeling pretty beat down- and so is my wife. I’m being left with a choice:
I can give up.
I can give in.
Or I can give it all I have.
I’m not sure where I am at currently. My mood is full of curse words and frustration. I’m trying to keep a positive attitude towards life. But at this moment, I feel like I can only think about myself and nobody else. I’m not playing “good cop bad cop” with my wife- that won’t work this time around. I’m also not wanting to say something to our daughter about how she is acting that I may end up regretting later.
So here is today’s Friday blog post- a crappy feeling shared on the World Wide Web. Parenting is tough. Not much more to say about it. I’ll just wait and see how things are tomorrow.
After all- tomorrow is another day.
Making It Up As I Go 
I would imagi e it is tough raising a teenager. If you are unsure how to handle things, best to think about it and discuss with wife, like you said, tomorrow is a new day.

It’s trying to communicate with our teen. She’s angry about something, but is having trouble expressing herself. Or at least, we are having trouble understanding her.

I’m hoping it’s temporary. But this is our oldest and we have two more to go through this… she’s setting the bar it seems.
