I don't think it's just because your a single parent. I get frustrated as well and my husband is there. Something about the teen years turns them into ungreatful brats. I just had this conversation with my husband and a couple girlfriends. It's so frustrating that it's not funny. There are days you just feel hopeless and wonder where you went wrong. I had one of those days just a few days ago. Those days make me wonder why I had children or if I decided to pack up my car and leave if they would even notice or care.
My friend was joking that we need to get pardoned by the governor.
We give and give and hopefully one day if we don't kill them (jk) they will truly come to understand and appreciate all the hard work and struggle we suffer through. A friend with grown children said that clarity only comes to them when they are grown and out of the house or when they finally have children of their own.
Sending you a hug.
