They are so blessed to call you Mom and Dad! I am also blessed to call you a friend. Thanks for sharing and reminding me that no matter what it will all work out and that we must press on and not worry what others are thinking. We must love our kids - and I DO!

And the wealth of scripture knowledge he holds is amazing!!!!! He HATES school..... doesn't care for his seminary teachers.... i am beyond grateful that he goes.... as he is the ONLY one of my children that has gone steady. Thomas went some with tasha stembridge and brandy went some her first year... only because we dropped her there... Greg once caught her leaving 2 minutes after he dropped her!!! And tony went t0a magnet school across town and couldn't attend seminary . Noah quit going to mutual years ago.... it makes me sad. i wish he would be enjoying his youth years a bit more... he attends no after school activities, makes me sad thinking of all he is missing out on. NO ONE should cast judgement on anyone... for any reason. I have been one of those who at times didn't want to walk through those church doors.... because my family was the talk of the ward... i would defend my kids and cry in private at the comments of others.... people are cruel and NO ONE knows others struggles. Your family is in my prayers.... your sweet daughter is in my prayers. You have done an amazing job raising her... and one day God will see her through her issues and all will be as it should. Big hugs!!!!FoReVeR WeLcHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898141816047413096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181849747428329047.post-54492310513108343102015-01-02T18:22:13.005-08:002015-01-02T18:22:13.005-08:00I love our family!

I too struggle with my children and their different challenges and it is comforting to hear that we all go through them and that we can all still succeed we just need to be on the right path. I also understand your struggle as a parent in feeling like you aren't doing enough or the right thing.... totally have that feeling daily! I know our kids will make it SOMEHOW and I know we will to! Daily life is a challenge and sometimes it is behind closed doors and others don't always recognize it because we as moms do a great job of pulling our families together and making things look pretty. Hang in there and know I love and support you and think you are doing amazing with what you have and the challenges you have been dealt! <br />Aranne and Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691604594638302794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181849747428329047.post-88972540109657703182014-10-12T18:44:02.618-07:002014-10-12T18:44:02.618-07:00I just laughed out loud on all of those!!I just laughed out loud on all of those!!Rachel McEwenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10488465958172882968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181849747428329047.post-26418565343709082932014-09-27T15:38:35.508-07:002014-09-27T15:38:35.508-07:00I just love Mary.

I always remind her how Alice is/was the same way. While it can be infuriating (just do what you are told) I have seen her time and time again do her own thing and it's exactly the right thing. Recently In realized that "rebelious" little girl will not be influenced by anyone's bad behavior, She will not succumb to peer pressure and while I wish I could influence her to my way of thinking, I am forevere grateful to a loving Heavenly Father who gave her such a strong will- It's taken me 11 years to say that lolSweetmamaKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08603214324891529014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4181849747428329047.post-18668937289499024592014-04-15T09:50:10.853-07:002014-04-15T09:50:10.853-07:00again, I love you!
