My DS#1 is 24 and DS#2 is 17. I can hardly believe it. Where did the time go? Wish they were babies again.

All 3 of mine are grown and out of the home. Antsy left for Germany last July, and the other 2 are married and live near our town.

My MIL lives with us, so the next isn't quite empty, but WAY different.

I have 4 sons, ages 32,29,27,23. the 2 oldest are married. The 2 youngest are at home. They left but moved back. Hopefully they will be moving out again this summer. That's
the plan anyway.

My oldest ones are 20, 18 and 16. The toddler years were sooo much easier! Some days are great and other days I feel like I am going to lose my marbles.

I have young ones so your scaring me here.haha. I had to sit all my kids down and explain that everytime they fight I get stressed out and my heart literlly hurts. Which is true. I get chest pains when stressed. I told them they needed to pray and ask God to help them by not fighting. It seems to help a bit. They know that if momma has to go to the hospital things would be really sad at home. I know it is hard to have teenagers I can still remember being one. My mom and I hated each-other. We to this day still have issues. She hates the fact that I am a christian. So keep at it, It may not be easy and you may get discouraged, but keep trying, and keep looking up. May God Bless you with Peace in your heart and mind.

Ok I have son 16, 2 girls 13 and 8 and you are scaring me also. I thought it was to get better after the teen years. Please tell me I am right.

I have a daughter 29, son 22....they are both on their own and at home I have a 15 year old and 12 year old, they are all boys except my oldest. :)

Pray for your children every day and trust that God will work in their lifes, especially as they venture out and make the same mistakes we did. :hug Just always be there for them.

My children range in age fro 23-33. My oldest was the only one who gave me any real problems in the teen years and, as I look back, I realize that even those problems were fairly minor. Once he spent a few years in the military, he did a little growing up and realized that Mom and Dad actually did have a clue. :aha One thing I learned. Not only is it important to pray for your children every day, it's also important that they know you're praying for them. I found that praying over each child in the morning before anyone heads out the door is a great way to start the day. I would put my hand on the child and pray out loud so the child would know for sure that I was truly praying and knew what I was praying. This can be done while they eat, while they brush their teeth or you can even get them out of bed 5 minutes earlier to devote that time to prayer.
