I think i am that child

im not teen anymore. Im 24 but i have been this way for a while. I love my mom but its just that i get so annoyed with her that i have very little patience and it is very hard to be nice to her. She tries so hard to get me to like her that i think it has a reverse effect. I dont think you should look to deeply at your situation. Look at it as what it is. Right now your kids are selfish. They are kids. They do not think of your needs and are probably not thinking of theirs either. They are doing whatever makes them happy. They are with their friends having fun. To them that is the most important thing to them. It sounds bad but they are at a point in their lives where their whole world would end without friends. Thats just how it is. The same went with me and my bro. After college and finding a real job we have less time to spend with friends and eventually start making our way back to the ones we can count on...Family. So it probably sucks that you kids are dissing you but let'em be $#@holes for a few years. Dont do anything that will push them away. They will come back eventually and be ashamed of how they treated you. You may just have to wait until they are in their mid twenties. How does that song go. "Hold on loosely, but dont let go. If you cling to tightly, your gonna lose control." Good luck Tweet
