Thomas, adulte et vacciné
In English you say the apple never falls far from the tree but I prefer my French version a friend invented: There are no canaries in a crow nest just because my lil family looks way more like a bunch of crows with two of them who wish they could fly but don't even have feathers yet.
Thomas,19, has problems with authority and doesn't accept critics just like his brother, just like his mother when she was her age, and his uncles, and his aunts and probably the cat if she could talk.
So it is clear to my mind that all I can do is to let him try whatever he wants to try and let him learn his life lessons by himself. ha! <= sarcastic onomatopoeia, easier to say than to do. My first day at home and I see him repeating the same mistakes over and over and I'm supposed to be zen, well I would say the hell with zen, but it remains the best solution for a nervous mother of a stubborn son -of course the stubborness gene is an anomaly and certainly doesn't come from the TWO parents. So he is trying to become self-employed and start his lil business as a handyman, ok, I'll save the long list of every mistake he does and how many times I shut my mouth. It looks like a big failure.
So, my son is doing a practicuum in Life School and can't fail since he will find out if finally he is ready to put the energy to be his own boss or if he could show a bit more of flexibility. And as for me, I'll try to keep my nails not bitten, my sleep sound, and the communication healthy with a guy who definitely still needs his mother.
*sigh* And if Zen remains a failure, I can always get lost in the woods and enjoy a wonderful summer.
