Hopefully he notices with the barrage of other distractions and hormones going on in his life. Having a safe loving home in my teens helped me feel more confident and at ease to handle the many challenges I had to face. You're a good mom. 😊☺

I'm just happy you said chai and not chai tea

But yes, more importantly you go glen coco, it's not easy being a mama especially when they're growing but you sound like the perfect support system

Awwwe, this is so sweet to read. I love how you’re guiding him into his teens with so much care and warmth, not just feeding him and keeping things clean, but giving him a space where he feels supported and loved. He’s really lucky to have you in his corner.

That's awesome. It's a little scary giving them a bit more leash as they get older. But we survive. 🙂

Hang in there. If the hormones haven't started yet then they will

You might see more assertive behaviors.

It's not you ..it's almost not even him

Being a parent is hard. Especially when doing it alone. You're doing an amazing job and it shows in him

You are an AWESOME mom.

Awww, well I'm sure he'll grow up doing great 😊
