So Compostman and I get some "grown up time" to chat and share.<br /><br />It is hard negotiating boundaries with young persons but at the end of the day WE we are the adults and they are ,still, the children...and need to learn this lesson...!<br /><br />well that is what I think, anyhow...<br /><br />Hope the chats proved fruitfull<br /><br />xxxCompostwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028585447065282738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177569082720640214.post-45691493886981287442013-01-12T09:49:47.064+00:002013-01-12T09:49:47.064+00:00Good luck!

From the not feeling like a grown-up (I'm 40 this year and I still feel like everyone else knows what they're doing apart from me) to teenager bedtimes(he was still awake when we went to bed last night).<br /><br />I'm always reading although I very rarely comment, whatever I write never seems to sound right when I read it back. I just wanted to say I'll still be here reading and I hope you find the right balance. You've inspired me to have a chat with DH tonight about our upcoming year.<br /><br />Emma xxxEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13150885408901779471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177569082720640214.post-44032488904426230972013-01-09T07:35:52.838+00:002013-01-09T07:35:52.838+00:00I'll be here to read and comment as and when y...I'll be here to read and comment as and when you are around :-) make a rule that the teenager goes to his room at nine? That way you will have a bit of 'us' time before bed. Good luck and here's to all the stuff you'll get done!

I often don't feel like my 44 years and sometimes find myself saying 'really - I'm not old enough to be making these decisions' LOL. <br /><br />Blogs are a great way to waste time - exactly what I am doing now when I am supposed to be out picking raspberries for tea......oops. I come and go on my posting as demands on my time vary, but I do have a few I like to catch up on, so I allow myself a 'window' of 15 - 20 minutes every morning before I start my chores. This works really well. Having said that it's the afternoon now!<br /><br />We have the same teenager staying up late problem as you. How about going to bed while he is still up and having your discussions there instead. Your teenager is old enough to turn the telly & lights off when he goes to bed. I've found they don't really stay up if you are not there coz it's boring with no company - yeah I know he probably doesn't act like he wants to be with you, but really, he does. <br /><br />Good luck with your re-grouping :-)<br /><br />SxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10546535273837250640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5177569082720640214.post-36405610809962383282013-01-08T23:44:14.324+00:002013-01-08T23:44:14.324+00:00I have cut down to one blogpost a day - what began...I have cut down to one blogpost a day - what began as the occasional evening post had become a daily routine. And like you I am struggling with getting to bed early - sometimes we get in from an evening event at church and need to wind down, and we are so tired that we take too long to get to bed. Like tonight. Not good when I am going to have to have some Very Early starts when my new job kicks in on Friday.<br /><br />But having someone else who is sharing the resolve is a great help isn't it?<br /><br />It will all work out in the end xxAngelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13494078135251214182noreply@blogger.com
