My parents came to visit me this weekend....and i thought about a few things....there is only so much advice a parent can give. I came to realize that lately, i have been a bit stressed. Since i knew my parents were coming up this weekend, i thought it would be a great opportunity to talk to my mother and get some wise insight.
I guess when the time came, i froze up. I thought about asking her advice on a few things but somthing kept me from opening my mouth.
I felt as if i would recieve no new information that would help me deal with my problems. I guess there is only so much that a parent can offer until you realize that you are on your own, and you know the right answers and solutions to your problems.
I didnt want to hear the same things over and over that i have been listening to in the past couple of years. I felt as if i already knew what she was going to say and that i knew it was up to me to fix anything that i had screwed up.
I think it is just difficult to deal with. Knowing that you are on your own in the real world, and that parents advice can only take you so far.
I had a hard time accepting this. It took me a while to decide on what ways i would resolve my stress on my own.
Once i did, i felt good. Good to know that i can help out myself...and know how to fix the everyday bumps in the road.
Parent....they only know so much
