As a teenager we can’t even perceive that our parents were once our age. What do they know about being a teenager?
Now I am the Mum and my daughter is 15 with her first boyfriend. Can I possibly understand what she is going through? Well yes, I was 15 once and thank goodness she is NOTHING like I was at her age (Mum, I apologise profusely!) but in her eyes, I’m just “Mum” and I’m “old”.
I can almost hear my Mum say “one day, when you have your own children, you will understand!” I am waiting for the “I told you so” Love you Mum!
