I was sending Marvell to school this morning, upon arrival, I was already crying,he saw me crying,he too cried with me, before I bid "bye bye " him, I asked him to pray for me......he prayed
"Lord,please give my papa peace,and please help"ger ger" to turn over new leaf" I saw his tears, gave him a hug and said I love you"
I had nasty argument with Jovial this morning..................................and I am still trying to figure out the best of ways to handle my 15 years old boy......
P/S : I am still trying.........
don't be too pressure bro.. I am sure Jovial understands your point of view after he cool down.. take care
ReplyDeleteI have also gone through what you are experiencing now.. believe me, all will be good.. well...
ReplyDeleteTake care.. God bless..
Hmm, take it easy Eugene. I'm sure you all will be alright after some times.
ReplyDeleteCheers~
he has reached that teenage phase.. try to look at things from his point of view kua. Good luck bro, it'll get better
ReplyDeleteEugene, take it easy. sometimes I am in your situation too, and I think yours is tougher than mine when dealing wt teenager. We love them so much that some times we take it too hard. I always remind myself, take it easy, take it easy... I think for now, he needs some personal times.
ReplyDeletePeace. I pray that God will give you wisdom on how to deal with your son in a Godly manner.
ReplyDeleteTake it easy bro. Understand fully well when I went through that with Reuben but he turns out to be a good kid now and our relationship has never been better ...Ultimately, they will know that we love them more than anything else ...
ReplyDeleteIt's that age. The teenage years... Love a lot - love never fails.
ReplyDeleteMore communication n try to think on his point of view....
ReplyDeletei could say that many problems could b due to less communication...
When u angry .. try not to talk .. just walk away.....
Cool down n discuss later ...
Oh wow, his prayer is so touching and powerful. God hears little children prayer loud and clear. Take care bro... it's not easy with teens these days, huh...
ReplyDeleteThe Lord hears your cries, papa Eugene
ReplyDeleteTalk to Jovial again after both of you have cool down. Listen up to him then only you have him to listen up to you. I am sure you can do it. Take heart, Eugune.
ReplyDeleteCalm down Eugene, have a heart to heart talk with him to night.
ReplyDeleteEugene, to share with you; I have a 14 year old boy and one thing I learned is I should not lower myself to his level/standard of understanding the world.
ReplyDeleteI should not and argue/ debat with him tit-for-tat. In any disgreement ,I learned to be very firm with my opinions and think of myself as a very good boss to him, a boss with strong backbone but fair and yet love him unconditionally.
If I need to walk away, I tell him I will talk to him later.
In a nut shell, we should not argue, talk-down, shout or belittle them. I don't beleieve we should be their "friend" at this stage as they are still learning.
May be when they are 30 years old with a job and responsibility , then we can be friend.
Well, I am still learning too...
I'm sure Jovial will understands your good intention. Give each other more time to cool down. In the end, everything will be alright.
ReplyDeleteTake care my friend...

I see my friends had the same encounter too with their teenage kids. One son ran away for 2 days and scared my friend like hell. Now he tries to allow the son some space to breathe and grow up. It worked somehow. Take care!
ReplyDeleteHope things are better now :)
