I am having such a hard time wth my 17 year old daugter, I feel likeat times she hates me.... Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in my opinion You dont want to go to far , but also want to help her / them make good decisions. Morgan will be 18 in 1 month. My only restrictins for her was 12 midnight curfew, tell me where shes going, who with and what time she will be home. She still lied. I than found out the boy shes seeing is not very respectful of her - They are both wrong in how far they have carried this relationship, and hes not a christian which is a big concern - took her phone away (that she pays for) while she spends time at her grandmothers - 1-3 weeks. she walked out the door told me she loved me after i said it, but refused to give me a hug. hurts like really bad- because i want that relationship with her to be good, but i also have to parent. i am tired, and i need to surrender her to God - but she also needs to be covered in prayer. please keep morgan and our other youth in prayer.
I really understand what you are going thru I do have three teenagers. The best thing to do is to tell our Father in heaven that you have given your children to Him. He gave them to you. thanks Him and give them back to Him. Take an offering to your church for them. And leave all to Him He will do it. He being very loving and caring, am sure he would not want to see you loosing your children.Just change that attitude that parenting is hard, no its not with our Father in heaven. Am with you in this prayer, God bless you so much.
