Re: Gabby's

Ladies... please pray for me. I am totally stressed out. Ready to pull my hair out.

Just dealing with my child who thinks she's grown, but still making decisions like a child... grrrrrrr...

I need wisdom on dealing with this.

Tough love is so hard.......

Kids should come with instruction manuals!

I'm sorry I missed this. I got in and have been on the phone as well as posting.

I know where you are. I've been there. The only thing I can say is that prayer works to keep you calm. There is nothing else you can do. LOL!

Someone told me to read Dr. Dobson's, Strong Willed Child. When I got to the part that said we would probably get along when the child was 24, I closed the book. That's all I needed to know. And it's true!!!! LOL

Praying for you! You won't be able to go around this one. We will pray you get through it. Just don't try to make her be or think like you. That's one thing I learned. I had to allow her to be her own person.

Let's not ask for patience though, patience comes through tribulation.
