For quite some time now, I have been struggling with my inner thoughts.
Nic has grown up to be a young man, albeit an impatient one. And I can't help missing the old Nic, but at the same time yearn to share his teenhood. For some reason, I feel like being on the outside most of the time. It also doesn't help that I have my hands full with Andrick. Anyway, the Nic of last year was totally another person compared to this year.
We frequently find ourselves struggling to come to a compromise of opinions. Well, at least he's trying. I dread the day that he stopped caring.
Now I find myself having to explained the mechanics of how a FAMILY functions, the ups and downs, how we have to constantly give and take and learn to not only see the bad but also appreciate that everybody have their good and bad points. He is at the stage where everything uncool is a hindrance to him enjoying life; Andrick's constant wailings, Venice's tantrums, Bryan's.....well, I'm very sad to say that he doesn't like much whatever Bryan does. If I can have one wish, I would not wish for wealth (well, but it's better if we are at comfortable level, not struggling) but for HARMONY in the family.
