No Longer Children

We can only raise our children once.

They did not listen when they were young.

As adults, they choose not to listen now.

They were under our control for a little while.

They learned what we and everyone else had to offer.

They are adults now making their own choices.

Unlike we were taught, their life choices are NOT a reflection on us!

They have a different mirror and reflection.

Said another way:

Raising our children is a one-time opportunity that we should cherish.

Even though they were not attentive when they were young, they are now grown-ups who still choose to ignore our advice.

We had them under our guidance for a short period, during which they acquired knowledge from us and others.

At present, they are independent individuals who make their own decisions.

It's essential to understand that their life choices do not mirror our upbringing, as they have a unique perspective and reflection on life.
