Hugs Stef, your kids know that you and Rich love them and only want the best for them. If it can’t be figured out on thier own then I’m positive that they will ask for your help and advice. Adorable pups 🐶🥰.That always happens to me, ready to go out shopping, I get comfortable for a minute and nope don’t feel like going🤭😂
All the dogs were just gorgeous today! Im so sorry for your struggle with your adult child. Thats a hard road & hard to know how to handle without pushing them away more. Praying you find the way Stef. Loved the lil bows you got. Wow I havent had spray cheese in forever. Now I want some! 😂
Thank you for being vulnerable, through you I am beginning to understand my dad more. I hope your child gets you and maybe it was just the timing. I was short with my mom but I know she meant well. With her it was the way she carried herself, like she made sure to let everyone know what she did but you are not like her. Sending big hugs💚
Gi Stwf, yes it ok to "blubber" let it out, it clears your mind and heavy heart and clears your mind. Parents go through many phases with children. Just for you to let them know you are there for them and give them your blessing is all they need so they could work out their life. Keep showing your plants please and dog before and after, love that!
Steph I am the same as you. Both my boys have just had basement flooding and on top of my baby granddaughter going through leukemia( 1 year today) and appliances breaking and its just way too much for them. I just want to make everything better. So I understand your emotions.
Life sure is hard…. I lost both my parents to cancer when they were young.. My Dad passed away when he was 38. I was 15. My Mom passed away at 61 and I was 40. I am also an only child. I have one son that is 15 and we are very close, but not a day goes by that I don’t miss them and wish they were here. The grass is always greener, isn’t it? What i wouldn’t give for a parent to tell me they had my back now. I am 45 but i feel like my son is missing out on so much, both of us really, not having them around…. In fact you and Rich really remind me of my parents when they were younger. They had a really good relationship like the two of you… my Mom was blonde like you, Dad was darker like Rich…. And they absolutely LOVED gardening together.. I get happiness every morning when I watch your videos…. So, if nothing else today, please know that you always bring me a smile and feeling of comfort.
In fact, I get bittersweet tears almost every time i watch you…. But it’s a good thing…. So, don’t ever feel bad for blubbering lol… I’m always blubbering lol. 😂😅
You are keeping g it real. I blubber along with you, as I also have had issues on and off. But I like that you said not on their back, you have their back.
It's alright, we understand .I've been a mom for 44 years and a grandma for 16 years . And I've had to talk and cry with them all.all you can do is be there,love them, and pray a lot . So if you need to vent, we'll be here❤
I’ve been wanting to tell you all of this for awhile now…. There are so many other similarities… We also had cocker-spaniels when i was growing up…. I hope you never stop posting. ❤
Stef, As for our children getting along, sadly our Daughter and her Brother just don't speak to each other, they can't stand each other, I guess I always hoped for a close family, and for us all to get along, but sadly that didn't happen. It's certainly not a LEAVE IT TO BEAVER type family, and it makes me sad. But there's nothing I can do about it. I have tried very hard, but it just hasn't worked. We have always tried very Hard to have their backs, and help if needed, and wanted. It's upsetting, but you just have to let things work themselves out. I'm so Sorry you are upset about what's happening. Raising even grown family is not easy. I'm certainly hoping things do work themselves out. God Bless You and Your Family
It's not 'blubbering' when it's concerning our kids. They're a tender subject. Saying a prayer for you and the kid❤
Aww sweet little shy Leo

Hi Stef, the only thing we can do as parents is tell our children’s that if they do need help we are there for them.
The dogs are cute. Take care .❤
Love you guys! ❤️ 🙏

Staff, let them know I both are there for them. Sometimes their ego hurt and they don’t ask. Don’t feel bad. U both are kind hearted people.
I think someone went to the grocery store hungry! lol

No one warns you how hard it is to parent adults. All you can do is let them know you are there. Hugs
