Binkie, Baba, Booze?

Blankie, Baba, Binkie, Booze?

What happened?

When did my daughter and her friends turn from "baba's"and "binkies"

to booze?

They are teenagers who are charging thru puberty faster than I ever thought

imaginable. They think that experimentation with drugs and alcohol is

a "right of passage" for them. I know I did some experimentation

but that doesn't make it any easier for me now that I am the parent. The

situation is turning me into a hypocritical, uncool mother who desperately

wants to slow down the lightening fast, time warp that is known as kids

growing up. I am trying very hard to keep the rules enforced and still let

her be a teenager. Why can't I still shove a baba of milk into her face

with a cozy blankie? I want to go back in time to when my biggest worry

was whether or not she would sleep thru the night. So unfair.

Now it's me that worries about my sleeping through the night while the kids

are out. I'm gonna have to pour myself a warm baba of milk and try to calm down.

Sigh. Oh well, can't stop the hands of time, but sure as shit wish I could!!
