My two kids and I were at Dunkin' Donuts, meeting my grandfather for a cup of coffee.My boys were 2 and 4 then. When the naughty little kid 21 his icecream in the middle of the store, I turned to my grandfather for 22 . I was surprised to find him laughing. When I tried to talk to him about how 23 life with two young boys is, his reply was short, “Little kids, 24 problems.”
At the time, I felt a little angry. The 25 of raising my two boys didn't feel little.I sometimes felt overwhelmed (不知所措的) by their problems and needs. Still, I knew how to 26 them. I could calm my elder son down with his favourite CD and smiled at him in the rearview mirror (后视镜). Back then, “fixing their problems” seemed like my 27 . I did it every day. And, in general, I could fix most things that annoy them.
Those boys are 24 and 22 now. And, 28 my grandfather said, their problems are bigger than they were 20 years ago. And one thing I'm 29 at this stage of parenting is how to be a mom who doesn't help them. Worried about my elder son recently, I repeated my 30 to him, but he told me to stop—told me that I wasn't being 31 and that I needed to let him be.
Honestly, I miss the days when I felt so helpful. But I also feel 32 that I've raised an adult healthy enough to 33 his own life.And so, in a 34 reversal(互换), it is my son who now calms me down, 35 me and then smiles at me from his rearview mirror.
