What do you want kudos for even though it's not impressive?

It's SO HARD in those times. People who can just do it without even thinking about it have no idea how lucky they are.

You are doing great just by (sometimes) putting one foot in front of the other.

I'm really enjoying the teen years but I feel like I can't say anything to my friends because they are struggling with their teens and I don't want to them to think I'm smug. I don't feel smug, every day I wonder if it will change, but I'll enjoy it every day I can. I would love kudos, maybe I'm doing something right? but I know some of it is luck. We have had rough periods too, they're not all easygoing, yes mental health issues too. But now? Right now. It's good.

Same!! I'm enjoying it while I can because you never know. I never tell anyone except my spouse and my kids how much I love this stage.

That definitely deserves kudos! Good job!

As someone who has recently lost two beloved fur babies recently 😿😿, I think you did a very lovely thing here.

I finished watching all five seasons of a tv show. My attention span isn’t usually up for that.
