For 4 years I foster parented other people's teenage boys. There were some challenging moments, but all in all it was pretty great. I came into the adolescence of my child a bit cocky, feeling like this was going to be a piece of cake. We are 2 years in and there is nothing 'piece of cake-ish' about it. I daily remind myself that we love each other, that every other child and every other parent goes through this brutal phase of life. I breathe in...and breathe out and remember that someday, we will celebrate the passage of this phase...by eating cake.
