You parents are morphing into friends and confidants. Now, you can talk woman to woman or man to man. What was it like for you? (They THEY are now Grandparents and working their way through their own Circle of Life.) As a new mother or father, you will now be able to reach out to your parents for advice and ask them. My mother/father did this same thing for me.!!! And I took it all for granted. There is a moment where it dawns on you, perhaps when you are changing diapers or getting up yet again in the middle of the night to feed the baby or walk the floor at 2 am trying to console your colicky child. If you manage to make it past stage four, you are now married and have children of your own. They aren't Gods like they were when you were small, but.somehow as you have gotten older, they seem to have gotten so much smarter. You might be able to confide in your mother or father and even ask for advice. Those arguments and quirks that they exibited that were so embarassing to you, make some sense. Suddenly, your parents seem to be more understandable. It might work out and turn into marriage or you might find out that it is just a way of woe.

You find a boy or girl that you like a lot and you discover that the 'way of love' is not all that easy. At least once or twice, depending on how many siblings you have. THEN suddenly it dawns on you that your parents have had sex too. You are sure that it has never been this way for anyone before. Somewhere between stage two and three, you discover SEX. But mostly, it us all about you and your new exciting life. You might occasionally think about your parents and the fact that they were young at one time and remember some of their stories, if your parents were of a mind to share their own youthful indiscretions. Still figuring out who you are you experiment will all kinds of things. Maybe that home and family thing was worthwhile. This means I have to keep going to my job! and I can't just spend all my money on fun things. Woah.someone has to clean the bathroom, change the toilet paper roll and buy the food and all that stuff. The bills keep coming in and you suddenly realize that. Now you begin to realize that life is more than being a child or an obnoxious teen dependent. Stage Three: Thankfully we grow out of that teenager stage. Everything your family does is now worthy of an eye roll or two. Maybe an uncomfortable argument between the parents. Perhaps it is the party where someone got a bit too drunk, was having fun and became embarrassing. You've seen the cracks in the facade in some ways. At this point you realize that maybe the parental units are NOT perfect or God like. There is an ongoing power struggle between teen girls and their mothers, sons and fathers. You go out of ways to assert your independence and to just be contrary to all authority. Stage Two: Soon, you grow into a teenager straining to find out who you really are. They are wise, all knowing, the source of comfort and everything else that a young child must have. Stage One: as child dependent upon your parents to guide and mold you. Your results may vary, as they say in the commercial disclaimers. This is MY perception of how it works based on my experiences. The Circle of Life: Sometimes it just gets broken and there is nothing to do but to deal with it.īy Circle of Life, I mean where you grow in several stages.
