What is Mommydom about?
Mommydom is not about feeling responsible about every little mistake your child makes. Especially so when they are in their teens or growing up.
If you believe in respecting individuality and giving freedom and space, and if you really try to, you will see a different child.
Mommies tend to nag a lot (look at your own); it is probably a natural thing, but we need to curb that urge.
Fight the urge every time you want to clean up your teen's messy room, resist telling him about how she needs to wash his smelly socks, simply walk away when you feel you can't bear it anymore.
It helps.
It gives your child more freedom and space to make his/her own decisions, make him/her more responsible.
Isn't that what growing up is all about? Isn't that what you want for your child - for him to grow up? And grow up well?!
