Many parents say that raising kids is hardest when they’re babies, but it gets easier as they grow. This is partly true—children become more independent, giving parents more time for themselves. However, as kids grow older, new challenges, like teenage rebellion, arise. Parents need to accept that their child is becoming their own person, not just a kid anymore.
My 18-year-old daughter has a 20-year-old male friend she met on social media. They connected because they like the same things.
