Asperger Mom

I really need to pay attention better! My little guy is GROWING UP, ouch… Does that mean I have to also?

I went to shop for some clothing for him, as he is growing like a weed. And I hadn’t realized that ten year olds don’t wear superhero clothing any longer. I got him a few T-shirts since we’ll be spending the holidays in the California desert. He informed me that he couldn’t wear the Incredible Hulk or Superheros.

How did he grow up so fast?

Now he tries to act cool so other kids will like him. He has a poster in his bedroom - that he picked out. It is of the joker from the new batman movie and it hangs right across from his bed (so he sees it while he is lying in his bed.)

My daughter informed me the other day that he told her it gives him nightmares when he sleeps.

I said, “So why doesn’t he take it down?”

“He wants other kids to see it and think he’s cool.”

I just don’t get it! Why do they have to grow up so fast? I don’t dare let him know that his sissy told me he is afraid of it. He would be upset with her.

It’s just amazing to me how much our children worry about what others think about them. I wish I could ease their pain and pressure that society places on them.

Any other parents out there SCARED that their little ones are growing up right before their eyes?
