It was an adjustment for him to realize that Mommy had a life beyond taking care of him

Hah! yes, I have to remind my kids of this from time to time. "You know, mom is a person too. Just like you. I have feelings and goals" blah blah blah. Usually, it's when I'm explaining to my son why he actually has to help around the house so that I don't have to be the maid.
Anyhow, you guys have made me feel a lot better because my son (now 12) is such a drama queen (or drama king, as my daughter calls him). It's nice to know I'm not alone. And he is close to 13 and actually has gotten a lot more rational lately.
So, La, I say explain to him that you love him and will take care of him but that you are a person too and have plans and dreams and goals you want to accomplish. He will adjust!
