So when I was living in Kosovo, my Son was living with me.
I had a cleaning lady that was tied into the rent for the apartment.
She threatened to quit after a week of dealing with Jake's room. I swear it was like he would come home, go into his room and explode.
I had only just adopted him, so there was a long period of breaking him of... habits that he'd developed due to the neglect he'd suffered from his parents. Getting him to go to school, studying, cleaning his room, bathing... you know typical young teenage boy stuff that is utterly gross, but habits that easilly set in when no one corrects them.
I got there, took a long, long time, but I got there and I swear... I loved him, even through the worst of it... I did... I didn't always think it at the time :: chuckles :: I went grey due to him... but it was worth it to see the fine young man he became, even if he is rather too fond of chasing bears. :: sighs :: never... never raise a kid that looks like Justin Bieber with a fondness for older guys... I swear >.< hardest thing I ever had to do was meet one of his boyfriends who was OLDER THAN ME!
