Son is a young man that is mostly confused with all that’s happening at home with Dad and his health, Mom and her will to survive the current situation and not lose her sanity. Your Son and you are under a great deal of pressure at critical moments. Young men most likely reaction is discontent.
Actually makes a more interesting shot than a pasted-on smile. I am glad you are taking photos as an expression of your interests and self-care, which is very important at all times but particularly this time.
I was once told the greatest and most helpful piece of advice that helped me through the 2 yrs of recovery after our daughters mini stroke. “Love the child, hate the behavior!” those few words helped me gain perspective at times when counting to 10 was absurd.
Some day you will look back on this…
And breathe a huge sigh of RELIEF!
😉
Yes, you are so right!

Thank you – I did ask him to smile – hehe!
I think I turned out not too bad and I remember putting my mother through awful teen trials, so I’m sure things will work out as your son gets older.
You are right!
Son looks as though he’s got a lot on his mind! Handsome boy Julie!
Yeah, he’s not bad looking is he! Even when grumpy!
*big hugs* to him as well. 🙂
Thank you so much!

Very good!
I haven’t gotten a good picture of my son since he was 19. He’s 30 now.
You better take one!
That’s a plan. My husband is the same way. I’ve got to get those photos. I’ll have to be sneaky though. lol
Good luck!
He looks handsome even when he is in a bad mood!
I agree – ha!
Try to get him to talk it out with someone unbiased. His dad is slowly slipping away, and it’s a tough good-bye. I’ll say extra prayers for him.
Yes – we have someone now he can talk to outside the situation – good suggestion and thanks!
Teenagers will be teenagers and mothers will be mothers! 🙂
True!
Are you sure? lol
No!
