We know that as our kids head into their tween and teen years, our parental unit becomes fractured and our brain clutter increases. It’s just a fact of life! It’s a gift from them to us, while on their path to adulthood. Like it or not, this is just the beginning of our own personal chaos.
For instance, take twins, they are just starting to gang up on Mommies In Orbit, in dual mode. They are loudly proclaiming their independence and realize that two of them, united against one defenseless parent, is the perfect way to pulverize us, and get what they want!

Brain Clutter is more of an annoyance than anything. It causes us to become confused, forget why we walked into the next room, or it can cause us to forget common words that make up simple sentences.
As we grasp for words, our kids laugh behind our backs like hyenas in a pack. And they look like them too!
Some of our long time friends may say that we walk around with a puzzled look upon our faces, including glazed over eyes. This phenomenon is not rare, it’s part of the parenting process.
Random thoughts whirling around in our heads, kids using their outdoor voices, indoors, midlife madness and Winter can easily push us right over the edge. Is there a cure for that? Well, not a legal one!
We must stand our ground, teach them how to be as human as possible, and if necessary, kick their butts right out into the next orbit!
