My 12 year old no longer wants me to tuck him in - or say his prayers with him. I understand, but many times, it was my only prayers all day. A sad rite of passge.

Part of letting go. It's no fun, but you have to do it. You can always sneak in and tuck him in after he's asleep.

Look at it like this... one page turns, but you still get to read the rest of the book.
You have alot of great things ahead like... first date, driving, homecoming, prom, graduating from high school... and so on. It only gets more interesting, and amusing from here!

Well, ya and all that but twelve year olds usually want mom out of the room so they can turn some pages in the Playboy hidden under the mattress and form a prayer tent all their own....
