For some reason she missed this rebellion when she was still young enough for me to tell her what to do. Now it's just unsolicited advice. You know, they "you shouldn't get married right now" and the "are you sure a divorce is next, it hasn't even been a year?" Grrr. Either way, I've always tried to live by the notion that, if your kids don't hate you every now and then, you're doing it wrong. For the most part, I have a 'can't ask for better' relationship with my girls, almost 17 and 21, but sometimes I have to jerk back the reins and let them know, who birthed who, leaving them to walk away with that "man, I hate that b****" running though their backsass talkin' mouths.marisa maestashttp://profiles.google.com/mamanature73noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6546454996824404972.post-42570825736890010112011-05-02T18:16:12.659-04:002011-05-02T18:16:12.659-04:00This is GREAT.
