I knew at that moment as I lay on the table that I was certifiable. Oh yes, 13 years later, we're there- both she and I.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211722496888745635.post-71144287813775823782008-04-30T00:04:00.000-04:002008-04-30T00:04:00.000-04:00Kathy, if it makes you feel any better . . . not o...Kathy, if it makes you feel any better . . . not only are you not alone (your readers have shown you that) but there's someone facing a rockier road than you. My 7-year-old has been rolling her eyes at Mommy since she was three. We have butted heads since she was starting to talk at nine months. She has hated me since forever. I still hold out hope that one day we'll be best friends, like my mom and I are, but I think it may yet be 20-30 years, if it doesn't kill me first.<BR/><BR/>Solidarity!<BR/><BR/>-- Lauriefooleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14437690389824744691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211722496888745635.post-73500407636901607462008-04-28T16:27:00.000-04:002008-04-28T16:27:00.000-04:00My daughter is 15 and I BRING YOU HOPE!She, too, i...My daughter is 15 and I BRING YOU HOPE!<BR/><BR/>She, too, is into the darkening of the hair, and pseudo-goth thing (your daughter seems similar to mine a couple of years ago and believe me, she isn't "Goth" with a capital "G".) Finally, after a year and a half of trying to be the cool/loving/involved mom I was before she hit that “my mom is an idiot” wall, I just started ignoring her scathing and sometimes hurtful remarks. Guess what – she started coming to me and seeking me out. Her friends seemed to like me so that made me less of an idiot and just slightly moronic; a step up if I don’t say so myself. She now asks on a regular basis whether or not I want to do things with her.<BR/><BR/>So heed me well, ignore your children before it’s too late.Queen Goobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02579192188338877091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211722496888745635.post-32172981164374275742008-04-28T13:07:00.000-04:002008-04-28T13:07:00.000-04:00LOL..

I am going to have to ask for more of that and video it so I can watch it in a few years. <BR/><BR/>Glad that you had a great vacation week! We did too!

The eight year old is already getting a little more fresh than I can tolerate. Hard, but it's their job to go off and explore the world otherwise they'd stay with us forever.

My daughter is 24, and I'm still waiting for her to stop thinking I'm stupid. (But then again, she has other problems, as well...)<BR/><BR/>Enjoy those moments in which she lets you hold her. She'll remember them, every bit as much as you will. Despite all my battles with my mom, I still cherish the memories of both of us, up in the middle of the night (terrible insomniacs) together. She would tilt her head and say, "Want some hot chocolate?" Of course I said yes. She cooked it in a pan on the stove with cocoa powder, sugar, and whole milk. No microwaves back then, and so much the better. <BR/><BR/>Hope you have a wonderful day - Peace - DRiverPoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846730934649303857noreply@blogger.com
