HELP !!! Advice needed!!!

[DianaB]

You have me laughing over your "one more hurdle under my belt" comment!!!! I hope that you have a really big belt because the teen years have a lot more hurdles!!!! And they're the hardest ones because they're towards their independence. Just hang on to your hat, Michelle, and keep the communication open!!!!

P.S. I think that you handled this "hurdle" very well!!!!

Haha. So when it's time, it's time, and if you can be supportive of her and be her friend through this, that's what you want most!

I'm so glad you worked with her and everbody's happy. You're a good Mom!

My Mom didn't even say no like Val's did - I was afraid to even ask her! So...my cousin and I snuck and shaved my legs and then ended up wearing long pants for an entire summer I was so afraid she'd notice.
