The applause was resounding

Teri - Somewhere along the way, I just accepted the fact that my daughter blamed me for everything. Did you know that somehow, I was to blame for the war, the weather, her bad hair days, her teacher's moods, and it was definitely my fault when it rained. I also realized that I really didn't care if she blamed me or not. If she didn't like me because I was trying to teach her something, I didn't care either.

She has finally grown up, and I watch my grandchildren blaming her for everything.
Ha!

Tink - that's a great story.

Tink, great story, and I've realized that not matter what we do, for some children, it's never enough. I think our oldest is finally getting it. Melissa has a way to go, yet, but I think she will realize very soon..
