She tells me I am fine just the way I am and it gives me a boost because I think she is being honest. She is an unusual girl. I wouldn't worry about the toddler now. Just enjoy him wanting to be "upsa-mydown" (my daughter's words for upside down when she was two) These years go by too fast to worry about that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-490973027263262402008-07-21T10:09:00.000-04:002008-07-21T10:09:00.000-04:00The wonderful kid needs to do what he is doing so ...The wonderful kid needs to do what he is doing so that he can make that move halfway across the country.

At some point, s/he's going to meet a friend's parents, and those parents are going to be impressed by how friendly, polite, and articulate s/he is, and wonder why their own kid is such a pain in the rear. But you'll never hear about it because their kid won't tell yours, and even if s/he did, yours won't tell you.<BR/><BR/>And their college professors are probably going to have nice chats in the hallway with them both, and when they graduate, will tell you how proud you should be of your kids.<BR/><BR/>(Only, please tell me it's more than six weeks to go!)Bardiachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11846065504793800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-81387738763442468192008-07-20T12:53:00.000-04:002008-07-20T12:53:00.000-04:00This post really struck a chord with me.

I have plans with my friends"<BR/><BR/>I don't live with my daughter -- she lived with her other mom (my ex) (the kid has more mothers than the average -- you know how those lesbian moms can multiply ;) . I saw the kiddo whenever her schedule allowed.<BR/><BR/>During her high school years, I started falling off her calendar. I knew it was a natural part of growing up -- for whom, I'm not quite sure :)<BR/><BR/>Its been two years since she left the area to go to college. OMG! What a change. She's this <I>(pause)</I> adult. When she's home, she calls me to see if I wanna 'hang out'. When she's at school, she calls to see how I'm doing.<BR/><BR/>IMHO if you can make it through the middle school and high school years, you will be rewarded for your patience and 'sticktioittiveness'.<BR/><BR/>pemdaspemdashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445262813132179488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-64569169837057923212008-07-19T23:03:00.000-04:002008-07-19T23:03:00.000-04:00*sniffle sniffle*Shucks, woman, you made my day.Wa...*sniffle sniffle*<BR/><BR/>Shucks, woman, you made my day.<BR/><BR/>Wait, does the work "shucks" date me?Fat Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672076019531106668noreply@blogger.com
