v...baybee... i never said i was right.  I just said it creeps me out. 
 
My mom has always tried to be "friends" with me and it's always creeped me out.  Even now, really.  We don't have a bad relationship but i have my friends and she's my mom.  that's ok.  For us.  There's no reason you should repeat your mom's "mistakes" if you can help it and don't want to.  I'm not suggesting you do.  and this, btw is also why i said, maybe this is another good reason I don't have children. 
 
who knows who's right but if you publish that manual, you'd make a boatload of money.  I wasn't aware there is one and i thought that's 3/4 of the problem with trying to be a good parent. No manual!  The fact is, and we all know this.  Nobody's right or wrong when it comes to parenting.  Every parent does what they think is the right thing.  sometimes it doesn't work out.  Most of the time, kids grow up to be productive, caring members of our society. 
 
ain't love grand?

Oh c'mon Debbi....parents are "supposed" to disagree??  Where's that rule written down??  Because apparently, I'm missing that page in my handbook!  Me and my daughters ARE best friends, and we DO share the same taste in music, clothing, and just about everything else.....there's nothing wrong with it!  Maybe it's my fervent desire to have a better, calmer, relationship with my daughters than the one I had with my own mother growing up....we did disagree on everything....her punishment was grounding.....oh how I loathed being grounded!  We argued about everything!  I couldn't wait to get the hell out of my house....I left at 17 and never looked back!  Now, why would I want that same type of relationship with my own kids?  Who needs that?
