[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 382926, member: 1514"] Its very hard to parent..gosh its hard...lol. I think Dads want to fix things while moms are so emotionally attached. Now I am not an expert on daughters considering I dont have any and my grands are just itty bitty girls right now but I can see how the questioning looks get into their eyes when they dont get why one gets treated differently than the other. You should just see the looks of disbelief in Keyana's eyes at some of the antics Hailie gets away with...lol. She just knows what it would get her tiny lil butt! I have seen her look from us to Hailie's parents and back again like she is just shocked. I give my "mommy face"...lol. Thank heavens for a easy child! I think you have a basic typical teen in your older daughter. All mid teens are aliens. I remember wanting to lock Jamie up somewhere until I could live with him again around that time. He was just hard to live with and he was a really good kid. Totally normal but irritating as hell. I think I wanted to kill him at least twice a week! LOL. J/K! You will live through this and in the not so distant future your dtr will emerge as a wonderful young woman who will adore you again. Just think, someday down the line she will come complaining to you about her teenager and you can smile knowingly. [/QUOTE]
