[QUOTE="jbrain, post: 86256, member: 3450"] I was sort of thinking along these lines this morning. I realized that difficult child 1 (now 19 1/2) actually might have picked up on more than I realized. She called the other day and wanted to know how much it would cost to stay at the cabins we stay at in the Adirondacks. She would like to go with boyfriend for a weekend and enjoy the peace and quiet. She also wanted to know the name of the instructor that my husband and I used to take swing dance lessons from--she and boyfriend think it would be a healthy thing for their relationship to learn to dance together! What?! She used to think husband and I were really lame with the dancing. I guess what I realized is that difficult child 1 may be realizing she actually likes the way she was brought up--in a stable, loving family who did healthy things. When she was younger she acted as if she was brought up in a white trash family and she certainly gravitated towards the lowest of the low. I couldn't figure out how she could reject the way she was brought up so thoroughly but finally just accepted it. Now I see glimmers that she may actually want to emulate us--holy cow! Jane [/QUOTE]
