I just viewed my daughter's myspace. She left a message on her best friend's mother's myspace, "I love you, Mom! Happy New Year."

The message she left on mine? Well.........hmmmmm....oh yeah, that would be NONE!

Petty, I know, but that hurt(s) my feelings!

DO NOT DISTURB! (I'm on the pity pot!) :cry: sad

Well, I know it sounds weird, but, a lot of the time, teenagers feel closer to people that are outside of their family.

Don't feel too bad. When she gets older, she'll realize, yet again, that you are her family, and she'll come back. Trust me, it's kinda like a subconsious rebellion. I went through it (still am, but, I'm being weened off. LOL)

**sniff, sniff**

Thanks, guys............

You know..............I now know what my Mom meant by, "I hope some day you have a daughter just like you!"

Did she have to be JUST like me???

Obviously, she (my daughter) is still too young to know that it is all about me!

(although, come to think about it.........I've told her enough times!) huh

I used to HATE my stepdad...

But now that I am older I realize he is why I am the way I am....

He showed me the tough love I needed at the time.

Oh Whispers, it's tough. I think she probably didn't leave a message on yours because she assumed you already knew and that saying it wasn't necessary. Kids, they don't yet get that it is necessary flowerforyou flowerforyou You're her mom, she loves you and knows you love her.
