Anyone who has had a teenage daughter probably can relate. I am the adult, and I do exert my will in the situation, but it's more of an Attitude than an Action on her part. Clearly I opened myself up for judgement on this, and perhaps I'm not the perfect Teenager parent (hey anyone, let me know if there are classes-I have a 13, 16, and 17 year old-I;m at a loss everyday on how to deal) My kids are not out causing trouble, and for that I'm thankful. They are respectful to other adults at all times-something I have always felt very strongly about. Perhaps I have painted Alyssa in a bad light, which I did not mean to do. THis is practically the only conflict I have with Aly right now, which is more that I can say for most teenagers and their mother.
Anyway, I know what you mean, and thanks for reminding me to be the adult.
