It's been a while since I was a teenager (I'll be 28 this year) but I remember it so well - I really believed that my mum didnt understand and didnt care how much I loved this boy (who turned out to be a complete waste of space)* It's took me a while to realise that it's because she understood and cared so much that she acted the way she did. Now I'm a mother and even though my girls have quite a few years to go (ages 4 and 1) I hope that when they are teenagers I am as good a mum to them as mine is to me. Sorry I'm rambling nowbut what I'm trying to say is that my mum made sacrifices for me, as you have done for your daughter and it's not until I got out of that selfish teenage phase that I really appreciated what it meant. You sound like a wonderful mummy! xxx
