Normally I really try to let things roll off that my kids say to me to intentionally hurt my feelings. I am having a hard time with letting this one go...
Stephanie says to me:
"You are just like Grandma: You brag about everything everyone else does so that YOU can take the credit and make yourself look better."
Nice.
She is sixteen. She is good at a lot of things, but she is really good at being sixteen.
We are planning on taking family pictures tonight for Mother's day.
I am not sure that I will feel like posting any, due to the fact that I don't want my daughter to think I am exploiting her credit for being so beautiful!

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience. "

About Me
- Michelle S.
- Almost everything interests me. I love quilting, photography and creating almost anything. I love colors, textures and very visual things. I love my children and have a hard time letting them stop being my babies. I love my husband and wish that we could run away to a tropical island together. (NOT Jamaica.) I also LOVE soccer! And, I worry about almost everything. I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ and I know he will return to this earth again someday.
Margaret D. Nadauld, former Young Women general president:
“Women of God can never be like women of the world.
The world has enough women who are tough;
we need women who are tender.
There are enough women who are coarse;
we need women who are kind.
… We have enough women of fame and fortune;
we need more women of faith”
(“The Joy of Womanhood,” Liahona, Jan. 2001, 18; Ensign, Nov. 2000, 15).

Oh man....I SO don't want teenagers!!
Note to self, Must waterproof back in preparation for teenagers. +
I must be missing something, because that statement doesn't seem too offensive, you have a GREAT mom, I wanna be more like her. And heck yeah, your kids accomplishments, or lack of reflect on parenting skills and there by YOU. Someday Stephanie will understand that.
LOL!~ Dontcha just love the 16 year olds? What does that even mean? And was she comparing you to our MIL? I, for one, would be offended! So, in the family pictures will you have that one smile you have? The mad one? I will be able to tell! I miss you sister! So much!
one more thing... who does she think made her beautiful???
Yeah, she was talking about our (Kim's and my) MIL.
Sorry Suzie, she wasn't talking about MY mom.
Shauna~ thanks for the kind words. I know that someday her common sense will return. I know that I was missing mine when I was her age, and it mostly did finally come back.
