[QUOTE="Lil, post: 645651, member: 17309"] I don't know if it helps anyone, but a friend of mine who has one of those "perfect" 18 year old daughters told me just the other day that her daughter (still in high school) wanted to go to a party in a town 2 hours away with a boy she knows. There were apparently a lot of kids going. Her mom didn't tell her no, but did tell her she'd go to, and get a hotel, and then her daughter could stay with her. The daughter wanted to stay at the boys house. Much shouting and screaming and "You ruin everything, I hate you!" later...Mom said, "Fine. You aren't going at all." Her daughter now isn't speaking to her. My friend was in tears telling me about it, how much she was hurt by what her daughter said. I guess my point is: Even perfect children hurt their parents. I think that for us, it's just more frequent, and combined with other things, but being a parent just always hurts sometimes. [/QUOTE]
