[quote=Anonymous]I think too often we don't realize how negative and critical our tone is. She loves her mama so much and is likely perceiving criticism and nagging as " you're not ok". The snark is hard to take, but try and ignore much of it. I run a tape in my head when the snark comes out that reminds me " she's passing they a difficult phase now and HAS to start questioning my authority in order to do the hard work of separating and growing up." I draw the line at more blTant forms of disrespect though. And when they start telling you thT you're a terrible mom because you didn't wash the dance leotard before class, invite them to laundry 101 class! [/quote]
