[quote=Anonymous]Hey everybody!!
My relationship with my now 35 year old DD has always been a struggle. We are quite different in so many ways and you know, sometimes I just flat out dislike her. She reminds my DH and I of his mother...she looks like her and is a downer just like her. I take pride in the fact that I am always upbeat...my own siblings tease me that Im a Pollyanna...which in a some ways I guess I am...I just dont see the point in getting upset about too much when theres so many fun things to enjoy...gardening, playing with the grandkids, helping out my family whenever I can. DD is quite the opposite of me. Shes a therapist/social worker and so shes really in to the whole look at the grim side of life thing...

Anyways, latest scuffle was that she texted me that she and her husband bought a piano and she was excited about it. In jest, I texted back "who's it for? The kids? Does DH have musical talent on his side of the family because it sure aint on ours!!!"

She texted back "you know, a simple its beautiful, look forward to seeing it would have sufficed..."

I told her I was just kidding and that I wish I had taken piano lessons when I was a kid and that I would love it if one of my grandkids played piano"

For those of you with upbeat sunshiny dispositions who have offspring that are kind of well...a drag, do you ever just feel like giving up? I wish DD would just stop being such a stick in the mud and lighten up..life is too short...
