[quote=Anonymous]Are you sure you're not me?! I could have written your post, except I only have 2 girls. I'm constantly questioning whether I'm close enough to them, spending enough quality time with them, and whether I'm doing the right thing by continuing to work. Our situation is nearly identical to yours in terms of earnings and goals to aggressively save for college and retirement. Anyhow, it sounds like you're a great mom, and I think the PPs' advice is spot on. Make some one on one time with your daughter to strengthen that relationship. I also agree with the PP who said not to tolerate the public dissing of mom. I try to regularly remind my daughters that we need to be good to those we love...and sometimes I need to remind them that I have feelings too and that it's not ok for them to be intentionally hurtful to anyone, much less a family member.
