[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your child was significantly upset by seeing a photo of someone's middle finger?  That doesn't sound normal to me.  I'd venture to say you may be veering over into the "too sheltered" department, which often doesn't end well either.  It's all about balance. [/quote]

I curse like a sailor and DD is allowed to yell whatever curse word she wants as loud as she wants, each year on her birthday. Aside from that she dropped one "bullshit" and that's it for cursing for her. It was a girl she got into an argument with, and I think part of her upset was thinking that girl would work with her towards resolving it, rather than enflaming by posting a middle finger with a very angry face.

I think her way of rebelling against me is by being very "good." [/quote]
Watch out. She may be rebelling by being good, or creating the illusion of goodness to give herself space and freedom....  Maybe not yet, but it is amazing how much you can get away with when your parents think you are a prude and a priss.
