[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean, I think I’m very affectionate, but I have an almost 14 year old who still wants me to put her to bed every night. By which I mean, she wants me to read while she “does her skin care routine,” have protracted discussions about what to wear the next day and then endlessly chat about whatever until she gets sleepy. It is like a 45 minute ritual. And she is now old enough that this might start as late as 9:15 at which point I’m exhausted. So I sometimes say “no” and that upsets her quite a bit. But really, I deserve my own time sometimes. That said, I will be sad when this stops.[/quote] A teen who wants to talk to you? Who would ever turn that down?
