[quote=Anonymous]Did she feel too much pressure? My kids can be, er, "frank" with me, but usually it's more upstream, in the planning stages, and they say it without snapping. I would see it as a communication failure if either of us snapped once plans had been drawn. From your description, it seems to me that you may not have fostered a culture of open communication with your children. You need to ask in advance whether she has the time to do what you want her to do... not at the last-minute. And she needs to learn to speak her mind with you without getting to the point where emotions run high and she snaps. Perhaps you haven't encouraged her to speak up, and you've always expected automatic compliance? Anyway. It's one little comment. I would let it slide. [/quote]
