My five year-old daughter and her friend playing make-believe in the living room:
DAUGHTER: "Pretend I'm the mom, and you're the kid."
FRIEND: "And you're a teenager."
DAUGHTER: "Teenagers aren't moms!"
FRIEND: "Some of them are."
DAUGHTER: "Yeah, but I don't want to be a teenager mom."
Whew! Now that's a relief!
I’m with Jen. It’s difficult enough being a grown-up mom!
Now make sure you record that conversation and let her read it when she’s giving you grief about dating in the teen years!
Smart, smart girl. It’s hard enough to be a grown-up mom!
