“Someday I would love to be your friend but now I need to be a Mother to you” was one of the hardest things I told my daughter. I love being with her. I see myself in her. She makes me laugh and I admire her self confidence. It’s hard to rep-remand her. It’s hard to look her in the eye and tell her she can’t do something. I have too, I’m her mother. She has lots of friends but only one mother. It is my job to raise her to be a functioning adult. If I can do that and supply her with all the skills, insight and education she needs. Plus a smathering of self confidence and grace, I know I have done a good job. Then hopefully, someday I will be her best friend.
