"Yep. Luckily for me, I refused to let that happen. My mom and I didn't make our peace until I let things go a few years ago. I refuse to let her rattle my cage anymore. :) It's nice to live in peace with mom after so many years of war! When my kids passed me in judgement and wisdom; I decided it was time to be more "friend" than tyrant! They really didn't pass me; it was just the realization of "where I was" at their age and how much smarter they are than I was. Being friends has been such a blessing. Seriously. That time will come in your house too. In the meantime...do like schweetie did and "run for cover"!!" We do run for cover. We can't argue RATIONALLY and make any progress with the far superior female of the species, so we try to blend into the wood work, or go to our rooms, or leave the warzone<G>! As for the kids, you are right, I often look back to where I /we were at their age, and realize they have a better grasp of things and I don't freak out nearly as much as I expected that I would, which is a good feeling! " I refuse to let her rattle my cage anymore. :)" I try to not let ANYONE rattle my cage anymore. I realize I am in charge of my emotions and it is up to me to control them and not waste negative energy because of my reactions to others and their actions. I'm not perfect at letting things slide, but I am MUCH better now than in the past.. P
