Jennifer...
thank you.I 
never spoke to adults like my 
12 1/2 year old speaks to me 
and  other adults.
I was not some nicey-nice girl; I just knew better.
And, not for nothing, it isn't just my kid; I work around the block from the middle school; plus a few years ago, I was a crossing guard for the same middle school.
ICK!!! ADOLESCENCE

I love my daughter enough to not spoil her

Patti, who couldn't possibly afford therapy!
