I am very like my parents, and yet my daughter is very different from me. This makes it very hard to parent. Does anyone know a good book to read about it?
She is indomitable, with a will of iron (think Bart Simpson) -a phenomenon I think is fairly recent in girls.
I was a bookish goody-goody, now a wooly liberal; this seems to be a hopeless combination. Do I have to change into an authoritarian - cases where I have seen this done seem equally disastrous as in a matter-antimatter collision. Or is it just because I think she takes after my ex? Our relationship makes me and therefore probably her fairly miserable (not just since she was a teenager - twas ever thus).
Anyone have any suggestions?
