I have to chime in and to let you know.........I have 2 girls and they are both OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sad part, neither of them took their mother (sorry dear). A couple of things I learned, never take sides ( no matter who is right), stick to your guns, don't argue with them (they say I can put a mule to shame with my stubbornness), discuss things, I can out yell you/them, but I also thanked them for doing their chores. When they got older, mom and the 2 rats turned into like siblings. Now that was fun. When "boy friends" showed up, you make an example out of one of them. Word get's around fast.
