(which is very different than parenting newborns who are all cute and snuggly and love you, while adolescents are smart-alecky and like to push your buttons, and like to try on all kinds of pesonalities as they try to figure out who they are - but they need solid wise parents to know just when to push back or when to laugh it off, when to stand solid and clear, and when to allow for some fuzziness)....fun, thoughtful play.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15667178624061122421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13814531.post-30215796718306535272007-06-29T13:23:00.000-05:002007-06-29T13:23:00.000-05:00Yeah, I'm a mixed bag on question #2 as well... :)...Yeah, I'm a mixed bag on question #2 as well... :)<BR/><BR/>fun answers! <BR/>dDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077252518911858612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13814531.post-30153073615865060652007-06-29T09:04:00.000-05:002007-06-29T09:04:00.000-05:00Lovin' your answer to number 2.
