You're welcome. Thank you so much for your peeve post.

Jess,

Hopefully you have a ways to go before you have to really start worrying.

My relationship with my parents, I can't say its "unique" cause I don't know if it is, but it's different… we don't particularly treat each other as specifically "mum;dad;daughter", but like housemates and friends. They don't particularly set 'boundaries', as I know what's wrong and right, but if I do do wrong, then they will lecture a bit and put a few boundaries in. I suppose it depends on the child… I'm a very 'goody' kind of person lol.

Honestly I worry a bit about when I become a parent, whether I'll do a good job parenting and raising my child… eeee.

That did it for me – no more giving up to my daughter's request to spend more time with her…

Actually, I'm not always giving up… I do want her to grow up to be an independent person. It's getting better now. She knows when mommy is busy and can entertain herself for sometime.

This is a great eye-opening post. I have never had a child, but I was 13 when my half-brother was born. I changed diapers, had to watch him, and other unmentionable things. It's true that it isn't necessarily always about the little ones.

On a un-related note, I think Simonne (All Tips and Tricks) should do a spin-off of this post and say, "Cat Owners, It's Not Always About the Cats." And then in her post, she would say, "I'm sorry. I was mistaken."
