Good luck, it gets much harder as they get older. Life will change significantly when she hit puberty.

My girls were easy to parent as young children, when the hit that time, look out!

Every day I look at my daughter and I think - she's so full of love for her Mommy and Daddy and so precious. Then I do the math. Let's see 13 - 6 = 7; 7 * 12 = 84... OK, I have 84 months until [SpikeLee] she hate me. She wants me dead[/Spike].

Its like death and taxes. Its coming. I know its coming. I know exactly what it is and exactly what to expect. But am I ready? Hell no.

There is no way to get ready. Just doo the best you can. All of them are different. I have 2 girls, they are 180 degrees from each other. Thankfully, both very sucessful.

This is not a good ad for your parenting skills. You might want to give it (this argument) up now. A good parent makes these transitions easy for their child. A not-so-good parent is surprised by them and sees them as a huge step. A good parent watches the transition in their child's older friends and the older children of their friends. Then it is not seen as a sudden change.

Oh wait, I'm probably young enough to be your daughter, so wtf would I know?

My daughters are long past that transition thankyouverymuch....

But hey, thanks for telling me how to parent my kids, I hope you take your own advice. It is not as easy as you make it out to be, but have at it...
