LOL!! I've been there and my children have taught me well about those boundaries that are not eternal in nature. My oldest son taught all the rest how to dress in winter, LOL!!

Brought back memories.<br /><br />My oldest is getting married next month, and I am entering a new phase of letting some *Mom things* go. Learning how to evolve into a *new* relationship with my son, who is now also going to be a husband. The Lord has been so very good - my future daughter-in-law and I get along great and love spending time together. It's made the letting go easier.<br /><br />Do you think they'd mind if I still told them once in awhile to put on a coat?<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-58357092479499956962013-10-23T17:45:43.799-05:002013-10-23T17:45:43.799-05:00LOL!

She sounds like a pre-teen or around 13...am I right? I think you handled it perfectly. Sometimes we just have to drop the Mom thing and let our kids learn on their own...and they will - guaranteed!<br /> Joan Davis (Jo)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02305888520649862063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-41625962034878381722013-10-23T17:22:27.114-05:002013-10-23T17:22:27.114-05:00Made me smile.

In reality, she was cold, but that 'ole independence she's wanting is overriding being cold. We definitely have to pick and choose our battles with our kids. This is one she most likely won't repeat, especially as it gets colder out!<br />Blessing, Ann<br />http://christintheclouds.blogspot.com/cairncottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205290020671696920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-43093552430148760422013-10-23T07:04:39.981-05:002013-10-23T07:04:39.981-05:00Hilarious!

I admire your determination in not nagging her and in deciding beforehand that you wouldn't bring her a coat even if the school called! Often we try to protect our kids too much when the actual lesson will teach them more than we ever could with our words.

I have boys and they can stretch boundaries until it it as thin as a spider's web with usually me giving in all the time for the not so important issues. But important ones like showing respect, not gossiping, helping elderly, treating other kids kindly and so forth, were punishable in my house with a good dose of cleaning the behind with rid. But, they were so clever, they would then wear two underpants and line the inside one with cotton wool! And the oldest told the youngest to try out screaming a litlle pig after the firt hiding then I might feel sorry for them!!<br />Blessings XX<br />MiaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02765891733244054084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3858846619214172647.post-61456990279985959932013-10-21T22:26:11.892-05:002013-10-21T22:26:11.892-05:00Laughing at the end!
