Be the Cool Tween Mom She Always Wanted
When I was a tween, I really hated my Mom. She was such a nagger and she never seemed to leave me. She was always telling me what I should do and who I should go out with. She was such a pain in the ass. Because I could not stand her, I shut her out of my life. I ignored her for 5 years, speaking only when needed. I knew this really broke her heart but I could not help it. I was really mad at her that time. I promised myself that when I become a mother I would never be like her. I would talk to my daughter and I would be her best friend. And now that I finally have a daughter, I realized raising one is not as easy as I thought it would be. Just like the younger version of me, my daughter was also very private. And just like what I did years ago, she shut me out of her life. But unlike my Mom, I would not allow this to happen. I did not want to be a stranger to my own daughter for 5 years or more, I wanted to get to know her. I wanted to be her best friend just like I promised myself years ago. I wanted to be her cool Tween Mom. So, I searched for solutions. I found it in a magazine. It really helped me gain back my daughter’s trust. Now, we are like bread and butter, inseparable.
