So I decided that being smart and fun would get me friends, too, and being pretty didn't matter. Then I went way overboard with lack of fashion, a sort of grunge look decades before grunge was in, etc. Now I have a daughter who really cares about her clothes and looks, at two she laid on the floor in JCP crying because I was going to buy her a dress she didn't like. And I have a son who doesn't care if he even combs his hair in the morning, or wears the same clothes for a week. Finding a balance can be difficult.Carol Sahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207133242168939508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-61737580060988248592008-08-25T08:23:00.000-05:002008-08-25T08:23:00.000-05:00I think you meant to say "No one is perfect" inste...I think you meant to say "No one is perfect" instead of important, Whirlwind. I know you think your daughters are important or you wouldn't take the time and energy to tell them they don't have to be perfect all the time. <BR/><BR/>Yay soccer - Ainsley's season starts today.Tracee Sioux, Sioux Ink: Soul Purpose Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511311972798310564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066901051112310981.post-75283227078125534512008-08-25T07:18:00.000-05:002008-08-25T07:18:00.000-05:00We like to point out to the girls that no one is i...We like to point out to the girls that no one is important and that it's okay. It's easier for them to grasp when we screw up. I hope they are learning that they can make mistakes and the the world doesn't stop.<BR/><BR/>I usually hear (because they play soccer) but I'm not good enough, o I didn't score a goal. We always tell them that its okay and we are happy as long as they are playing their best.Whirlwindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16865143484526708978noreply@blogger.com
