Thanks for the great suggestion. I'm always on the look-out for someone who re-affirms the course I'd "like" to be on. I can't admit to always being (and staying) on course as a parent. But, it sounds like this is a good one. I'll check it out - thanks. Myrna´s last blog post..MTV - Adjusting It’s Image

I love the apparent emphasis placed on the respect for the relationship. I will find that book and give it a read. When wrapped up in the daily to-do lists, it can be hard to remember to simply stop, listen and love. mariposa´s last blog post..a minute at a time

Was it your blog that I commented on recently saying raising kids is a lot like raising puppies? If it wasn't, there, I said it! Sandy´s last blog post..Food for Thought----Pan-Roasted Salmon and Tomatoes

I dig it. My mom never read that book, but that's exactly how our relationship always has been - I can honestly say she is my very best friend. Yet, my brother and I are 1 year apart, were raised exactly the same way by the same woman - and he is as distant from her as can be. So.... I dunno.... My step-mom, on the other hand, tries to be that way with her teenagers - but I think she crosses the line with being TOO much of a cool friend and not enough of a good mom....
