Ah, yes... Kids tend to want to be independent before they really can be independent. It may be unpleasant for a while, but the time will fly by, and she will turn 18 rather quickly.
Oh, I know this year is going to fly, and then we'll wish we had it back. I also know it's going to be a battle.
We've given her quite a bit of freedom, but it seems the more we give the more she tries to take. Only child, you see.
I just can't wait to hear what hairbrained scheme she cooks up for spring break. She won't be 18 yet, so the answer is a preemptive NO!
