Heh! Super mommy defeats the Dementors between eyeliner and mascara! Of course, I could barely see the computer screen I've gotten so decript since the last time I played.

I'm not quite sure about the Dementors, but I'm glad you defeated them for her. :D

You are a great friend, mother & person.

It's the HP & the Prisoner of Azkban game...she has trouble with the Dementors...they sneak up on her.

I am blessed to have good friends that happen to make me look good.

*hugs*

From what I've heard...I'm gonna say you are doing better in the parental scale than at least 75% of general populace. And that's without ever having met you or that amazing kid of yours. I bet you're closer to the 90th percentile in totality. Which makes you good enough to avoid the book deal, but not so perfect that she'll hate you later on. ;)

Heh. I'll be satisfied if we make it through the teen years without her killing me in my sleep.

I can't say anything about the desire...but the will shall never arise. We have alllllll experienced the desire, no matter how saintly (or because of it) our mothers have been. It's just a rigte of passage.

Of course, that's also why they make teenagers so intolerable...to make you WANT to push them out of the nest. ;)
