To my Daughter

Arggggghhhhhh....4 months plus into discovering a new roller coaster life of a teenager...I am still wobbling and wobbling like 'jelly in my plate'...

The 'ugly truth' of tsunami I've heard from friends earlier really hit me...now she is a 'big girl' with 'big head'...Mommy is no longer a priority in her life....

Sob, sob...it started off with happily wiggling while engrossing the chatting columns of fb, ignoring the surroundings...all in her own world...towards the extent deleting 'own mommy' from fb list...

Worse part yet to crash...the choice of vulgar and obscene words with friends really make mommy's heart sank...

Then come Justin Bieber concert...another sullen face...

Now, from timid and quiet girl has asked mommy for the 'slumber party' night...yet another stormy battle...

Well, mommy has done a lot of thinkings lately and understands the needs of having your space. Anyway, everything comes with a price...

Since I had allowed you to open a fb account (although not eligible), it is not fair to chunk it off. So, it has to be really transparent like mommy can access yr fb anytime and I have to be your fb friend. No compromise.

It is also a mistake to let you have ipod freely, so from now onwards, ipod must be in mommy's custody and you are only allowed to have it during long school break.

Vulgar and obscene words or gestures...you must really be extra careful not to get yourself in trouble. Next time, please clarify and let mommy screen first.

Concert...it is not our custom to attend one. Please remember although mommy knows how dissapointed you are...

Slumber party and so on is a big NO, NO...period...

Hahaha...now mommy feel better. Though at times I really feel guilty especially few days during the withdrawal period (when you reluctantly surrendered the ipod).
