Swede Hon, I grew up with 5 brothers, Yep Mom had 6 of us in just under 7 years. It's a wonder Mom has any hair left. Any way reading your post I couldn't help but think of my Dad. He always had a way of making us realise our short comings and not really losing his cool. He'd say, son you're gonna scrape your ass and then sit back and watch for it. Then he'd dust us off, all the while reminding us he'd given us hints. Now I know with girls it's a bit different but try to let her know you were young once and you can save her a lot of scrapes and make things easier if she'll only listen. Even then youth has a way of allowing her to think she knows better. All you can really do is let her know you'll be there to defend her if she's right and save her but remind her of her wrongs if she's not. My own daughter is soon to be 15 so my rollercoaster is just beginning. I try to mix little lessons in our banter. Use laughter to cover concerns when I can. Mostly I just pray she'll have half as good an example as I did. Huggggs Hon, hang in there, they're worth every tear and scream. (Of course you know that, you just needed to vent some)
