Oh yeah, I understand. My son turned eight in the fall and it’s like a switch went off. The other day he said, “I’m in second grade, dude. Don’t talk to me like I’m in Kinder”. And for a moment, my mom’s voice flashed in my head saying something like “if you want to live to see third grade…” but I recovered.

Good luck. If you figure it out, please let me know.

I am a former attorney and one of my friends (another attorney) once told me, “you know we’re destined to raise attorneys, right?” I think she might be because she sounds just like your girl! Nice to meet you!

In reply to Whitney Lavender. Thanks Whit, I will keep fighting the good fight. No way am I letting that little stinker get the upper hand!

In reply to julie gardner. Julie, for the record. I WAS RIGHT. Thank goodness! Can you imagine if she was right? Yikes. See, my 12 year old boy never does it, he just blindly goes along with anything I say. Man, I love that kid. HAAA!

In reply to Jackie. I will pray for you right now Jackie. Ha! Oh my goodness, 3 girls, yeah, what am I saying. I was the youngest of 3 girls. I need to buy my mom some flowers the next time I see her, and a huge apology. Ha!

In reply to Missy. That is the thing I worry about most. Will she really outgrow it? AHH! I used to have a sweet lady tell me, "Well, she'll be a strong Christian woman one day." She knew what I was in for. Thanks for having me Missy, always a pleasure to hang on your side of the fence.

In reply to Kate F. (@katefineske). That does give me relief Kate. I'm glad I am not alone. I told her the other day that I wrote about her for Missy's blog and she was like, "Yeah, sure" No respect! Ha!

Oh Christina, this makes me feel for you…and giggle a bit. My oldest will argue with me about something until I’m blue in the face, and yes, sometimes in the end, I am left asking myself if I was at fault, or wrong, or whatever the situation may be. I am becoming more and more concerned as the days pass that my littlest one is going to be so much better at it though. No answers here, I just keep fighting the good fight. Good luck friend!

Okay but wait? Was she right?

I’m assuming that you were, in fact, the one who knew the correct schedule. Even though she’s a future lawyer and all, you’re still the adult. Nevertheless, I know ALL TOO WELL that instinct to start second-guessing yourself with your (too bright for his/her own good )child begins to question you.

So let me just admit this:

My son is now 14. And guess what? When we disagree on some fact, the little sucker is usually right now.

Hold me.

Are you sure you don’t have one of my girls there with you?

We have similar conversations like this at my house and I have been blessed/cursed with 3 daughters (16, 12, 10) and oh my. Kill me now.
