Rebelling isn't a bad thing... and I grew up in the most loving and conservative house. I sang in choir in church and volunteered in nursing homes and at soup kitchens.... and I was the first to rebel in my family... and my mom thanks me for it now, because I made her so much less anal. I mean it took years and year and purple and green and blue hair. But now, here I am, so normal (welll... normal as in not a total wacko)
Not to say your granddaughter will, jsut saying that rebelling is natural, and can be healthy in good families. Weird to say.. and to think about now. Wow... I must have given my mother heart attacks...
> About my weight loss. After I had the renal cell cancer, and had my kidney removed, I got anxiety and depression, that so stunk, but I thought I could make those feelings go away with food. Then when I realized what I was doing to myself, I flipped and went in the other direction. I figured that no one poked that food down my throat, so it is my resposibility to lose the weight, and I still have the anxiety and depression. Go figure.

> About my granddaughter. There will never be a time when my granddaughter gets excessive piercings, and weird hair dyings, and dating guys named Weed. That doesn't happen in our family. LOL. See, we have this theory that it's about teaching a child the proper values, and such, and so far it's worked with my other grandchildren. I guess it must be luck.
