She's FOUR.

Dear she-whos-name-shall-not-be-spoken

She is not a witch, she is not a bitch, she is not manipulative, she is not driving me crazy, she is not the devil. SHE IS FOUR.

She is my daughter who I am raising to be herself. I don't want to quash her into submission. I want her to think about who she is and who she wants to be. I don't want her to just follow someone into trouble just because she isn't allowed to say no. I want her to be happy with herself and free to express an opinion. Just because that opinion isn't mine or isn't yours does not mean that it is not a valid opinion.

You have had your chance with your three children and now leave me alone to raise mine. I am NOT like you. I actually like being their Mom. I don't want to short change them because they are not perfect. I am not a perfect mom why would I expect them to be perfect chldren?

She is four. She is becoming more independant. She is four. She is trying to figure out this world and her place in it. She is four. She just needs to be loved and taught, not put down and made to feel worthless.

She is not a witch, she is just four.

signed your very ungrateful Grandaughter.
