Thank you, thank you, thank you! This nearly brought tears to my eyes. A friend of mine shared this with me as I am constantly conflicted over my Type A personality. It controls my parenting style that consequently has me up as front runner for mother of the year, annually. :-( Your entry was just perfect and reminds me just how unfair my demanding, hurried ways is to my beautiful daughter. I, too, have heard words stream from my older daughter's mouth that sound so harsh and demanding, only to realize it's me who has provided such repulsive modeling for such. I MUST slow down! Thank you again for sharing your story and inspiring me to be a better mom!

I show my love to them by not eating them. I have been a vegetarian most of my life. I wish all people who "love animals" would do the same.
