I'm doing my best to parent the Brazenette. I make decisions about what's in her best interest, because I am her mother, because I love her to distraction, because I know her better than any other living person. Sometimes I make good decisions and sometimes I make bad decisions. But the bottom line is, as her parent, those decisions are mine to make. It is my obligation, my burden and my joy. And I rankle at the idea that anyone other than me knows better what decision I should have made...
