Like pulling teeth…….


Clothes shopping with teenage girls. I can’t think of anything worse to do but that’s what I’m doing today. DD14 and my friend’s 14yr grand-daughter who stayed the night with us want to go shopping.

The last time I took DD14 shopping for clothes, by the end of the day I was looking for a dark, quiet corner so I could curl up fetal position-like, rocking back and forth, mumbling to myself…………OK, it wasn’t that bad…LOL…but it was quite painful. DD14 is VERY fussy and I have learnt that when she asks me if I like a particular item, and I say yes, she doesn’t like it because it mustn’t be cool if mum likes it! *rolling eyes* I’m waiting for the time in life where my DD stops rebelling against me and becomes my friend!

Anyhoo, back to shopping today. I think I might just take a book with me, stop at my fav coffee shop in the shopping centre and wait there while the girls shop. They can come and find me when they are done!
