Dear triple D.
by intersurfa
Think pendulum. When your daughter was young, say between 1 and 12, she was a delight. No? Moments of pure joy. However, the universe being what it is, there must be a counterreaction. For girls, it's their teenage years, and maybe beyond (see Dear Mofo). Unfortunately something happens to teenage brains that causes them to be scrambled. What, exactly, reaserch hasn't proven yet, but that it's a hardware problem, not your programming, has been established without a benefit of a doubt. At this point, she's going to make you pay in frustration currency for every dustbunny collected. You can alienate them, or you can go with the flo, I think. If someone does provide you with the magic solution, please do report back on this forum, in capital letters please because I still have my teenage ADD.
