I remember the 1st time DS told me this and now it's DD's turn.

She told me yesterday "You are not my best friend mommy!"

It made me think of this that I found a few years ago and just saved in my folder - I love it!

In case you cant read it:

I am not your friend
I am your parent
I will stalk you
Flip out on you
Lecture You
Drive you insane
Be your worst nightmare
And hunt you down when needed
Because I love you!

When you understand that
I will know that you are a responsible adult
You will never find someone loves, prays, cares
And worries about you more than me.
This is my promise to you.
