That strong-willed child will grow up with a strong sense of self. He/She won’t be swayed by the ideas and suggestions of others. Those hard days are worth it. Hang on! All the things that seem negative now become positive later. Mine is 18 now and headed to college next fall (with a magnificent scholarship!).

Gold. I have one too. I love his spunk. I know he will be great one day. I’m proud to be his mum and I only want to do a good job to deserve him.

So beautifully said. I know these battles. I have fought them for 18 years now. This brought tears to my eyes. For i love her no matter what. That is motherhood.

In reply to Jessica. Oh girl, I'm sorry! I just had an unnerving public battle and I'm all unraveled. Let me think about that.

Any tips to get to this point? I’m 7 months pregnant with a 4 yr old and 2 yr old. The 4 yr old is easier but the 2 yr old gives me grief daily lately. I want to accept her for who she is but the constant battle is getting discouraging.

Mine is 15 and we are still in the thick of it. To be fair, there was a lovely reprieve in the middle, so perhaps we’re BACK in the thick of it. Haven’t quite survived yet, but for the sake of all who are involved, I will fight until we make it. Pondering how to write the teenage version of this post. I need him to know that I would choose him again and again – not sure he feels that way right now.Thanks for taking me back to the stage of eating a slice of bread on the counter. Just had an image flash of me trying to carry his 150 lb self up the stairs these days. 😉

Being five months pregnant and having a 1.5 year old running around, this has made me cry. It is so true. My son is so strong willed and I know he will soon be just as your daughter is. I try to imagine having two and that makes me think I’m crazy! But you are absolutely correct; they are pure love. And they will turn that passion into something amazing someday. Thank you for this! I definitely needed it today.

You are an exemplary parent who is blessed with an exemplary child. Just wait until they grow. They will surprise and honor you in ways you never imagined. They will be in charge of their destinies, have an inner strength that sustains a commitment beyond belief. They’ll be accomplished, attractive, powerful adults. Just wait.
