You know you have a daughter when:

<p>Back to daughters…what’s wrong with mine? </p>

<p>On our last FORCED shopping trip, she exclaims…“Don’t buy those leather sneakers…I have two pairs back at school anyway…no need for anymore.”(last pair purchased in 2004)</p>

<p>conditioner and shampoo? why not be streamlined and have 2 in 1 so its easier to take back and forth to school.</p>

<p>jewelry roll? I only wear one necklace and one pair of dangly earrings that I carry in a small cardboard box with a rubber band around it.</p>

<p>clothing for one week home for spring break??? can be carried in an overnight bag 12 inches wide, 6 inches deep, and 18 inches long. All you need are jeans, two tee shirts, and 8 pairs of underwear…the extra pair is for good luck!</p>

<p>Where have I gone wrong?</p>

82

<p>you must need another daughter.
My oldest likes jeans and tshirts- doesn’t shine her shoes ( poor thing has to shop in the childrens dept for shoes but doesn’t really care), washes her hair and lets me cut it- but doesn’t bother her if she wears glasses or contacts- glasses are so much easier-
For years she wore a down jacket in winter that used to be mine, until i finally got her one that was better looking for xmas.</p>

<p>Her sister on the other hand wanted Vogue magazine for Xmas, has an assortment of accessories, shoes ,scarfs , belts. Gets many catalogs, especially likes Alloy and Swell. even has fashionable underwear ( although I drew the line at thongs)
Thats my kinda girl ;)</p>

<p>That is so cute! Each daughter is unique, I suppose!!! Good luck to you…you’re very lucky to have one of each kind!!!</p>

84

<p>btw…at 56 1/2 yrs of age, having another daughter will have to take a back seat for awhile!!! (grinning from ear to ear)</p>

<p>sgiovinc1, nothing wrong with your daughter, she’s what I would call normal. I’m a college student while my younger sister is still in high school, we’re total opposites, I’m like your daughter and she is not. I think there’s nothing wrong with jeans and baggy t-shirts, my sister is like emeraldkitty’s daughter, down to the fashionable underwear. I mentioned to my sister that I hadn’t gotten around to showering for 2 days because I was with a friend at the hospital, my sister told me that’s why they invented perfume. When I told her I didn’t have any she termed this a fragrance emergency. I calmly said good-bye and went back to dealing with the issues at hand. My sister is now planning to send me perfume. I guess different people just have different styles.</p>

86

<p>you know you have a daughter when she wears the brand name make-up while you are shopping at Sav-On to buy yours.</p>

87

<p>People: if you have not figured out why the long showers I think you are not using your imaginations… Cleaning is a secondary reason to take a shower.</p>

<p>Yep, that’s right.</p>

88

<p>^sbmom</p>

<p>“Boy” am I glad I have a sister (and am one!)
:)</p>

89

<p>SBMom. I had been successfully blocking that thought until now…</p>

90

<p>My Ds went to a retreat for a weekend with their middle school classes…during the entire weekend, the girls didn’t shower, wash their hair or put on any make up (okay two mall rat girls did, but the rest coulnd’t have been botherered) didn’t really care…the boys on the other hand, showered all the time…hmmmmmmmmmmmmm…my Ds both wondered about that</p>

91

<p>:) I know…</p>

92

<p>You know you didn’t get lucky and don’t have a daughter when:</p>

<p>Your brain goes gooey at the sight of pink frilly outfits. Oooohhh, I never got to buy those!</p>

<p>You have teenagers who stop and look in the mirro…r to check the size of their muscles, not their outfits.</p>

<p>Your teenager has a leopard print g-string… that he wears to fancy dress parties–OVER his jeans.</p>

<p>You accept the Inner Slacker within your teen.</p>

93

<p>You are accustomed to your child eating a second dinner at 10:30 pm.</p>

<p>You have to email your child to get his attention, though you are in the next room.</p>

<p>There are pages from the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue on your child’s bedroom wall.</p>

<p>You get NO gossip about who is going out with whom!</p>

94

<p>SBmom- my son will tell you he doesn’t need to tell you who is going out with who since you probably already know since all the Mom’s talk.</p>
