I'm sure it includes but goes much deeper than choices along the lines of what you put in and do with your body, which is always a source of mother-daughter conflict. Not as big as what you choose to do with your money.*hug back*
Do you ever feel like you have a hard time balancing (what seems to be) the competing ideas of "living your life as you see fit as an adult" versus "showing respect"? If so, how do you balance them? (I always feel like I have a hard time with this.)
My mother keeps telling people (including me) that at 25 I've never had my "wild time". You really think I'm the exception, that I'm the only 20-something in America who hasn't had their share of bad decisions and various.. less than legal behavior. The thing is, I just haven't told her about most of it. And I'm shy so I tend to give off the impression of innocence to anyone who hasn't learned better.
Peaches, I can't imagine what you do that your parents consider disrespectful?
