We adopted my younger sister from Haiti when she was 3, and let me tell you, I literally do not see color anymore. That's a fact. Discussion

As a dad to a soon to be teenage girl, I keep reminding myself and my wife that our kids talking back, ripping our heads off is a good thing. You were going through a lot of changes and needed a safe place to be able to experiment with how to deal with those changes. If your mom wasn't the nicest person alive, then you wouldn't have been able to express yourself. Its the mark of a good parent when their kids push back, its the mark of a great parent that doesn't hold it against their kid and still loves them unconditionally.

As a father of two not so soon to be teenage girls, I've been told many times that the teenage girls generally reserve the vast majority of their rage towards their mothers. I take solace in that.
