Lol, that would be tough, especially once they realize how much power they gain over you at the age of 18

I'm glad you're doing that. That's a great idea. I think my 22 year old daughter would think I was nuts.

A few months ago I also happened to realize I hadn’t heard anyone say “it’s a free country” in ages, even though growing up in the 80’s I remember hearing it and saying it constantly. This has motivated me to say it whenever my kids are bickering and I’m being forced to mediate. It also provides a nice opening to explain what it means. Thank you for another great post,
