You have a teenager who desperately wants to separate...If you don't have a career, these New Domesticity types are likely to find themselves standing in the kitchen with all these domestic skills and no outlet for them, no way to earn a living...

They don't feel you've done them a big favor; they say, "Why didn't she ever grow up and take responsibility for her own life?"

Any dogs or cats in sight?
Ann Turner
