I wish my friend and I could go back to the way things were before we’d aired our true feelings about religion.
• If you missed Friday’s Care and Feeding column, read it here.I have one child, a daughter, “Annie,” currently a senior in high school. A few weeks ago she turned in her early decision application to the college of her dreams, many miles away from where we live. If she isn’t admitted there, she is poised to apply to a number of other schools, nearly all of them some distance from home. I’m excited for her and I wholeheartedly support her in her plans.
So it should come as no surprise that I don’t think there’s anything wrong with you. You love your daughter and you’re lucky enough to have a close relationship with her. And because you had a couple of decades worth of adult life under your belt before she came along, and your life got richer after she did, you are perhaps more anxious about what this next period will look like than a much younger mother—who has been waiting for a chance to spread her own wings—might be.
