Yesterday, she pulled me aside to admonish me for embarrassing her in public, by calling her "sweetheart"!!! The nerve? She has agreed to let me call her in that in private, but certainly not where anyone else could hear.
Honestly, I'm not sure where my darling daughter went, and when she'll return. My husband told me she wouldn't let him hold her hand anymore. I told her that I know that it's normal for kids to be embarrassed by their parents. But, I don't think she should be so worried about what others think.
I'm frankly not sure if I should alter my behavior or just let her be embarrassed. Something tells me, it will only get worse from here!
I was really distraught about the whole thing, until I read a cute article online.
