While I did not dare to mouth off or disobey my mama (seriously, things could go south in split seconds), I have two daughters who have mouthed off to me, disobeyed and deceived me. They both were told that "Someday, you will have a daughter who will challenge your knowledge and authority".
Now "the chickens have come home to roost".
I feel your pain.
Now, I smile when my daughter unloads on me about battles fought, won or lost. She knows why I smile, and has said the same sentence I said some 25 years ago.
Ah, life is good.
