Isn't it nice to see reflected back to us how our parenting styles are
being passed down to the next generation.  I hope that they will feel less
conflict when doing what FEELS right because they saw their parents do it,
too. My 13 year old daughter will give me a look of horror if we're in a
grocery store and somebody is being unnecessarily harsh with a young child.
 She also reminds me (as I have with her) when I'm losing my temper at
times with my 2 year old, "Mom, he's only a baby!"  Little children love
her.  She's a real natural with them, having helped mother two boys. She's
also much more comfortable with her breasts and body in general than I was
at that age, having watched me nursing so much.
