My Daughter
My oldest daughter turned 16 right before Christmas. She has grown up so fast I can hardly believe it. She is beautiful. I have such a hard time with her though. It is not that she gets into trouble because she doesn't. She does pretty good in school and has alot of friends. She goes out with her friends to dinner and the movies and to high school games. She plays soccer at a pretty high level so that is very time consuming as well. The problem is that I miss her! When I drive her to soccer practice and games, she either has the radio blaring because her friend is with us or she is texting on her phone. When she comes home she is on the computer or in her room getting things ready for school or doing homework. I get angry with her because I feel like I do not know her anymore. My husband feels the same way. It seems like we never get to talk to her and when we do she seems too busy for us. She is very independent but also still seems so young and naive. I really miss her. How do I get her back?
