I don't know. I like the fact that DD sets her own priorities, but I just want her to have choices when she's older, and not be trapped by her unwillingness to conform when it's beneficial to her. It's hard... if only we had crystal balls to see where they'll all be down the road. Parenting can be so hard!!
