I still feel guilty if I go do something fun before doing some dreaded household chore like mowing the yard or laundry.

You are talking about me when I was in my early teens. I got the same tharapy as you.lol

All totally age appropriate perspectives, especially for someone as gifted and talented as you! I would have attempted tp channel them and been careful not to extinguish the very important positive components. Failing to channel them effectively, well then maybe time for an alternate form of therapy.

fine, but some of these would actually be reasonable things to say or think if phrased just slightly differently . . . like, reasonable people can wear rubber boots in the rain but you *can* wear other footwear in the rain too! and rolling eyes never hurt anyone! and, like, *sometimes* music should be listed to at a high volume

Seems like pretty typical attitudes at that age. Good your mother was diligent.

Tipical beleifs for all .. .. from time to time ..

Having raised one teenage girl and currently having two teenage girls (and one pre-teen) in the house, a large part of that list appears very well known to me...

And may I ask, out of pure inquisitivness . . . .are you now rid of these attitudes or do you need correcting from time to time ? :)

This is a list that could apply to very many 13 year old girls.

so well put... and yes... you had a good mom

nice

Your posts are quite intriguing. 🙂
