I am going to be up there this week, so it isn't like she would have had to wait long.
I guess it just frustrates me because she lives her life in regret. And I can't tell you how many times she has failed to consider my opinion and then regretted it. I've heard her say " I know, You were right" more times than I can count. Mostly it's in financial things. But I guess as a parent you never want to consider the fact that your kid may just have a valid point. I'm not saying that I'm always right, and I know as Lisa said- the table could be turned. I guess it could be said that as a kid I haven't always listened to her either. But I was just hoping for once that she would wait for me so that I could have helped her pick out a bike that is suitable.
I hope I'm wrong and that when I get up there the bike is fine. I also hope that she likes riding as much as I do. And god knows that after 38 years I know there is no way I can change her. Heck I've given up trying. The bike thing was her idea.
