“One of the best things you ever did as a parent for us — but really just for me, because I’m a girl and the boys aren’t — was something you didn’t do.”

By this time in our chat, I was really curious to know what I had not done that was so impactful.

The Bombshell about My Parenting Skills

Amira, my 19-year-old daughter, surprised me recently with a comment on my parenting skills. Usually I get negative feedback from her, but this time it was stellar approval.

And I was totally floored. Especially when she began by saying that it was probably unintentional on my part as a parenting maneuver.

Disclaimer: Amira and I couldn’t be more different. To give telling examples: She spends hours every day on her skin complexion and hair using a wide variety of products. (More on this in a future article.) I spend maybe 5 minutes on mine. Likewise, she’ll agonize literally for hours over what to wear to a grocery store. Me? Whatever I put on that morning.
