Not really Holly. I remember having to leave my easy going nature at the curb for a few years when my oldest DD turned about 12. Puberty kicks in early with girls nowadays. And really, she's just trying to figure out how to become independent. Not a bad thing of course; just a difficult one to figure out how to achieve it the right way.
