My daughter got her license a couple of weeks ago - I found myself routing for her if for no other reason, than that she was insufferable without it.
When I'm otherwise feeling a little vulnerable (all of the time lately), it's easy for my kids to make me feel like I'm doing nothing right. I think it's important, but difficult, to see your issues and their issues with you, as being separate, so every little thing that happens with them, doesn't impact your own self esteem.
My 16 year old daughter is alternately, companionable and appreciative, and seemingly the most selfish human being I know. It's tough not to feel like we're on the same seesaw.
