old article ... but time to put down the guilt about mommy's having their own lives. we wonder why kids never grow up and are self-centered and expect everything to be handed to them. maybe it's because we cater to them completely for fear of being labeled a 'bad mom.' we grew up without those things and (i like to think) are doing better than this next generation.
