I believe my daughter and I have a great relationship. We have a simple understanding, we're both the boss. We come to decisions together and have a great time every minute we spend with each other. I have no limits (so far) because I rebelled to any restrictions my parents had and I'd expect the same from my child. Also, there's really no reason yet to impose any restrictions as she's not being influenced greatly by outside sources. When that changes, I'll worry more (not that I'm not worried to death already lol).
All I can do is continue to talk to her about everything that she wants to talk about and hope that I've been a good enough, non-judgemental nor overly-opinionated parent where she'll continue to talk to me into her teens and beyond.
BTW, nice sig.
