Trying Too Hard?

I signed my daughter up for a weekend event this weekend. She had attended last year and we had two out-of-town girls stay with us during the event. So, this year, I naturally signed up again, and requested the same girls. With good intentions, it bombed from start to finish -- no kids her age at the event and a mismatch of a house guest.
As your kids get older, you don't know what to do or what not to do. But, you do know that you love your child more than it could be imagined, and you are willing to sacrafice your weekend, for better or for worse. And, as she reminded me, "you are treating me like a child."
