It is an awkward age. I'm responsible for myself more, but still depend on my parents, especially financially. But there are some times I've had to battle, especially with my dad. Like I said, the lawyer and the lawyer's daughter. We both get in argumentative moods, and my mother gets tired of both of us.
My mom's and my arguments are usually about my room, which is not neat. And the bathroom, which is neater, but gets messy. Since my hand surgery, my bathroom has stayed neat, and my room is still a mess, but my mom has left me alone about it.
Since my hand surgery, I've really needed my mom. I wouldn't let my mom leave the house for a few days after my surgery, and my dad wanted to know why. I told my dad that I don't care how old I get; when I don't feel well, I want my mommy!
