Willie-T LOL, all my father's side of the family, and about half of my mother's are German. I can understand that she didn't get the humor.
uhm I think I am even worse. I was born in the united States. My father is american. BUT he had to go to Germany because of his company sending him to Europe. My mom is German that is true. BUt I grown up between 2 worlds. I am in no way typical german and I refuse to be typical american as well. We can pick , for we have a free will. I desided to pick what I believe are the good parts of both sides and I reject the negative parts of both. At least I trie . lol I find it amusing people thinking Demi is like I am. For she has lot of me and her father. It would be terrible if she would be like me for that would mean she is not her own person. I seen people trying to make the kids like they are...nope I can not stand that. Teaching and showing is a mom`s job but you also have to step back and allow kids to be themself. Last thing I would want is a zombie of a daughter. How boring would that be? How frustrating? I love it if she doesn`t agree with me , I enjoy if we argue about thing. I really do. Plus kids got to make theire own mistakes, it is hard for parenst to watch it but you have to allow it, otherwise they do not learn and become puppets and that is NOT what my god tells me to do. The Bible everything in it always points in one direction= free will. Wrong or right you yourself have to chose! No other has the right to do that for you. Noone. No husband, no father , no mother, no firend , no pastor. Nobody.
