If you saw me stumbling around over here trying to figure out parenting, my kids, and the culture, you'd put your hat right back on!

Seriously, though, thanks for reading and for being kind. In addition to not wanting to read all their interpersonal texts--I'm introverted and don't have the energy to keep up with mine--I also want them to feel that they have some thought and relationship space that is sacred to them, without Mom reading ALL their stuff. We'll just have to see how it all works out.
