What about a asking over her friends and yours and tell your daughter its a cookie and pie making get together for XMAS gifts and then have everyone surprise her?
Lots of champagne drinks, snack foods and fun party games....
Well...let's see...I treated each of my six ankle-biters differently because they were and are different people and the general consensus from them is that they did not feel that I treated any of them unequally. So I guess that I did adapt to the individual needs and I was and am still true to myself.
I cannot say that I treat everyone equally and/or the same. It would be impossible to do so and it would drive me insane. We all react to one another differently because we are not equal or the same.
Common courtesy is one thing but to expect that I will be treated the same as you or someone else is like saying that we are all carbon copies of one another. And how boring would that be?
For us...we keep the absurd sayings going in our family; they just seem to get funnier as time goes by...and we love it when we are trying to quote something and get it completely wrong or cannot say a word correctly....
My family is big and includes lots of friends also...when we get together...it's like watching a weird sitcom but we always have a blast! And yes, the sarcasm flows freely and heavily!
My kids and I are great friends now that they are adults but man! does the sarcasm come out when we all get together. Just talked to my daughter this morning and she told me that I always managed to call her at the worst possible times...so I told her if that was true, I wouldn't have grandkids...we both busted up laughing!
Wabbet...I've not been good, I've not been bad. Overall, I just want things to go MY way for once. If you cannot make that happen ~ then make a wish come true for someone truly deserving....
I said nothing about opinion leaders. I was basing my answers on those I have met in the Real World and those that I interact with. Honesty is a valued moral; however, I believe that there are those individuals who believe that they need to be "brutally honest" or "frank" in all their interactions with others and cannot see that sometimes, being honest does not require saying what you think off of the top of your head but being able to be honest while being compassionate (not lying or sugar-coating) is much better in the long run for anyone.
