Tammy,
Even though it is hard to turn off emotions -especially when it comes to your child. Just think of it this way: When your daughter was a toddler, you said "no" to many things...touching a hot stove, putting coins in her mouth, wanting to jump into a pool without knowing the consequences, etc. As she grew up and became a teenager -you had to say 'no' to concerts, dating, too much make-up, parties where she may find trouble, curfews. You did all of that and said all of those "NO's" without it being difficult b/c you KNEW you HAD to say NO in order to keep her safe and healthy. You didn't let her convince you to put a penny in her mouth at age 3 did you? You didn't let her convince you that going to a wild party with drugs at age 12 was okay did you? I would be you stuck to your guns then...to ensure her safety. She is still your child who you want to love and protect - and now her child is your concern to love and protect. So, saying NO and sticking to it now is the same thing - -saying no to have your two girls stay safe and healthy for the time being. That's how you control your emotions...but looking at in a different light to help you through those emotions!
Just a thought....
Good luck to you and thanks for keeping us posted.
God Bless! :)
