Not everything has to be a fight. In the end, does it really matter if she chooses to wear purple tights with a green skirt? No but what does matter is that she is thoughtful and kind and open to appreciating others and what they have to say. I hope that in choosing my battles more wisely than I may have once done will help my child to be mindful of these things, and that in the end it does not matter if the clothes match or if the hair is dyed blue. What matters is that she turns out to be a good kid, and that is what is important to me. Having a child, and a williful one at that. has taught me to be stronger and to choose my battles wisely.
