There does come a point where you just do decide certain things need to slide. Do what you need to do to get through.

Alot of my kids did this at 16 and 17 and at 19 and 20 are realizing mom isn't all bad.

As for the apology, no, it wasn't real and I get the slime, but it still is part of the process and maybe after a few thousand practice attempts, she'll get it.

Hang in there.
