Even though I haven’t put it to words as wonderfully as you have – YES! My heart agrees with you in every way here. Yes, yes, yes.

My gosh, this is excellent. No one ever said this me when I was growing up, especially when I hit Jr High/High school and needed to hear it most, no one said anything like this to me.

If only, maybe I would have known that I didn’t need to get married at 18… but then again, I had very religious parents who truly felt that me getting married at 18, a naive virgin, was a great idea. It was God’s Will. To them, I wasn’t complete without a mate.

Very well said. This is such an important message for teenage girls and women alike. Definitely something that I hope to instill in my daughter.

Wow. I don’t have kids but it applies to a friend of mine. 34 years-old and she’s still waiting for a prince. When she meets a guy she romanticizes the relationship to death and concentrates on values and details that do not matter in a relationship instead of waiting to fall for someone who offers respect, friendship, tenderness, laughter and who really likes her for who she is on her own. I wish her mother had said what you plan to say to your daughter one day.

Loved your post !

A thousand times “ditto”. My own pre-teen girls have read the books, seen the first movie. They’re not impressed . We watched Twilight together when it came out on DVD & I wish i had recorded the running commentary from the twins. There’s this scene where Edward is telling Bella how dangerous he is,blah blah blah and Bella says she doesn’t care. One of my daughters was screaming at the TV: “Some guy tells you he could kill you & you say that’s OK??? Are you a freakin’ moron!?”

Ah,i love my girls

I should just print that out and give it to my daughter when she is older. I don’t know what I will do if she feels she needs a boy to complete her. I am hoping I can convince her otherwise.
