I might clarify this: I learned a long time ago what my daughter is like, and I won't pull any punches nor gloss it over. I am factual about it because that's the way it is. I live with it. I don't like it, but I live with it, and never expect anything from her. That way, I'm not disappointed. She is her father's daughter.
I've got one or two of them myself.
But in my case, I think it's a good thing.
