it's never a happy medium, is it sad

DD is either right in your face or pushing us away too, those hugs/moments are more special because of it

Oop. Shes gone. Normal service resumed.

I spent years grinding my teeth and desperate to sit on my own without her on top of me. Then suddenly she stopped. Now doesn't like touching at all. Do feet in lap is nice.

But there they are.
