Have you ever met someone who does the exact opposite of what you believe is right? Did you know someone that will not agree with the easiest idea or concept solely to express a different opinion from you? If you're the mummy of a girl you most probably know precisely what I'm talking about.
My child has opposed me at most everything since she turned 12 years old. Before that time she used to be a fun kid. She always was a bit willful, but she was controllable. Now that she's an adult and marrying she's mellowing again. In the years that my girl was growing up we lived in an old farm house. We had transformed it to update the plumbing and heating, however we revived the woodwork, floors and moldings to their previous state. We found amazing antiques to put in the rooms. It took us years to find the best antique farm table for the kitchen. As with many farm homes the kitchen is massive with a space to eat in. There's also a formal dining room ; however the bulk of our meals were eaten in the kitchen area. Not only was it more acceptable but the area was warm and cheery. The antique farm table fit the space like it had been made for it.
It had been a powerful oak table that had a few leaves that stored beneath it. When the table was stretched with all of the leaves in it could seat 12 folk. When our kids were grown and out of the home my partner and I made up my mind to reposition to a lake home. We put the revived farm house on the market. We were in the midst of selling the house when our girl and her fiance were attempting to find a residence to move into. They were both starting new roles and they didn't know where their careers would lead them so they didn't need to purchase a house instantly. My girl questioned if we were going to take the antique farm table with us. I told her it was too large for the house we were moving into. I was hoping to sell it to the purchasers of the farm house as it fit the room so well. My girl maintained that she wanted it.
When we were searching for the different antiques that we furnished the home with she needed a chrome and vinyl room. She only wanted very modern furniture and now she wanted the antique farm table for a loft. She confessed that she mostly adored the table and the farm house. She told that she wished to have a corresponding home when she acquired one. I never know day to day what surprise she's going to come up with. I'm hoping the oppositional years are over.
