I usually get it when I say something she doesn't want to hear. For example, "It's not my fault you're tired. When you stay the night at a friend's house and stay up until 3:00 in the morning and then sleep all day, the next morning when you have to get up is going to be tough." ;) Then I get "the look" followed by a "whatever". I keep hearing that it only gets better from here on out. My daughter is 11 and is working CONSTANTLY on perfecting “the look”. I usually get it when I say something she doesn’t want to hear.

Most kids get to escape at school, not her. The Look is a daily part of our lives. Stomp, stomp, slam not so much so. We took the door off her bedroom. :d She still has the hall door to her part of the house, but she knows if it slams, it's gone too. At least for a while.

My daughters are grown but I know the Look!! :) Yes, sometimes I am my mother & my daughters tell me once in awhile that they find themselves being me!! :) We just laugh & shake our heads! When they were growing up I had the look, usually over the top of my glasses & they knew I meant business!! Music--I grew up listening to great music in the 40's & my teenage years were the 50's & certain songs will still bring a sigh from me just because I remember once when I was young!! My favorite music now is smooth jazz & when I have the radio on it is on that station, love it! However, my CD collection is a very eclectic collection of music I love, why would you buy anything else!! :d Have a great day everyone. Great blog & comments!

But my kids also know that I wont hesitate to become obnoxious with them and their friends in an instant...(they learned that over the last 2 years while I was a substitute teacher at their school)!! My oldest just turned 14 and then I have an 11 year old, 8 year old and a 6 year old....no wonder my husband works such wacky hours!! The popular saying in my house is "I perfected The Look long before you were ever thought of and can still teach you much about it"...LOL. The stomp, stomp, slam will get their doors removed from thier hinges(this only took once and seems to work magic!)....just so happy to know it isn't only MY kids that do this ;) The Look is alive and well in my home also…but what can I expexct when I have 4(yes 4) daughters?!

I listen to rock music in the morning and sports talk the rest of the day. I don't have kids but I have nieces and nephews they are too little to be embarrased already but my nephew really hates it when I hug and kiss him in public. O/T: just an fyi Michael Vartan was in New York all last week and went to see Bradley's play and went to the Mets game on Friday. Someone that I know had lunch and dinner with him on Saturday.

I can relate to that look on two levels............LOL I still get it from my daughter who is 33 and from my son who is 32.........on occasion when I say or do something that they "can't believe I just did that". On the next level I get the look quite frequently when I around my grandson who is 8 and my granddaughter.......who is 12 and I swear going on 24.........LOL Ahh! And have you noticed that even when you talk to them on the phone - you can just imagine them rolling their eyes and sighing......... :d Carly what a great topic.
