Fantastic FBGs as usual! You sound like you definitely need a break from work. Take a week off while the weather is good and get some riding done outside in the sunshine

Thank you
Think the teenage years are the worst, I would just say pick your battles wisely & learn box breathing, at least she won’t be wearing all your favourite clothes & using all your makeup & perfume, men have it easier

Thank you

Oh yes, battles only over things that really matter, everything else just goes away by itself and you even get the rare occasional unprompted apology. Which just leaves you worried about what's the motivation behind the apology! LOL
She steals all my favourite t-shirts, (Led Zepp, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Marvin Gaye ... and I have to say they look a lot cooler on her!), all my guitar plectrums, and the occasional guitar gets "borrowed" without asking. Thankfully I'm too beautiful to need make up and hair products are a thing of the past. So I'm winning on those fronts.
