Child-rearing

There's a disadvantage to raising a kid of a different race than me.

I have failed my Kendra by lack of knowledge.

When I went to wake her up on Thursday her face was swollen.  One eye almost shut and the tip of her nose and her lips.  Like bad-swollen.

We tried benedryl.  We tried Ibuprofin.  We tried Blistex.  

Nothing helped.

Today while Sam and I were out at a cookout/armor building thing she called her grandmother.

Apparently that's how Kendra reacts to sunburn.

I feel like a bad mommy.

It doesn't sound to me like you are a bad mom, even if she is almost 20.

You tried everything you could think of and trust me Granny always seems to know something that you don't.
