Some promises for my daughter

I promise… to stop yelling at you. In return, you must promise to stop arguing every time you don’t get your way.
I promise… to drive you to your various medical appointments. In return, you must promise to do what the doctors and therapists have asked of you.
I promise… to give you an allowance. In return, you must promise to do your chores, as well as help when needed around the household.
I promise… to support your dietary explorations by buying, and sometimes preparing, foods nobody else in the household will eat. In return, you must promise to eat regularly and healthily.
I promise… to let you have various electronic gadgets in your bedroom. I also promise not to insist on a specific ‘bedtime’. In return, you must promise to get enough sleep.
I promise… not to nag at you. In return, you must promise to do what’s asked of you when the request occurs.
I promise to meet you halfway… if you promise to be there as well.
