Bad mommy

My daughter prefers the suburbs to NYC—where did I go wrong?

By Susan Avery

When midnight came, I watched the fireworks from my window and thought about how lucky I was to be back in the city. The local TV news serenaded my solitary moment with “Auld Lang Syne,” followed by the requisite “New York, New York.”

“If I can make it there, I’ll make it anywhere,” belted out Old Blue Eyes.
And then it hit me.
Sorry, Mr. Chairman, but that’s just not true. I can’t make it anywhere but here. However, my daughter may decide to take her chances one day.
Got a Bad Mommy or Bad Daddy moment to share? E-mail Susan at BadMommy@timeoutny.com.
