	If you do in fact enact this, you will be stultifying your daughter's
growth, and limiting the relationship between you.  You must accept the fact
that she will grow up and become a mature adult woman capable and allowed to
make her own decisions.  Insisting on always being mother compared to her
will cause her to push you out of her life in order  to have the freedom to
be an adult.  Wouldn't you rather be closer and let the nature of the
relationship grow and change?  Who's in control, you or the mother role?
