...wrestle? Hello yahoo, this is Cara again. I posted a question a little while ago about my daughter being able to out-wrestle me. I was a little concerned that my age was a factor as to why I was losing. Even though I'm only 33. Here's the question I posted by the way -

After a couple of our matches, I've been starting to feel a little more competitive. I mentioned in my last question I wanted to ask her if she wanted to oil wrestle so I can even the odds a little, lol. We did and it was a BLAST! She cracked up pretty hard after I brought it up, but she agreed that we should do it. I used a fairly large infatable pool that I keep for my neices and nephews who come by during the summer. I set it up in the basement on top my aerobics mats so we wouldnt be wrestling on a hard floor.Then after I pick up a few bottles of baby oil from the store. After we got it all set up we got changed into our outfits and oiled up! My daughter likes to wrestle me in her singlet, but I just threw on my aerobics shorts.
It was hard to get control of one another since we were slipping all over the place. But she still manages to wrestle me into her submission holds! She even managed to wrap her thighs around my head and practically squeeze the life out of me >_<. Once she locked the hold on me she started taunting me about it too, lol. She was saying "c'mon mom, whats the matter/ Can't wrestle out of this?". I was a little frustrated admittedly. The whole point of us having an oil match was to see if It could have given me an advantage. But she still beats me!
So hence my question -- me not being able to out wrestle my daughter; does it mean I'm getting to old to play like this? Or is it I just can't fight at all?
I'd appreciate any insight. Thanks guys!
Here's one of her pictures by the way. Decked out in her wrestling gear!
