Tween/Teen
- Tween/Teen I really really hate 'mean girls'. Just reading others posts and makes me SO glad I'm done with that. Wish my dd's would realize that in 10-15 years none of this will matter a...(more)
- mean kids, you mean- my ds has had more trouble with boys than my dd!
- I always thought it was harder with dd's. I thought boys 'fight' and then get over it.
- No, they really dont fight- they goad each other on, exclude, taunt
- ^^and they are pretty mean during sports- yelling at kids who miss, etc
- I've heard of the boys on the bus teasing and taunting others. my dd was telling me how all the boys (and some not so nice girls) are constantly bugging this one kid. They grab...(more)

- And ours moms thought the same thing with us. But you didn't listen and either will our dds.

- Tween/Teen My dd used to be very good friends with this girl but in 5th grade they drifted apart. No big deal but now that they're in middle school the girl is being very nasty and mean not...(more)
- I'd limit their friendship in ways that I have control. Obviously you can't stop them from socializing at school, but you can make your 4th grader very "busy" so that she has no...(more)
- stay out of it. the mom might have nothing to do with it. this is how 6th grade girls behave.
- Sadly, yes. My dd has been frozen out of a clique of her old friends. It's sad because she so badly wants to be in. Not sure if I should sit her down and tell her to move on.
- tell her to move on and find some new friends. seriously. if they're freezing her out she should certainly move on. good luck.
- She has them - other friends call her right and left. But it kils me that she's so interested in these other brats. Hope she's not that way with guys in a few years.
- I know exactly what you mean. Encourage her to move on and not try to be apart of a clique that clearly doesn't want anyone else in. Ask her why she feels the need to be with them...(more)

- I think you are overthinking it. Keep an eye on the younger sister and go on with your life.
- butt the hell out
- Are you sure the mom is encouraging this? Are you sure that this little girl isn't just isolated and seeking out any attention she can get, however negative?
- op: the mom has always been a social climber and I've often heard her tell her dd to not worry about anyone else's feelings and only worry about herself. I don't think her older...(more)
- there's nothing you can do here. let your kids be themselves and navigate this on their own

- can you talk to a friend or family member and get the name of a good lawyer inyour area. are you in nyc? what is your dh's income? you will need to work again, but not until a...(more)
- ^^you also need therapy to realize that you are not the piece of crap they are all treating you like -- and you need to learn why you have been allowing their behavior.
- I had a pretty bad and abusive childhood so sure that probably has something to do with it.
- I am nervous because am 46 and havent worked in over a decade. My field has changed quite a bit and doubt I would find work easily
- you can start putting together a resume now. it would be a step forward. you shouldn't look for work until after the divorce. what is your dh's salary? you get half of the assets...(more)

- Tween/Teen Almost 13 year old DD is just starting puberty, and the up/down emotions crying/anger/ crying is overwhelming. Any tips to help her get through it and me survive?
- Lots of exercise for her to blow off that steam, Ativan for you.

- Tween/Teen What is the new thing for 9 year old girls that replaced shopkins? moumou? trying to find this . . .
- Tsum tsum?
- Tween/Teen When does a womans face really start to age? I mean jowls,sagging skin,neck,etc. Is going through meno early guaranteed to speed it up as well?
- caucasians...mid 30s...asians and other races...mid-40s
- LOL. It depends so much on SES. You see Asian and Latina women who have spent a lot of time in the sun, and they don't fare too well.
- ffs
- It's not an exact thing.
- For me at 42 for both, yes.
- Mid 40s
- To me women between the ages of 35-43 or so look the same - I can't tell their exact age. By mid 40s though there is a definite change.
- I am 41 and it hasn't happened yet. Dread it though
- it has
- 43 for me
- I'm 46. I just started noticing some sagginess under my mouth if it is in a neutral position
- I'm 50 and just noticed neck lines in the past year
- 48 here and notice a lack of elasticity. No jowls or sagging neck yet but I can tell the skin just ain't what it used to be.

- Tween/Teen Anyone have a good AP bio tutor to recommend? NYC 11th grade. Tia
- Tween/Teen Will going into full menopause earlier than your friends age youmuch faster too? I went into full Meno last year at 45 and many ofmy same age friends still get regular periods.
- I stopped getting my period at 48 and am now 51. I don't look any older/more haggard. But I'm not frumpy.
- you're already old
- np do you plan to die at 49?
- no, I am saying that she was already in the old range when she stopped her period
- that is middle age. not old. grow up!
- Avg age is 51 with most between 46-56 but 41-61 is in normal range. Only pathology of younger than that

- yes
- I have 2 friends who had very early premature menopause and both are slim and gorgeous.
- Not true for me. I was 47, now 50. No change
- I had a late meno and look younger than my friends so were still having their periods. But I'm 15 lbs overweight so that helps.
- You sound like my mom. Went thru menopause at 61, looks late 40s because she's a size 12.
- I stopped getting my period at 48 and am now 51. I don't look any older/more haggard. But I'm not frumpy.

- I never played any sport in high school, was only in the band. I got into college
- But sounds like you were good at an instrument.
- Yes, she is doomed--just kidding. No it does not matter as long as she has some interests.
- I did neither.
- But sounds like you were good at an instrument.
- Stop strategizing for admission to college
- My child is a senior --gulp. First and first are grades and in most schools followed by sat or act followed by extra curricular!
- meaning colleges look at grades and classes taken first and then look at standard test scores. The last tier are sports, community, leadership and passion!!
- Mine is doomed, but that's ok
- Having a senior and visited 23 colleges, I promise that no child is doomed. There really is a schoolo for everyone. Read Frank Bruni on the college admission process, he is spot...(more)

- Tween/Teen This post has been disliked 4 times. Does your dh ever set an alarm on weekends? Our kids are older now but it BUGS me that he never sets an alarm and always sleeps in late unless there are sports for kids. I mean...(more)
- why do you care!
- op - because I always get up and get things done around the house - he maybe puts some dishes away ...
- so don't if you are going to score keep, wait until he is up and do together
- It should be about sharing getting things done but not the timeline
- op - because I always get up and get things done around the house - he maybe puts some dishes away ...
- what do you want him up for?
- There are a lot of hours in a day
- there are but he goes to bed early - tired all the time
- sleep apnea?
- Is he fat?
- he's avoiding you and dc
- He must hate you.
- there are but he goes to bed early - tired all the time
- I would never set the alarm to do something around the house! Sorry that's crazy!
- No. Neither of us ever get up on a weekend unless we must. Sleeping in is wonderful.
- no but he is an early riser, it is not like he is doing anything though
- Fuck, yes. Too much to expect. Home is for relaxing.
- only if we have something planned that requires us to get up early.
- Neither of us sets an alarm unless we're doing something specific. If anything, I'm the layabout in the couple.
- I sleep late now that dc are older. Still laying in bed YBing now. Dh is up early and has never cared that I dont
- Leave him alone and let him sleep. He's on a different schedule from you. Quit trying to run his life.
- why do you care!
- Tween/Teen Are you still fertile as long as you have a period? I am 54 and still get monthly periods but can I still get pregnant too?

- NP that's totally untrue
- You think they had IVF in 1899?...(more)

- np - exactly what I thought. like, you have that backwards op
- Delete the apps
- op. But snap chat is how she communicates with all her friends. If I deleted that, she would be left out of her friendship circle. Do you all really do that? Not allow your...(more)
- I wish insta/snapchat were never invented.
- why?
- Kids look at them and think everyone has a perfect life and is having more fun than they are.
