Hanging In The Girlz Room.... ( Archived) (50)

For years I thought My mom abandonned my at 13 and last year I learned that she didn't leave me at all just went to a house for the insane. I guess she lost it after she was in a drunk driving accident and I was severly hurt.

Hey what doesn't kill us only makes us stronger, right??

Hmm I'm not sure which bit it is you disagree with..

I totally agree about the negative energy.

I think for some people the pain of talking about it IS far too much. I agree talking about stuff helps.. but sometimes don't always feel able too.

Financially my kids' dad is very generous as well...

He is NOT understanding that what these children want cannot be bought with money!

What i resent the most is the fact that he thinks "I" am the one that is sabotaging his relationship with the girls...I have NEVER said anything bad about him to them...as a matter of fact NOTHING (not even getting to say I told you so...) is enough for me to hurt my children in the long run....

Its his lying to them, and mouthing the words "I love you" rather than showing them he loves them is the reason the girls are clinging to me more and pushing him aside...

Well the girlz room is obsessed with MEN and bad relationships, can't we talk about something else?

Give me some advice, I have to back to Russia in a month and I need to reduce the stuff in my suitcase as I paid a fortune in excess baggage last time. I'm going for three months, it's going to be very cold initially but April and beginning of May warmer. I teach in a large company so can't just pack jeans and jumpers. I also need to take some books, not much social life, and I can't do without certain things such as my ghd's.

What can I take out of my suitcase?

LOL...I hate packing...

My theory has always been one suitcase for shoes and neccessities only...the other for clothes and anything i "need" i'll just buy when i'm there!

I have no real advice for packing...its something i suck big time at...

"mix and match" outfits are usually a good idea - but i'm sure you already know that!

I never end up wearing half the stuff i carry, because the "natives" are usually acclimatised and i'm not, and can't wear my stuff!! (I usually end up looking like a homeless because i wear the same thing practically every day!)

I'd say buy some of the stuff that you need there.

As a single parent i tend to "give in" to my girls perhaps a little more than i should...

My daughter will be 14 shortly...she has her eyebrow pierced and her nose pierced (I know i know), but that was the result of "deals" we had made regarding her school marks.

She is an honor roll student, a straight a student and has been for the past 3 years, she is also on the student council...

Now she wants her belly button pierced....is she too young for this?

I'm scared to make the same deals that i have the past two years, because obviously i've lost...I just assumed with her active social life she would not have been able to pull off straight A's and the end of the year...

Any suggestions? I really hate making her feel that all of her hard work at school goes unrewarded...its all i've ever asked of her...is that she focus on her school work...and she does

By the way I have mine pierced so i can't say that its unacceptable to me...
