I have a fifteen year old daughter who is going into her sophomore year of high school. At the end of the school year last year, she started hanging out with this new girl, we'll call her "Haley." Something about her has just rubbed me the wrong way. She never comes over to our house, our...

I would much rather that the information came from me and not from someone else. At least when I'm talking to them, I can control the information. Or at least try to.

Your daughter probably just wants to feel like she's getting unique attention from you and your wife. Maybe she feels like you two pay more attention to one another than to her? Maybe you should find more activities that you can all do together as a family!

You should check out the kids in the house website! Just google it and it should turn up. They even have their own forum there if you want another parenting community.

Of course people will always judge a book by its cover! As long as you keep your thoughts to yourself, I don't see why this would be an issue.

I think that this is totally appropriate for middle school and up. By this time if your daughter is comfortable, you should be too. If you are concerned about a co-ed environment you should consider an all girls school for your daughter, provided she would be open to the change!

This post is a little strange but I think it would just be appropriate to give a warning first and then if it's needed you can have a more stern approach.

I think that no matter what, your child will have beautiful eyes. Part of the fun is the surprise :)

Wow! I'm impressed you find time for it all. Good luck with your pregnancy. I'm a twin so I'll be sending you positive vibes :)

Welcome! Sounds like you've got your hands full with 5 kids. Hopefully we can all be helpful to you!

Hi all- My eldest daughter goes to an all girls school and she loves it. Annabelle is a role model for our middle child, Natalie. So, because Annabelle goes to an all girl school, Natalie wants to go to one too. When Annabelle made her decision, a lot went into the process. I want Natalie to...

Hey all-- I've got a son who picks his nose pretty much nonstop. I am worried that this will make him sick from germs he picks up at school or whatnot. Is this a valid concern? How do I get him to stop this behavior?? Thanks!

First of all, all my kids do sports. I think your daughter should be as up for joining a soccer team as your son, if that is something she is interested in. I am a twin and my sister loved doing karate as much as I did. I am happy our parents didn't make her do dance or art class just because...
