i think it's no big deal. if they want to shave, shave... if they don't, don't... it's also right about the same age my sister started shaving. so i guess the timing is just normal. i suggest you just let them shave if they want to... maybe educate them on other options like, this cream they...

oh you do? how is it so far? just honest feedback only please :)

tomorrow is a big day... i'll take my kid to a doctor for a check and see if she's dyslexic

we just live in a different time. there are 800,000 sex offenders registered in the US but that's not even 10 percent of actual abusers because 90 percent get away with it even after repeated offense. that's 1 child abuser per 1 square km in the US. there's some use for it. of course it has to...

it is water resistant

if the question is "can she?" the answer is yes she can as much as you can keep the kids. she can drag you to court and if proven that they are not yours biologically, she can come up with evidences why you shouldn't keep the children. but you can also prove that you are more deserving of...

statistically, it's for 6-14 years old which is 62% of the child abduction cases in the country. again, it will not stop child abduction but it's just an extra level of protection. it's also for children with special needs as mentioned by bssage below or for elderly parents who are not in...

my father told me i started touching myself at 4 and he just told me to do it in private. he didn't make a big deal out of it. i feel you are doing right by not making a big deal out of it too. i would agree that you shouldn't smell their hands, clothes and sheets.

Hi everyone! Just thought i'd share this... if anyone is interested in getting a GPS tracking device for their children, I have a client that manufactures GPS trackers. I can get you huge discounts. Maybe even free. GPS trackers will help you keep track exactly where your child is at any...

everything you mentioned is a staple college cuisine. my parents stored lots of sliced fresh fruits back when i was younger. they also found alternatives to unhealthy chips that i liked. i like chips and there was no way i would stay away from it so they found alternatives like organic chips.

there must be something that the boyfriend provides that's making her want to stay in the relationship. she has a need that he fulfills. that's what you need to find out. what is he providing her that she things she needs or wants? excitement? importance? know what that is. when you know then...

my mom is asian. belts, kitchen utensils and other objects were all like the rod of Zeus when she holds 'em. i know all my cousins (some grew up in Asia) were all hit by their parents. apparently, it's normal there for parents to hit their kids. i guess "hitting" children is not so out of...

it seems that the cause of her misbehaving is the boyfriend? or at least that's what you think. am i right? i read your post and the one thing missing is a clear understanding on why she is doing all these things? i don't think the boyfriend is the cause, i think the relationship with the...

happy to hear that. just in case you start having doubts again, try to remember why you like her before you knew about her past. that's what matters. i also think it's extremely mature that you decided to talk about it with her.
