I haven't talked to her about it yet, but can my daughter make an account here? She's only 12 and thus under the age limit, but she's strong willed and probably going to want to speak for herself. Is there any way you'd make an exception for her? (Should I have PM'd a staff member instead?)

No exceptions, besides if you are unwilling to see the truth what good would it do to talk to her?

You could have left it at that.mom2many said:
I feel very, very strongly insulted right now. This addition was crass and added nothing.
Also, I prefer to let her have the final say in her own life when I can. If her mind changes, I'll go with it. There are very few exceptions, and most of those are for practical reasons. (For instance, I can't afford a therapist, convincing her would do nothing to help me pay the bills.)

No, you know what? Let her join. I am sooooo interested to hear what she has to say. She is a one time exception (that M2M and I discussed and decided to allow once) under the premise that she is "under parental supervision", but we will all be aware of her age, and the mods have the right to end her membership at any time for any reason. If she is disruptive or bothersome to the other members in any way (not saying she would be, just covering all bases), she will not be allowed to stay.
Alright. She'll be back over here on Tuesday. (And if her typistry isn't so good, that's because she'll be typing on an iPod touchscreen. Please forgive that.)Xero said:
I find it fascinating that you asked to have rules broken for her simply because she wants to talk to a bunch of adults about parenting?
Wouldn't her being so 'strong willed' make this a learning curve for her that rules are rules , no matter how much you want something different?

In case you hadn't noticed, I've done a lot of speaking for her here. She's the type that would rather speak for herself. I respect that, and I don't think she'll do anything else.cybele said:
She doesn't speak for others, and thinks before she opens her mouth. She's also very terse, and prone to making lists. (She gets the second thing from me, but she does it more than I do.)cybele said:
