<r><SIZE size="2"><s><SIZE size="100"></s>My name is Janine, and I’m new to the world of forums, at least for parenting issues. I have had questions in the past and I probably would have benefitted from some different perspectives. I have managed to get through those issues with some advice from my girlfriends, but I would like to make some friends who may have a different viewpoint for future issues.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>
<SIZE size="2"><s><SIZE size="100"></s>My kids tell me that I am completely out of touch with what’s ‘cool’ etc, and I thought it would be beneficial to bounce ideas off others who have gone through what I’m going through. Maybe I’m not the only ‘uncool’ mother out there. It can all be overwhelming since I don’t have a partner to help.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>
<SIZE size="2"><s><SIZE size="100"></s>I have a 16 year old son, Brandon. His grades have been pretty good and I have to say he’s been a charm to raise. No real discipline problems with Brandon. He wrestles for his high school and plays football as well.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>
<SIZE size="2"><s><SIZE size="100"></s>My daughter, Kelly, is 14 years old, and is itching to get behind the wheel of a car. She plays volleyball, is a cheerleader, and her grades have been excellent. I have to say she listens to me even if it is with an eye-roll and an OMG.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>
<SIZE size="2"><s><SIZE size="100"></s>As for me, I am 45 and divorced. My husband is no longer in our lives. I enjoy painting when I can find time. I find exercise to be a great form of releasing stress.<e></SIZE></e></SIZE><br/>
I look forward to talking with you!</r>
