Members square Posted February 13, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Congratulations that's wonderful.Wonderful ??!! You must be mental. She's too young. She's not ready. I'm not ready. She's my little girl. Auntie Flo, go away and don't come back for another 3 or 4 or 5 years. AAAHHHHH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WendyNY Posted February 14, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Monthly visits from Aunt Flo from Red Bank (that's Exit 109 off the Garden State Parkway, for you out of towners) are a hell of a thing to saddle an eleven year old girl with. Thanks, Mother Nature.Square, you crack me up !!!! LOL....I can sympathize. My girls are 12 and 14. My youngest got hers last year at 11 also. She is the more mature of my two daughters. Do you know she had it for almost 4 days before I even found out ?? She just took care of it and didn't say anything. My oldest daughter got hers a little later that same year . She was 13. Now she is COMPLETELY different and you would have thought we needed to take her to the ER !!! It's a lot for them to go through at that age. Yes, it's a sign that they are becoming a woman but at the same time we want to keep them our babies. I think men have a harder time with their daughters growing up. I know my husband is not handling them maturing very well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my husband is not handling them maturing very well....Absolutely! My DH has a hard time remembering my girls are young adults, they will forever be his little girls. They all grow up in spite of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chloegirl Posted February 14, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Lol, poor Square! You will soon find out that the worst part is not the periods themselves, it's several years of cranky, moody, super emotional outbursts over every little thing! But it all works itself out in the end with lots of patience, love, and firm guidance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WendyNY Posted February 15, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sometimes in our day to day lives we all have thoughts that perhaps what we do doesn't really make a difference to anyone, doesn't really matter or is not important. Sometimes we feel unappreciated even. I know I've often felt that way. My children sometimes make me feel that way as well. Yesterday was Valentine's Day. While I was at work I was summoned to a patient's exam room. I was confused as I'm not a nurse so I couldn't undertand why I would need to go there. When I got to the room, there was an older man--in his 80's maybe. He was in a wheelchair and his son was with him. On his lap was a box of candy JUST FOR ME--ONLY FOR ME. He smiled at me and he said he wanted to give it to me for all I had done for him, to help him. I was simply stunned. HE THOUGHT OF ME with all he had going on in his own life. He was SO SICK and HE THOUGHT OF ME....I was speechless and it almost brought me to tears. So, I guess that's confirmation that when we think what we do doesn't matter--it matters to SOMEONE.

Members Kace Posted February 16, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Aw, that's great to hear. It's nice to be validated once in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WendyNY Posted February 17, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Aw, that's great to hear. It's nice to be validated once in a while. Yes, validation is definitely nice. Although it's not necessary all the time, it helps every once in awhile with our outlook of life and ourselves in general. I suppose that incident happened at just the right moment for myself also. We all need a pick me up every now and then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mailahn97 Posted February 18, 2012 Members Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 It is interesting in conversations you can have with some friends. A friend I have had for probably 5 years and I have recently become much closer as we know we can trust each other with anything and wow the conversations have been that. It feels good to have someone in person to talk so openly with as well. Don't get me wrong I have friends from here that I know I can pick up the phone at anytime and talk to as well. Just fun as we make sure we do dinner or lunch once a week to catch up as she is in the process of divorcing and my divorce was final a year ago so we have or are going through a lot of the same things. We have learned some rather interesting things about each other that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the "trust" part of it is HUGE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stays in shape, but doesn't have to be a gym rat, always put together and dressed well (even in sweats), a bit manicured while staying manly, and is gentlemanly but can still be a man's man . Basic explanation, but I think you get the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
