DD11 is and has been underweight since she was weaned. DP had the same problem, she was underweight even during her second pregnancy and had to drink protein shakes to keep enough weight on for her pregnancy. I don't have any...

So, DD11 is in 5th grade and her class is going on a field trip to a local watering hole next week. This morning she informed me that the girls are required to wear one-piece bathing suits, but the boys don't have to wear shirts. There...
