Your life doesn't suck because you have to do your own dishes from now on. Maybe if you ever used the same water glass for more than five minutes in a row instead of using 12 glasses EVERY DAY, we wouldn't have come to this point. Ever...

I just thought I would offer that my 11 yo didn't learn to read fluently until she was closer to 7.5 or 8, and is now an excellent reader. She'll read a novel in a couple of days. So unless you think there are other issues (not that...

I voted 12 because that's what I'd be comfortable with. I also grew up in the 80s and remember girls starting to wear makeup around age 12/13 in 7th/8th grade. I never really wore makeup because I was a tomboy, but I wouldn't mind if...

We live in a semi-rural town of 1500. My kids are 13 and 11. They're allowed to go anywhere in town as long as they tell me where they're going and for how long. If we lived in a city I'd probably want them to give me more specific...

My dd will be 10 soon and is very nosy too. I have to tell her once a week or so to back off and give me a little privacy, that not everything I type or talk about on the phone is so exciting she NEEDS to know about it. She's not like...
