And you say I only hear what I want to…
I’m sick. I have an infection of the sinus type and it’s made me rather loopy and prone to misspelling and sounding a bit like Dr. Seuss after awhile. So please, forgive me for my imperfections today.
I spent most of my two hours up this morning watching the coverage of Prince Charles and Camilla’s wedding. I hate weddings. I think I’m going to write a book one day called I Hate Weddings and make it about this curmudgeonly woman who goes to wedding receptions to throw boomerang fish.
Yes, I’ve been watching Muppets too.
I think I’ve made Wendi mad. I know that since I went to Savannah to spend time with her she hasn’t called and/or emailed (though I haven’t called I have emailed a few times). I’ve been waiting for the title on my car and she sent it yesterday with a very brief note that she was sorry it took so long. And that’s it. *shrug* I don’t know what I did wrong. I love her to death but sometimes she confuses me.
Julia is very upset this morning. Her two new friends may be moving back to Pennsylvania at the end of this school year. All I can say is: Not a minute too soon. I know she’ll miss them and she’ll be sad for awhile but ever since she’s become friends with them she’s become a different kid. I know she’s hitting puberty but it’s still driving us all crazy. She was determined to get us to allow her to go on a DATE with a 15 year old boy with a beginner’s permit. A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD WITH A BEGINNER’S PERMIT going out on a date with a TWELVE YEAR OLD. She just doesn’t understand why we wouldn’t let her go. “I’m not going to DO (with obligatory eye roll) anything. That’s gross.” *sigh* I’m sick so I don’t need to go anywhere and since she’s not going on the date she’s been begging me to take her somewhere. Tell me I’m not crazy to not want Julia to go on this date! I didn’t date in high school but even my younger sister, Teresa, wasn’t allowed to date until she was 16. Has the dating age been lowered? And if so – is that why there are so many 12, 13, and 14 year olds out there having babies? *sigh*
Boy, I’m loopy and in a mood.
My mood today is mainly influenced by the fact that I’m at work and I hate working on Saturdays – my main reason is because we get nothing but IDIOTS in on Saturday. No, I’m serious. With the exception of two couples here to check the tee-off times at the Masters the rest of the people in here are CRAZY. One guy is begging us to tell us where there’s a lawyer open… the other three don’t understand why they’re not allowed on porn sites. It’s driving me CRAZY. And then there’s the crazy guy who comes in, sits at a table and just STARES AT ME. He doesn’t do it to JUST me however. He’s been branching out. He’s been staring at people on the computers too. Mostly young girls. Ugh… weirdo. Definitely have to watch him.
Anyway, I should go. I’m in a complain-y mood today and I didn’t really think I was when I logged in here.
*hugs all around* I hope you all have a lovely weekend.
I’m 17 and half way there to 18. I’ve experienced friends having babies at a very young age. Why? Because their parents don’t care enough to talk to them about the safeties. If you put limitations on kids and tie them down, their going to find a way around it somewhere somehow and it can end in a worse situation. However, if you talk to your kid and let them know your’e there and you trust them ::

:: and you allow them a little freedom in life, then things will work out better. Compromise w/ her. Say she can go out with the boy somewhere but a parent has to drive them or something. *shrugs* just until you get to know the boy and know that he’s a safe person to allow her in a car with. When parents make little compromises it can work, but sometimes it can backfire. So ask what she thinks ::

:: would be a good compromise and how you can work it out. If it works out then cool, if not then I’m sorry. Maybe I’m just as hopeful about teenage trust as parents are. Good luck.

12 is way too young to be dating!… going out with a group of friends.. yes.. but only with an adult driving them to and fro from where they’re going.. 16- I agree.. that’s the youngest a kid should be before they go out on one on one dates, and even then, my personal opinion is that it should be in a group setting with some adult involvement… boy.. my daughter will HATE me.. hehee..
