    What size shoes does your child wear?

    My DS 12 wears a size 14 mens now. He's always been about a size ahead of his age. Now he's jumped 2 sizes. He's also about 6ft tall though :scared1:

    Do you/did you push your child into an activity?

    Thanks for the different perspectives. To answer some of the questions, yes I'm a single working mom. His dad was not around at all until about a year ago. He never really talks about basketball to DS, so I don't think that was what changed his mind. I thought if they played together he might...

    Wwyd...

    I also vote to keep it, even if it's smushed somewhere. When I was little my mom and I were very poor. I never had a bedroom set growing up. When I was about 7 she bought this antique thing really cheap(I think it's actually a buffet for a dining room) and she refinished it herself and gave me...

    Do you/did you push your child into an activity?

    Thanks for the replies. I know being tall isn't the key, the best players on his team are actually the little guys! He just looks like he should play lol. I won't push him, but I just don't want him to give up if he changes his mind in 2 years. He did mention an interst is track after trying...

    Do you/did you push your child into an activity?

    I'm torn about DS 12 and basketball. He's played since he was 5. He always loved it. In our area the kids play through the rec department until middle school, then they can try out for the middle school team. He started middle school this year and made the team, seemed really happy about it, but...

    Punishment for inappropriate computer use?

    I'm so happy I saw this thread. I just went through this with my own DS 12. He didn't clear his history on his laptop and I saw he searched for not only "real" ones but silicone lol! We had a long talk, didn't yell at all, but I explained I was concerned and asked him how many women he's...

    Oddest gift exchanged in your family?

    My great aunt who is 85 and is a nun usually knits hats and booties for everyone (I mean everyone, adults, kids) they are in completely random color combinations. You might get a green and purple hat,pink and yellow booties or red and brown. The booties are always the same size about a womens 5...

    what's the worst thing you've eaten at wdw?

    The absolute worst thing I've eaten at WDW (and possibly anywhere..) was the Chicken Pot Pie at 50's PTC. I heard such great things about that place and we've never made an ADR. DS and I tried it in Feb and it was disgusting. All gray meat and gristle, I couldn't even look at it once I took the...

    would you go alone with daughter, 8?

    Another vote to go! DS 10/11 (turned 11 on our trip) went alone for the first time in February and we had a blast. I'm a single parent and we've been to WDW many times but always with friends or family. This was our favorite trip by far.

    Movie: Year One

    I made the mistake of taking my 16 yr old sister to see this...I'm 34. Not only was it a horrible movie, but I was the oldest person in the theater by 12-14 years :lmao: It was awful, between the movie itself, the giggling girls, kids making out and all of the cell phones going off :scared1:

    Airplane travel etiquette

    Just to add my 2 cents....DS and I normally only travel for vacations 1-2 times a year. We only take a small backpack and stow it under the seats. I've travelled to Europe and have taken a carryon that I stowed in the bin, but for domestic travel I don't. I know this isn't everybody, but what...

    Rate my TS choices please

    We had lunch at LTT for the first time on our last trip and DS 11 and I really enjoyed it. I had heard not so good reviews, but we're planning on eating there again on our next trip. Kona breakfast is also great. We didn't get there this past February, but have been in the past and we both...

    A few dicisions I need to make before Tuesday

    DS 11 and I did Ohana for dinner and Chef Mickey's for breakfast on our last trip. These were 2 of his favorites after Boma. This is part of our normal dining routine when at WDW. I've never tried it the other way around so I can't offer any pros or cons.

    High Heels--am I crazy?

    I have to agree that you'd be crazy. I also wear hate wearing sneakers with jeans and rarely wore flat shoes (until a few years ago when I injured my back). You can find some cute rubber soled flats with a little support and you'll be in much better shape. On our last trip I tried to wear some...

    Kid Lost - Tell them to go to a CM and ask to use their cell phone?

    I don't know if this is the "norm" but a CM did let DS 11 use her cell phone in February. It was just DS and I and we were at AK. We went on EE twice and DS wanted to go one more time and there wasn't a wait, so he went again alone. I was waiting outside, but decided to move inside the gift shop...
