It's so hard to control your child's influences. We have a hard time with that as well. All I can do is tell my kids that tehre are some things that aren't meant for children and try to make sure tey have plenty of child friendly alternatives.
We went to the mall on Sun and there was a cheerleading compition in town. the girls there were all in the short tiny skirts and had so much make up on it made me ill. Little girls 7 and 8 yrs old had this stuff on and no one thought twice about it. I of course talked to my DD's about proper dress and make up. We also talked about how it sends the wrong message to be dresses like that. It's no wonder that child molestation and porn are on the rise, parents are putting their kids is skimpy outfits and make up and sending them out into the world; for what??!?!?! A medal or trophy?

My DD7 and I have the clothing conversation quite often (oy the teen years are gonna be rough). I try hard to find her clothes that are age appropriate but not too little girlie. She still likes to dress in ruffles and lace but every now and then we get hand me downs that are not OK for her age and that usually ends up leading to conversations about what is Ok and what isn't. I wish her friends moms were on the same page as me-it would make my life so much easier

At least the boys are easy, jeans (or shorts) and a tshirt and they are happy.
GOOD MORNING, PEEPS!!!
JEANNE! There you are again! Chiming in with one little post. Hope things have calmed down at your house!
MAKE IT A GREAT DAY, PEEPS!!!
Thanks Melinda for always noticing me. Things have settled down some. I think we are gooing to take over the Fitness Center early (like two weeks) and we are having a disagreement about finances. I just don't think he thinks about the money like he should so I will write it all out for him and see if he will see my point-cuz I'm sure I'm right
