my wee lil girl.. turns 10 in a couple weeks. not so much a baby anymore.. which has been made so abundantly clear when the announcement of "mommy!! im gettin BOOBIES!!" was made "and theyre THIS big!!" while squishing her fingers together a whole quarter of an inch at best, a week or so ago >.<

of oourse.. to celebrate such a nmomentous occaision.. a shopping trip HAD to be ventured upon!

i remember when i took my eldest, now nearly 21, on her bra excursion. it was so very hysterical. the sort of moment every mother just counts the days on for a little bit of payback of embarrasments instigated by our offspring at our expense over the years. not knowing exactly where to find the smaller sect bras.. i absolutely HAD to ask the clerk in a loud and clear voice where to find them. my elder ducked into a clothing rack and refused to come out. she nows looks upon this moment in her childhood with laughter and fondness.

expecting much the same from the littlest of my loins.. we headed off to the wonderful world of wallymart. to my surprise.. while her ears turned the tiniest shade of red only noticeable to one as observant as myself.. she stood her ground. stood proud and tall in fact.. in the efforts to locate what she refers to as "boobie-thingies" no hiding.. no shame.. no embarrassments. i swallowed the lump of pride in my throat as she took the side of the shopping cart and helped me steer where we needed to be. she then proceeded to pour through every style, size, design.. right alongside me scouring to find just the RIGHT ones that she liked.. then we headed to the fitting room to try some on (which my eldest absolutely REFUSED to do LOL) satisfied with her selections.. we hit the check out, paid and she independantly took her bag of grown-up woman wear from the clerk, smiling and saying "thos`re mine!"

we came home.. and she wanted instructions on how to work the contraptions of spandex and fluff. the one with the brightly colored hearts on them she chooses.. and i shows her how they hook. now.. i remember MY first "boobie-thingie" and i was older than she.. and it took me more than 45 minutes to finally give up, turn the thing around backwards, do it up, and then spin it around to slip my arms into the straps to achieve wearage. my girl? she had it on off and back on again, with straps adjusted as well.. in under 5 minutes flat LOL im sure the novelty will wear off when she actually HAS to wear the things.. but for now.. shes prouder than a peacock with herself, and im beaming right alongside her.

how old were you when you ventured on THE shopping trip? do you remember it with fondness and warm & fuzzies? or do you cringe everytime you think of it? how old were yer daughter/s when you took them?

share yer stories happy

My daughter is extremely tall and developed for her age. Her first bra-venture came just after she turned 8. She's JUST under 5 feet tall, and already has woman like features in so many ways, and it's obvious that she will be tall with an athletic build. She was getting embarassed about her kiwis, so I took her out. It was REALLY hard to find them her size.. Small was too small, they never have mediums in stock and large is too much. I managed to find her a tainer set with Hannah Montana and some rock and roll type designs. She too was initially proud, but is still modest about it.


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 233 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

modesty isnt really one of the words id use as a description of my little girl. lol ive never been one to dictate the typical "hide yerself" mentality.. and she really hasnt ever had a difficulty with herself. for that im quite glad of =o)

8 huh? guess ive got it lucky with her being 10 and my eldest at the time.. being 11. lol

I don't even remember when I went. But I took my older daughter last year, it was hilarious. After we determined what fit her, I asked her to pick out colors. She averted her eyes, and with this disgusted look on her face, pointed toward three of them. She made me carry them to the register. :-)

Oh too funny and just goes to show how far WOMEN have come in the last decade eh? LOL
I was a late bloomer. Never needed a bra, still never wear one though, yes I DO have those boobies now! LOL My mother surprised me with my first bra the weekend I graduated from high school. Up until then I wore the regulation navy serge uniform of the nuns, which was so ugly, bras were our last thought. lol But graduation weekend was a big 3 day deal with the grad dance held Friday night after the grad Benediction/Ceremony held in the Cathedral. (Yes, an all girls Catholic school). Anyway, my mother had made my dress. A form fitting, full length shimmery affair with a sweetheart neckline and sleeveless. I loved it and under the disco ball I looked like a dancing rainbow. Problem was the french darts in the front required a proper bust to make the top of the dress look right, and well I just didn't have much of a bust. So mother bought me a padded bra to wear under it. I felt so glamerous and womanly until the cats in my class started making comments about my 'sudden' bustline. After that weekend I took off the bra, burned in the backyard and didn't wear one again until just a few years ago when middle aged droop made it a necessity, and even then I only wear one when I will be in the company of strangers..........


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 233 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

same as you i rarely wear one.. nerve damage along my ribs from pregnancy and broken ones on the other side.. its very very hard to find ones that dont aggrivate the problem and cause me excruiating pain. which suxXxors really cause i miss the power of the boobies.. and after losing 60 pounds, i need alla the power to em i can get LOL

saddens me that those "cats" as you call them had to put a damper on such a magical evening for you. and such a nice memory of yer mom too. i hate females so much some times.. ok.. most of the time


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 30 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

I have a large ribcage for a small person.......having small boobs just makes it worse. All bras look like crap and fit like crap on my anyway, so it's no great loss to me not wear one. I don't have the kind of problems you do, but man oh man wearing one is sooooo uncomfortable and I hate it. As for the cats....yeah women en masse suck big time. lol These days I take them one on one and we pretty much get along fine.


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 233 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

meh.. even one on one.. the typical female will sell her own mother to the ferryman to get at something she wants.


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 882 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

Most are 'catty' for sure.

Actually, sparks was the only female that I ever connected with, cause she was REAL, not a load of crap and falsehoods like the most of em are. Ya know?

I had 1 other best friend from my childhood years before that, but she got married and moved out west cause she wanted out of our small town. She just found me on Facebook a month or two ago and we are catching up. You know, it is strange, we just picked right back up where we left off. Her and sparks are the only two 'girls' I've ever really called a BEST FRIEND in my lifetime. I'm THAT picky.

But now that you are back here.....rasp


myLot reputation of 84/100. sparkofinsanity (3868)   ranked 30 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

Annie.............WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!! You found your original best friend and didn't tell me?!!! I'm devastated.
No, correction......I'm jealous!
And if you believe that I'll sell you my mother for the ferryman. ROFL


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 233 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

whem cam you ever say youve been refferred to as "typical" ?


myLot reputation of 73/100. AnnieOakley1 (2645)   ranked 882 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

She was my 'little girl' best friend. We spent public school together, until I went off to CAS care at 12. Then, we recconnected a little after I got back at 15, but then Mom moved me to the city and didn't spend much time togther again until I got married with the 2nd one, the actual marriage. She was one of my bridesmaids. The 'cat' that I had become friends with whom was my maid of honour for the wedding, still owes me $3,000. angry I met her in group therapy, and that was our ONLY connection. I was HER support system. Always getting awakened in the middle of the night for her panic attacks, and always there to 'help out', the good natured little doorknob I was at the time. dunce cap

The 'maid of honour' tried to contact me several years ago, and I told her she had nerve showing up in my life, wanting to pick back up where we left off and be all 'buddy-buddy' again, when she never even made ANY attempt to pay me back the loan. Because I knew she disappeared from my life when she came into a big cash insurance settlement, and could have paid me back, but partied it all away instead, to make herself 'feel good'. Now that she has used it all up, she wants to be freinds again and expects me to just blindly forgive and forget. NOT! So, I said either start making payments EVERY month or to phuck off. She sent $150, so I talked to her for a bit, a couple of times, but I was still holding the grudge, and distrusting and she never did make good on the rest, so I ditched her pretty quick. She tried again a few years later, and I just told her she had disillusioned and hurt me too badly and I wouldn't believe her lies any longer and hung up. I told her to pay back the ENTIRE loan and then maybe I would consider talking to her, but until then to phuck off. I think she finally got the hint as she has not called back again and that was the first year we moved here, um maybe 6 yrs ago. She tried to 'friend' me on Facebook and I would have none of it. They have an 'ignore' button.

And actually, my childhood girlfriend 'found' me. I wasn't looking to be 'found' at all. She is a real social type (unlike me) and always had lots of friend, yet she looked for ME. I was pretty shocked actually.

And I haven't neglected you in the least, have I? You are still my NUMBER ONE BESTEST FRIEND EVER, sparks and always will be. WE have been through too much together, you and me. We are now a part of each other, FOREVER. You know that, doncha?

hugs

AWWWWWWWW. That is so cute. She is not shy about it then, but so proud. That is just spectacular. "My b00bie-thingy".

Let's see if I can remember that far back, eh? lol

I think I went to the store on my own, with my own money and bought my own first 'booby-thingy' all on my own. I was quite confused with all the selection, but was able to pick out the smallest ones possible. lol I think I was 12 yrs old, and I was feircly independant.


myLot reputation of 58/100. tessah (3120)   ranked 233 out of 4,890 in mother  2 years ago

mine were simply left on my bed without any of my own input as to what they were or anything.. and i was just told "wear these" without any instructions or any "coming of age" nostalgia. one of those times in my childhood i really missed my mom.. and wanted to do things differrently with my own girls.. and have succeeded immensely thumbup

First time I went was 12 years old. I wasn't even that developed. In fact I could have gone a couple more years without any bra but my step mom was just happened to look at me one day, see my nips poking through my shirt and well nips poking through a shirt? Thats just not right so off to the store I went. I can't say the whole business was very thrilling. My girls have hit other areas of puberty but they haven't yet gotten to where they need boobie thingies.

hi tess I was just about the same age when my mom took me to get my first bra and unfortunately we lived in a small town where everyone knew Doc Clark's daughter . so of course my mom being not a bit embarrassed began to loudly tell all the people in the store I needed a training bra, so I sort of hide behind the rack of dresses as the clerk brought out various styles and one color back then they did not make it so much fun, NO warm fuzzies there at all, more like red face,red ears and oh mom please lower your voice, pleaasse.but of cou rse I did live through it. sadly I never got to get a bra for my little daughter as she died at age 8, so unexpectedly andit took me a long time to really recover from that.thumbupthumbup
