My 12 year old (who thinks she is 18) is about driving me nuts. I can remember going thru the stages she is when I was about 14-15 years old. Constantly fighting over clothing, makeup, chores, etc. She wants to wear the clothing...

gypsylady28 We have tried talking to her, and we have taken away the t.v., computer, etc. She doesn't really seem to care. We have come up with agreements, plans, etc. and they start out good the first day or two, and then she gives up on it.

gypsylady28 I started playing flute when I was 10 also. But after high school, I sold it and never thought about it again. When I was about 23 I started piano lessons, and have always had a keyboard or piano somewhere in the house. I've always loved music, but flute...

Our daughter who is 12 has decided she wants to be "Goth". I've told her no, that until she buys her own clothing, she doesn't have a choice about it. She says "Goth" just means the clothes you wear, but I'm not so sure about...

gypsylady28 I don't think it is her wanting to be an individual, as much as trying to fit in or impress the other kids. I was into reading about vampires and the such when I was younger, but I never did the all black clothing. I can remember painting my nails black, and...

gypsylady28 That sounds like the gothic culture I grew up with. But as I hear more and more about what the "Goth" teens in the area are into, I'm kinda worried about it. She came home telling me that the girls who have talked to her about it say they worship the devil. I...

gypsylady28 We are having a problem with the lies also. It is hard to tell what is truth and what is a lie anymore. Ours always got good grades also, but she is bring home c's, d's, and f's. The teacher says she is more concerned about socializing during class and chasing...

I used to have a problem with my next door neighbour, when he was in his late teens. He used to do car maintanance late at night, & run the engine full pelt, which is very loud. As my child was very young then, I was concerned...

gypsylady28 We have always had pretty good neighbors, but we have new neighbors on one side of us and already they have upset me. Me and my hubby have caught their 12 year old son about 5 times looking in our daughter's window. I used to work with the woman, so she keeps...

Are you comfortable working alone? Or do you prefer have people around while your are working? Well, I'm posting this because I, myself, am not very comfortable working with many people around me. I can concentrate better with...

gypsylady28 I can work either way. The only thing that upsets me is if someone makes a mess in my area. So I wouldn't mind working on my own so I didn't have to clean up after others. LOL I get enough of that at home, it gets tiring doing it at work also. But I just stay...

Okay doesn't sound like a big deal but in over the last 11 and a half years he has never been without a moustache. This is the first time he has done it since I've known him. (It makes him look 10 years younger) He turned 40 a...

gypsylady28 My hubby turned 40 in July and we already had a few episodes of "mid-life crisis" like behavior. Nothing major though. My husband also wears a moustache, but I do talk him into shaving it off every once in awhile.

I'm a little embarrased to admit that I have yet to jump on this bandwagon. I do get red in the face when friends whip out theirs or else ask me about mine. I'm never one to go with fads just to belong, that is until the Ipod came...

gypsylady28 No, your not the only one. I have my pc at home, a cd player in the car, and a cd/cassette player at home. I figure I really don't need an ipod to carry around. And I also feel that they are overpriced. I wouldn't buy one for my kids in fear that they would...

gypsylady28 My son had went to preschool 3 days a week, so it wasn't too hard for him or me when he started Kindergarten. He was all excited and ready to go, but I was a little apprehensive. He seemed so small, and the school was so big. I was worried he would get lost or...

gypsylady28 I agree with you on this, the men usually do not get the blame they deserve. But when I was single, if I thought a man was handsome or the such, if I heard he was married, I was no longer interested. We had a friend of the family recently decide that she...
