Stbx called this morning to see how kids were doing since they had no school today.<BR>So I told her I didn't "feel" that she was being fair to me or our daughter in asking about the N.Y.E. party.<P>She immediately got all defensive and said she didn't know about the party, and why couldn't she come anyhow, how come I got to decide what the kids were doing.<P>I explained to her that she had left the family and that this was a family thing, so why would I invite her.<P>She said she just wanted to spend some time with the kids but she didn't know if she had to work or not. I told her she could stop at midnite and she said thats all she wanted to do anyhow.<P>So I told my daughter tonite and the party is back on. I don't think my stbx siad anything to her as she had promised.<P><BR>And just in case, you thought things might get better today ! Then tonite my daughter just had to go get her mother to fix her hair. So I had to run her to the hospital, and in to see her mother, I made my son go too, and I just waited in the waiting room and didn't even see her.<P>And then the topper, when we got home , my daughter asked if I had a razor. I asked what for. She wants to use it, TO SHAVE HER LEGS!!<P>Do 12 yo need to shave their legs?????????????????????<BR>I told her to speak with her mother and she asked what for ?????????<BR>I don't know if she is catching on to her mothers act or not ?<P>Wish me luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RWD...<P>Thank God... I'm still 5 years away from my D getting to 12... but because she's into ballet... jazz... tap... it may hit me quicker than 12... Oh boy....<P>Jim

I am laughing so hard the people in the other room are looking at me funny!<P>Tell her to wax them... hehee Then they get thinner instead of thicker, and after 5 years of pulling them out... Hmmmm where are they going... YES they have quit growing back mostly!!!! I wish I would have started at the beginning with wax.... no stubbles <P>cozy<P>Oh, by the way... I know I was 12 when I started shaving... The buddy came at 13 <P>

Hey Cozy - Really....with waxing they stop growing after a time? <P>I didn't know that....what do you buy?<P>Do you have to go to a salon for that?<P>Yeah, I know - I have no clue about this...just an old fashioned razor girl and know nothing about this new-fangled stuff!!!! EDUCATE ME PLEASE - I hate shaving!!!!<P>Sorry RWD, but this is important stuff here!!!! Definitely have her start with the wax then!!!!<P>HUGS,<P>Sheba <P>PS - NSR, you never know when things will pop up.....my "buddy" came at 9!!!<BR>Oooooh, did I just scare you? Sorry, but it's best to be prepared...I didn't know anything and thought I was dying - very scary!!!!
