Anything I absolutely don't approve of does not end up in their closet or dresser drawers. They do have some short shorts that I don't care for but know they are for only around home. And snug leggings must be worn under a skirt or long, cover the butt t-shirt. Off the shoulder tops must have a top underneath them. Not to say they don't try to break the rules sometimes but for the most part not bending the rules helps. Good luck. I'm battling the stay up later on weekends battle right now and having THE talk with the 11 year old who is in grade 5 and taking puberty in health class! It never ends.

My mother had dementia when she died, and I agree anything which brings joy , which connects is extremely important. Thank goodness the Blue Jays were that connection for your Mum. I've been a Blue Jays fan since 1985, and now I live two blocks from the Rogers Centre where they play.

You read the scientific literature, you listen to the experts and then you make your own decisions because no one else knows your child like you do. I'm glad she's got you for a mom!But I'm sure the going gets tough with all you've got on your plate so give yourself a pat on the back!Helen LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528262181247308062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835599980644205378.post-21876644159754430342012-05-07T11:53:14.815-04:002012-05-07T11:53:14.815-04:00I wish so much that I lived closer, Lisa, so that ...I wish so much that I lived closer, Lisa, so that we could trade of "Kids" and give each other a break. Either that or dump them off with someone else and go take a break together!<br /><br />I love how well you know the Kid. When Bear was exhibiting a huge amount of school-based anxiety a while back I had a deal with him that he would only go to school every second day. Our counsellor thought I was nuts and told me she was worried it would backfire -- until it worked. Then she admited that I was the expert in my child and was happy I had followed my instincts.<br /><br />Keep following your instincts. You are the Kid's biggest fan and her safe place to land. That is your job, and you do it well.<br /><br />Hugs to you and the Kid.Laura @ The ODD Momhttp://theoddmom.blogspot.ca/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1835599980644205378.post-91995153321119744222012-05-07T11:11:50.927-04:002012-05-07T11:11:50.927-04:00Hats off to you, Lisa.
