One thing I want to mention about dragging the stuffed animals and blankies along is the danger of losing them. Steven lost his blanket and stuffed simba doll on the move between Colorado and Texas. I had to buy a new Simba doll on ebay to match for $102. He was satisfied with a new baby blanket as long as it was the same color and had the same border (I just told him the old one looked like that when it was new) ;D

Oh Karen, I know I always worried my mom. Heck I still do. I do the impulsive thing, but because mom and dad blessed me with the common sense that you only have one life, live it right, cause I won't always be able to be bailed out.
I still make stupid mistakes that Mom makes sure to tell me about, and yes, I still take it to heart. Being 30 now, well, to be honest with you, if your dd is true to herself, you'll need to worry less. I know, mom's never stop worrying, but it can only be realized when she wants to realize it. Sometimes you have to force her to take her medicne-no pun intended- other times you have to watch her learn on her own accord.
She'll make it, it just might take time. There is a world of difference between me and my sister, but I'm happy that mom and dad let me make my own mistakes. Some of the mistakes they said I've made, have been a blessing in diguise.
Off the box and to work----who wants to go to work for me today? Kaiti ;D

Thanks rosyred, she is making mistakes on her own in part because she won't let me help. guess that's probably a good thing! she is a bright kid but has sort of fallen apart the last couple of years. we've been waiting around to find out if we move back to GA where she was born. i think that's had an impact as well. our deadline is this summer so decision should help when it's finally made. it's just the mistakes can be so life altering at this age and don't want to see her do something she'll pay for the rest of her life. thanks for the input. it helps to know kids really can make it thru the other side safely! karen

My Ds9 is immature. He gets along better with kids inthe 6-7yr. old range. He doesn't seem to get what is going on with his peers, or he misunderstands what they are syaing. I know this is a problem with Adhders but I hope he can catch up. Kids are so cruel sometimes. On the bright side he doesn't always realize they are being mean. Christina

Christina, I am always blessed each day that I DON"T see the kids taking offense to things. I know it sounds stupid, but think of it as water off a ducks feathers, it comes naturally. I do the same thing, and you know what, it saves my sanity. Really it does. I don't worry about what others think, if I did.......man, I'd be in trouble. ;D
Take care, don't worry. As soon as things are realized, that's when we learn Kaiti
