But i can't wait until she gets any hair at all! she's still pretty bald. =) My husband thinks it's funny that I'm basic, pretty much a tomboy. I hardly wear make up or do my own hair and yet I can't wait to dress her up into cute little dresses and do different things to her hair. =) My daughter is only seven months so I haven’t yet been able to enjoy this stage.

It's impossbile to keep any secrets with kids in the house. Whether it's a special gift or a snide comment you make about a relative, it'll all come out when children are around (especially little girls)! Ha Ha!

There is a right way and a wrong way. You did it the great way, letting your daughter take control first and offering to step in only if needed. Way to go letting her take charge of her life! I know there was a life lesson in there for her. I would say kids are mean but that doesn’t stop one from taking action. There is a right way and a wrong way.

He came home with bruises. I was pissed, but he didn't want me or his father to speak to the school. He was afraid that it would make it worse. We respected that and he handled it well enough that it ended. He knew he had our support, no matter what the outcome was and I believe that gave him the confidence to stand up for himself. I'm glad your daughter's situation was resolved. Even a woman scorned has nothing on a pissed off mother ;) I have boys, but my oldest was being bullied towards the end of the school year last year.

I had to go back to read the original post. Poor kid! I was on the opposite end at that age...Flat chested! I'm still not the busty, but my best friend bloomed early too. She was 10 with a B cup. She got teased a lot too. She gave it right back to them and she had a friend that would beat the boys up! Me. I was always the defender of the under dog and fighter of bullies. If you picked on anyone, but especially one of my friends, I'd have you by the neck and slammed against the wall before you could blink. The teachers would verbally scold me and then wink as they walked away. I knew they had to do the scolding, but they really approved of handling the bullying myself. I think I would be just as hardass as you say you are if I had daughters. I bet the girls picking on her are flat chested. I wonder, do the boys pick on her? Or snap her bra? My friend got a lot of that back then. On one hand, kids will be kids, but on the other hand, the only way to stop them from being kids and becoming caring adults is to teach them compassion and consideration for others. Good for you!

There don't seem to be any close to where I live now. There's just nothing better than the smell of the apples on a crisp fall day. I always loved going to apple orchards as a kid.
