Today, I'm going to post Elohelae's 'blog here for you to see. He raises a vaild point in regards to reality - he's a single parent who is trying to raise his newly-minted teenage daughter safely. Problem is, in today's world, kids grow up way too damn fast.
Where's Mr. Dressup and Mr. Rogers when you need them?
I have a 13 yr old daughter of whom I believe I could write everyday about her activities. I believe it would be therapy as there are times I feel like stuffing her in a box and forgetting to feed her…
Take today…I have a firewall and software designed to stop kids from getting to websites they are not supposed to. It limits their time and does the parental things I should be doing. I have other kids, a life and I require to feed them once in a while so I cannot be at the computer all the time.. (excuse over)
She got past the firewall.
I began to get copied on emails where she was on Myspace. She took a picture of herself which showed off her cleavage. I checked the site and saw the comments by the other horny 13 yr old boys and figured my blood was about to boil. I realized that even though I wanted to, I could not kill every teenage boy in the neighborhood. On her cell phone I saw a text from a guy called Jesse. She was telling him that she was working in vegas next weekend, so not to call her. After digging, I found out that Jesse lived close to us and that my precious teen was 13 pretending to be 19. So I called the Jesse character, who, according to his website, was 19 also.
I spoke to some young kid who told me Jesse was working, I then said 'well, is this his home', at which point the kid said, 'Ill get my mommy.' "Mommy" was delighted to learn that her 13 yr old son, Jesse was on myspace and conversing with my daughter.
Tell me people, what is the cure for teenagers? She is in lockdown. I missed my date tonight with my baby and wont see her until Friday because of this.
Anyway, it could have been worse, but damnit she is 13… just frickin 13 arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
So, there it is. Feel free to reply here with your suggestions. Or you can go to his 'blog and reply there. http://www.elohelae.com/
My first question right now is ... how much cleavage does a 13 year old have?? I've met a couple pretty voluptuous pre-teens, but it was a rare occurrance - or so I thought. Too much steroids in the meat and fertilizer in the vegies, I guess. Makes you wonder what a good dose of pest control will do ... :)
Anyway, I just wanted to share that. Some of you have daughters who are going to be 13 soon enough, and others may have gone through this already and may be able to offer help.
For myself, I will be replying soon in regards to the questions inthe previous entry ... I'm thinking about the challenges. I don't know how Lynne came up with all hers!
It's been a tough week so far ... and it's going to get tougher. I've got seven days to get everything else packed and ready to go. I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the stress that I'm going through here. I'm trying very hard to stick with work for as long as Pepper is still there. She's MY horse. As much as she can be without me actually owning her. She loves me to bits and I won't leave without her. Just one more race left. Dragonlady said she might be able to get her in soon. (Maybe too soon?) Dragonlady ... gawds! I had a yelling match with her today. She was in a bad mood and I was having a bad day. Not a good mix. I almost quit. Pepper hugged me and I got my priorities adjusted again. I'm not leaving until Pepper does.
There's so much that needs to be done and no time to do it because I swear I'm at work for most of the time. Then there's the riding lessons on Monday nights. Relaxing in a way, but it will be a while before I come out of it without a sore tooshie. I'm not eating properly and I'm not getting any sleep. The little I do get isn't very high quality either. Not relaly restful, at all. I need to relax but I can't even if I had the time. I just don't know how.
I'm gonna go and watch some anime after I do dishes. That always cheers me up. I'll pack some boxes in a bit.
Sweet Dreams!
