Welcome back to reality!

do you think I am too strict with my daughter?

Obviously, the original post has resolved itself one way or another, many years ago. However, just in case others in a similar situation happen along and read this: Babysitting at age 12? Before you allow your child to do this, OR hire a 12 year old sitter for the most precious things in your live, good idea to check the laws in your locale. It's illegal in my state, for children under the age of 13 to either babysit (including siblings) or to be left home alone. Of course, that's not a law that's enforced many times, BUT if something were to happen when a 12 year old were left in charge of children, there could be serious legal ramifications (one of which is that the children can be taken away from the parents). Also, no matter how responsible a 12 year old is, are they educated in advanced first aid? Do they know how to recognize and handle a household emergency (do they know how to turn off the water, the electric, how to replace a fuse?) could a 12 year old protect herself and a couple of children if the house were broken into by some grown men while they were there? She certainly couldn't pack the kids into the car if an ER run became necessary. Personally? I'm not a big fan of letting young teens babysit because they don't have the education or life experiences to handle the kinds of situations listed above. The one exception might be, if the young teen were sitting for the next door neighbor, and her mom was home to help if needed.

Thanks everyone! My oldest daughter got some more good news today. She had missed the dead line of a nursing school she really wanted to go to due to having to take a nursing test (TEAS) before applying to the school. I must say it is too bad that every school has different requirements to apply. They called her today and said she could still apply and there is a TEAS test next Thursday. This is for St. Luke's in Kansas City so still close to us and to where my younger daughter is going.

Why are you so bothered by something that happened before you met your husband? You surely don't expect that younger him was going around in 1999 saying to himself, "I'd better not have any relationships in case Alison comes into my life"? And don't you think it must be a terrible shock to his daughter (don't call her "so-called", it's mean spirited) to find out the man she thought was Dad all these years isn't- and it sounds like he might have rejected her into the bargain? Since you live so far apart it's unlikely that this young woman will have much, if any, "impact" on your family unless you choose to make a huge deal out of it. And if your boys do find out about their surprise big sister, use it as a teaching moment that "sometimes we make mistakes/poor choices" and that forgiveness is part of the moral package.

Help designing my daughter’s big girl room
Q

A canopy would work as long as it’s a twin. I love that look and kind of forgot to explore that option!!! And I agree, tall bureaus aren’t ideal but unfortunately it’s my only choice in this room. There’s only wall space for one horizontal dresser and she will really need the extra storage of the two lingerie chests since her closet is tiny. All of our furniture throughout our home is anchored to the wall (she’s our 3rd kid), so that will be a given. This won’t be her forever room, so trying to make do for the next five or so years until we either move or build an addition. I absolutely adore those drawer pulls 😍 thank you SO much for the recommendation!

Good photos Diana! You are a real knockout in that pretty dress. Is that the one you had made for you?
Your daughter is lovely too. I'm sure you had a wonderful time there.

Diana, you're both beautiful, and I love those "tropical" dresses.

What a wonderful time you both had. Somehow I know that if I went with Ashley, she'd spend all her money shopping too, LOL.

Yes Nancy we did go a Laua. That is where we were when the pics were taken....
The Laua was at the "Royal Hawaiian" and that is where we stayed. It was just wonderful there. The best part was waking up in the morning and looking out onto the water and seeing the "Surfers" come in....
We had a Great Vacation !!!

Diana!!! You look beautiful and so happy to be with your daughter in Hawaii. Hey, ya think if I bring my daughters to Hawaii that I'll look as good as you? Off to make the reservations. LOL!

One of my favorite things to do when we were in CA on vacation was to wake up early, sit on the balcony, drink my coffee and watch the surfers.

Wow, I had no idea there was such a looker hiding behind your name. Do you remember an actress from the 50's named Connie Stevens? You remind me of her, in her youth. Not that I can remember the 50's.....

Hoo-hah! I didn't open this thread because I thought it was the other one with the skellies!

The dress turned out great and you look wunderbar in it! I visited the Royal Hawaiian when I was there awhile back - Waikiki was still decorated for Christmas and all th hotels were decked out - so pretty. I love the view of Diamond Head from there.

Your daughter must've had a blast watching all the tanned young kahunas!

Looking good! You know there's a webcam at Duke's statue don't you? Did you wave at us?

Here is a link that might be useful: Duke's webcam (what's with no more direct linking in the thread?!!)

You can still link. That link calls a program -- that's not allowed.

I'd agree, but it wouldn't let me link from thread on GardenWeb to another right before this post. It wasn't program related in any way. ???????

Gina....Yes my little "Miss" had her eyes on one of the dancers in the Laua. He looked like a young Elvis Presley. I couldn't help staring at him myself. I've been told that I looked like Debbie Renolds, but not Connie Stevens. ROFLMAO !!!! Diana55
