Hi gang! Hope everyone is well and I have missed you all. So let me tell you why I've been away. I am adopting a 13 year old girl named Hannah, and she has been living here just one week now. Things are going well and she's a great kid. Today she had her first hair cut in 2 years, and is elated to look her age instead of 10. Oh boy! am I in trouble! She is beautiful, and the boys are going to go nuts! She has started middle school this week, 7th grade, and so far, she's liking it.

There is such a lot of red tape and requirements for this, but it will all be so worth it. This is my one shot at having a family of my own, I can't believe things have worked out so well, and just when I was thinking of giving up on the idea. Cancer took away my chance of having a family in the usual way, but this may be what was meant to be. I'm going to do everything I can to make a good home for her and help her grow up strong and happy. Wish me luck! A teenager!

I am impressed. That's awesome. Everything will work out Jeri. You'll be an excellent mom!! I'm sure she is a very lucky girl to have you

Aurora's 12, too. Perhaps they can become Internet penpals... Congratulations and I hope everything goes swimmingly!

Well, I spend here and I'm glad to see a bit of picspam ^^
Everybody okay?

Jeri, I'm happy for you, this is great new, you'll be happy together, I'm sure you'll be a good mother and do not worry teenagers are not necessarily difficult

Why not?

Can anyone here recommend me "Torchwood - Mirical Day"? German free TV shows it this weekend and maybe I´ll program my DVD recorder?

I liked it, but to me it did not have enough of Captain Jack and Gwen.

I still sort of remember those teen years, I hope. At least you and Duval are not too far away from those days, you can advise me if I get confused.

That's a great thing to do!


myhelix is here and we're having lots of fun so far. Today we visited a friend of mine who has a castle. And of course we've watched a RC movie yesterday.

I'd be happy to help you ^^
you give her your love for RC ?
Hannah could become a new member of the thread

Sure, if you want

I can still remember what I wanted as a teenager and I use this with my kids at school.

1. Treat them as an equal but maintain authority.
2. Don't punish unless you're prepared to answer why. Kids are always going to want to know why. Try to answer in a way they will understand.

(You'd be surprised how well this works with my students. We have this one little girl who is a rolling ball of attitude and doesn't really respect the other teachers but I get no attitude when I have to talk to her... none of the eye rolling, frustration noises, none of it.)

3. Always keep reminding her that you have her best interests in mind and you're not being mean, you're just looking out for her because you love her.

I hope this helps...

Yes, this is something I find is key. She has a tendency to try to control situations, but I find she is appeased if she is told the reasoning behind the "no".

Right now, I am struggling with finding the right mix of foods. She is so picky, but I'm learning not to give too many choices, or sometimes no choice and she will eat what we have. I think she is changing her tastes, but still has the little child attitude "not gonna like it". But it all could just be a test to see what I'll do.

Great news, RC fans! I am going to see California Solo this afternoon in Sacramento. It's about 1 1/2 hour drive, but an easy drive. Can't wait!

I have a 1st grader who's already like that. She wants to be in control of everything and she drove me crazy all summer. It's kind of hard when they're eager to take initiative because that can be a good quality down the road but they need to learn the difference between taking initiative and being a control freak. I think kids that are like that have had to deal with a lot a chaos in their lives so they want to be in charge so they know what's going on.
