I spent hours (litterally) last night talking with Lil BEG about a guy that she thinks that she's IN LOVE with. :smitten:
The biggest problem we (me and her dad) have is she's 14 and a Freshman and he's 17 and a Senior. :no:
I let her go on and on about him and how kind he is and how he walks around with her and they eat luch together and when a fight breaks out in the hallway (often at AHS) he gets her away from it (protector type).
After she was somewhat finished, I tried my best to explain the 'conquest' that she could be for a young man.
She then through me totally off guard and said 'Well I think I'm gonna talk with him and let him know how I feel and ask him not to forget about me and see if he'll come back for me in the future.' WOW!!! :eek:
She then added,'If it's true love it'll work out, right?' :confused:
I told her that was a lot to ask out of someone. She turned it on me in a dime - that's what you are doing - right? :eek: :eek:
Side note: This is a conversation that I know would have NEVER occurred if me and her dad were still together. She is now so much more open with me. :smile:
That's actually pretty good. My girls have been more open with me too, about their feelings on many issues since me and him split. Not a good thing for me and him, but it's a good thing for me and my girls.
awsome kid, that lil beg!!.....keep on being there for her, but don't be afraid to be Mom and be in charge...they need SOME freedom, but still need a whole bunch of guidence....for what it's worth......your a good mom, BEG! :smile:
Oh and I forgot to tell y'all that Lil BEG asked for a Purity ring for Christmas. She had a cheap one and it broke (the hands came apart this summer) and she wants a replacement even though she's getting her class ring in December. She said that the class ring goes on the right hand and the purity ring goes on the left hand.
:smile:
Sunny whispers to BEG: What is a purity ring?
Lil BEG explains it like this.... her dad will place it on her finger and she will remain a virgin until her wedding day (or maybe engagement ring) and when her dad gives her away the ring is then taken off and he hands her over to her fiancee. It's a nice concept, but hard to do. She's wanting to go through the test.
To me it's a sign to the boys with raging hormones to not pursue her sexually. If a boy dates her, he will know her point of view about being sexually active. She's not ready!
