Re: The Intimate 5th/6th Graders
Nothing worse than a person who is not a mother (or even an adult) trying to give broad advice to people who are.
insan - 17 and a teacher? Hmmm smarts, good, then you should know to give pratical examples. Just saying change your enviroment to all mothers without 1) knowing the enviroment or even saying which enviroment you are speaking about and 2) not saying how is not helping anyone.
Another point is -- a mother can never "mix" with her kids. I tell my kids all the time, I will never be your friend, I am your mother first, I care more than a friend and I do things to keep you alive first not happy. Once I see you are alive and safe, then I will work on happy.
