    There's a kind of inappropriate emotional closeness, it can be subtle sexualization, substitution of a child for a partner, or emotional intimacy inappropriate to a child.. Anyway, it seems that the woman writing about when she was ten and her mother confided her husband's affair to her and then expected her to simply ''forget'' it or ''get over ...

  • Are we overreacting?

    Puberty being activated is not an indication that girls are ready to look for mates. The girls bodies and minds are not ready to reproduce and they are not prepared to make adult decisions about the risks of sex. False advertising about sexuality is risky. Women who are taught at a young age that men are the whole reason for being are hardly ...

  • Who pulls the trigger? You?

    Thanks Prudie for the insigh into you twisted little mind. I really do mean little too.

  • Agreed

    While it may be true that skimpy fashion has existed for young girls in the past, I would have to say that the fashion industry has taken it beyond what it used to be. The word pre-teen first started in the 60s...but it seems that the fashion industry and the media have hyperbolized that stage of life so much, that people in that age group begin ...

  • Annoyed Youth

    I completely agree with MotherofTwo's post about Prudence's response to this letter. So what if the writer is oviously less younger than most of her readers. I myself am a high school senior and will be graduating in less then a month, does that mean if I sent in a letter to her asking for advise that she would basicly tell to grow up and that ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • Re: playing favorites

    The daughter needed that 'attitude adjustment' a long time before she turned 13! You let her get away with telling you that she hated you from when she started talking? Either find out why she hates you or take a switch to her sitting end... Waiting until she's a 13 year old is too late to start training her. You might as well settle for her ...

  • Some Islamic Wisdom on Prudie's Comments

    Regarding the fiancee who refuses to be naked at night as long as there are children in the home: Islam addressed this matter 1400+ years ago. This is one translation of the Quran regarding this topic: 24:58 O ye who believe! Let your slaves, and those of you who have not come to puberty, ask leave of you at three times (before they come ...
