[QUOTE="4sumrzn, post: 160972, member: 4133"] in my opinion...I would have to say something about the skimpy clothes. It's bad enough that children are as cruel as they are & can damage each other. I realize she is trying to get the attention, but the negative attention by being made fun of is just not worth it. So, communication about the whole clothes issue is probably a must. We all know that no matter what the size, everyone is beautiful & it's very hard to convey that message to teens. Understandable. I'm sure there isn't an easy way to show her that she can wear weight appropriate clothing & still "catch" the attention. The 2nd question. Plain & simple for me. People always get confused apon meeting my family. I spent most most of my years growing up with my Dad & step-mom. They always introduced us kids as "their 5 kids", even though we were step. We, as children, always said "my Mom & Dad" (even though I do not call her her Mom directly). Mainly over the past 5 years....people say "there is no way that is your Mother". I say "yes she is". Every once in awhile (like last week)...someone pushes the issue. I have to basically shut them up & say...."I have TWO Moms". They get their "Ah Ha" moment & it's over. So, maybe work with that as far as wee difficult child is concerned. As far as husband? I think he she be able to answer with a flat out YES, this is my son ;) [/QUOTE]
