Training Bras: Growing up

» Tricia_S - Growing up

You're a riot! I'm sorry that your growing up years were so awful. Come to think of it so were mine, but it wasn't because of a training bra. It was because kids are quite simply MEAN to other kids.

My ten year old daughter loves her half-undershirts. No one prodded her, she asked for them and since I bought them at Walmart, they are cheap enough that if she doesn't like them, she can throw them away. She gets teased at school sometimes because she likes to wear skirts, not the other way around. But she decides each morning what to wear - I'm not a dictator.

As to talking too loud in public, I couldn't tell you how many times I've told my boy and my girl, "You're talking too loud." It's not to curb their enthusiasm but to be courteous to those around us. My kids know (because I tell them) that not everything is about them. And they try to be thoughtful to others.

As to the MEAN kids, I tell my kids to stay away from them and do their best to be nice. So far it's working.

I really enjoyed your article, but hardly agree with any of it.

I hope I didn't offend you with any of my comments.
