i know i am one in a billion parents who share this same sentiment, but what can i do to stop this?
to tell the truth, i have guilt every morning i send parker to school. guilt because i send her to school (doesn't becoming a mom mean i signed up for everything involved in child-rearing? shouldn't i be teaching her myself?), and guilt because i'm happy that i can send her to school every day.

anyway, i don't know what the answer is or even what my point is... but why must my six-year old know who justin bieber is?

well, she's almost 7, you know....
ask her if she wants me to take her to the never say never movie. in 3d. i'm willing.
Oh Robin, be happy you don't even know how quickly it gets crazy. Ramona is 9 now and almost everyday is begging for a cell phone because everyone in her class has one. And the scary thing is she's not exaggerating. Even the other kids ask me when we're going to let her get one. She's 9!! The thought of dealing with that and a newborn baby at the same time seems way too crazy. There's definitely something to be said for not spreading the kids out too much.
oh man, i'm scared.
You can just do what my mom did and brainwash her to love the musical Cats and Cher. I was totally uninterested in Brittany Spears and the like.
Honestly though, having only graduated from high school three years ago, yes, she will grow up faster than she should; unfortunately that's unavoidable. But with a mom like you who is actually concerned about this (and many of them aren't) she'll be able to be her own person.
I hear ya! I feel the same way.
um, yeah. emberly came home today and properly used the word "frenemy", describing the relationship between two of her friends.
.......
That makes me very nervous...! I know it is only a matter of time before Scott and Madeline come home talking about stuff like that. Today Madeline was in tears because she decided when she woke up this morning she wanted me to go get her ears pierced right after school, which was just not possible with our schedule. Why do they have to grow up so fast?!
Also, we are doing good here in WA. The sun was shining out today, so that is always a plus. And no rain today.:) And I think if Dylan and Ollie still lived by each other they would be great friends. Love keeping up with your blog and trying not to envy your beautiful weather.:):) Hope all is wonderful for you guys.
oh boy. yes, this is a tough one. Such a bitter sweet part of motherhood. The first time I heard Maggie singing along to Taylor Swift I was sure that meant she'd be sneaking out her bedroom window to meet up with guys by the time she turned 9. Suprisingly enough, no harm done. good luck adjusting... that's all I have for you.
i'm not a mother.
but that's gotta be hard!! she's almost 7? what? does that mean i came to visit you in salinas almost 7 years ago?
I guess it would depend on what order she put those words in. Was it justin and selena suck?
i can't believe little Parker is growing up.
it would've been worse if you had just thought justin and selena were friends from school.
you're still the cool mom.
that doesn't suck.
oh i think its all so normal!!! lindsey came home last year from SECOND GRADE saying she'd heard a bad word on the bus. i said spell it for me. it began with F.... i suppose the bubble is popped sometime but their innocence is so sweet. and luckily they spend a lot of time home being kids still so school is not their only influence but why oh why can't they stay sweet and young forever.
last summer lena came up with a really funny plan to whisper a secret in my ear.
the secret? hanna montana.
that's all she said.
she must know i hate her. i hate school, but mine wasn't even in school yet. all we really need to do is turn on the damn disney channel or go to target.
no tv? hmmm
no target? well that's just plain crazy.
i am totally with you though. totally with you.
