Anyone got Bosnian uppers?
First, I got about two hours of sleep last night, so don't hold me accountable for any weirdness.
Here are some random questions. Some are advicey, others are Q&A-y, and I'm very -y today. :)
My 16 year old daughter is going to a school dance with her friends and my 12 year old wants to go too. The elder is saying she just wants to be with her friends, what should I do?
Neither one of the girls is going to be happy if she goes, because the youngest is going to realize pretty quickly she's the xth wheel when the friends leave her out of conversations, and/or the oldest is going to spend the whole time watching her sister. If they even let her into the dance, which I doubt they will? A twelve year old doesn't need to go to a high school dance.
I wonder if it's really the twelve year old sister who posted this... that would actually make more sense. Then again, I know parents who make me go "do you really not remember what it was like when you were Logan's age?"
How old are you and what do you think of Gen Z?
36, and mostly I'm disappointed when I see Gen Zers with intolerant beliefs. My hope is that there's still time for them to break from what they were taught at home, because I'm sure that's a huge part of it. I know a nineteen year old who voted for Trump, and it breaks my heart because I've known him since he was five, and just... why? But being nineteen also means there's time for him to learn.
I'm not saying this is common for Gen Z. I don't think that's the case at all. It's just a side point. There are also a lot of Gen Zers who are doing great things, and I think that's awesome.
And yeah, I know they're all laughing at my parted hair and skinny jeans. Oh well. :)
Mostly I think people are people, and generational labels are often way too simplified.
When a guest leaves your home, do you stand outside your house until they leave?
I was just thinking about that. I live in an apartment, so generally I don't, but I've wondered whether I should be doing that. If it matters, I live in a low-rise complex (meaning you just walk out, pretty much - there's a short hallway and that's it).
When you were a teen, how important was the phone in your daily life?
I was far from being a cliche teenage girl who was always hogging the phone, but it was fairly important.
What are some good telephone-themed songs?
There's only one answer, isn't there?
Stop calling, stop calling I don't wanna talk anymore...
