Lol.  That's what my father used to call them.  My husband says boulder 
holders.  I could kill him for that.

>> My vote is that she needs a mom or mom-like figure. Or, she needs a big

>> I'd also want to know if she is engaging in cutting, or if she is just

>> Me, I wouldn't be so quick to punish. Sounds to me like she's got a lot

>> with that, so long as she isn't hurting herself, and so long as she has
>> an appropriate adult or adults to share with.
>> I also wouldn't punish for lying, sounds like you two are engaging in
>> one way transmissions v. discussions, and that method clearly isn't

>> Also, if she likes farms, I'd see if she can volunteer at one outside of
>> this trip. Time outdoors with animals is wonderful in a variety of ways.
>> She'll also meet people who can help guide her through her teen years.
>> Me, I'd let her go, and work on getting some women in her life. Sounds
>> to me like she needs that more then punishment.

>> Background:
>>
>>
>>
>> My daughter has had a great interest is woman supplies even before
>> needing
>> them, she is 8.75 years old will be 9 in February. And she has been
>> firmly
>> told it isn't time, for razors, shaving, lotions, etc.
>>
>>
>>
>> Even before needing to ware bras I would catch her sneaking them from
>> school
>> from other little girls to ware them and be cool I guess. She now wares
>> a
>> double a so that isn't an issue anymore so it's this razor thing.
>>
>>
>>
>> A couple of days ago I found a razor cap on the bathroom floor. Being I
>> don't shave I instantly walked up to her asking her where the razor was
>> that
>> I suspected she had and she very much denied even knowing of one's
>> existences. I left it at that and we went on, although I always thought
>> she
>> was just lying and I find it sooner or later, I always do and she always
>> gets caught.
>>
>>
>>
>> So, tonight looking in the medicine cabinet looking for something for my
>> ear, I found the razor, it's a disposable razor just like the one
>> matching
>> the cap I found on the floor a couple of days ago.
>>
>>
>>
>> My problem:
>>
>> I always let my daughter know why she is being punished, and then I
>> asking
>> her to fully explain to me so I know she understands why she is being
>> punished.
>>
>>
>>
>> Today she is scheduled to go to a field trip to a farm and she is really
>> looking forward to it. Should I keep her home for a form of punishment?
>> The
>> entire school day is being spent at the farm so if I keep her home she
>> would
>> be only missing out on the farm. Or do you recommend any other forms of
>> punishment.
>>
>>
>>
>> Please do understand we have talked, over and over and over about
>> wanting to
>> grow up too fast, it has nothing to do with her not knowing. Its her not
>> listening, and lying about it when confronted with the evidence.
