ausgirl, completly agree, great post.

Imagine having to "doll up" to be pretty or accepted, at 12!!! sad really.....

Frantelle, noone is saying anything to the parents, this is just our opinion. And I stand by mine. Its what i believe.

Onyx....

I worry that you cant stop making your kids "older" once you start.. if your treating a 12 like 16, how do you then slow it down?
Do you one day say, "Now we have to stop, go back to acting your age for a few years, then we'll get back on track"..?? You cant ask them to act much older, then expect them to stop going at that rate.. I've seen disasterous results...

I'm tying to slow mine down, not speed them up!!!
