New Years and Loss

So I've been sort of dreading New Year's (along with Christmas too, but at least that's over) this year because we recently lost my 16 year old niece to suicide in August. She was battling mental illness and has been very depressed for many years. I've mostly been keeping it together but to be honest, after reading another question on the forum today I can't seem to pull myself together and stop crying. My brother has been raising her but she was like a child to me, her mother hasn't been in the picture her entire life and I'll spare you...

Thinking About Weaning

I am thinking of weaning my 12 month old daughter. I don't really mind that she is still nursing but it is embarassing when we are in public and she pulls on my shirt. Also, I feel bad when friends and family say, "You're not still nursing, are you?" When do I know when is the right time? Should I wait for her to stop on her own or stop when I feel ready? She is only nursing once or twice during the day and twice at night. The day nursings would be easy to break but I am very worried about the night nursings because it helps get her back to...

Unmotivated 16 Year Old

My 16 year old daughter is very smart, but is very unmotivated to complete her school work, therefor seems to be running a C average in almost everything. I speak to her teachers who say she 'drifts off' in class. She often gets zeros for homework she 'does not feel like doing'. I realize a C average is not the end of the world, but I know she is capable of more and would like her to be able to go to college. I have taken away privliges, offered incentives, etc, and she says she will do better, and may for a very short time, then its back...

Frustrated with Kindergarten Already!

During kindergarten roundup, my daughter's new teacher told us that they focus a large part of their time on writing stories. They don't care about spelling, the letters being written correctly, or even if they write any letters on the paper at all as long as they can tell the teacher the story they have "written." The teacher went on to say that her ability to read (she is currently reading at a 3rd grade level and has been spelling small words since 2)is going to be a detriment to her story writing - that since she knows that words...

16 Year Old Inappropriate Dress Wear.

Here is my problem. I have a 16 year old daughter who continueously wears inappropriate clothing. I am too the point where I have accepted the really tight shirts with semi-low neck lines and will allow her to wear as such, but the unfortunet thing is that she does not have the body for it. She is tall with slender legs and lengthy arms, but has a protruding middle that makes her look pregnet at times. How do I explain to her that she looks rediculous without causing her to go into a depression and end up with an eating disorder. Other...
