Double Standards

DEAR KITTY

HOW OLD DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST AGE TO LET MY SON DATE?  MY HUSBAND AND I DO NOT AGREE.  I ALWAYS THOUGHT 16 IS A GOOD AGE AND DEPENDING ON GRADES AND BEHAVIOR AND RESPONSIBILITY.  MY HUSBAND SAYS THAT 14 IS FINE FOR BOYS AND 16-18 FOR GIRLS.  THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT I HAVE A DAUGHTER TWO YEARS YOUNGER AND THINK IT NEEDS TO BE THE SAME RULES AND GUIDELINES.  MY SON IS 14 AND A FEW MONTHS OLD.  I THINK ITS JUST TOO MUCH FOR THAT AGE.  WHAT MESSAGE DOES THIS SEND MY 12 YEAR OLD?

DEANA

Dear Deana,

I think it's a personal choice with parents.  I think the longer the wait the better and at the same time that if you make the kids wait too long, they will never learn to bring the boys or girls home to meet you etc in the future.  The rules for boys and girls have been off for as long as I can remember.  I guess girls should just be glad that they will one day be able to vote,work and take care of most things at home.  Lucky them.  Oh and we get to grow the babies and deliver them too.  I grew up where the rules were not the same.  I can tell you that in my experience it is a bad idea.  Although, again like I said, it's a personal choice.  Who the fuck am I to tell you how to raise your kids.  I think that the root is more about you and your husband rather than what is best age wise to date.  The fact that you have had these kids for over 12 years and are not on the same page about this makes me wonder why this was never discussed.   Kids will find ways to do what they want.  As they hit puberty it's best to be fair and consistent   There is no handbook.  I really would enjoy telling you what I think about it all but that isn't fair.  When the Manalopes and Bitchachos write in about parenting or asking for parenting advice I immediately go back and forth with myself as to whether to even give replying a go.  I would not want anyone to tell me how to parent the Kitten.  I know you are asking for the advice soooo...here is the best I have.

Talk to your husband and get on the same page.  The kids seeing you standing on two islands vs united is going to cause you both way more problems than just what age they should date.

This is fundamental shit.  Get this locked down ASAP.  Is a double standard what you want to teach your kids?  The rules only apply to some people?

That is all I got.  Maybe the other Manalopes and Bitchachos who have kids of dating age or in their teens can pipe in and share some stories with you.  I do not have a teen.

If it were me I would have a martini, go to bed and then tomorrow find some time to talk to your hub about this.  You guys need to agree, compromise and stick to a plan or the kids will run you both like cheap hookers until you are so used up and broken that you will let them do what ever and when ever.  It wont be pretty.

Breaking the Fake Twinkie Law

Ummm yaaahhhhhh....this is not a fuckin twinkie. 

Dreamie? Really? 

Saw this today while grocery shopping...almost got ran out of the store for taking a photo..really? Then the lady who worked there was all like smart & shit....

The conversation that actually took place!
-------------------------------------------------
~*~*~I need to sharpen my skills in retro thought, I am ashamed I was soooooo off my game this morning!!!~*~*~
-------------------------------------------------
Clerk: Ma'am you cannot take photos of items you have not purchased.

Kitty: Really? I just need to send this pic to my mom to see if she wants any.

Clerk: You could call her.

Kitty: Are you kidding me?

Clerk: No, ma’am it’s policy, not photos.

Kitty: But what if she was deaf and blind?

Clerk: Well, if she was blind she wouldn't see the picture.

Kitty: Ok, ok..you got a point.

And then I took the pic again just to be pissy. What was she gonna do, kick me out, I had a cart full of groceries and was heading towards check out….

Breakin the law, breakin the law! haha

Single and Old?

I am a 40 year old single mom.  I have started dating again after 10 years.  I have no idea what I am doing.  I need advice. Single and Old

Dear Single and Old -

I have no idea why you think you are old, but that my dear is what is holding you back.  If you think you are old you are.  I am more worried about your self image than the fact that no one is wining and dining you.
