Everyone Else is!
I haven't make a l/o in a long time but this was the last one I did :) and since I'm new here I thought I would share it. I love how PL is letting me get crafty again. I forgot how much I love to create.
Journaling is below
“But everyone else is” has become the words uttered more and more often now that you have hit your tween years. Make-up, Facebook, email, reading Twilight or The Hunger Games, your own phone, are just a couple of the current few. EVERYONE but you seems to have these things or at least it feels that way to you.
I want you to have what everyone else has. I remember what it was like to be in Jr. High…it wasn’t that long ago that I was there myself. At the same time I struggle with protecting you from this world that wants you to grow far too fast for my taste.
As a conservative parent I know that your friends really do have a lot of these things. You’re my oldest so we are wading these waters together. I am so proud of you and the woman you are growing into. Your father and I have granted a few of your wishes in the past year. You got a phone for your Birthday. You have your own email account and you wear lip gloss to school most days. The Hunger Games are in your near future. I still have not caved to Facebook and Twilight is out of the question until you are older. What fun would it be if you didn’t have anything to look forward too
