You’re a great daughter (son?). I hope it works the same for us!

I have no intention of “monitoring” his grades, but if I ask him, you better believe I’ll expect an honest answer. He’s been in a private prep school since first grade, and I have never once interfered in his classes, grading, or anything else. He gets what he earns, nothing more, nothing less, but let’s be clear that…

Holy gods, things are so much more complicated than when I was in college with the dinosaurs! I’ll have to count on him to be honest with me, I suppose.

Thanks for the great advice! I know he snapchats with his friends because he shows some of them to me, (he also took video of me car-dancing to I Touch Myself and snapchatted to his buddies because he’s oh so funny). So one more thing for me to learn, as he’ll want to see the dogs; lord, I feel old.

Thanks for the kind words :-) I think this college application process really has me facing what’s happening. I also took him on a four-day, five-campus tour this September, and boy, did it hit me! It was more emotional than I was expecting, for sure. I’ll get through it, like all moms, I know. Plus - freedom for me…

Yikes, I won’t even require a whole hour, unless he has a lot to say. But I think a set time, for him to decide, is totally fair.

No!! Listen, we pay $20,000 a year now for his private school, and I have never once asked him to share with me his schedule selection. That’s for him and his guidance counselor to take care of. Geez!

It’s funny how I’ve actually been preparing my kid to leave me, isn’t it? I’m ready for the next phase of my life, and I’m proud of who he is as a human, so it’s like...a puzzle :-) I want him to grow and find his way, so I can find mine, but at the same time, it’s freaking scary!

I’m not sure why you think I would try to keep him from anything. I’m the one who requires him to work, who encouraged his social life, and who has always had a hands-off approach to his school work. He gets what he earns, and nothing more.

I understand that about the grades, but he will be required to apprise us of his finals, and if we ask him, to tell us how it’s going durine the semester. I saw the results of not doing that last year when a friend’s son ended up flunking his first semester because she decided to allow him complete autonomy. His…

No, if I resented it, he would not have a car of his own (10 year-old hand-me-down). And I’ve encouraged his independence the last few years, as I’ve declared a bit of my own. I also require him to work, so he has his own money for all these social activities. I actually worried about him for a while, because he…

Phew! I may also learn how to Skype, so I can make sure he’s eating and cutting his hair. :-) And yes, my life will be drastically changing, as I plan on separating from his father within the next year, so I’ll have a lot on my plate. Thanks!

His thing is all things sports, so I assume he’ll be in touch with his father (from whom I plan on separating within the next year) regularly, so I need to find something that will bind us that way. I’m used to being tight with my son, and his go-to for advice, but I can see him pulling away lately. *sniff* I’ll get…

Not gonna lie, this is one of my fears as my only child, my son, is leaving for college this summer. I’ve been a SAHM, a decision my husband and I made before the kid was born, and I have zero regrets, but I’ve seen many changes just the past few months, as he has a full school schedule, plays in the jazz band so he…

Get yo party dancey

Please report back! I love my magic wand, but have been looking at this. My clit needs a lotof stimulation to orgasm, and this looks promising.

There were a whole lot of merkins going on :-) But on the whole, good job.

And older women! Because, yes, we exist and we love sex - like, a whole fucking lot - and being post-menopausal just means that we don’t bleed, not that we dry up and fade away. Big ups for the inclusion, Peaches!

1) That’s so beautiful that I would be reluctant to cut into it!

I used exercise as my self-care for the past two years; unfortunately, I overdid it and ended up injured, unable to work out, and 15 pounds overweight again and uncomfortable with myself, so I made best friends with my Magic Wand. Self-care, the Hitachi way.
