I have never seen another woman's vagina, so have no idea what they look like, except mine.....I assume you mean (not vagina), But labia....the outer lips. I think it is sad you/anyone thinks any body part is ugly. Our bodies are amazing. I dou
Roadrunner,
Let us know how your lips turn out, mine are so thin I have often thought of doing something. But I am scared whitless!Hi girls,
Feeling a fair bit better now - thank god! I spent last night in total tears over this finally getting the divorce paper (one piece of paper printed doubled sided) signified the end of my marriage. At the time I coud not cry but whoa sur"My vagina is just ugly, seriously ugly".
Thank You! I feel the same way and it is causing me to not want to have sex with my husband. All I can think about while having sex is how ugly and flabby it is. HELP!!I stumbled across this movie on Netflix and ordered it. I absolutely LOVED it! It was "hysterical". I love the properness of the English. Imagine that mixed with the invention of the vibrator! This is a must see movie!
"Doctors were mastur
I think you are being honest about this. It’s true, we accept more readily what we help create.
I love that. So true for me.
its good you can relize this , as I also have stepkids and find that even though I love them deeply its not the same as my own kids.
I was married to my ex for almost 37 years and he had 4 children from previous marriage. I think we tolerated each other more than anything. the youngest of them was 12 when we got married and it wasn’t like having babies or young children around. They would be sweet and kind to my face and then badmouth me later. It took my ex a long time to do anything about it even though he knew how much it hurt me that he just let it go. But I agree about not being able to care as much for them as your own. Things are too complicated.
Things are complicated. We’ve only been married 6 years and our children are all grown. I think I just expect his children to have the same respect for people as I taught mine to have. I try to set examples for them and not react to their issues, but wow, it is so hard sometimes. Plus the fact that I rasied 2 boys and he has 4 girls!!! I’m just not used to all the drama!!! Ha Ha
Oh man!!!! Girls are way different from boys. Especially to their “moms”, stepmom included. When you think about the fact that women are traditionally more “relationship oriented”, how can these teen girls come across to their moms like they do? I see this so much in the parenting classes I teach. It’s amazing.
You teach parenting classes!!! Oh my, I might be really puting some questions out now (LOL). Any advice for a grandbaby that’s almost 4 and still doesnt want to have a bm in the potty? She’s got the other down, just has issues with the “poo” part. Her Mom and Dad (my son) are divorced and I’m quite sure they don’t see eye-to-eye on how to handle this. Man, could I use some advice since i babysit often.
The experts usually tell you that there is no magic age that a child should be potty trained. Some kids just take longer. There can be lots of reasons a child hold onto their own poop. Silly things like: they might make a mess, it’s theirs and don’t want to give it up. Or more serious things like they’re constipated, or it’s been painful in the past. If she goes once in while and the more serious problems don’t exist then just relax, she’ll go when she’s ready. Make sure there is no shaming, no blaming and no punishments. If you start a power struggle with her, guess what? she’ll win! You can’t make her poop. So read her books, the cute ones and make it fun and natural. Ask her to tell you the next time she’s going to go poop. After a while ask her if she’d like to start going poop in the bathroom. Don’t say anything about going on the toilet. When you’re cleaning out her pants or pullups, show her that you are putting her poop in the toilet because that is where it goes. Let it progress without undo stress for her and keep it out of your voice. Perhaps the mommy/daddy split up and their lack of agreement on parenting issues is causing the sweet child to hang onto what is familiar. Pooping in her pants is familiar. There are lots of reasons there’s delay in potty training. I wouldn’t be overly concerned about the training itself. Just take a close look at what might be happening that would cause some trauma. Good luck. Oh, by the way, ask any question that comes to your mind. I’ll try to answer. If I don’t know, I’ll find a referral for you.
What a blessing to get this info. So very well said and exactly how I feel about the situation but couldn’t express it. Thank you so much. I will share this with her parents.
