My daughter got off the bus today someone's girlfriend. Yes, my 6-yr-old.
"Mommy, guess what! I'm a girlfriend now!"
"You're what?"
"I'm somebody's girlfriend. He asked me if I wanted him to be my boyfriend and I said yes!"
"Who IS this boy?"
"I don't know his name."
"Don't you think that would have been good information to get?"
"I don't know. But he kissed me right on the forehead when I got off the bus!"
I think I'm going to be sick. This is not cute. This is my daughter. I am very, very afraid.
I thought we had a few years before this hit. Bradley gave me a 10-minute litany tonight about who likes who in the 3rd grade. But they're 8 and 9. Not 6.
I'm seriously thinking about homeschooling again. Or at least carpooling. You may think I'm over-reacting, but I know how she thinks. I've been her. I'm getting nauseous just thinking about it.
Lord, teach me to pray.

Sister, I don't think you're over reacting at all. But remember that homeschooling is not about insulating our children from the outside world but strengthening them as they venture out into it. I'm probably one of your more conservative friends, but maybe 6 is too early for the bus? Or you can look at it as an opportunity to talk about your own beliefs and family values regarding "boyfriends and girlfriends" and consider this experience as a blessing that you have this opportunity to talk openly and that she can get the correct info. about relationship from you. It depends upon the way you look at it. Sorry for the book. We can discuss more later :)
Wow, LA...I am not sure I am ready for a little girl! Good thing I have a few years before I have to deal with this. Jonathan's 6 but he still thinks girls stuff is gross. He definitely hasn't shown interest in a girlfriend and I am totally content with that!
It has nothing to do with the bus. Kelsey was kissed smack-dab in the middle of reading time on the lips! It was a great opportunity for both her teacher and us to iterate that kissing is reserved for only the very most important people in your lives.
I'm with JA; thankful my boy wants nothing to do with it just yet! :O)
I was driving his best friend and him to soccer this week when I heard her say, "You can be my Prince Charming, and I'll be the princess." After a minute of contemplation came his reply..."I just want to be the Incredibles."
