[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay okay if DCUM says I’m making too big a deal then I must be.

DD is a dancer so she understands makeup is for special ocassions like recitals and competitions. She’s really been pushing to wear more when she’s 13 like her friends but I’ve been holding firm on only a bit of concealer for a bad blemish and some mascara.

The hair dye was shocking and I’m not a fan of unnatural colors. She knows this too because she and her brothers wanted to dye their hair for the Capitals parade and I vetoed that.

I have to plan a 13th bday for the end of August and the ideas DD is throwing out already after this party are just crazy. [b]Thirteenth bdays weren’t a big thing when I was growing up[/b], just sweet 16. Now it’s a big bash for 13, 16, and 18!  Or at least it seems to be for the girls. Thank goodness the 2 coming up after her are boys. [/quote]

They were when I was growing up in the  US. 13 is when a kid becomes a teen so yes, it's a "milestone" year.

You are just one of those parents who likes to have a problem. You aren't happy unless you have a problem. And you need to reconsider that way of being.

The mom did not tell you what the party plans were exactly because your DD told the host kid that if her mom did, that she wouldn't be allowed to stay. I am sure all the other moms knew about the sister who was a professional coming over and making the drinks in advance. You were the only one in the dark. I bet it was your older kid who told your DD how she needed to omit the truth so that she could attend the party. [/quote]
