[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I swear there is a troll or 10 here that just loves starting these types of threads with basically no info and these big questions. It's sad how many people in the DMV have so much time yet do so little that is worthwhile...[/quote]
OP here.  I chose to not go into detail about my daughter's over-sharing in order to protect her privacy. "How do I teach my daughter to not share overly personal factoids" isn't really a "big question". So no, not a troll, but thanks for asking, I guess?[/quote]

There’s a difference between sharing friend drama vs her period symptoms or BOB preferences. Dont be obtuse. [/quote]

Agree with everyone that you are being ridiculous, OP. If you are not a troll, you absolutely deserve being accused of being one.

My DD14 tells me everything. I joke that the moment the car door slams, she says "So in first period...." and does. not. stop. until she's through her club meetings and sports. Then she tells me about additional teen, tiktok, etc. drama. Then basically every thought that enters her head about everything and everybody. It can be tedious. Sometimes I have to take a work call or interact with my other child. But it is not oversharing. She's not telling me anything inappropriate nor does she [i]have anything inappropriate to tell[/i].

So WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? You don't have to give explicit details but no indication of the topic is suspect.[/quote]

OP is ghosting us. In other words, definite troll.

That said, PP kudos, whatever's happening in  your family, you are really lucky.  Many of us can't get our kids to talk about their days in detail at all, all we get unless we ask more specific questions is "It was fine" and that's it.  And some still don't get more details even when they do ask specific questions. I can understand your DD may get a bit tiresome to listen to every thought that crosses her mind, but seriously, enjoy it.  Most in this Tween/Teen forum have the opposite problem and it's a lot harder to solve.[/quote]
Not a troll, as previously mentioned. I just have other things in my life that need attending to. I wasn't aware that having a life outside of this website would considered unusual.

And yes, I realize oversharing isn't the worst thing my child could possibly do, it's not like she's into the drugs! It's just . . . inconvenient at times. And disturbing. That's all!

Once again: NOT. A. TROLL.[/quote]

Ok, so you're not a troll. Your complete inability to say enough about what types of things your DD shares that for you is so extreme as to be "oversharing" makes it impossible for anyone to give you useful feedback.  The only feedback we can give is that your post is indeed troll-like and if all the rest of your allegedly busy life means you can't describe enough about your situation on an anonymous website to help others answer your original question.

Congrats, even if your original post was real, you are hereby bestowed the Honorary Troll title because there's not enough info to know whether your daughter is overdoing it, or you are.[/quote]
OP here. Spilling personal details from my daughter's life on the internet is something I am not prepared to do. Period. I don't care that this is anonymous and it couldn't be tracked back to me -- you think I didn't realize that? It doesn't matter! It's a matter of trust, and I think this thread must be full of parents of teens who either don't or shouldn't trust them.

"There's not enough info to know whether your daughter is overdoing it, or you are." Well, she is overdoing it. I'm not sure why you don't feel that my account of a situation that I AM EXPERIENCING is "enough info" to make a conclusion.

Sorry, I probably am overreacting a bit. It's been a stressful day.[/quote]
