Men just DO NOT GET IT !!! It is so important to me to reach as many Moms of tweens as possible with my blog, and share resources with them to help their daughters be allowed to just "BE THEMSELVES". To focus on their self development as bright young women and not obsess on their physical appearance and the pressures of the mass media marketing frenzy. As I was talking to my DH (and today I hesitate with that "D") he was nodding and I thought 'listening" to my rant about the 77,000 ads that have bombarded all the little unsuspecting 12 year old girls, and the mental health issues of our teen girls. Finally I paused to breathe some, and he had absolutely no comment, nada, nothing, zilch. ....................I just stared at him for about 20 seconds............... I said "Don't you find this so annoying?" ( We have a daughter!) Him,"Huh?"...................................................His brain was not even in the room with me. I was pissed!!
"If Kyle Busch had a boil on his ass and couldn't drive in the race this Sunday, you would talk about that for a solid 45 min. Wouldn't You ???!!!! But my life's interest and passion - No"
He said "Yep" That's all, just "Yep" Then we both laughed. Him because he thought my comment was funny. I laughed because............ Men are so dense about so many important things and why do we keep them around ??? It 's a good thing men have a few good uses. LOL

Glad to find your blog. I have a 19yo and a just turned 12yo. I am lucky that neither of them is really into the latest fads or anything. We don't have cable, so not into high school musical or hannah montana. I always wanted girls so I could dress them up in pink and purple. I got 2 borderline tom boys who love to read and have no interest in girly things, and refuse to wear dresses or pink and purple. Perfectly fine with me : )
Be happy about tomboys they are less trouble than girly girls in many ways! Mine was also a tomboy 95% and 5% girly( only at fancy occasions like prom and homecoming) So I still had to lay out the $$$ for the gowns, but it was a treat to see her IN A DRESS!!
