I want to thank everyone for the insightful, thoughtful and very personal responses that were shared to my comment yesterday evening. Reading through that thread again this morning I'm deeply touched, and once again so happy to be part of a group of people who are so sharing of their knowledge and experience. Thankyou very, very much 🥹
What I found fascinating was the amount of ladies on here that didn't necessarily fit into the mould of girly girl shit. My people. Girl power.
Same!
I feel like these days there's more peer pressure to fit into a mould younger and younger and to like and have opinions about things that they might not necessarily have thought about yet.
It's good to validate mini peelers feelings but remember she's very young and her feelings may change as time goes on. Hug her and tell her you love her no matter what and she can come to you no matter what.
Ps. You're the listener. Don't ask too many questions.
