My opinion is I think everyone should have a great childhood if at all possible, it's not always possible of course but that's another story...but for me high school was one of the most fun times of my entire life.
"What does she think about it?" She took it with a big yawn. lol She only has about 2-1/2 years left in high school if she continues on this course. I wouldn't have her miss all the fun she is having with friends for anything. She is at the "giggles" stage where she laughs until her face hurts, or gets hiccups, and still can't stop laughing, and loves playing pranks on the family and friends. Her passion is getting a new Mustang car when she turns the "Big 16". I have told her that I don't give organ donor cars to kids; that she can have a 1981 Ford Escort if it has enough dents and rust and I'll pay extra if it smokes. When we see one in traffic she covers her eyes and moans. I tell her, "Look! There is your sweet-sixteen birthday present."

I absolutely refuse to allow her to go out into this big cruel world and enter college so young. She has boundaries, love, and protection in her home and she likes things just the way they are.
