My Kid Is 7 Going On 17 & I Don't Know What To Do

My Kid Is 7 Going On 17 & I Don't Know What To Do

Recently, CJ Kelsey spotted a bra strap peeking out of her 7-year-old's shirt. Turns out, her kid had gone rogue. She writes: "It turns out her older friend had been wearing a training bra, so my little 7-year-old thought she needed to as well. What I didn't know was there just so happened to be one, donated to us by her older cousin, in a pile of clothes in her room. I was at least 9 before I started wanting to wear bras. Why was my daughter already there?"

It wasn't an isolated incident, either — her daughter wants to grow up already, and CJ isn't so sure about that. And so she's wrestling with it in this piece. Give it a read.

Does Everyone Have A Million Piles In Their House Or Is It Just Me?

Lauren Davidson's house is full of piles: "Upstairs, there are piles of clothes my children have outgrown. Their ultimate destination is carefully labeled bins in my basement: 'Size 4 boys,' 'Size 8 and larger,' 'School uniforms,' all waiting to be handed down to younger siblings. But somehow the clothes never make it there. In the living room, there are piles of throw blankets that never seem to get folded. In my bedroom, there are piles and piles of paper — piles of my children's school papers I want to save, piles of sorted mail to be filed, piles of bills to pay. And, of course, there are the never-ending piles of laundry." And it's driving her nuts. Perhaps you can relate?
