@fudge Yes. I might have had her a little younger - like 30 instead of 34.

@arrowzahns My kid had sleep issues until she was three and I never breast fed at all so... there goes that theory. It's so hard when they still sort of need a nap so they're cranky if they don't get it but they're wired if they do. And yes, over-tired kids act up and get a little wild...

@simplewoodencross Does he have a therapist? Have you looked into meds for anxiety? My daughter is a similarly high achieving student, but anxiety was basically taking over her life a few years ago. We finally found a therapist who is a good fit. The therapist recommended a psych. She's...

@ccm500 In the interest of keeping her from hiding things in the future AND learning how to handle online friendships/dating, I'd say yes. Go with her plan of meeting at the mall, set a time limit, and be there. I wouldn't make them sit close or introduce you or anything, but he should know that...
