I wouldn't say it's necessarily a bad thing, though. I'd agree with the other commenters and say that her friends will catch up with her eventually. There's sure to be tough, upsetting, lonely times for her as she grows up but that happens to kids who haven't had to grow up fast too so as long as she has a good support network (which she clearly does) then I think she'll be fine :)boohoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356984519402775537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-80543524294476298712009-03-19T11:48:00.000-04:002009-03-19T11:48:00.000-04:00I think Munchkin has a very different set of real-...I think Munchkin has a very different set of real-world experiences than her classmates. She is different, but not in a necessarily bad way. You can't force her to have the same life perspective as her peers because, quite simply, she doesn't. So long as she does have outlets (whether they're her peers, your friends, you, etc.) whom she trusts and is able to enjoy childhood, who are we to determine how she should enjoy it?! To me, she sounds like a pretty remarkable young lady!<BR/><BR/>As far as your brackets go, my best advice is DOWN WITH DUKE! =)Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-85863532069906936962009-03-19T11:38:00.000-04:002009-03-19T11:38:00.000-04:00I had the school actually call Social Services on ...I had the school actually call Social Services on me because my Logan was "too mature for her age".<BR/><BR/>Munchkin, like Logan, has had a few things happen in her life that other kids her age have not experienced. These kids either gain strength from it, or become emotional wrecks. <BR/><BR/>Our girls have gained strenght. Her "maturity" isn't affecting her grades, her social life, or family atmosphere, so I wouldn't worry about it one bit.Still just mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18111486751043606303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-30436024266735066352009-03-19T11:15:00.000-04:002009-03-19T11:15:00.000-04:00Ummmm.

Do it for me.<BR/><BR/>(I went to one Michigan basketball game the entire time I was there. I'm pretty clueless. But I swear I have a good feeling.)<BR/><BR/>I, too, think that Munchkin will be fine. Her relationship with her peers may be different, but I don't know that it is bad for her...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379445.post-10502000654871306362009-03-19T10:40:00.000-04:002009-03-19T10:40:00.000-04:00I don't know Munchkin, obviously, so take my thoug...I don't know Munchkin, obviously, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure there is much you can do about this. As long as Munchkin is happy in her relationships, I really don't even see much of a problem. Eventually, her peers will catch up with her in regards to maturity and it will be a more level playing field. Teen years are awkward anyway so I wouldn't spend too much time worrying. She'll be fineKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06839665672705052784noreply@blogger.com
