First and last for awhile, I hope. Yes, I will begrudgingly give him credit for that. but only that. Lol!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1012601 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 22:53:49 +0000 DonnaF 1012601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At least the breakup was face to face and not via text message or a FaceBook change in status.&nbsp; Sounds like this was the first big BF? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1012241 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:35:38 +0000 kellygirl 1012241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Natalie: Lol! That's pretty funny--I fully support your parents on that move So funny! Glad things worked out--you might have had four kids in diapers now if they hadn't sent you to CA (bada bing.) You have three, right?&nbsp;<br />@Mandipa: She seems be running on adrenaline. The girls who is always hungry has barely been eating.&nbsp;<br />@Alicat: Yay, is right.&nbsp;</p> <p>The dummy BF broke up with her at lunch so she had to suffer through the rest of school. &nbsp;Her feelings were hurt, I'm sure.&nbsp;DD#2 says that she has been crying at night because he's been mean/ignoring her for the last week--probably thinking how is the best way to break up. Anyway, he should have waited until the end of school or Friday and sucked it up. I'm sending some bad juju his way until end of school today. After that he can be some other Mom's problem :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1012231 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 14:26:06 +0000 Anonymous 1012231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So funny! &nbsp;Yay!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1012026 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 08:34:20 +0000 ManidipaM 1012026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep calm. And carry on with the Cosmos. Er, virgin mojitos for her? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011986 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 05:38:01 +0000 goldenpig 1011986@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAHA, too funny Kelly!<br />At least you didn't actively try to break them up, like my parents did when I was in high school. My parents sent me to California to get me away from my boyfriend, who was 12 years older than me. (I know, I know, but I was MATURE for my age!). I was so mad at them I refused to talk to them or even give them my phone number for several weeks. Though I met DH at college there so I suppose it worked out in the end.<br />Here's hoping your DD's heart mends quickly! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011844 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 02:01:58 +0000 kellygirl 1011844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Krista: Glad that I could&nbsp;enlighten you on what some moms really think I agree, everyone here is such a good sport.&nbsp;<br />@rachylou: DD just turned 15. It's not that we didn't like him. I actually think he's a nice boy <b>for some one else's daughter</b>. I'd rather her play the field and hang out with lots of friends--not just this one. She plays field hockey and soccer and gets excellent grades--I didn't want a boy getting in the way of those things. Woohoo, Single!&nbsp;</p> <p>I think I would have barfed if someone made me a paper chain--lol! I'm pretty sure I would like your friend too :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011838 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:50:56 +0000 rachylou 1011838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How old is DD? And why didn't *we* like the bf?</p> <p>My friend's son had a girlfriend who made him a paper chain calendar for college - to count the days down when they'd be reunited at the holidays. It was ghastly and my friend was even ghastlier about it. Lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011829 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:42:01 +0000 Krista 1011829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is honestly one of the funniest threads I've read in a long time... :). I'm not a parent, so this is a really unique view I'm getting here. I'm thinking back to all of my break ups and my mom's "There, there"'s ... If I know my mom, she was dancing with glee in private for sure!!!! Haha!</p> <p>You guys are great! So fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011818 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:34:01 +0000 kellygirl 1011818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, Suz! I had to spill the beans somewhere because I can't spill em here at home. I'm trying to be mature but it's hard--verrra verrra hard. Yes, Gaylene, I'm putting all of my acting skilz to the test. I just hope she gets over it soon, I'm ready to Par-tay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011814 Fri, 23 Aug 2013 01:30:18 +0000 Suz 1011814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, yeah-- if you want the breakup, now is the time for poker face and nods and, "There there, I know it is so hard, sweetie." Meanwhile, spilling it all to us about how glad you are, bwa ha ha....</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011730 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:58:57 +0000 Gaylene 1011730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can remember times walking around with everything crossed, even my eyes, in hope that it was finished, but you walk on dangerous ground if you let them sense you are over the moon with the news. Time to pull out your acting chops, mom! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011715 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:38:50 +0000 kellygirl 1011715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@Gaylene: Arrggh! I'm trying to hold it in. Really. Hard. &nbsp;She's super sensitive. Thing is, she was ready to break up with him during the summer--now, not so much. Fickle girl. Oh well. Thanks for the great advice. Fingers crossed it is permanent.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011712 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:32:12 +0000 Gaylene 1011712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, speaking from experience, this is a time to do all you can to hold it inside; you can dance around a bit in private, but your public face needs to be totally noncommittal if her heart is broken. Teenage hearts (boys, as well as girls) are very sensitive and it's hard to know which way things will go. A break up gift just be a tad early in the process--especially if there is still hope in her heart that it might not be a permanent split. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011703 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 23:11:50 +0000 kellygirl 1011703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's hoping the "Cheerio" works, Beth Ann. Thanks </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011696 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:58:37 +0000 Beth Ann 1011696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I miss the days when you could hand them a Cheerio, and they'd play with it like a toy for a hour.</p> <p>Best wishes.&nbsp; I hope your dd recovers from the heartbreak quickly and can enjoy being young! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ptl-dds-boyfriend-broke-up-with-her#post-1011686 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 22:48:21 +0000 kellygirl 1011686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel bad for being so elated but I'm thrilled and can hardly contain it. I already offered to buy her a break up gift. I have a feeling this is probably the wrong thing to do but I&nbsp;can't help myself.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think she will cry her way to Brandy Melville and then hopefully be fine. Wish us luck.&nbsp; </p>
