Lan, kids are certainly growing up faster than they used to. I think it is b/c of all they see on TV, etc. that "push" the issue of boyfriend/girlfriend. If you will notice, even the Disney Channel programs have shows that have small kids who are acting more like teenagers should. Anyway, little girls are definitely growing up faster, so I wouldn't doubt she has her first "crush" but I wouldn't worry b/c it usually means they are just beginning to notice the opposite sex. However, it is not to soon to start gently instilling some standards in what she should look for in friends.....including boyfriends. By the time she wants to "date", then hopefully she will have those norms and standards in her that will cause her to be very particular who she chooses to go out with.
I am so sorry that you are having to go through this crap with your wife again. I think you did right by calling her out about being secretive about her coming and going. Nobody in a MR should be like that when they are in Piecing, especially.
Take care, Sandi
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
