Thank you for sharing and huge congrats to your boys for their milestone. I'm always telling my kids that they should do to others as they'd want others to do to them. For me, this way of living means an empathy with the people you share the world with. Misty, I had heard JK Rowling’s speech before, but not Ellen’s and I LOVED it.

Yes, definitely messed up. I'd like to see more shows like that. Great role models for teen girls. And we adults like them, too. Lori, I was a Duffy fan, too! Yes, definitely messed up.

The idea of giving someone that much control makes me angry! But whatever. If other people like it, go for it. I actually just read a book similar to the one you didn't mention. Well, read about 1/3 and then returned it. First time I've returned a book! The characters were so immature and ridiculous! A relationship is about respect and equality, imo. And one of my fav heroines is Buffy! Def. messed up, but also def. kick butt. Also loved Veronica Mars! lol, I agree, I’m not at all into bondage and don’t get it.

Even though we don't have any close friends or family that are graduating this year, our son will be an 8th grader next year... I should be preparing myself by starting to collect this wisdom early :). I really loved all of the speeches, but this line from Rowling's was especially touching to me: "And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life." That's a wise statement for any of us who have struggled with anything... My best advice: Get enough sleep. Exercise. Eat healthy foods. Do something creative and productive every day. Show the people who are important to you how much you care. (I tell myself these same things because, really, I need to work more at #1, 2 and 3. ;) ) Misty, this is a FABULOUS post!

My daughter is graduating from grade 9 this year, and she looks so mature - it's freakin scary! I also have two sons graduating university this year and I have look at them and wonder where all the time went. I've often told my kids that I might not be the best mom on the earth, but I show up everyday prepared to be the best one I can be. :) Hi Misty,

I think the coming high school years may be the real test, but this does feel like a nice milestone for all of us. Thanks, Joe.

As moms we need to try to set a good example. Whether its absorbed by the child or not ... that remains to be seen. I can only hope so. As moms we need to try to set a good example.
