Hi, I'm Meg and just found this board. Is there another "tween" board on i-village besides this one? I was on another one last night and I am sure the co-leaders were different from this one. I should have bookmarked it but didn't. Anyway, I'm glad I found this one!

We live in New England, have an 11 year old (almost 12) son here and a 21 year old stepson (DH's) who is living out of state. I kind of have a preview of the tween/teen years, as stepson lived here with us from age 7 until 18, and boy-oh-boy was he a handful! I am hoping the younger one won't be as bad. They have very different personalities, so I am hoping for the best!

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself. I'll be checking the board and hope to get to "know" some of you.

Hi Meg:

Welcome to the board, this is a great place to make friends, give/receive advice and just to vent. I have one daughter who is in her tweens, she will be eleven next month. It does not get any easier. LOL!

Hi! I'm Keri, DH is Shannon, DD Abbie, 11 and DSS Christian, 12. I'm pretty new here myself. I hadn't been on ivillage in years, but this board is really great.

We won custody of Christian almost 2 years ago. He is very different from my daughter. I may be hitting you up for advice since this is my first time with this age! LOL! Fortunately-or unfortunately, I don't know yet, I'm going through it all at once since they're only a year apart. We'll see!

Welcome to the board!

Keri

Welcome, Meg :). I remember you from the Montessori board years ago, and I can't believe your son is now 11! My twins (boy/girl) are 12.5 and entering their second year of public middle school.

Glad to have you here!
