Marie - I tried to post yesterday, but managed to lose my message entirely.
I have a 13 year old daughter, and 16 year old son. My daughter has recently started to get moodier, and it's been particularly tough for my husband because they've always enjoyed one another alot. She's always been the house sunshine, and has provided a wonderful counterbalance to my son's occasional mmodiness and sulleness. It's always good to have at least one acting civilly at all times.
I admire you for being able to deal with A&F, my least favorite store. The ones I have been to are horribly understaffed and earsplittingly loud. There's one employee standing by the mere 2 or 3 dressing rooms for the whole store, key in hand, trying to hold back the droves of people waiting. Woe be to the person who wants to hold onto a dressing room while checking out a different size or color. The other employee is the only person manning the cash register. Another drove of people waits forever for the privilege of spending alot of money for ok clothing. The corporate attitude seems to be that they're doing you a wonderful favor by taking your money. Jeesh they even sell(!!!) catalogs to show off their models. My thing now is that I wait outside while my daughter shops there. She comes and gets me if there's anything that she can convince me to buy.
If you have an 11 year old, you must hang out in Limited Too and Claires. I can't believe that there was a time when i was blissfully ignorant of such stores.
Why did you move? Did this involve a different school for the kids? In my other life i try to practice law.
