Question by Tess: Searching for book about dad cluelessly raising teen girl, joke about “a game of slamming all the doors”??
Hey! Desperately looking for a book my friend and I read when we were around 14. Its basic plot is about a father struggling to raise a teenage daughter on his own while his wife is away for a few months (can;t remember why!”). I remember one joke about them “playing a quick game of slamming all the doors in the house”, the girl bleached her hair with toilet bleach, and the cover was bright yellow. And the title was something like “what happened to my little girl” but its not that
Any help would much much appreciated – its driving us insane!!
Thanks in advance xx

Question by Cajunmama: Makeup for a young girl – please read?
I have a 9 year old daughter, and one of the things she asked for for Christmas is makeup. She has never worn any, except for stage makeup for shows.
Now, I am not asking for advice as to whether or not she should wear makeup or not – I have talked with my husband already, and we decided that while we think she’s still far too young to wear makeup outside the house, there’s nothing wrong with it if she wants to wears it around the house for a couple of years and learned how to apply it, find her own style, and not make herself look like a baby prostitute.
What I would like to know is some places that sell relatively inexpensive makeup that would be fun for a young girl to just try out, what cosmetics would be good for a first timer, etc. Like I said, I don’t want or need advice as to whether or not I should allow it – like I said, my husband and I discussed it and we are the parents.
And she is also getting toys, like a doll and a magic trick kit and art supplies and some rollerblades, so I’m not trying to “make her grow up too fast.” Just a disclaimer – thanks!
Haha I’m not paranoid what other people think, if I was there are some questions on here I wouldn’t have answered. But people who think their advice is worth its weight in gold really annoy me, so I’m trying to filter them out. Probably won’t work though.

It’s not professional by any means but most places like Walmart/Target/Sears and more sell the make up value kits. It’s like a big box with plenty of lip gloss, lip stick, eye shadow, blush, etc. etc. It comes with all the tools you will ever need. I wouldn’t recommend it for an adult, but for young girls it’s a fun kit to experiment with. Plus they are fairly inexpensive and you can get them as cheap as you want or as expensive as you want. They typically are located where you find all the pre-packaged bath supplies. =)
