        This is going to sound so funny. I am trying to get my son to be a bit more interested in girls. He is only interested in his friends and going out with them and lack interaction with girls! He found girls cumbersome and picky, and tend to hang out those who are so unglam (huh?) He is already 18 and still no girlfriend, but is eligible.... he is a graduate already leh... officially can find girlfriend and go and work šŸ˜‰ .... after NS... ahahaha....

          Hi, Jedamum, being in a All boy school, doesn't mean no interaction with girls, in fact, they have so many chances, co-projects, join-celebration, charity drive, tuition class..., you name it, worse is introduced by friends, :lightrod: I just found out recently... no wonder he started to ask for hair gel and pimple cream early this year. 🤷

              Me too! Just that mine is 12 and I did his facial last night! I make him scrub his hair 100 times every time he washes so that the forehead will have less pimples. He said he will not do it 100 times, but 200 times because someone called him mooncrater yesterday!

                      Boys at 12 with pimples?? :scared: I did not even have it when I was 14. Think I'd better brace myself for that as DS will be 12 soon. Already I'm seeing some changes like deeper voice and less babyish skin.

                      Where did my baby go?? 😢

                        None of my 3 older kids had pimples at 12 anyway - so rest easy for a while. I think they only appeared at 14 or 15 for my kids.
