When older siblings become the parent
Dear Kim,
I have a question. I am the second-oldest of seven and my parents constantly work. So, I’m pretty much the head honcho. I realize lately that with the more rules I lay down, the more they seem to despise me. What should i do? Please help!
Sincerely
Head Honcho

I TOTALLY AGREE KIM, I AM THE OLDEST AND THERE IS A TEN YR AGE DIFFRENCE BETWEEN MY YOUNGEST SISTER AND I AND SHE MAY NOT RELIZE NOW BUT DOWN THE ROAD SHE WILL RESPECT MY CO-PARENTING
great advice Kim
Hey can you recommend some knee boots?
I love the python looking ones you had in purple and grey that you wore last year. what are you recommendations for this year, as well as Fall fashions?
thanks
Hi Kim!,
I love your style and think that you are a sweet person. I hope you do well on DWTS! I have a “Kim to the Rescue” question. I love wearing heels but of course walking in them (for long periods of time) make my feet hurt! I’ve tried insoles, but they never really work. I thought about using a numbing gel that ballerinas use for their feet, but I haven’t tried that yet. I noticed that you and your sisters wear heels all of the time as well. What do you do to combat the ache? Of course I can’t afford high end designers like Christian Louboutin. I mostly only wear Nine West which I LOVE! Can you help?
Thanks,
PrettyGirl
Pretty girl i hope she answers ur q. coz i have the same prob too…believe me ALL HEELS HURT!!! i have christian l. and they hurt even more than my nine west heels…
Great Advice Kim!! xoxo
Good Luck Tonight!

Kimmi-
I want to vote for you so step up your game. You can win but you have to shake what your momma gave you. Can you take the time to do a blog your favorite picks for Fall 08′. Like pics of things that are going to be hot. Kind of what you do with magazine clippings showing us examples for Hair, Makeup and Clothes including. thanks.
I agree with Kim’s advice. Head Honcho, just keep laying down the law. Try to stay fair and when possible, compromise. Be willing to help them out with whatever rules you set (as far as cleaning/homework) that way they know that your not just trying to be “the boss” of them. Stay strong and don’t cave in. As long as you have they’re well being in mind, they shouldn’t stay mad for long when you put your foot down. They’ll appreciate/respect you more when they’re older and past the rebellious stage.
