Dear Head Honcho,
Trust me, I totally get this! I have to discipline Kendall and Kylie sometimes. They feel as though because I'm not their parent and just their sister, my orders aren't valid. But at the end of the day as much as they want to fight it, they know because I am so much older, that they have to listen to me when our parents are away.
They may not like it now, but later on down the line your siblings will respect you and one day understand the role you have taken on... It's hard to be a parent and especially taking on the role when you aren't even biologically the parent. Remember, they need a parent figure in their life, so don't stop doing what you are doing! Remember, all kids rebel against authority!
Stay strong,
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 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.

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.

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

HEEEEY KIM. i love all of the advice your giving people and i was wondering if you would give me some too. will heres my story, theres this boy at my school and everyones telling me he likes me and that hes been wanting to talk to me, so i sorta fell for him and now i really like him. but the thing is hes relly shy about it and wont tell me his feelings for me and i dont want to be wasting my time on him if nothings going to happen. i tried asking him but whenever i do he runs away. and he now thinks i go out with this one boy that has a similar name to his and he told me that i got there names mixed up and i like the other boy instead of him which is totalllly wrong. but im wondering why he thinks that when i act like i really like him and i told him myself that i like him. &its alll his brothers fault bcoz he seen me sitting on the stairs with the other boy and we were talking, there was other people but they had walked away. and so i guess he told his brother (the guy i like) about it. his brother is so rude to me, i cant stand him. lol. and now everythings messed up. what should i do ?

Dear Kim,
I am currently a sophomore in college, and I have not had a boyfriend, much less been on a date, since high school (almost two years). I'm very friendly, and people tell me I'm really pretty, but I don't know what the deal is. I'm involved with several organizations here at school so that I get to meet lots of people, but for some reason, I still have not been asked out. I have friends who meet a guy, then two weeks later, they're dating, but somehow that never happens to me. What can I do to help my situation? Thank you!
