My niece came around earlier with my sister. She is a year younger than my DD who is 14. Anyway DD took niece up to her room and five minutes later, Niece came back down, sat on the sofa but didn't say anything (but looked like she wanted to IYSWIM)
Anyway sister asked her what was wrong and she gave her one of those looks that says "dont ask now, ill tell you later" and a few minutes later DD came down looking a bit upset.
Anyway when they'd gone I asked my DD what had happened and she got upset and said that niece had said her bedroom was babyish and that all her things were for little kids! .
My other daughter tends to agree with this opinion and often tells me that dd2 is babyish and we should encourage her to grow up.
She is Cartoon Network posters on her wall, is currently collecting Ben 10 figures and for christmas has asked for a number of cartoon network/ben 10 games etc.
Should I encourage her to grow up or leave her as she is?
