Parenting - July 2006

My hubby and I went to a restaurant in our neighborhood, the busboy kept coming around and saying hi to my 4yr old and touching her on her arm and side. This of course annoyed us, my hubby was seated next to her so I told him that if something like that ever happens again she should hug her and hold her close to him letting the person know (stay away). He came around again and continued making small talk only to her. We had to move her from where she she was and seat her where behind us was a booth with a family eating. But as soon as they left he started cleaning the area and offered her ketchup. Any idiot can see the kids plates came with a little bowl of ketchup, I kept saying NO! and he waved it in front of her making her reach out for it. My hubby got up to the buffet and the busboy immediately came and put his knee on the place next to her, I got up and shoved him away. I reported this to the mgr, who then called out to the busboy & the waiter, came back did not even apologize.

What are your ideas for using natural and logical consequence for these behaviors?

A child who hits
A child who throws a toy
A child who draws on the wall
A child who breaks a toy on purpose
A child who purposefully fall out of a chair
A child who throws their food on the floor

List your idea of a natural or logical consequence for each of these behaviors. Thanks!

My three year old boy never listens to me. He runs of down the road when we are out walking. Hits me, tells me im horrible ( im not honest) and encorages his friends to copy him at preschool. Hes a bit of a ring leader. the other kids thinks hes funny so copy but the teachers feedback is saying hes very desruptive and wont listen when they tell him not to do something. He also refuses to use the tolet at Preschool and will hold on untill he gets home even if hes desparate. If he wants something and i say no. he lays down on the floor and screams. People stare at me in the street and i find it so embarresing. I also have another boy age 1.5 years. I feel i treat them equally. Help

My house is 1,650 square feet.

I have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths.

We have a living room,dining room, kitchen and 2 car garage.

We have a small backyard and no front yard really.

How big should a house be if my wife and I have 2 or 3 kids? We are leaning towards 2 kids.

How big is your house and how many people live in it?

I have helped raise my two little brothers and I have taken care of kids for many years.

My husband has never really been around kids and held a newborn baby for the first time a couple of months ago.

I found 3 childbirth DVDs that have childcare, breastfeeding, Lamaze, etc on it. Its about 6 hours on each DVD.

We were thinking about watching the interactive DVDs and reading the many baby books we bought.

If he felt uncomfortable still, then we would go to the classes.

Did you take the classes? Any advice?

Drug makers Glaxo Smith Cline and Merck have just released cervical cancer vaccines called Gardasil and Cervarix which (according to research) provides 100% protection to the HPV that causes cervical cancer but it should be administered to girls before their first sexual activity. Advocates are suggesting ages 10-14. Proponents believe the vaccine can mislead girls to think they are safe after the vaccine. Should parents refuse to pay for the expensive vaccine to prevent their daughters from having promiscuous sex? Do you think this will be social debate soon?

I had my son at 19. I was clueless at raising a son and since his father and I split up during my pregnancy, I raised him on my own. I never had much money, so even though I provided the necessary things, I never could provide alot of extras until he was older. Now at 29, I am remarried and we have a 2 yr. old daughter. I have enjoyed raising an infant and toddler so much more this time around and I tend to do and buy much more for my daugher than I do for my son or stepson. It is not that she is an easier child, its just that I know more and have more energy,and also because shes a girl and I love girly things. I know that I go overboard buying clothes, toys and little cutsy decorative things for my daughter, but I do it for my own enjoyment, not hers(at 2 yrs. old she isn't asking for all this stuff). I feel guilty for showering my daugher with so much more attention and stuff, but I can't help it. Am I a bad person?????
