Hello all, My son is 5 1/2 and participated in T Ball this season. He hated it. He was so bored out in the field. He is not very coordinated, and has really thick glasses which probably didn't help. I know about Hockey, Football, Soccer, Swimmng and Martial Arts. I think he would do better with one on one. He's a little too immature for team sports. Should I try boxing? What else is there?

What did you find good for yourself and the kids as far as being able to care for both and them playing or understanding what having a new baby is all about. I know some people have said too close together is really hard on the parents and too far apart means they will never play together or get along because they will always be too far apart in age, what did you finf beneficial?

I love waking up every morning knowing that I am needed. I love the way I feel when we are doing activities together, like feeding the geese, or playing at the park. I love knowing that it's up to me to keep them safe and secure. I wouldn't trade in being a parent for anything!

Do they remember a time when there was nothing but children, like the seventies and the fifties? And if they don't, what can help them come to terms with living in a world with people of different age groups?
Have we become a society of Cruellas and Scrooges?

Like when you're out in public and maybe your kiddo throws a tantrum, or is acting bad, and people either look at you like, "If that was MY kid, I would do this..." or when you spank them someone without kids gives you that pouty look like, "awww, poor baby....don't hit him!" They have NO IDEA what it takes to be a parent and they want to go ahead and give you pointers! Oh, I could just strangle them! Mother of three - 5 yrs, 2 yrs, and 6 months.

Okay, i am 22, and I have four year old daughter. I live at home with my mom and step dad. I live at home so that I can have enough money to go to school. NOw, blah blah I know I live at home with my parents, but I am still a parent myself.

I do not ask for anything really of my parents. They buy what they want to buy, they watch my daughter when they want to watch her.

Here is the problem--my mom tries to take over my daughter, or so it feels. This is is a struggle that has continued since my daughters birth. I am by no means a bad parent. But if I try to punish my daughter in any way, she comes running from across the house, to see why my daughter is being put in time out or whatever.

If i tell my daughter no, to something like a brownie at 9 at night my MOTHERwill ask Why not?, right in front of my daughter and will argue with me.

Not only that, but I feel left out. They will go and take my daughter to seaworld, with out even inviting me or telling me in advance.

My girlfriend and I wnet to see the movie "Cars" this weekend.
We decided we should see it this weekend since it had been out for a couple of weeks and has received some good reviews.

While this is an animated movie, we did expect that some people would bring their children to the theater.
As we started watching the previews, it was obvious that the parents were not going to be able to keep these kids quiet.
Parents didnt just bring in children, they brought in toddlers.
Im talking abouot children under the age of 5 who have no understanding of what they are going to see. Children that have no ability to sit still for an extended amount of time, and will begin to cry or yell at their parents when they are bored or arent able to get up and do something that they want.

Is it reasonable to expect that there may be a time in which children under the age of 5 would be banned from the public movie theater, until they can sit still and focus on the movie?

My daughter is almost 13...she wears about 5 different outfits a day, then puts them in the laundry basket. I want her to see how much more work she is causing me. So I think she's old enough. Am I being to hard? Dad says I am.

there is this old idiot at work who thinks that we should bring back spankings. he was telling me how all the way up to high school, in his day, kids would get spankings from the teachers.

..i think if a teacher ever tried to lay a hand on me like that there would have been a fight.

what do you think? i know kids need more discipline... but liberaly spanking them is a WAY overboard.

Do you agree?

actually waited till they were married to have sex. I am tierd of all these answers, where people tell the poster you should have waited till you were a adult and married to have sex. There may actually be people who do that, and that is great. I am guessing though the majority of people had sex long before they were married.
