Just for your information before all of the criticism, I have no intention of leaving any of my boys home alone anytime soon. They range from 7-10. My ex feels that my 10 year old is old enough to be left unsupervised and can babysit his girlfriends babies. I have been searching for Pennsylvania Law sites to find out what the exact age is but do not seem able to find anything I can use. Pretty much, I want the facts before I make a big stink about it.

Also, when did your child start recognizing letters? How old was your child when he or she started understanding the concept of numbers? Please feel free to answer if your child is just starting these things, and give details. Thanks.

I'm sorry but I just think they look too much like whores for the age group they are targeted at. I don't personally think I'm a bad mother, I was just told that by another mother who disagrees with my decision. What do you think? It's not right or wrong it's just my opinion....

I, like all of you, was a child once (even if you don't remember it) and that is all it takes to have an opinion and valid perspective on parenting.
You might learn a lot from my 'child's' perspective on parenting and you'd learn even more if you took the time to recall your own childhood experiences in GREAT DETAIL.
It might even vastly improve your parenting skills to remember how it was for you as a child and what helped you and what didn't.
DO YOU REMEMBER????

Four days ago, at school, a group of girls just grabbed me and then punched me in the crotch many, many times, giggling. I fell to the ground. They just stood there laughing for a long time! Then I got lucky because it started raining heavily, and I heard them run away. Not long after that I almost throw up my lunch. When I finally got up it was not raining anymore, and so sign of them.
My girlfriend asked me what was wrong with me, I told her and she laughed! I am still a bit sore. I am very scared, they are too many, should I get a taser gun or a baton?

Were you raised with too much spanking, swatting, beating, threatening, fear or too little? Is todays 'too little' parenting worse, better or about the same as previous 'too much' parenting? is there something in between 'too much' & 'too little'? Are you using the 'too much' or the 'too little' method or something in between?

My mom and dad live 100 miles away from eachother and are on really bad speaking terms. I live with my mom, and go to school here in the week and my parents switch off weekends for custody. I am 15 but my mom still treats me like a child, not taking my feelings into consideration. I do everything for her: get straight A's, play sports, try and help out around the house, but still we get into huge arguements and trys to tell me what i really want. Well, what I really want it to live with my dad, because I'm unhappy here, and I don't see him enough. But she goes on telling me things like "you're just anxious to go up there this weekend, that is why you are saying these things." I've even been harsh sometimes but she makes excuses for everything I say. I can't really do this anymore. What do I need to do or say to my mom to get her to really take my feelings into consideration? What do I do to make her realize how much I am hurting living here? We need change. I'm unhappy.

It really gets me parents that believe spanking is a horrible. They want to give them time out. Oh please. It they are acting terrible, you should adjust that attitude. Apply the rod of disiplent to the seat of their pants. I think hitting a child anywhere else is terrible. You go to Walmart and swat your child on the butt and there is always a idiot who wants to look at you stupid or say something.

On of my daughter's friends I can't stand to look at her. She lies, connives and is a really bad apple. She blackmails my daughter. I don't want to hate this child, but the site of this little monster pricks every nerve in my body. They are 9 years old. Is this terrible of me to feel this way. I never disliked a kid like this one. I have heard her backstabbing and telling the lies.

Do you believe that lack of spanking in this generation, has led to the deterioration of our society?

I am so glad Summer is over and I don't have these 2 mothers dumping their kids on me during the day. Now they want them to come over after school and come home for bed or dinner. These mothers would go shopping and never tell me. There kids would ask for food and lunch. I would have to take off during the day with my daughter to get away from them. The one mother use to not answer her cell phone to get her kid. Another mother would have her daughter and 2 year old over my house at 7:30 in the morning. Don't these Mother's realize that when the kids don't come for lunch, they are burdening me. Its not just me, but a couple of my friends have to be unwitting babysitters for these useless Mom's. I don't blame the kids, I blame the useless Mom's. What can we do to stop this?

How would you react if your teenage son called you a horrible and unfit mother since you wouldn't let him drop out of school? What would you say if he told you he doesn't want a relationship with you anymore?

How would you respond if your kid cursed you out and threatened to report you to Child Protective Services for abuse if you did not?

What ever happened to 'forgive and forget?' Some parents must be part elephant because they can remember your mistakes down to the date it happened. Having said that, do they constantly remind you of a mistake you made? If so, how do you respond when they do?

My daughter is a little over a year old but she has a bad habit of taking her diapers off, after she dirties them. She doesn't walk yet but, she can pull her self up and climb up on her little chair that sits on the floor. I was wondering if it would be to early to start potty training her? When is a good time to start potty training?
