1) The Bible supports it!
2) Nearly all kids need it now and then!
3) It worked for us...it's a timeless form of discipline
4) Don't let the bleeding heart liberals tell you how to raise your kid!
5) It will improve the next generation and lower crime rates!
6) It should be brought back to the schools
7) If you need to do it public, no interference from others, just a nod of approval and walk on
8) Spanking not abuse. A good spanking done lovingly is not abuse.

I have 4 kids ages 7,9,12, and 14. Where we live it is always scorching outside and the sun is the hottest it can be. We always go outdoors to the beach, swimming pools etc and I always LATHER all 4 of my boys up with suntan lotion head to toe!

I think It does not matter what age they are, you should always apply suntan lotion on your kids when its boiling out!

If you have children and apply suntan lotion on them, how old are they?

If you apply lotion on your children, and what age will you stop applying it on them? And if you still do apply lotion on them, how old are they?

She said that since he's been in daycare since he wsa basically born he has always had to fend for himslef for attention or anyhing else in the midst of 15 or so other kids, so consequenlty he now is a bully and pushes / hits other kids... he's 18 months and very bug, my little guy is 13 months and since he has always been home with me or with grandma / other family he is just a sweet and playful little guy... I don't want to offend my childhood friend (whom I have not seen in 9 months -- she lives 2 hrs away), but I'm obviously not going to let anyone hurt or even bother my kid.

Any suggestions on how to handle? In the past, if cousins have gotten aggressive with my baby I watch to make sure it is not to the point of hurting him and then I just scoop him up, tell the kid "no more playing with you" and take the baby to another area. I don't want my kid to learn to hit or be mean, and obviously a 1 yr old baby cannot defend themselves (he just learned how to walk).

Thanks :)

I know teenage pregnancy is a problem but Im not here to focus on that. Alot of teens have unprotected sex because it feels better, now pregnancy aside, what about all these nasty disgusting life threatning diseases like AIDS or contracting herpies which there really isint a cure for. Do you realize when you have sex with someone unprotected you sleep with everyone that person has been with, Is that something cool or something to be proud of? Why would you young people put yourself at risk to get something? Is sex that worth it that youd give your life up for it, I mean if you get AIDS its fatal and there isint a cure.

I work for the local YMCA. I have found that I don't feel as welcome, or valuable to the company because I am a mother. Although they have an onsite nursery, my employer makes it very clear that I am not very welcome.
Case in point ONE: After the birth of my child, I was not allowed a nursing break. True I only work a 4 hour shift, so legally they were not obligated to give me a break. But co-workers of mine who needed to have a break to feed their children "real food" could do so.
Poing TWO: parents are no longer allowed to feed their kids in the break room. Instead we have been given a card table, set up in the main hallway, where all members enter and exit the building. No easy access to fridge, sink, water, or cleaning supplies.

This seems like discrimination to me. Do I have any rights? Where can I find them? Who can I contact? I am so enfuriated by my employers alienation of those of us with kids. Needless to say, he has none of his own.

I have tried and tried, but whenever I bring up something she had done the made me upset she attacks me! Then she brings up stuff like, "I do too support you! I took you to that Cross Country Meet!" Then thats usually followed by an insult. She only does Motherly things so I can't say she completley sucks. She never respects me and her to I'm just her annoying son. She invades my privacy and all she ever does is insult me! She'll insult me over stupid stuff like me recieving a phone call and me not knowing the caller. I'm tired of being her mistake. How can I talk to my mom about the way i feel or how can I get her to respect me a little more?

My daughter ( 10 y.o.) has recurrent episodes of strep- usually gets it from her school I think. Some of her dr's advise her to go with a tonsillectomy-others advise not to. Need someone with first -hand knowledge who has experienced this: Has tonsillectomy helped, not made a difference,some other reccomendations?

I am mid 30s now but by the time I was about 10-14 years old when I got it, it was usually 15-20 smacks over my jeans with a wooden spoon. It definitely got my attention but did no noticeable damage other than slight redness for a few hours and considerable soreness for most of a day. These spankings were very effective (they didn't happen that often) but by no means abusive from my perspective. But people are so worried about abuse these days one must be careful not to leave marks.

Did I get it too hard...or too easy...or somewhere normal?

My ex goes into rages about him being forced to pay child support when he should just be given the chance to pay on his own. Everytime we speak he sets up these senerios where I can come to court and call it off or if I continue with this, he will just stop acting like dad all together, pay the money and not interact with my son. Opportunities were given for him to pay like he should have and he refused to cooperate and this is the reason for his situation now. He has only had a relationship with my son for a year now out of the 7 years of his life. I really value the time my son has spent with him and see lots of improvement in my son now that his father has been involved. Tonite, my ex refused to listen got mad said he is paying the money and wants nothing to do witih me or my son, cussed me out and hung up in my face. All this after he promised my son a visit. Should I report his behavior to the judge, what should I tell my son who adores his dad, isn't this abuse?

If you take your young child to the store and you have to go to the bathroom because of your stomach being messed up and you having diarrhea, should you still take your child into the stall with you or have them sit against the wall until you got out?
