She is driving me nuts... I will be firm with her and I don't give her things when she is hysterical and crying for them. She just crys and crys and crys... I try to redirect her attention. I try to put her in a spot untill she can calm down ( stays but continues to cry). She is very very clingy to me (to the point where I have to pry her little hands out of my hair), I am a stay at home mother with her so she sees me all day everyday almost. She goes to play groups just fine without my presents there and doesn't have a fit so I know its nothing to do with seperation. I will say what I want her to say to me. If she is happy at that moment she will repeat it to me but if not she just crys like I am asking the world of her. What more can I get her to stop crying so much.

She is not like this to her dad... just me.

Like how rich kids think they are all that, or ppl who drive certain luxury cars dont have to signal, what is it that makes some think they are just more important?

I don't like the style of parents who are always nagging and punishing their kids, so how I can I show these kids that they need to take me seriously (i.e. not jump all over me, pull my hair, etc.) without being overly strict?

I do not believe in given an allowance to help clean up things that she uses aswell. I have tried sitting her down and talking to her.. Explaining that i would have more time with her if she would just help me out.. I have a 7 month old baby aswell. And yelling isn't working either...

My wife is spending thousands of dollars on re-doing our toddlers room and getting new stuff for the new baby.. Cuz she’s pregnant. I think she should spend the money on beer for me. Which do u think is more important? I think my beer and she says that its her money anyways so she can spend it on whatever she wants too, cuz I don’t work… but she’s a plastic surgeon so why should I work.. She makes a lot of money. What do u think should happen here?

Isn't that just teaching a child that if they do something wrong, they will just get to play with another toy?

Please help me understand this.

why do parents think that it's so wrong for your teens to have computers and laptops in there bedrooms? I mean if something is going to happen or if we are going to do anything... it wouldn't matter where we were. I don't get it. Can a parent please explain?

I feel so sorry for my neice growing up in those conditions, and my relationship with my SIL is on the rocks already so I'm afraid to tell her to quit that stuff. Should I call social services? If so how do I get ahold of them?

My two year old is quite fond of these little trains. I love the lessons a kid can learn. Was Thomas a good influence on your kid?

btw do you know if he is British?

I love the idea of my little boy learning these skills. He is two. How can he be influenced? What should I know as a parent? How can I learn more about this art?

basically 'RUIN' their children? I find this ridiculous and hurtful to those women who do and plan to be working moms. Not every women has married a man who makes enough money to support the household alone. Nor does every woman want to have to give up their career, and why should they? No one tells men they have to give up their career. I say more power to which ever one chooses - to stay home or work! (I know people wrongfully put down stay at home moms too, but you usually don't hear that staying at home will ruin your kid's life; I'm just pointing out this particular stance that I have read recently)

Why do parents feel the need to be their sons/daughters buddy instead of disciplining them (in a loving way of course). These parents usually end up with a whiny, spoiled, miserable child. Do they not realize that young children not only need discipline, they want it. It provides routine and structure, it's very comforting to them. What do you think?

Example...my mom has sent birthday gifts...halloween gifts....christmas gifts...bags of candy..and coloring books to her grandchildren who live in another state. They dont care. They dont even acknowledget they get them.
WHY!

This question is just out of curiousity. I got my son circumcised, because he was my first and I didn't understand much about it (pain, etc.). I have heard some people on here refer to it as torture, a cosmetic procedure, and just really put down parents who do it. But there have been questions about piercing a babys ears, and that is acceptable. What is the difference? They both cause pain, both are not necessary, both are done in many cases for "looks". You can argue that a child who gets its ears pierced as a baby, will not remember the pain, they would probably want it done at an older age anyways so to do it when they are young is better. Well, some can say that a child who is circumcised wont remember the pain later on, so to do it when they are younger is better. My husband and son neither one remember the pain. So why is one horrible and one is accepted? Since technically they both cause unnessisary pain. This question is just for curiosity, so lets all be nice!
