Just curious. As I have helped a neighbor child alot that has brain cancer. Do alot of toys for tots runs. Attend biker rallies that help children with scholarships etc. I know it is all good to do. Just curious how many others do these things too. I know it helps my children realize how fortunate they are. And they are more caring due to participating in helping.

I've been reading to my 5 week old for a couple weeks now... I am wondering if that's too early. I like doing it, and will continue... I was just wondering what others did with their kids.

I have two boys, one is 3 1/2 and one 18 months. We are starting to think about more children, but I'm just curious about your experiences - how far apart are your children? What is good and what is bad about it?

My partner has always refused to change the nappies of my 1 year old daughter. He does EVERYTHING else, entertaining, bathing, reading, feeding etc, but never nappies.
Now I don't really mind this as its not really a big job and he helps me out so much with everything else, plus works full time to pay for everything. But my sister and a couple of other people I have spoken to are horrified and say that wouldn't be acceptable to them and they would make him do it.
Is it really such a big deal?

I am a stay at home dad I neither I nor my wife have ever spanked our kids. (We discipline them in our own way but not through violence). The other day I asked my 13yr old son to watch his younger brother for ten minutes while I was in the yard. When I went inside I caught him with brandon(5yr old) over his knee and spanking him.
I was really shocked so I just yelled at him and sent him to bed but I feel that was not enough. What should I do?

Do you believe that the way your parent or parents disciplined you shaped how you react and enact with others today?

I need a little guidence here. My 10 1/2 month old has started biting. Any suggestions on how to help him stop? He used to give kisses, but now the kisses have turned into biting. : ( Help! I know he doesn't mean it maliciously, but there has to be a way to help him understand that it's not nice and it hurts...besides the obvious of telling him to stop.

I have been with my bf for almost 5 years. I have 2 kids from my ex husband. My boyfriend recently moved in almost 2 months ago. Rules at home have changed for my boys for the better. My bf keeps on top of them so they dont get out of hand. He punishes them for telling lies and doing bad in school. Which I agree. I sometimes get torn because I know he is doing the right thing but it hurts me to see my 7 and 9 yr old getting punished and crying. He doesnt hit them. I just need some great words to get me thru today.

It's on the side/back of his baby toe, but it goes from the tip of his toe down to the base of his toe, then wraps around and covers the entire pad of his toe, and part of his foot "pad" almost to the webbing inbetween his toes...I mean it's HUGE. Friday it was filled as large as his toe so I did use a pin (sterilized) to relieve the pressure instead of having it pop on it's own. Now, 4 days later, it's all purple and red, and it looks like other little blisters are forming. He's a daycare baby so he has to wear shoes (i'm lubing it with neosporin and a bandaid). How can I keep this from getting worse (as in infected)? I've never seen a blister this bad! He's been wearing shoes for months!

My guy and I have known each other for 3years now... He split up with his gf in the beginning of this year after he found out she had cheated on him with his mate last year, after the break up she found out she was pregnant... Me and my guy have talked about moving in together... We know we get on well as time has told these past few months as we've been so close, closer than ever... He is still close to his ex as she is having his baby, and I don't want to get in the way of that, he said he doesn't want to be with her. Should we move in together or not do you think? I think it would be nice if we did and then the baby can come and stay with us when he/she is born, and come for weeknds to see daddy, I think it will be nice .... Or is it a bad idea moving in together?


I have asked this Q earlier but seen as different ppl are on at different times and my other Q would of moved further down the line by now.....

What has happened to society?! Is it really that bad if we spank our children?

Yes, I am aware that if done too hard, for too long, spanking is a form of abuse. But, if the child acts up, and you warn him, and STILL ignores you, I think a good spanking is called for (A good spanking is like ten slaps on the rear).
Am I wrong in this thought?

Back in the day when spanking was accepted, and was actually encouraged, kids KNEW respect! They thought twice before they acted up again! So, is spanking really that big of a deal? When I was little I WAS spanked. And I DON’T resent my parents for it! They taught me what was right, and what was wrong! I NEVER acted up in public, I showed my parents respect and I acted my age most of the time.

I remember when I was grounded. LOL! That NEVER worked! The moment I was ‘free’, I was back out causing trouble! But the moment I was spanked, my mouth was shut, and I was doing my chores with a smile on my face!

So is spanking really that bad if it is managed in a way so that the punishment never crosses the line to abuse?

I've been discussing this with someone on here (momma2mingbu) and she's very against spanking. She says "hitting teaches hitting." I personally don't believe that and I'm very for spanking.

She mentioned to me some of the alternative punishments she uses like time-outs, taking away privledges, and something called "in service". "In service" is where if one child hurts another child then they have to pretty much be their slave for the rest of the day and get them bandaids and open doors for them etc. I just kind of found it funny that my kids are spanked, and don't hit and her's aren't spanked but beat each other to the point of bleeding and not being able to open a door for themselves.

Now I'm not saying my kids won't ever hit, I'm sure there will come a day sooner or later. But do you think it doesn't matter if kids are spanked or not--do they hit anyway?

My husband and I have a 12 month old little girl and we can't decide if we should have another or not. We think that financially, we can offer our little girl much more and we would still be able to travel and such if she's an only child, but there are people out there telling us that she willl be much happier with a sibling than being an only child with everything.

Most parents are not meant to be parents because they need self-control, anger management, or something like that.
