Question

acting like kids can't do anythin or shuldn't. depending on the kids age sippy cups at 3( like oreo commertial) having no responsibility at home at any age.
so why do people baby kids so much?

Answer 1

they think by acting this way their showing there love but they grow up to be insecure adults and they never take nothing serious...i think that's answers your confusing question..break it down a little so we can know which each group are you taking about...OK

Answer 2

People live on the philosophy that they want their kids to have a better life than they had but in reality they are spoiling and babying them. These kids grow up to think that mommy and daddy should by them a car at 15 and pay for their gas and insurance and that they shouldn't have to get a job when they turn 18 and they can live in their parents house while they go to college that their parents paid for. It's horrible. I think at different ages kids should have certain responsibilities. At 5 they can pick up their own toys and help set the table, at 8 they can do dishes and sweep the floors or feed their pets. At 10 they can pull weeds and do laundry and by 15 they should be able to do all the household cleaning and wash the car. At 16 if they have their license they should be able to go to the grocery and pick up certain things. Responsibilty is good for kids especially at a young age because it makes them feel special and it teaches them things to keep their minds working. When I was 5 I started doing all the household chores and I hated some but I loved doing laundry, mopping the floors, and dusting. Now that I'm 23 and have my own place I know how to clean and keep organized and I actually enjoy it.

Answer 3

I use a sippy in the car with my 5 year old. It just keeps him from making a mess. I don't see anything wrong with using them occasionally like in the car. Both of my kids...ages 5 and 21 months, can drink out of cups, and they do at home. But if we are out to eat, or are somewhere that they could easily spill a cup, we use a covered cup, or a sippy. Sometimes it is not about bad parenting, it is about not wanting to make a mess.

Answer 4

I can't speak 4 ev'1, but as of now I'm raising my 1st grdbaby; and I'm in no hurry to rush her faster than she's ready. i.e. potty training; w/ my own 3 I had to get 1 off the bottle & out of diapers b-4 the next baby arrived.(they're 2 yrs apart.) I don't have another baby coming Now (chuckle,chuckle) u know; this time around. Plus, she's just now starting to show interest in "the potty." And aaaway we go!
Myself & siblings grew-up; WAY to Soon! We grew up in L.A.,
my own children; when w/ my family they are like; they should be doing this or that already, then I had to remind my bro... etc... that 'we' grew-up really way to fast.... I let my kids BE kids. Enjoy their youth, so to speak. Then my silblings "knew" where I was coming from.
But! a sippy cup @ 3, that's excessive.
My 1st hsbnd., is Cuban; and the 1st time I saw a 9 yr old w/ a pacifier...I was shocked!!! that is beyond normal, and a 5 yr old w/ a bottle?!?!!! THAT IS TO MUCH!!

As for as they r getting older, it is the parents responsability, to teach them "How To Discern right/wrong." We have to prepare them for their own adult life. If You the parents fail in this aspect, the adult (child) will fall or fail miserably!

Answer 5

a three year old still needs a sippy cup at times. my son is four and uses one because he spills to much.

why do parents baby our kids because we are protecting you from a world you dont understand and are too young to fully grasp. you dont understand the dangers that are out there. we have been around alot longer than you give us some credit. we know whats best for you hence the rules and punishments.
you r a child it is also our legal responsibility to keep you protected and safe if you were out n the world and got hurt it would be your moms butt they would come after. say you go out get drunk and drive. and you wreck your a minor and cant be held responsible your parents are. therefore its our job to keep you on a short leash until your old enough to understand the dangers this world has in it. today is worse that when i was a teenager because soo many teens go online and give out way to much private info and end up raped and murdered. you dont understand how dangerous this world is. thats why we as parents dont allow you to do much we are protecting you from yourselves you think you know but you really dont

i am 29 years old and can honestly say i still have my mom watching and fussing at me and i love it. remember your parents have your best intrest at heart.

Answer 6

as you get older you get wiser and start to forget what it was like when you were younger, thus taking for granted what kids are really capable of doing. i baby my children when they need it or when i want to show them love but at the same time i let them test their limits and encourage learning and growing up. i allow responsibility where i think it can be handled and set boundaries when appropriate. i do agree that kids are more responsible than sometimes adults think, but less than the kids themselves think... there has to be a compromise.

Answer 7

It seems to me you're talking about 20 different things in about 3 sentences okay. It's very jumbled. As for people babying kids, why don't you just leave that up to the parents. You're talking, (I think) about 3 year olds, so why are you asking this in adolescents?

Answer 8

They do so because they do not know any other way and think that all they need is "Love" so they do not seek education. They do not realize that they are misguided and mistaken to assume that boundaries are wrong. Boundaries are needed to help the child develop self control and a sense of security know what they may or may not do without repercussions.

Answer 9

I think parents baby thier kids so much because they don't want them to grow up, like when I was 12 my mom used to baby me all the time, I asked her why and she said she didn't want to let go of her little girl. I'm 23 and still her little girl though! I ♥ you mama!

Answer 10

welcome to america. that's how it is here. people shelter their children way to much. they think that by not letting their children experience anything on there own or making their own mistakes, they're protecting them. however, that isn't really how it works out. it just leads to their kids rebelling, or not knowing hot to handle tough situations on there own if their parents aren't there. kids need to screw up by themselves sometimes, and see the consequences for their actions. if you go to france, the mentality is completely different there. the kids can't do whatever they want or anything, but they do have alot more freedom. and honestly, i think people turn out better when they have more freedom growing up as opposed to being sheltered from everything.
