Question: what kind of open communication do you have with your teens and preteens concerning dating, sex, puberty, morality? It’s disturbing to see the amounts of 13 year Old children who are so worried about dating. They are asking strangers on yahoo for advice on relationships with the opposite sex. This is frightening, considering the internet’s potential for sexual predators- at least moral predators. There are so many people out there with horrible motives towards young and impressionable children. People have their own agendas and don’t mind using your children to justify themselves. I hope that you are aware of your children’s activities on this site and is using the various advice as a discussion on right and wrong,
Question: I have two children 4 and 2. I have spanked in the past – I don’t like it, it hasn’t worked for our family, and I don’t want to do it, I’m over that. I need some advice as I’m having some disciplining issues.
Here’s the latest example:
Kids: Can we go outside to play?
Me: Sure, you’ll just need to pick up all of these mega blocks first.
Kids ignore me
1 minute later: If you want to go outside, you need to pick up these mega blocks, please do it now so we can go out.
Ignored again.
Me: Guess we can’t go outside to play.
Kids seem to not care and move on.
Me: If you don’t pick up these mega blocks now, they are going in the donation box (they know that what this mean – they are no longer their toys and will be given away).
Kids: start to pick them up. get most of them picked up, I go in and check and 2 minutes later my 2 year old has dumped them out again.
Not fair to put them in the donation box now as my 4 year old *did* finally pick them up, but 2 year old sister dumped them.
A daily issue we have is them picking up their toys in general. I’ve threatened to donate them/toss them if they don’t pick them up. My 4 year old *literally* says to me – that’s okay, you can throw them away, then I don’t have to pick them up.” – GRRRRR.
I want to scream and pull my hair out. I know, I know “welcome to motherhood”. This is a daily battle of them not listening to what I ask of them the first time. This is, of course, just one small example. I’m losing my patience. Tips anyone?
des – oh, no, i would never literally throw them away – I threatened to throw them in the garbage once (and I would’ve put them in a garbage bag only to retrieve them and donate them when he wasn’t looking, lol). I suppose even telling him I was going to throw them away isn’t setting the best example for non-wastefulness though, lol!
Yeah – that’s an issue – they seem to not care when I take things away – so that’s not really working either. Maybe that means they have far too many toys? Or they are not appreciative?
Question: Well this weekend I have a date with a girl I REALLY REALLY REALLY like (sorry) but anywho, we are just going to her house and watching a movie. Of course im meeting her parents and I am hoping everything goes fine. The thing is we are waiting til we see eachother in person to decide if we wanna date as bf/gf. Cause we met through a friend and have talked on the phone and myspace. I asked her if she would have a prob if I held her hand during the movie and she said she would not. So my question is would it be out of my place to kiss her on the cheek during the movie? Just like a random quick peck on the cheek when her folks arnt in the room. Or i was thinking I would put my arm around her so we may cuddle a little bit.. but what do you think? THANKS LOTS!
Question: got it done yesterday…and just woke up this morning and its incredibly swollen. now this would not matter if it was a monday because I would be in college all day, but its a sunday..so any help please!!!
oh and melanie????
