Lately, there have been a few threads that made it clear that, while most of us agree that using natural consequences are very effective for teaching children about right and wrong, we don't all necessarily interpret what exactly this means in the same way. So, my question to you is this: 1...

I have something that I want to get off my chest. It seems to me that “exotic pets” are becoming more and more fashionable, and these days every little kid wants a pet frog, snake or iguana, or even something like a monkey or chinchilla. The problem is, people don’t seem to think twice about...

That's where I am. I'm sitting here, looking at my boy sleeping next to me, my girl is sitting on the carpet, drawing a picture for her brother. I have a wonderful woman in my life, whom I love, and who loves me. (Heaven knows it took me long enough to admit that!) Four years ago I didn't...

Just thought I'd let you guys know - Baby Ruan was born this morning just after 8:00. 3.2 kg and 49 cm. I'm way too tired to do the conversion, sorry :p The most important thing is that there were no issues and both mom and baby are doing well :)

Or am I just bring rediculous? I'm really excited, but I'm also utterly terrified! Seriously, it's not my first, so I'm supposed to know what I'm doing by now, but I'm freaking out a little bit. :/ We have less than 4 Weeks to go, and we're as prepared as can be, ito everything that can be...

<r>So we are having a bit of an uproar in SA, and I thought it would be interesting to get some outside opinions, since I’m not really sure where I stand myself.<br/> <br/> I film was made about a teacher who has a sexual relationship with a 16 year old pupil. It appears that...

I stored receiving email notifications for PMs. Anyone know what's going on?

First and foremost, I want to make it clear that this is NOT intended as a personal attack on pancras. My issue is with what he/she has been advocating on this site, not with him/her as a person. Simply put, I don't like it. So let's talk about it. I was going to quote a lot of other stuff, but...

So we had our 12 weeks scan today... It's triplets! :eek: Identical :eek: Two boys and one girl... Ok, just kidding :p Seriously, though. There's nothing quite as awesome as hearing your baby's heartbeat for the first time! And even though we couldn't figure out the sex yet, seeing the...

This is something that I've been thinking about for a long time, and something I will have to make my mind up about sooner rather than later, I think. I concerns telling my daughter about my history. At this stage, she doesn't know that I've been anything other than her rather boring daddy. I...

Just a question for the mods - has the ban on links in signatures been lifted? I have noticed that we have a number of new members who post meaningless and/or irrelevant posts all over the board, and the one thing they all have in common, is links in their signatures. It's not a big deal, I'm...

Sooo.... I guess the forum where I'm posting says it. Yup, GF is pregnant. Ok. I'll give you a minute... . . . . . . . ... everyone over their shock? Yes? Good. Cause I'm not. But anyway... So, obviously things are about to change, big time. We've already discussed the fact that it would be...

It seems lately I spend more time on here pissing off people and then apologizing than actually chatting and contributing. I don't really know why. I've been dealing with some really difficult things on a personal level since late last year, and I guess I just haven't been able to keep my cool...

So, we have a lot of newish member who have become active over the last few months. I think it's time we got to know each other again! So... here are a few questions. Let's get some answers! (I'll post mine shortly, gotta run now!) 1. What were you doing 10 Years Ago? 2. What 5 things are on...

I think it would be safe to assume that all parents agree that bullying is a serious issue that should never be tolerated. However, I have stumbled upon an article that made me think about this from a different angle: What if my kid was to witness someone else being bullied? The parents in the...

Well, boys and girls, this is me for this year, probably. Today is my last work day for the year, and then my two girls and I will be spending the rest of what was a very exhausting year in a peaceful place, far from civilization (and reliable internet connections :p). Looking out over...

<FONT font="Trebuchet MS">For our Canadian members: Theoren Fleury is organizing a walk from the Abuse memorial in Toronto to Parliament Hill in Ottawa to raise awareness for Child Sexual Abuse, the dire need for legislative changes to prevent and the need for more treatment. It is called The...

So it's that time of year when one looks back on the last year and take stock of everything that happened. For me, 2012 was a year of many lessons. Here are some of the lessons I learned: <LIST> <LI>Chewing gum cannot be removed from hair. You have to cut it out.</LI> <LI>Earthworms can be...

Link What do you think? Right? Wrong? Who should be bringing up this child?
