    Don't know where to start......

    Not telling the truth...

    I am no expert, but I assume that humans lie a lot mostly when they want to avoid consequences. With my daughter I try to avoid situations when she might feel need to lie. For example, she is not a big fan of doing homework, but she really does not have a choice, because she is sitting next to...

    Mad Mother...

    mom2many, I mentioned that the family is muslim, so I kinda understand that she was not trying to be rude, it is just tradition brought to the extreme: she is not suppose to open the door to anyone without her husband or something like that. I mean we had a muslim lady taking care of my kids and...

    Mad Mother...

    I know, I left out lots of details. But as I am telling you the story, I kinda calm down a bit, so thanks for the support. I did not ask if he absolutely had to go to the store - he could drop my son in the day care first and then go. It was defenitely not an emergency. The guy has a small...

    Mad Mother...

    As for religion - I might be wrong but I do expect a religious person to be honest and responsible. But that's just my expectations. As for the rest: I live in a small town, there are no stores between these two destinations. To get to the closest Plateau with stores and shopping centers...

    Kids and wild animals...

    Even a domestic cat can be dangerous. I still remember how my own sweet kitty attacked my best friend - we spend quite some time trying to stop blood and she still has a scar... He was so loveable and was purring on her lap and she just wanted to take hair from her face...

    Imposing fines on parents...

    The whole idea of making child to say that he or she is sorry is not just to make them apologize. It has deeper phycological effect when an abuser is put in a humble position and an abused one's sense of dignity is restored at least to some level

My daughter loves them, but my 3-year-old son is the main iPhone user - he loves taking pictures and I have a mirror app, that does not save pictures on the disk... so thanks to God, I do not have to worry anymore about deleting them - hundreds of them - afterwards...
