    nintendo ds how much is to much for 8yr old...

    Personally I would say no more than 1/2 hr at a time with 1 hr breaks in between and no more that maybe 1- 1 1/2 hr total a day, no matter what day of the week. We had this problem with Aaron, he loved his PS2 and so I had to seriously cut it out of his day so he could work on other things. It...

    methods of staying calm?...

    You need to stay calm with her. If you need a breather put her in her room with a toy or something and walk away. I had to put my kids in their rooms, close the door and go outside and close the door behind me so there were 2 closed doors between myself and my child. That age is hard but you...

    Cursing !!...

    My children got the idea early on that there are certain words that children do not say. I never had to use any punishment with them, I just explained to them that because they are children they do not say those words and I have never had any problems. My daughter did learn a new word from a...

    Baptisim....Yay, or Nae?...

    I was baptised at about the age of 7-8. I went to church every Sunday and Wednesday for years but then when I was a teen I stopped going, I didn't want to do it 1/2 way. There were so many people I went to class with and they would go to church and be "good little kids" but then would go out and...

    Movies and kiddos...

    My dad let us watch any movie we wanted as long as it didn't have sex in it and we didn't watch any horror movies on Sunday. (It was God's day and the devil came through the TV) And I (as well as my sisters) ended up being traumatized from it, to this day. It is really hard and I don't want my...

    Daughter wants to look more feminine...

    I think there are some good advice in the posters. You need to be supportive but firm with her. It is good to look more feminine but that doesn't involve looking like a 14 yo hooker. Thongs, heels...you are asking for trouble. It's a scary place out there and that kind of clothing attracts the...

    I have done that. That is the scariest thing ever! I took what I thought was a cat nap and woke up to my kids playing outside in their diapers. I felt like the worst mom ever! From that moment on anytime I would feel like I need a cat nap (which happened very rarely after that incident)...I...
