I think having one's children watch TV, if it's educational, is good on occasion. It teaches them to make good choices.

when my kids drive me mad, i go outside and smoke. also i find that smoking together with neighbours is a good way to communicate.
back in the day, I managed some restaurants, and the best advise I ever go about coping with getting ticked off (I mean dealing with people when they're hungry is often challenging) was to roll up your sleeves, run your hands and arms under water, splash some in your face, then go stand in the walk-in freezer and screem into the fan. You feel better quickly.

Oh thank God! We don't have to be perfect here!

O watches spongebob and phineas and ferb wayy too much.

He used to spend a lot of time on the Wii but that was in the summer when it was too hot to go outside.

Don't feel like cooking? Pop a corn dog in the microwave.

We listen to the radio which does a decent job and bleeping words but he still points out that LMFAO says "sexy."

Too often i will clean his room or his play room because I love to clean, I hate messes and he just doesn't do it right!

I don't always double check to make sure he actually cleaned himself in the shower instead of played for 20 minutes.

I'm going to stop before I win the worlds worst parent award!

Oh I could go on forever! lol

DH and I listen to our music around the kids, and we just assume he knows what not to repeat! Just the other day he was walking around like "dance dance dance dance dancing in the daaaarrk" LOL!

I barely ever make ODS clean up his toys, I like my way of doing it better! ha

Sometimes when we're in a store, I'll bribe ODS into being good by telling him I will buy him something. :p

I let the baby watch TV. :O xD

I think at the end of the day, no matter who you are. No family is perfect. Everyone has those moments of "I NEED A BREAK!" When we are not making my step son read he is usually being entertained by some television show :) but hey I have some serious child restrictions on the tv so nothing over PG.

when my SD-to be is whiny about being bored or whiny in general I will do either 2 things:

I bring her into our bedroom, pop in a movie and let her have it it while we watch something in the living room in quiet.

I go to the gym to be alone!

Guilty as charged. :mask:

My children are older.. I won't begin to tell of all the shameful things I did to sleep or get them to listen when they were little!

Now... If my daughters are sad, we talk and I feed them chocolate. Makes everyone feel better. :p

The 3 boys that are home are teenagers.. their long showers gross me out. I have a hot water heater with a control panel in my room. If I think they are "washing" too long, I cut the heater off. :eek:

I did not hear my daughter say she loved me until she was 5. I still choke up thinking about what a horrible father I've been.

If your like me and the other 2 million people who have joined me on the Internet you would want your own children to stumble across a pornographic web site.*

It's as easy of them just studding one night alone in their room looking up sites to do with homework but wait whats that at the top of the page a web banner that display nude women and free "XXX Pictures" now would you want that to be reveled to your child "NO" I'm guessing because I wouldn't want my daughter to see that eather.*

Well here I go blabbing on again but this is a very important subject for all parents out the. * * * That's why I'm here messaging you my brother and my self have developed one of the most effective Internet adult content filters so that unexpected conversation erupted at the kitchen table such as " mum why are there ladies nude on my computer in my room". * Now you could remove their computer or disconnect the internet service but that's unfair for every one it's not your son/daughters fault this happens is it so follow me and the rest of use and do the wright thing make your computer safe, make it do you don't have to supervise every time they need it because let's face it the Internet and computers are the world today.*

So check out our new software to stop this disgusting content @
