My poor baby looks like he's taken a beating

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11834) 1 May 08

OK, he's a toddler now, but he'll always be my baby. Anyway, I've just put him to bed and the poor little mite is just so covered in lumps and bumps and grazes that he looks as if he's been in a punch up. He took a tumble down...

4monsters4me She's fine now and I do think I was more traumatized then she was. Except for maybe my 6yo son who witnessed the whole thing. He is very attached to his baby sister (they have an amazing bond). He was almost in tears because he couldn't get to her to help her...

4monsters4me To grow vegetables you need Seasons. If you have that and Open For Business then you can sell them in a road side stand. Even without OFB you can sell the vegetables as you pick them but gardens came with Seasons. Apartments was advertised in the new...

Bella75 @nixxi76 (3191) • Canada 16 Apr 08

Isn't it illegal to hold your child back from school? I thought it was especually if you don't feel like taking them! One of my long time friends has this neighbor that has only had her child in school four times this whole year.....

4monsters4me It does depend on the state. In many states compulsory school ages are still 7-16, meaning you don't HAVE to send your child to school until they are 7. I know many states are changing that to 5/6-17 to try and get more kids in school. But, if you start...

Does this make my child a genius?

pumpkinjam @pumpkinjam (8767) • United Kingdom 15 Apr 08

Today, I was reading about a 3 year old child who is considered a genius and has an IQ of over 150. Apparently, by the time this child was 2 years old, she could speak in sentences and have conversations, count to 10, get...

4monsters4me Thank you. Yes, she is very clever. I say that as she is trying to turn on the lamps in the living room (she knows how to turn the switch). As for counting. I know what you mean by the difference. I think real counting she can go to 3 or 4. I know she knows...

Does religion have anything to do with how morals are instilled in kids?

kieungoc @kieungoc (232) • United States 14 Apr 08

I was raised Catholic, but decided not to be a part of any religion years ago. My parents aren't very happy about it, but I think they have realized they cannot change how I feel. My husband and I have two wonderful boys and we...

4monsters4me Yes, she was very worried for awhile that she was doomed to hell because she wasn't baptized and we didn't believe in god or Jesus. It took me awhile to make her understand that not everyone believes that and that I didn't think, if god were real, that he...

how to get a 2yo over her terrifying fear of the potty

4monsters4me @4monsters4me (2569) • United States 14 Apr 08

This is my 4th child. I am no by no means new to potty training. For almost 4 years straight I was potty training one child or another (including 2 very stubborn little girls). But this is new to me. My youngest daughter just...

4monsters4me We're probably going to get one this week. We used to have one with the removable little seat but my older kids never used it. They always just used the little seat on the big toilet and the potty chair was a step stool. So we only bought the seat this time,...

god is the 'craziest' of all!!!

rodeliza18 @rodeliza18 (13) • Philippines 9 Apr 08

I know it sounds rude. First, who am i to say that God is crazy? But it's the description I could ever say when I think of Him! Look, He gives us problems, but He also gives the solutions! He makes us ill, but then He offers the...

4monsters4me Sorry, but nothing will make be believe in the Christian god. The god I see is not a loving and caring god. If the Christian god truly was all powerful and caring he just wouldn't let crap happen every day. That is just common sense. He is either not...

Have your children been influenced by other's beliefes.

ebberts @ebberts (784) • United States 15 Mar 08

The other day my son came home and was talking about religion and I ask him where he got his information. He expressed that it came from one of his friends. Some of this was in my opinion really off the wall. Would you worry about...

4monsters4me That is horrible that they would tell a 4 year old something like that. I'm not sure how the schools are now but I learned about evolution when I went to Catholic school, in 7th and 8th grade. In 8th grade I remember I had religion right after science...

Any suggestions on how to help kids gain weight?

SusanShayAvon @SusanShayAvon (1003) • United States 16 Mar 08

I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on how to help kids gain weight. My kids love vegetables, fruit and don't like a lot of meat. And I was wondering if anyone has any ideas.

4monsters4me I know, what is up with that, lol. My oldest always pulls that. Every time I make chicken she starts crying that she doesn't like it (even though it is one of few meats she will eat). Then we make her try it and she gobbles it up and says it was the best...

Does your children believe in the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus?

SusanShayAvon @SusanShayAvon (1003) • United States 15 Mar 08

I was curious as to hear responses on this. I have a cousin who was told as soon as she could understand that these were not real and she told all the kids she knew and ruined it for them. Her parents are very religious and felt...

4monsters4me That's when I get creative and tell the kids that Santa and his elves are so overwhelmed with all the kids in the world that sometimes they ask other people, like moms and dads to help out and maybe put a special toy together for him. So far my kids have...

On Friday, July 20, 2007 my husband, Patrick Connelly, called me from work at 9:50 to tell me he had to work late, that he loved me and would see me when he got home. It was the last time I heard from him. No one has seen or...

When did you allow/encourage your kids to get their own meals?

4monsters4me @4monsters4me (2569) • United States 11 Feb 08

I catch a lot of flack from other moms because my older kids (7 and 6) get their own breakfast and lunch. They say I shouldn't force them to grow up so fast and let them be kids or that it should be my job because I'm the mom....

4monsters4me My kids help with groceries, even the baby (who is almost 2). They carry what they can. My son does most of it since he is the biggest and strongest. The girls are pretty weak but they carry bread and stuff like that. We used to live on the 2nd floor and they...
