Before I begin I am not saying that anyone who believes in the Bible is wrong, nor that any religious faithful person is wasting their lives or anything like that, believe what you will as do I. I am just writing my own opinion...

When my kids were toddlers I balked at the underwear department. Who in their right mind would want low rise or bikini cut undies for their preschooler? It seemed so cheap and seedy to think about. How things change. I...

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....

maddysmommy *Million claps for you* 4monsters4me :) If you can teach your children to do that at an early age, I say kudos to you. My son is five and I am already encouraging him to do things for himself, and that includes helping out with fixing his breakfast and...

littleone3 I think that children should be taught to be independent and it is good for them to learn this from an early age i made the mistake of not doing this with my eldest who is 16 and now can be very lazy but now have to tell him if he wants fed he has to cook for...

quiltedblessings I know exactly what you are talking about. For some reason though, only moms of more than 2 or 3 kids seem to understand that our children do need some independence. I have 5. My oldest is 12, and he is fully capable of making many different things in the...

catjane Personally, I don't see anything wrong with it as long as the kids are enjoying it. Mothers shouldn't have to be slaves to their families and teaching them to take care of small needs is not only teaching them independance, but is also teaching them that women...

palonghorn Good for you!!!! My daughters learned how to do those things at an early age, and although they didn't always do their own laundry they knew how by the time they were 8 or 9, they fixed their own lunches also. It is not taking away from their childhood to...

pumpkinjam I agree with 4, my kids don't do as much as yours (but I only have 2!) but I expect my 8 year old to keep his room tidy as well as helping out where I need him to. My two year old, while he is very bright for his age, is not as cognitively developed as my 8...
