MommaOfAllTrades I started reading to my oldest daughter in utero. By the age of two, she could recognize some words and 'read' a few books on her own. She took that knowledge and applied it to other books. She would often ask me to teach her new words. On her 5th birthday,...

MommaOfAllTrades No your children don't have to go to school to learn to read and write. Did you hire a tutor to teach your child to walk and talk? You'd be surprise what they can learn all on their own. A child is not a stupid empty vessel we must fill with knowledge. They...

MommaOfAllTrades I'm very comfortable in the thought that when my children will need specific kind of education, they will go for it. So if she ends up dropping out of school (which there are no indication she wants to as of yet), I'd be fine with it knowing that once she...

MommaOfAllTrades Her grades are all over the place. She does really well for the first part of the school year and then you watch them decline slowly. I do not believe she gets reprimanded by her teachers.

MommaOfAllTrades No my oldest is in highschool in the public system, I'm not homeschooling her. She is legally at an age where she can choose not to go to school and get a job. And if she did, I might be ok with that while at the same time be disappointed she didn't get her...

MommaOfAllTrades Awww how special is that! I've thought of keeping chickens for a while but then I know I wouldn't be able to eat it afterwards either :( Recently, I've been trying to find butterfly larvae for my daughter... but it's hard to find a place that will sell just...

MommaOfAllTrades Girl has asked Baby... and she shrugs. She is torn. It's a very difficult decision. I believe Baby would prefer to have a casual relationship where they are in touch with no commitment. But I don't expect Boy would be willing. It's all or nothing.

MommaOfAllTrades Marguicha, I agree with you. It takes more than being part of conception to be considered a mom or dad. Fortunately, Baby has a wonderful step-dad in her life that has accepted her as his own. They have a great relationship.

MommaOfAllTrades Hey Carmel, this is my story. I've allowed her to choose from the start and she took over a year to decide to even speak to him! But now, with harrassing messages, I felt the need to put a stop to everything. They've only been in contact for a year. He's spent...

MommaOfAllTrades I agree wholeheartedly but then again, I'm biased. I fully understand wanting the best for your child and if Boy has valid concerns for his daughter, he has a right to question and inquire - but not harass. I feel he should simply be thankful for his...

Technology is ever growing. With the new tablets coming out lately, I'm finding it hard to decide what to buy next. Do you have an iPad or Playbook? Have you done research on them? Which is your preference, and why?

MommaOfAllTrades I'm with you there. I'm not sure I could complete some of my web designs on an iPad. The main reason I'm looking into the ipad is for the educational apps they offer.
