I'm worried that I don't spend enough "active" time with my boys. They are 13 months, so they are cute and fun, but ... I just don't know what to do with them. I'm used doing things that are still a little beyond them, like...

VF1Jtrainer Today at their grandmothers they were much more receptive to returning a ball! They seem to want to push it, but sometimes end up keeping it because their hands pull back giving it spin. (Hands face down, pull hands down, ball moves forward while being...

VF1Jtrainer Sometimes I can't tell if they don't get what I'm doing or if they just don't care, but usually if I try building blocks they just take them apart and pick one to chew one, rolling the ball is kinda fun, except again they don't really send it back, they're...

Sadly, I've only read the Hobbit. When I was in 7th grade I tried to read the Two Towers (it was the only one my school had. Why? God knows.) I didn't get past the elaborate physical description of the tower. I was amazed at the...

VF1Jtrainer LOL, will do, I'll let ya know. I tend to watch the movie "instead" sometimes too, but LotR is THE classic fantasy tale, so I'd love to actually get through it some day.

I like, "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" But that's strongly because it was in The Last Unicorn in a funny scene. So, who remembers the answer to this one, and/or what is your favorite riddle to puzzle us with?

What do you WANT in a significant other? What do you NEED in a significant other? If you've been in enough relationships you know what needs are from you S.O. and which of those your not willing to sacrifice to get what you want...

needs

relationships

wants

VF1Jtrainer I WANT support on personal interests, consideration of differences, similar interests in enough to keep us having fun together, enough differences to make things interesting, a reasonably healthy "love-life." I NEED love, devotion, respect.

I understand that part of the answer depends on the maturity of the individual child, but I am looking for number ages here. Just give me a guess on your part. Also, are there any laws that answer that question? I know...

VF1Jtrainer I would guess that a reasonably well behaved ten year old COULD be okay at home alone. To be safe one might wait untill twelve, but certainly by then the concepts of what is and is not dangerous ought to be well understood. My brother was five years older than...

Happy New Year guys! WE have with us a nephew of my wife cause his parents requested us to be his guardian while he was still studying away from their home residence. He was so hard-headed fellow, very lazy one both in helping our...

VF1Jtrainer No, of course you shouldn't "punch him" BUT I basically feel that physical punishment should be firm enough to make a point, but gentle enough not to bruise. A little smack on the head like you might do to your buddies ought to be fine, and a spanking hurts a...

This is sort of a strange question, but I would like as much advice as I can get. I have 5 boys, 6 if you count dad. They have the biggest trouble peeing in the toilet! It's all over the floor every thing around the toilet,...

VF1Jtrainer Another good reason to try and convince everyone to just sit down is that even if their aim is perfect, the force splashes droplets out everywhere anyway. For some reason my mother put arpeting in her bathroom (it matches the rest of the decor) and she asked...

My son is 14 months old and usually takes two naps a day. He is beginning to act like he only needs one nap. He will just sit in his crib and play when he is suppose to be taking his afternoon nap. If he doesn't end up taking his...

VF1Jtrainer My own schedule has been very hectic, and as a result our twin boys never adopted a precise schedule. They 13 months (minus ten weeks pre-mature) and still take two naps a day. BUT they nap when they fall asleep, not because I tell them to. AND they usually...

Well when thinking over this topic both things came to my mind. Why not? Guns can make a simple person a killer. Why ? If somebody acts irresponsibly with a car(or gun) then nobody suggests banning all the cars. Whats your...

VF1Jtrainer I'd also like to point out that part of the original purpose of everyone being aloud to have a gun was to defend there homes from our own government. That's right, because soldiers used to just walk into people houses like, "Hay, I'm a soldier, I can do what I...

VF1Jtrainer Well, I'm not very good yet, but I really love my ocarina. (Yes, just like in Zelda.) It can sound haunting or pretty, and while the breath control is important there's little other physical difficulties that I've found like touching the wrongs guitar string,...

I couldn't find the LOTR book interest (there are so many interests here!), so I posted this here. Which character do you relate to the most and why?

VF1Jtrainer I feel I relate best to Smeagol. In some ways, I think he is the most "human" charachter. At heart he wants to be good, but life's struggles, hardships and temptations have driven him to warring with himself. It's the eternal struggle of the human spirit, and...

I think Frodo is being pushed too much strees in the movie yes this is ok but the he is always complaining about things despite all he is doing throughout the story is just carrying the ring nothing else..he is holding the ring...

frodo

lord of the rings

middle earth

VF1Jtrainer But isn't that the whole point? Simply carrying the ring mystically affects Frodo's mind and makes him obsessive and dangerous. Not to mention the psychological burden of having it causing paranoia and despair.

VF1Jtrainer I often check my spelling, but it depends on how important the discussion is to me. For instance I might not be concerned if I were talking about video games, but for a topic like religion or other big life issues it just seems more respectful (and intelligent...
