Should we teach little boys to cook, clean and other things like that?

vokey9472 @vokey9472 (1486) • United States 11 Feb 07

I have a little boy and he loves to help me. As a stay at home mommy, I cook a lot of foods from scratch, like bake my own bread and stuff. Well, he always wants to help me and I have been teaching him how to do all the things...

abakers I think that it teaches them that it is ok to do that kind of thing. In today's society with working moms and dads kids need a sense of responsibility. If they learn it now then when they grow up, hopefully they will use it to help out when they get married. I...

abakers @abakers (72) • United States 11 Feb 07

Have you done something that you are so embarrassed about that you wish you couldn't even remember it happened. Something that when you close your eyes, you can see it play over and over in your head. You don't have to tell what...

abakers I am so sorry to hear of your frustration. You can get help even if you are still married as long as you have not been living together for a month or so. As long as you can prove that he is no longer in the house. Usually they will verify through friends,...

abakers @abakers (72) • United States 1 Feb 07

I am two sons that want to watch wrestling (Monday night Raw), because the kids at school tell them about it. Of course they have wrestling figures and the wrestling ring, but isn't the wrestling to violent for kids in elementary...

abakers My kids are 5 and 6, so no they don't watch the news either. I know that its fake and rehearsed but kids at that age are very impressionable. I have also watched it growing up and I think that it is quite vulgar, some of the things they say and do.

abakers @abakers (72) • United States 1 Feb 07

Did anyone hear about the earthquake in KY on 1/31/07? Wasn't much of one, I think just 2.7. Funny thing is my son asked me about earthquakes a couple of days ago and I told him not to worry about them because we don't get them...
