I recently started watching this show called Dance Mom. I was flipping stations and randomly left it on Lifetime to do homework and a marathon of this show came on. Now, I watch it because I can't help myself. Kind of like...

geekemgirl I hope she is acting this way for ratings because if it is typical for her then both she and Kathy have a few screws loose and their priorities mixed up as does the parents. Unfortunately/sadly, I have seen grown women act this way just like a bunch teenagers....

geekemgirl I watch it for the drama too. I remember that episode. If I were that mom, I would've told the teacher that if I didn't go to work then I wouldn't have money to pay her overpriced fees. I bet that would've shut her up. The little girl even said that her mom...

geekemgirl It'd be hard for me to be friends with those parents and not say anything about them letting their kids go to that dance school which wouldn't be my place.

Twitter seems really popular but I don't know why it'd be good for me to join. Are you on twitter? What are the benefits of joining?

geekemgirl Honestly, I dont want to join another socializing program like facebook but if it'll give me an opportunity to make money as others have mentioned then I'll consider it.

geekemgirl I think it'd be fun to tweet reviews. Why do you place the reviews on twitter?

geekemgirl I dont understand what it is about either. I like to try new things or at least hear about them but I figure I can find that out on facebook. Not sure I need to join twitter. We'll see.

It seems that many children today aren't getting proper discipline because some parents want to be friends with their children and don't want to lose that friendship. I don't think there is anything wrong with being friends with...

geekemgirl Thanks for the clarification. Being a parent is one of the hardest and most important jobs. I believe parents (good parents that is) are absolutely deserving of respect. But not all are good. Anyone can have a child but that doesn't mean that they'll be...

geekemgirl Drow1212, I agree with you completely that we can't always wait for happiness. Sometimes we have to take action. But, I think blkqueen did ask some good questions. Sometimes you have to ask those questions of yourself to determine what you really want out of...

geekemgirl I wonder if being friends with your kids ever works. I don't think so at least not when it is the priority but that's just my opinion. I too think discipline is important and gets more respect on both sides.

geekemgirl I agree. Discipline, respect, manners and all of those things should be first taught at home but this burden is often being placed on teachers and athletes, actors and socialites are seen as role models. Parents should be filling these roles but some are too...

I know many parents who tell their children if they don't behave that they are going to discipline them which may mean sitting in a corner, taking away a toy or a spanking etc. They start counting and give the child until a...

geekemgirl I used to think as you do because I was raised with immediate discipline but I do see the merits in counting. It gives the parent time to calm down and the child a chance to straighten up. It doesn't take long to count from 1-3 or even 1-5 but it is enough...

geekemgirl That is the best way to do it. You stick to your word so she knows there are consequences. Sometimes it is almost like you're being punished too and it is also work which is probably why some people probably don't follow through. But if you are consistent when...

geekemgirl Definitely not Candy Apples lol. Most of the times the kids seem more mature than the adults. There must be another school that is better and more kid appropriate. The dance that Abby had Maddie do last week was too suggestive. I'd never allow my child to do a...

geekemgirl Why do you keep it being that you rarely use it? When you first started the account did you use it more or think that you'd use it more than you do now?

geekemgirl I can't think of anyone or company that I'd like to follow enough to make it worth it for me to start an account but I can see how this would be a good reason to join for someone else who is really interested in a particular person or organization.

geekemgirl I've heard of google+ and have been invited to it often. I've never joined because I figured if it just like facebook then I'll stick with what I already have. Twitter seems to have a slightly different purpose but I'm not sure.
