RockinMomma I too am the "black sheep" of my family, but to be honest I've gotten past caring anymore. I decided that if I'm happy that's all that matters, whether my family agrees or not.....they do still love me, but of course they remind me of what they think my life...

I've always found it cute when a child decides they want to do something themselves. Most of the time a cute saying comes along with it. When my son wants to do something by himself he says "my do it" and it's so sweet and cute....

RockinMomma My son likes to help whenever possible too and it's so cute. He'll say "help mommy pleease" and of course you can't turn down the help. You know as they get older you have to fight for that help. :)

RockinMomma That is too cute! lol My niece was kind of like that when me and my sister were pregnant and she actually cried when she was wrong about the baby's gender, course that's because she really wanted them to be girls and our first babies were boys. My son gets...

I have a 12yr old step-daughter that thinks she's 20 and is driving me crazy. She is very selfish and self-centered. As long as she gets her way, she's fine, but as soon as me or her father tell her "no" or tell her she has to do...

RockinMomma Thanks for the response....In their bedroom with nothing is a good idea. She would have to be only left with school books though as she loves to read. We've took away the TV, phone, friends, games, computer and none of seems to bother her although I think not...

RockinMomma We've been trying to figure out where the attitude is coming from, I don't think its friends, but they may contribute. She's kind of had a hard life and Daddy was easy on her for sometimes because of it, blaming his self. Her mother left her when she was 5...

RockinMomma Thanks for the advise...I thinks sometimes we don't stay firm and consistent. I done the bedroom thing and it seems to work sometimes. It just seems like sometimes she enjoys being in her room...she'll sit in there all day and read to get out of doing chores...

Does anyone use Traffic Exchange sites? I'm talking about the sites that allow you to surf for credits you exchange for your site to be surfed. I've joined only one site so far and it's given me hits so far, but I'm sceptical on...

What age do you think is appropriate for a child to be social on the internet? What I mean by that is using email, instant messengers, chat rooms and community sites. My 12 yr old is bugging me for instant messengers and community...

RockinMomma I didn't think about msn, I have that one but I forgot that you can't search out people on that one. Thanks for the advice and response. I will have to check into which ones her friends are using and maybe get with parents to set them up on msn it seems to be...

RockinMomma Well I got a jump on that I already have a My Space page, but I don't have AOL anymore. We had to change due to cheaper prices with our local providers. We actually get a great deal on internet right now with our cable company instead. I wish AOL was that...

RockinMomma So far I've sent certain time frames that she is allowed on the computer, but she's only doing emails and playing some games. With that I've done your approach without seeming too nosy I've asked her about her emails. We've had a lot of talks about the...

RockinMomma I agree children can learn a lot from the internet by surfing and school sometimes requires them to do so, but not socially. She is supervised whenever she is online, but right now its only for emails and when school requires her to get info online. Thanks for...

RockinMomma I was thinking maybe high school, when I say that to her she always says "I can't do anything until high school" because I told her she couldn't have a cell phone until then either.......if I even let her have one then. It's crazy that we have to protect our...

RockinMomma I don't think any ims are good either. I'm so afraid of the crazy people out there. I watched the news show (sorry can't remember the name right now) where they tricked these men into thinking they were talking to a 14 yr old and the men showed up to meet the...

RockinMomma If I allowed her I would definitely have to have the passwords and I would be like a hawk when she's online. I would log them too. Thanks for the response.

RockinMomma The person calling you has to dial *82 then your #. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. For example, I have a private #, so when I call my mom I have to dial *82 before her # so my # doesn't come up private. I have a service that blocks private #s. When...

RockinMomma I can totally relate to you, just this past week my 2 yr old fell down our stairs to the basement and I swear it took hours for my heart to get back normal. But he just cried a little, mostly I think because it scared him and he was back on the stairs again...
