Would you rather your child cheat on a test or smoke cigarettes?

Hart57 @Hart57 (359) • United States 11 May 07

Here is a question that pits health against morality. If you HAD to choose, would you rather your child smoke cigarettes or cheat on a test? As for me, my gut/emotional first reaction leans toward choosing cheating on a test....

ThePaintedPorch For me the answer is easy. I am a smoker myself, and I have 5 grown children. I would choose...cheat on a test. Cheating on a test will only harm the cheater in most cases....., but smoking will not only harm my child, but also others who are innocent...

How to keep the kids from fighting?

hollie1974 @hollie1974 (119) • United States 16 Apr 07

I have a 7 yr old boy and a 13 week old girl. Now this hasn't been an issue yet, but I am sure at some point in time they are going to have it out. What do you do to try and defuse any blow ups between your kids?

4 responses

ThePaintedPorch Hi Hollie, I'm a mother of 5 kids....3 girls and 2 boys. The best way to avoid too much sibling rivalry is make sure you don't favor one child over the other. You may think now "No way would I ever do that!"....but be forewarned, it happens. It is not done...

ThePaintedPorch I believe in the old saying "once a cheater, always a cheater" He cheated on you. That's blatant disrespect. His actions show that he is a thoughtless, egotistical creep. His relationship with the other woman, for what ever reasons, didn't work out. So now...

Is it abusive to raise your children to believe false information?

ArienKing @ArienKing (4647) • India 16 Apr 07

Should it be considered abuse, for example, if a parent raises their child to believe that 1 + 1 = 4363 or that the earth is flat? (I know that it's not physical abuse, but it could be seen as a form of negligence.) Note that...

ThePaintedPorch You can teach them whatever you like, but as soon as they hit school and are taught otherwise about your math abilities, then I think they'll be looking at you from another perspective. You can't hide your children from human contact all their lives, so it's...
