worldwise1 I actually did get a paddling once, sarah, for some other infraction, and my aunt who was my legal guardian(and also the head cook at the school I attended), cornered him wielding a huge metal spoon as soon as she heard about it!

I would like to address the issue of young mothers who have no time for their children. I am seeing this occur more and more(even in my own family). Yes, I get that parents are busy with juggling work and other responsibilities,...

worldwise1 I fully understand that babies can happen unplanned or unexpectedly, GCL, but a smart enough person can factor in enough time to spend with that child even though they have to provide for it. I did not mean to intentionally single out mothers, but it is a fact...

worldwise1 While I agree that too much gaming can be bad for older children, liquorcs, I'm also thinking of the children who are even younger. Some toddlers actually spend more time in day care than they do at home.

worldwise1 I wouldn't say that being a mother means you can't have a life, sarah, but it does mean that you have to consider the needs of the child before your own. Parenting requires a lot of self-sacrifice, but it also helps one to mature.

worldwise1 Yes, Ruby, it is quite upsetting to know that so many children are being deprived of a loving, close family relationship. All kids deserve this.

worldwise1 Most often, sender, these children are starved for love and affection which can cause them to act out. It is left to the grandparents to instill some values into them.

worldwise1 I couldn't have said it better, nicole! I think mothers have it much easier now than many did when I was young. I never learned to drive, and didn't have access to a car, but I wasn't above getting on a bus or taxi to take my kids places. Nowadays most young...

worldwise1 It is so true, parrot, that not everyone is parent material, but once they cross that bridge they need to step up. I wasn't the best parent with my first child, but I was determined enough to make it a good experience for all of us as they came along.

worldwise1 You're absolutely right, GG. I don't know why so many parents are sacrificing their children in pursuit of the Good Life, but it is often the case. It seems to me that they're going at it all wrong - having children first, then trying to establish a career, or...

worldwise1 Many young parents are balancing their time around the rearing of their children, sienakristie, so I know that it can be done, even though it's not always easy.

worldwise1 I wish you every success with the choice you have made for your child's sake, genevy. While it's not easy for a mom to spend that quality time with her children if she has to work I feel that much of her free time should be devoted to the children.

worldwise1 I know of which you speak, bunnybon, because I was also the product of an absentee mother. My siblings and I were all raised in different homes for the most part, but luckily, we were able to maintain a relationship of sorts. My mom, I suppose, felt it more...
