My friend has a 4 year old son who is very big for his age.. I mean literally everyone thinks he’s at least 6 or 7. She does not want to take him off of his pacifier and bottle. This is so embarrassing cause whn we go out in public people stare and I’ve even seen people take pictures of him sucking a pacifier. She says it soothes him (WTF?) He is in pre-k at an elementary school where he doesn’t take the pacifier and when he goes away with his father he doesn’t have the pacifier. So why does she give it to him when she’s with him by herself? he sucks a bottle that she’s cut the top of the nipple to where he can suck freely. That’s not the kicker, she even put’s cereal that newborns use and still heats it up in the microwave.. What is the problem with her?
@Turtles.. Yes a friend. I dnt have a child sweetie and I damn sure wouldn’t be coming to a message board abt my unfit parenting abt MY child!!

Without getting in to all the details, my husband will be working second shift next week. This will leave me to the cooking for our daughter and myself. Ugh…world’s worst cook! I can’t even make Minute Rice! (No, really…I’m a great baker, but I can’t cook. I burn the pan, I burn the food, I under cook….) Anything in the oven is easy enough, but a quick "whip something up and throw it on the stove" terrifies me!

So, parents, any advice? Ideas? Recipes?

Also, considering I’m going to be alone with a curious and FAST toddler whilst cooking … advice on keeping her safe and out of the way while still entertaining her? (She just won’t sit still!)
Why do you have to submit the question 47 times to get it to post? I’ve not posted questions after hitting "submit" with the proper category because I forget the next page is another "are you sure you really, really, REALLY want to submit this?" Ugh. Good thing I didn’t go back to my profile before heading back to Parenting…would’ve lost another question!

What are your thoughts on parenting?

For parents, do you shelter your children, or are you for the most part open with them about the world?

For teens, what is your advice to parents or describe what you feel how you’ve been brought up has affected you.

Please feel free to add any thoughts you have on the topic and any advice, experiences, stories, or tips you’d like to share! (spanking, dating, tv, friends, music, hobbies, church, etc)
Thank you all, and im sure everyone has something to say =)

I found out I’m pregnant with twins. Me and my husband are excited. We are new parents, even though we take care of his little sister and my little sister. Is there anything I should know about raising twins? I don’t know a lot about parenting and am nervous, this is my first pregnancy so I have no clue where to start except a class.

Just curious….Which one typically makes the better single parent?

Note – This question does not, in any way, mean that one has to be better than the other or treat this situation as some kind of contest. I am more concerned with finding out if fatherly or motherly parenting has a higher chance of producing properly behaved off-spring.

Now that my sons girlfriend is living at our house, any suggestions on living conditions and raising her.?
i appreciate all your previous help, it has been a really rough few days. We decided not to adopt her, so if the relationship doesn’t work or something goes wrong a foster parent can raise. we talked to social services and they said that we can raise her under our roof.

any advice on how living conditions should be set and how i should raise her, my son is 15 and so is the girlfriend. they have been in a relationship since they were 9. my son suggested she sleep in his room in his bed, and he said he would leave the door open and have the nanny cam in the room. should i allow her to sleep in his room with those conditions. any suggestions on living conditions, there are three bedrooms, me and my husbands, my daughters, and my sons. Im more for letting her sleep in my daughters room, and my daughter loves the idea. but i dint want to depress my son and his girlfriend even more.

Should i just let my son sleep with his girlfriend in the living room with my son on the floor and the girl on the cough, im sorry that this just seems stupid its just that my son and daughter have slept together like on vacations and sleep overs. this is a very stressful problem, i mean my son wont even go to school, because he wants to comfort his girlfriend and she highly appreciates. other advice on parenting this awakward family would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

My parents refuse to believe the realities of life for my generation….
1) Refuse to believe people at age 15 date.
2) Refuse to believe that people at age 15 stay out longer than 10 o clock and go out more than twice a week.
3) Refuse to believe that catholic school doesnt equal angel academy. (that public school kids arent the only ones with problems)
They also have inconsistencies in their parenting…
1) Have actually REDUCED my curfew, even though i have only grown more mature (which they even admit, but that are "afraid" for me)
2) They DENY that they have allowed me out past 10 o clock when i was younger, and have allowed me to go to certain places.

And here comes the big one…
They wont let me date a boy who has waited for me and actually wants to meet them.

Im not asking for a 180 degree change, but i would like some change in the sense that they will accept realities and consider making some changes?
i understand all your points buts its sooooo unimaginably frustrating, they laugh at me
romper stomper… i think i should add that i have over 300 community service hours, i never ask for clothes, if i do i shop at target, im a good student, and i am the first to go to someones side in a time of need, so dont tell me that all i talk about is "me me me"

it seems he has launched a campaign to have people not teach religion to their children.
he uses two children that shows them very happen and says please do not put this baggage religion on your children.

it seems how ever unknown to them the children are from a evangelical house hold and believe in god.

story at this link below.

The two children chosen to front Richard Dawkins’s latest assault on God could not look more free of the misery he associates with religious baggage. With the slogan “Please don’t label me. Let me grow up and choose for myself”, the youngsters with broad grins seem to be the perfect advertisement for the new atheism being promoted by Professor Dawkins and the British Humanist Association.

Except that they are about as far from atheism as it is possible to be. The Times can reveal that Charlotte, 8, and Ollie, 7, are from one of the country’s most devout Christian families.

which way would you prefer to raise your child?

I see people completely baby their children and let them get away with a lot. I get it it is very easy to baby a beautiful baby or child cause you love them so much. I am guilty of this myself. I was raised with very strict rules and I would be punished if I didn’t follow them. At the time I hated it but I am now thankful for the spanking’s and being yelled at cause it has prepared me in life and I am very Strong because of it. So my Dilemma is how should I discipline my own child? I am very quick tempered (Always have been) and I have no tolerance or patients when my child does something they are not suppose to. But yet I resort to being so kind and sweet to my son that I think he is being spoiled. I am thinking I need to change my ideas of parenting and not be afraid to raise my voice and stick to what I say. I am even starting to think I should bring in a spanking when he is really bad. I have never done it but I’m thinking that I am going to raise a spoiled man and I am afraid he will be weak as a man cause I am never assertive with him. Any way’s I just want to know how people think and raise their children maybe it will help with my dilemma.
