[Indignant]

[vashti]

exactly, and parents like you are too lazy to help them and instead put them in diapers for the rest of their lives.

Are you mentally handicapped?

[Indignant]

Are you mentally handicapped?

Yea, let's go with that.

[Indignant]

Yea, let's go with that.

whatever makes you feel better about yourselves, ladies.

[ecojeanne]

lol! this is too much

since you are not from US i wouldn't know anything about your country. I have a friend that has 4 daycare centers. speaking from experience.

You didn't mention that you are speaking about the US in your post.

But even so...where are your sources? I would be interested to know.

Indignant you truly live up to your Username. You yourself admitted that you haven't followed Ladie's story so how can you provide this "reality" that we are all in need of? BTW if reality consists of sweeping generalisations without evidence to back it up you can keep your reality.

Pretend that you are babysitting another person's child. That may work in finding other effective techniques in discipline. I intend to carry what I learned and used in babysitting to rear my children if I decide to have any.

Also, the only role you must 'play' is mother. I am not sure what a father's role is because most mothers play both roles anyways. It's the fathers that usually have to 'play' mother when he is a single father. And I must say I really admire a man that does it.

Yay I knew I was above average. I wasn't in diapers at 4.

once again, i have a friend with 4 daycare centers. i am very heavily involved with their everyday life, everyone who works there and kids in general.

Yea, let's go with that.

Yeah, lets gang up on her! Can I join? Can I?





Anyway, ontopic. IMHO child needs to be potty trained. My mom told me that we never had many diapers, and you had to wash them, not throw away. So it was initial to potty train me. I never crapped in my pants (except one time, which was actually when I was older, had such an urge that it came before I made it to toilet...) or made into bed.
But beating? Beating is the last measure, this should be not taken as standard. Its like an excuse "I don't know how to explain this to him/her and don't know how to raise my child properly so I just beat him/her to dicipline"... One important thing I remember my mom told me was to never do anyone something you don't want to be done to yourself. Somehow I got it and lived with it.

How's your daughter Nisha? Are things better?

[LadieNisha4u2nv]

Yea things are great actually, thanks for asking Indignant.

I do change her more frequently, and I do have alot more patience with her. She always jumps in my lap for attention and I'd usually tell her to sit next to me and go back to what I'm doing, but now I put aside my laptop and play with her. I've realized how happy she gets when all my attention is towards her. She kisses me and says "Muah" when she does it and gives me a hug and cuddles on my chest, it is one of the best feelings in the world. I love her to death, and I am getting closer to her every day.

Well, my mom has been telling me lately how proud she is of me for wanting to finish high school. I had been crying and telling her how bad I've been feeling cuz I'm still depending on her and she already has alot of burden on her and I really wanna get a job. I've been job hunting so much but no one is really hiring. I'm actually gonna go fill out another application today. She told me that I should worry about my education and then worry about a job. She just wants me to finish school and then worry about financial things. But I have personal wants for myself and needs for my daughter and I want to start doing for myself. I am looking forward to graduation though, I cant wait to see my mother's face when she sees me walk across the stage and get my diploma. Alot of people are proud of me actually, so I've been feeling extremely good about that.
