Are parents to blame

BourderHouse @BourderHouse (749) • Philippines 8 Mar 07

Do you think the way your parents raise you, everything they do and don't do make you who you are now? Are parents to blame for the way their kid(s) turn out?

mommydearest I think that parenting has a lot to do with how kids turn out, but even parents who really try to bring their kids up right end up having troubled children. Yes, if you do drugs or drink and live a bad life in front of your kids they will probably be more...

lillake @lillake (1630) • United States 7 Mar 07

What is the worst thing your parents ever said to you as a child? For me it was "If you don't stop crying I'll give you a reason to cry" As an adult now I can look back and say of course I had a reason to cry! That's why I was...

mommydearest I do take my kids out to play. They need the fresh air and sunshine. Plus the excercise is important for their physical health. I hate being cooped up. I think your friend needs to get a new babysitter!

How old should a child be before he can get his own mobile phone?

TheKristoffersens @TheKristoffersens (200) • Denmark 8 Mar 07

A couple of years ago, I thought only adults should have mobile phones. When my niece got one from her mum at 12 years old, I also thought that was very early. But when her brother got one before he was 5 then it just did not make...

mommydearest My 7 year old daughter has asked me for a cell phone. I asked her, "Just where are you going to be without an adult so that you would need a cell phone to get in touch with me?!" I don't think so! I didn't even have one until after I got married. It's...

mommydearest I would take them to Disneyworld. I went there when I was 17 and I had a great time. I know my kids would love it. We would like to go when our youngest child is 5. He just turned 2 so we have a few years to save up for it.

What's the best "vacation" you ever took as a family when you were a kid?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 19 Feb 07

Mine was a week at a state cabin in a state park in the mountains. It wasn't anything particularly expensive or high priced and trendy but the memories we made we can still laugh about today!

mommydearest Well, I wouldn't really say you are a grandpa since you aren't married to the grandma. But, if you want the baby to call you by a name and if the family wants it too, then I see no harm in it.

mommydearest I was 18 and pregnant. I think we were too young. Had I not been pregnant I think I would have waited until I was at least 22 or 23. But, it didn't work out that way. We are still together though. We have 3 kids now and we still love each other very much.
