I just asked my toddler daughter to give me a hug and she looked at me, rolled her eyes and then gave me the smallest hug possible. I thought that kids did not get that attitude until they were older. She is not even 2 yet! Have...

KAStew :) My daughter is almost 2, and when I ask for a kiss she squeals and yells "noooooo!!!" and throws her hands over her mouth and laughs. Funny, but sad as the mommy!! So now I just tell her I'm gonna kiss her ears, so she covers them, then I go for the lips....

KAStew I really agree and believe in this response. No one (age 3, or 30) likes to be told to do something for no reason. Especially if it requires stopping a fun or enjoyable activity to do something not so fun. My daughter will be 2 in a few weeks, and I always...

If you were given a significant amount of money, what would you do with it?

CRSunrise @CRSunrise (2981) • United States 8 Jan 09

If I were given a significant amount of money, say $40,000, and so was my husband. We would use it to pay off all our credit cards, pay off our cars, and maybe a few other things. That money would be a big help. That's the kind...

KAStew If I was given $40,000... I would pay off credit cards, our truck payment, and put the rest toward a downpayment on a house. With the economy the way it is, and me being a stay at home mom, moeny gets incredibly tight, and sometimes seems like we hit the end...

What was the book that turned you into a bookworm?

chance2691 @chance2691 (566) • Philippines 8 Jan 09

A LOT OF US HAVE THE ADDICTION FOR READING BOOKS. We just do. It's like our piece of escape, what with living straight-edged lives and all. Paper and ink is our form of fun, and words are our way of life. But of course, it all...

KAStew Ooo, when I first thought about it, I thought "The Giver" in 8th grade is the first book I can remember LOVING. But after seeing Roald Dahl, I remembered the BFG, and still love that book to this day. It's so great to have children's authors like that who can...

Did you have a set bedtime when you were growing up?

coolmailraj @coolmailraj (2459) • India 7 Jan 09

Until I was in Jr. High my school day bedtime was 8:30pm and 9:30pm on the weekends. These hours were only negotiable on holidays and special occasions. To me, this seems like a bad idea. So, did you have a set bedtime?...

KAStew I definately had a bedtime growing up, but can't remember exactly what time it was... I'm thinking around 9 (this is elementary/middle school age). As we got older we were allowed to stay up later, but at some point my mom always told us we should go up to...

What do you think is an ideal age to have kids?

schwing_girl89 @schwing_girl89 (278) • United States 5 Jan 09

Hypothetically speaking, let's say that you are financially, emotionally, responsibly ready to have children. What do you think would be the ideal age to conceive? Some parents don't want to be "old" when they have children, and...

KAStew I will have to look it up, but I think the prime birthing age for a woman is somewhere between 18 and 26, or something like that??Not to say you will have problems if you're older, but it's more likely the older you are. And I know past something like the mid...

KAStew First off, red is not a specific girl color (such as pink would be associated with girls). And even if it were, at 3 a child is not yet aware of that, so don't worry about that at all. My daughter is almsot 2, and she's into brown ::shrug:: Also, little...

The gift of self-esteem.....

amazingheart @amazingheart (781) • Philippines 7 Jan 09

Self-esteem brings a positive self-image, adequate amounts self confidence and enough resilience to see your child through rough time. Little, everyday habits are all you need. 1. Try not to give your child a name he will be...

KAStew Really good post... and just to ad, allowing a child to explore and understand their own emotions leads to a confident child and later, an adult. I always hate to see a child told to "stop crying" when a parent has disciplined them. In most cases a child is...

KAStew I'm glad to hear other moms breastfeeding! :) In some cases I understand that it doesn't work for a mom to breastfeed, but unfortunately there isn't always a lot of info readily available to moms who don't seek it out for themselves, and it leads to a lot of...

KAStew My daughter doesn't sleep with us in general, but there are times when she does. I was not object to cosleeping, and in the beginning when I first had her it made nursing at night easier. But Daddy canned the idea quickly (he is a very sound sleeper and was...
