Not everyone in the old days believed in spanking their children. My grandmother was born in 1919. She never got a spanking when she was a child. Her father must not have believed in coporal punishment because he told off a teacher for slapping her once. Strangely enough, my grandmother used...

I agree. If a parent is going to spank, it should be done as you describe, BeeKissed.

Back to the original topic of the thread. I don't know how old you all are but kids were NOT better when I was young(I am 42) When I was young, I knew lots of kids that were trying pot or having sex. Many were latch key kids and did all sorts of bad things when their parents weren't around...

I have a different theory on this. Some parents interact with their children mainly when they are angry. They ignore them the rest of the time. As long as the child is not causing the parent to notice them, they tend to act as though the child is not there. Yes, they take physical care fo their...

I spanked my children when they were very young and decided that for them, it wasn't a good form of punishments. Spankings are not effective for my own children. Although I realize that they were effective for other children. I spend a lot of time talking to my kids. They obey me. I even had...

Both my daughters started developing early. My 11 year old was crying in her bedroom. My 16 year old son asked her worriedly what was wrong. She told him that she was just having a 'girl moment." :rolleyes: my 13 year old gets the giggles for no reason. That can be almost as annoying as the...

It is almost as if our culture teaches kids to be embarrassed if they are too smart.

Does raw milk taste different then store bought? I have never had anything but the type of milk that comes from the store. NC is not a raw milk friendly state either.

I just realized that my post sounded as if I was just simply talking about some random guy. Connor Dowd is my ancestor. One of my forefathers fought on the wrong side of the Revolutionary War. That sounds like something that someone related to me would do. LOL :P

Kids in the U.S. spend more hours in school (1,146 instructional hours per year) than do kids in the Asian countries that persistently outscore the U.S. on math and science tests Singapore (903), Taiwan (1,050), Japan (1,005) and Hong Kong (1,013). That is despite the fact that Taiwan, Japan...

Whooo...what a wonderful idea. :) :drool

On mother's day my hubby makes whatever I want for breakfast and I always ask for sausage and gravy over biscuits.:drool

I don't understand who decided which meals are breakfast only or dinner only. It isn't as if the food's nutritional quality changes during certain times of the day. Instead of sugary cereal, my kids eat leftovers often for breakfast. If it is good enough for dinner, why not breakfast? I make...

I used to live in Red Oak, Iowa. My husband was stationed in Nebraska but we thought the drive was worth it for the inexpensive land and house. Sadly, the military relocated us.

On my father's side, his grandparents were Irish. On my mother's mother's side several of her family members were from Ireland. A man named Conner Dowd(or O'Dowd-can't remember which) came from Ireland before the revolutionary war and fought on the British side. You can find his name on...

that is why I am looking into this now and not a year from now when my hubby finishes his education. :)

thanks. :)

I was looking forward to a sloppy Whopper with cheese. So I was disappointed. Maybe I will try to make my own based on what I remember.

It doesn' t matter who did the study, it is important to understand how they came up with their figures. Americans eat a lot of junk food, but the amount that they showed was out of porportion to what I am seeing in other families around me. I would like to know how they arrived at their...

My sister lives in India and has a very sweet woman who cooks for her. SHe says that the food is delicious.
