possibly! some tots take more time to get over the feeling of knowing they are not a baby any more. i would say after he is proficiently potty trained he will realize he is a "big boy" and will want to act it.

my 12 yr old has recently gotten a tongue for use of unacceptable language. I know at that age its commen for them to be "mouthy" but this is far more then that. what would be an appropriate punishment for cussing at this age? we have done groundings and discussing why these words are...

would depend on the types of "babyish" things he does. but dont ignore it. and dont give into it. just have to work with him to get him back into acting a toddler instead of a baby.

Ah i see.. thats not how i meant it to come out but i do understand .. we talk openly and i ask them how they feel and tell them they are more then welcome to call him anytime they wish. the problem with that is when he answers hes usually been drinking and they cant understand what hes saying...

My husband and I have recently seperated due to his poor judgement and failure to care of the children while he is in charge. He had a drinking problem and in the last 6 months that we were together before the seperation the oldest of my kids, 12 and 9, had seen and heard many of the arguements...

I actually breast fed 2 of my first 3 but had to pump for my last 2 ( twins) I did child care my whole working career so it was extra convenient to nurse and pump for all of them.. my 3rd child was awefully sick as an infant and she would not keep breast milk down she did better with the...

My 11 yr old has picked up a habit of bad mouthing others behind their backs, such as "friends" teachers etc. She has a tendancy of being mouthy to her teachers as well. Just the other day she told her teacher, about an in class assignment, Ill do it when im ready, not right now. She is the...

Just wanted some input on how others deal with lying. I do not tolerate lying for any reason in my house and the consequence is usually a spanking, although not always. It does depend on how serious and how big the lie, but always has a major consequence. It works for my kids they know the...

sadly i believe this is a stage.. my 5 yr old went through the same thing around 9 months.. she never slept even her naps during the day would be only half hour naps.. we tried keeping her up til midnight in hopes she would sleep tilat least 6 am.. no she was up by 3 and would stay up til around...

i have always made my kids lunches they do not eat the school lunches since my oldest was in kindergarten.. she would come home and say the lunches were disgusting... so the parents could go eat with their child on friday and it was always disgusting .. i make lunches for 3 kids... salad...

my kids never eat school lunches.. they are always sent with a lunch and of much higher nutrition and they are MORE then willing to eat because they help pack it. i never pay in for lunch for any of my 3 who are in school.. and it will be the same when the other 2 start.

thought i would share the latest from my 3 yr old. as i was getting them dressed to play in the snow he asked if my other son was going to play outside too. i told him no hes grounded.. the 3 yr old looks at me and says " you smushed him into the ground"

i have 3 yr old twins so we get a varity of the oddest things. but my daughter would say "nobby" instead of naughty... and "nabana" instead of banana .. and if you tried to correct her she would say... THATS WHAT I SAID .. most things they say have me on the floor laughing ...lol
