When you have more than one young child how do you do birthdays?  I have seen families who give more presents to the child whose birthday it actually is but the other young children in the family will still receive gifts so that they are not upset or jealous. 

Recently, I had a little cousin who had a birthday and I thought about bringing his younger sister a present too in order to avoid any jealousy that might occur.  Sharing is something we are all trying to teach my little cousins but I began to think that bringing presents for everyone may not be the best idea.  I mean it is one thing to share your toys with your sibling but should you have to share your birthday simply to prevent the other child from whining?

Dora the Duckie here is Little Miss Sugar’s favorite toy. She has had it since birth, and likes to play with her pretty often. She sometimes even brings Dora to the table to have lunch with her while “they” watch cartoons.

Yesterday when the living room floor looked like Hurricane Katrina ran through it, I asked the girls to clean it up. As usual, their reaction was as though they had to clean poo off the toilet.

I understand first hand how much cleaning sucks sometimes. But if I continue to clean up after them, they learn nothing, and I am a maid for the next 16 + years. Yea, that's not going to happen. More Here...

Me and my fiance have been discussing kids lately. One of the main things we talked about is taking interest in what our future kids do.

I think it is important to be involved in my kids' lives because believe it or not, being there for them is extremely vital in their maturity process. I mean, you can help them make healthy choices about sex, school, drugs, or things of that nature. Being there also doesn't have to mean scolding them all the time. We can just listen to them and encourage them whenever they need our support.

Having said that, those tools I mentioned in my last sentence will help your kids to succeed later in life and will also show them how to lead a fruitful and happy life. I'm so glad I had a mother who was so encouraging and supportive of all the things I have done or am going to do.

Some parents may not realize this but you guys are a big influence on how your kids think and what they do. More Here...
