What does the record say about kids of divorced parents becoming, you know, divorcees themselves, basket cases, drug addicts, and $2 whores.
I know what popular wisdom says, I know what *counter*-wisdom says, and I know there are examples on all sides of the spectrum.
But what does the *record* say about the odds of divorced kids turning out alright?
Thanks.

How Do You Avoid Bathroom Accidents When Out With Young Kids?

Tangkau — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 05:39:20 +0000

My son finds it difficult to ‘hold on’ when we are out and about. He turned four in February. My other kids are twin 7 y/o girls and a 4 month old baby.
When my son needs to go, he needs to go NOW. I find it hard to get him there in time with 3 other young kids in tow. He always goes to the bathroom before we leave the house.
He was a late potty trainer and only really got the hang of it about 6 months ago.

How Do Kids Fight 1 Day & Back Friends The Next, But Not Adults?

Tangkau — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 08:02:13 +0000

I have noticed that young kids are more forgiving than adults. If the neighbor kid hit your child while playing then the parents get upset. While the kids are sent inside, the parents argue and even threaten to call the police. A few days later the kids are playing together again, but the parents can’t stand one another. Why do the kids work it out, but not the parents?

What Accessories Should I Put In A Kids Bathroom?

Tangkau — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 05:31:59 +0000

The theme is whimsical street scene with cars, trucks, buses. I used to have all the matching bath stuff, but the paint is all chipping off, and they look terrible. What can I accessorize with instead? I was going to put candles in there, but that doesn’t make much sense in a kids bathroom.

How Much Homework Does Your Kids Have Vs What Grade They Are In?

Tangkau — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 08:09:40 +0000

I really want to know how much homework your kids have when they come home from school everyday. (Well or how much they just had!) I don’t remember ever having the homework my kids have.
I will start – mine are in 3rd and 4th grade.
3rd grader has this math assignment every single night (it is one of two papers) even on Fridays and is supposed to read for about a half an hour.
4th grader has math of about 30 problems (pre-algerba) spelling words written 5x each (10 words) and has so to read for about that same half an hour. Also on Fridays too.
I never understood the reading thing, they read for like an hour everyday IN school, both my boys read well above their grade levels.
I think it is too much homework myself.
How does your kids school stack up?
Oh and what state do you live in? (I live in Wyoming)

My wife is only 19, and im 24. We have 4 kids (we were only planning on having 3) a 5 year old girl, 4 year old boy, and two 5 month old twins. Recently I posted a question about her possibly being pregnant again. But now that I know she is pregnant, she is going to be busy with the new baby coming in a couple of months. Do you have any suggestions on what I can do to keep them all entertained until my wife is ok?
