My grandson love to cook with me. I think he may be a Baker when he grows up. That's his favorite thing to do. Or maybe it's just the cookies...who knows?

My family used a strainer after I cried for a straight hour because I got eggshell in the batter (I dropped a whole egg in and it cracked).

Here's the thing... If you cook with them when they're young, they won't be 30yo and dropping eggshells in the batter. Instead, they'll amaze you with their creativity and palate. Cooking is a skill everyone should learn.

    Its nice NOT to see a 'this is why dont want kids' or 'i hate kids' post from bored panda. Having children isn't everyones cuppa but its a deeply special and priceless privilege only those who are part of a loving family can understand. It is one of the greatest blessings in life. Period.

    From our monthly parenting tweets series, we all have realized how being a mom or a dad is not for everyone. It requires a sheer amount of patience, dedication, and thinking ‘outside the box’ which, unsurprisingly, makes being a parent among the hardest jobs out there.

    The only harder thing than being a parent is being a single parent, tackling all the challenges of raising your kid on your own. So to find out more about the hardships of being a single parent, we spoke with Natalie Maximets, a certified life transformation coach at “Online Divorce,” which is a professional divorce document preparation service with 20 years of market history.

    My sis-in-law was traveling from TX to Phoenix with my children, transporting them back from a visit with their grandparents. They stopped for lunch in Wilcox, AZ. Somewhere close to Benson, AZ, my daughter announced her aunt had left her imaginary friend, Barney, at Burger King and she wanted her to turn around and go back for him. Of course, sis-in-law didn’t. By the time they arrived, sis-in-law was exasperated, because she had just spent the last 200 miles (about 3 hours) in the car with a nonstop crying 4 year old. And suddenly, just like that, there was no more Barney. If you asked my daughter about him, she’d reply, “Barney’s not here, because Aunt Amy left him at Burger King.” We’d all like to believe, Barney’s enjoying his new life, flipping burgers at Burger King.

    “Being a single parent is equally difficult for both a mother and father,” Natalie said and added that most of these difficulties appear during puberty. “Do you think it is easy for a father to talk to his daughter about the first menstrual period or go together to choose the first bra? At the very least, it will be awkward for both.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    However, single dads face quite a lot of other challenges in addition to the ones mentioned above. “Many single fathers do not want to be overly strict with their children. Instead, they try to be soft, caring, and reasonable so that children do not feel neglected. In the same way, single fathers often try to make up for the absence of a mother in the family.” Natalie explained that this often leads to the fathers overindulging their children or giving up discipline altogether

    My 3-year-old daughter locked me out when I went out to the curb to put her sister into the kindergarten carpool car. When I got back to the front door, she gleefully informed me, "Mommy, I've locked you IN!" Then she tried, but couldn't unlock the door. I had to call the fire department to get back inside.

    Moreover, as confusing as it sounds, single fathers are often very protective of their children when solving personal problems. Natalie explained that such behavior happens because “they want to protect their child from everything that can upset or negatively affect them, like a mother hen. New friends or a date? It will be difficult for a potential partner/friend to gain the trust of a single father.”

    Work-life balance is also something that single parents often have trouble with. “It is difficult to provide for their children and be with them all the time (except, of course, if you work remotely). A single father sometimes has to sacrifice something, and children do not always understand this. From here, there may be misunderstandings and alienation between parent and child,” the life transformation coach concluded.

    I had a big stuffed doll that I made in my booth at the craft fair. A dad with a little girl about 3 or 4 years old was browsing. The little girl had a plastic toy cell phone. She put it up to her ear and said "Hello. Just a second." Then she handed it to the doll and said "It's for you." The dad was speechless for a minute, then he said "This means I have to buy it for her, don't I?" It was a hoot to see him walking around the fair with the toddler's hand in one hand and a 3 foot tall rag doll in the other.

    When i was younger i always had the same nightmare every few weeks. Every time i would wake up a bit later then the previous time, and in the end the dream would just be over. When i was like 14 a friend of mine explained a scary movie she just saw with her sister, it was a bit of an older movie so nothing that just came out. She started talking about what happened in the movie and i could finish it because it was exactly like how my nightmare went when i was i kid. I asked my dad if he ever saw the movie my friend told about and he said yes but it was a long time ago (8years or something). Apparently i was in the room with him when he was watching the movie and had years of the same nightmare because of it.

    I was 9 when I mom allowed me to watch Event Horizon, after I begged her to. I've always loved scary movies. I'd caught that one on tv one night and when mom realized what I was watching she said it would scare me, but I insisted it wouldn't. Cue lifetime fear of the dark.

    When I babysit I give them 5 min, for drama, then they have to take it to their room, with the door shut (lights on) so they can wail and lament as long as they want, but without an audience, it lasts way less and less long! in fact, within like to, possibly 3 times they know the drill and are happily playing as the parents leave. Bye Mom, have fun, see ya later!

    I do this with my nephews and their extremely loud friends, who like to come home with us after school when I'm babysitting. We go into the garage and see who can scream and yell the loudest. They get to have x-minutes of scream time

    I'm okay with this up to a point -- there's nearly as much difference between 13 and 24 months as the same in years. Tell me he's 61 months and I'll fight you.

    Why cant people just say a year and one month? Its not that hard. Also i hated it when i used to ask my pregnant mom how much longer until the baby was born and she said "12 weeks" @-@ Do you really want me to do the math?

    Is it really that hard to do the math? All resources and doctor notes for babies list as months, it's easier for everyone to use months. Also verbally, saying "my kid is 13 months" is much easier then saying "my kid is one year and one month old". Also yes, pregnancy is measured in weeks, because each one matters (medically).

    Say you don't have a kid without saying you don't have a kid smh . People don't chose to say months its a medical thing that doctors use . You say months up until they are 2 years old . I feel sad for you if you don't want to do the math when people use months. I honestly didn't understand it myself until i had a kid .

    Its mostly people who don't have kids that get irritated by this. And i understand that it can seem strange. But its a huge difference between a 13 month old and a 23 month old and both are "1yr". Up to 2yrs you usually go by months.

One day he stood and told me " I'm not leaving til you say it" it took a minute to realize what he wanted. I thought he was getting to old for such things, I guess not.

    Aw, he is a handsome little fellow. I would have given him a big hug, and a high five for being brave. A response as simple as that could have turned the situation right around, comforting the little boy while making him see a positive outcome, he learned greatly from this. Saying he should be proud of himself would probably make him stop fretting and stand a little taller and be happy with himself.

    Guysssssss, most 2 year olds aren't vicious. This is an adult projecting to make it funny. A 2 year old is just making an observation. "You told me that big kids use the potty, I use the potty, I am a big kid. That kid does not use the potty, therefore by extrapolation they are a baby" (paraphrasing, obvs)

    Don't know about this one. Teaching your kid that flattery will get you what you want isn't right. All too often flattery won't get you anywhere. ( Like the lady who said to the cop that she understood that pretty women never get tickets. Handing her the ticket the cop replied: "That's true, ma'am.")

    My daughter was a thumb-sucker. Mostly her right one, but one day I caught her sucking on her left thumb. I asked her why she switched and she said her left thumb was her "diet" thumb. She was like 5. I guess she had already seen too many Diet Coke commercials.

    The packages you can choose for school pictures start at a few wallet pictures and the next available step is immediately everything in every size ánd some extra product you don't want. You can have your child's face printed on a lamp shade if you like... It has taken on some bizarre form. When all you want is the digital one to just print it out yourself.

    And then expecting your child to be honest with and not lie to you. Instead of saying "no" we prefer to lie to our children. What does that teach them? 1. Lying is fine (yes, they can tell when you lie to them most of the time, which can lead to trust issues) 2. There is never a "no" for me in this world = entitlement. Now I am not judging parents who do this, I totally understand that desperate situations sometimes lead to unwise decisions and how hard it may be to say "no" to those cute people. But it is necessary for them. And for you.

    Put it in a travel mug with a vacuum seal. It’ll be portable, stay warm longer, and won’t spill if “nobody” knocks it over.

    So your kid has the same habit that a lot of my coworkers had. And the boss was wondering where all the 400 coffee mugs for his 40 people staff went.

    You mean, is $48 a good deal on a pumpkin—-or a couple pumpkins?—-your kid already destroyed?

    You'd better be able to turn it into a carriage after Halloween is over.

    Husband snores so loud and intensely that windows rattle. I’m a light sleeper. Match made in Heaven, right? (/s) If hubs is keeping me awake, I start out tapping him on the arm to get him to roll over. Once I start pretending to roll over and whack him also pretending I swung my arm out as I rolled, I’m done. That’s why I set up the spare bedroom as my escape room, so I can salvage what’s left of the night and at least get a few hours sleep. It’s on the opposite side of the house. With all doors closed, it’s quiet, though with a tolerable dash of vibration as he inhales and exhales…

    By that age, we were chaperoning the littler kids—-also dressed up the first year or two, then we got “too cool” to dress up. Looking back on it, I’m kind of sad we got too cool…

    I still love dressing up, but nobody wants to give candy to a punked out sophomore in HS.

    Maybe not your night, but I can make an educated guess how you woke up.

    Our education was based on the "It won't kill them so let them try it." principle. That's how I learned that a peanut butter, gravy, cucumber, ham sandwich doesn't taste as good as I thought it would.

    I broke my kids of this habit by telling them it was “butt water.” That’s right! You’re drinking water that your butt has been sitting in.

    Wait until they reach a certain age and then you may want to have another one. :-) Or not. Doesn't really matter.

    We're only appreciated when it comes to chores. We do the work, so our younger siblings are free to get attention.
