Kevinsmilfx2`s poll Show results | Hide results


Baby-poll poll For stay at home moms: Do you worry that your child(ren) are not receiving adequate socialization? I worry about my soon-to-be 7 month old.
(Baby poll by Kevinsmilfx2, 1164 days ago)
No, I don't worry. There'll always be Kindergarten.
Yes, I worry about it often.
Here's what I do....
Angry
Happy that you don't have to spend the money
Don't really care either way
Stop whining! At least you have caring ppl in your family!

I would try and have playdates if possible more so for sharing purposes and learning that it`s ok to not have to play with mommy all day. My son is now 13 months and I just started watchign my sisters son who is now 16 months, three months ago and at first there was a lot of fighting over toys and now they play great together. Actually he is worse when my nephew isn`t here because he wants me to sit and play onthe floor 24/7!!

I tried going to a mom and tot play group in my area, twice. both times all the kids did were scream, hit, take toys from each other, pull hair, etc. my daughter didn`t even want to get off my lap, so I figured I wouldn`t push her to do something she didn`t want to and I didn`t go back. I`m sure they aren`t that bad in other places, but I was horrified! She plays well with her cousin and a few other little kids around her age here, so it doesn`t worry me.

I don`t think you have to worry when they`re that young, closer to 2 is the age for peer social skills to be emerging (and only emerging at that). This little, adults provide adequate socialization.

My son will be one and has never had to go to child care or really have a sitter for that matter, we live hundreds of miles from friends and family, and I def think it hurts him a bit. but it could just be the age. Sometimes I get discouraged

I work out with a daycare there...very fun. Also I started pre school at 30 months old...and my daughter loves it. At our local mall there is an indoor playground I go to..shop, exercise, and socialize! A lot of my friends also have kids my and it makes it fun and easy to go and meet more mommies.

I worried a little w/ my 1st born, but now that I have 3 I dont worry @ all. Preschool is where they really learn =) so dont worry.

Kevins- haha, that`s funny. I was wondering why those were options for your poll, they didn`t really go. lol...

Kevinsmilfx2 (1163.7 days ago)
Umm...someone else`s poll selections are in my poll. ??????? Mine are the first 3 choices. Not sure where the other answers came from, but they sound very angry, lol.

This is the exact reason me & my husband are planning on leaving our son in daycare, even though my school semester is over & I don`t work. He LOVES it @ daycare, and it has really helped him to open up alot.

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
