kylaleigh`s poll Show results | Hide results


Other-poll poll do you and your children have any traditions? Like for example every day I go get a cup of coffee on the way home from droping off my oldest at school and I always buy my youngest (3) a doughnut with sprinkles. He doesnt eat all of it just kinda nibbles on it. Now it`s `mama you got my doughnut?` LOL not the healtheist tradition but it`s cute.

We get a doughnut after each doctors appointment(hers or mine).

Every year I get my cousin a new set of Jimmy Hendrix guitar picks. He`s an amazing guitar player, especially for how young he is. That`s tradition just between the two of us. We had a few traditions with my cousins when they were little and I was caring for them full time. My husband and I will continue the new bathing suit at easter and dying the eggs and making the confetti eggs traditions with our kids and we have a few others up our sleeves that come from our own childhood. For example, my husband`s father would read The Hobbit aloud starting at the first frost of the winter and I used to read A Christmas Carol aloud to my cousins starting on Dec 23 and finish on Christmas Eve after dinner. I make a stack of about eighty tortillas every Thanksgiving instead of rolls.

Aside from holiday traditions which we have a lot of! At Target we always get a half a bag of popcorn and a kids size slurpy, at Walmart its a sticker and I roll the cart fast over those yellow bumps in the front of the store, Saturdays I make a HUGE wok of fried rice and we eat it throughout the day, family movie nights consists of every snack and goodie imaginable, when daddy gets home he wrestles and plays with them for a good THREE hours til its bed time. prayers and 2 songs for each kid at night. and grandma always has chocolate at her house.

The only tradition we have so far (hes only three months) is that when I bathe him I put him in the water and let him `swim` while the water is running on his tootsies he LOVES it and expects it every bath, if I dont do it he gets so upset afterwards. haha

Our tradition is SUNDAY. lol DH gets up with the kids while I lay in for an extra hour or two. When I get up DH has started cooking breakfast. We always have Bacon, Eggs, Toast and sometime Sausages. I clear up then we will either go out with the kids, go visit family or laze about. Then DH cooks a full Sunday Roast dinner..YUM YUM. Our day to day tradition/routine is get up with the kids, when DH goes to work our 3 yr old has to have a kiss, cuddle, handshake and high five (in that order) if DH goes without doing it DS will cry for ages. Also DS has a story every night and it`s always 1 of 10 Charlie and Lola Books.

We watch spongebob every afternoon when she gets home from school and eat lunch. Also when we go to the gas station she always comes in with me and I let her pick out a drink and a treat. We used to stop at starbucks and get frap`s but since I don`t work every day that tradition has stopped for the time being.

I wouldn`t call it a tradition but more of a routine. Our traditions are watching Muppet`s Christmas Carrol on x-mas eve at mom`s. Every year second Saturday of August all our family (dad`s side) gets together for a corn boil and have a contest of who can eat the most corn on the cob then have family games (we`re over 40 in the family).

Only tradition we seem to have picked up is Daddy always takes LO up for her bath, tickles her like mad while getting her undressed and they run to the bath tub! Random I know but makes me giggle everytime seeing them giggling away at who gets there first! x

  1. Bookworms - is anyone reading the new Khaled Hosseini book `And the Mountains Echoed`? I pre-ordered it on kindle which should have arrived today (I haven`t checked yet) but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a group read?
  2. HELP - my 3 year old daughter is developing a phobia to fluff! I feel responsible, I have a ridiculous phobia of bees and wasps - to the point it hinders my ability to enjoy playing out in the garden during the summer, it`s detrimental. My kids have picked up on this and are sh*t scared of bees and wasps, but with my daughter it was soon spiders, then ants and now, tiny black bits of fluff - which she finds all over; on her pillow etc. It`s genuine terror in her face as she screams she can see them moving and they`re `going to get her` or `bite her`. What do I do? She`s old enough to be reasoned with that they don`t move and we pick most of them off before bedtime, but she wakes in the night and starts crying that `The Fluff`s coming...!!` How can I help her? Do you think this is just a phase or do you think it`s worth seeking some sort of external, professional help to nip this in the bud? I HATE the thought of passing on my phobias and anxieties to my children - it`s no way to live to be a constant worrier about things beyond your control and I;ve suffered with anxiety and panick attacks for nearing 6 years now and can`t ever remember just feeling `normal` and `well` - I can`t remember my life before my first panick attack. This is NOT what I want for my children...
  3. On Facebook I saw one of those like pictures, a mom who sent her child to school for days wearing out of style `ugly` clothes because she was bullying another girl about her clothes. Mom`s yourselves, what do you think of this type of punishment?
  4. Can anyone relate? My 4 year old is making all sorts of amazing connections which is great that he`s thinking about the world, but some of his thoughts are quite deep. He`s a natural born worrier (gets that from me!) and I try to protect him from as much as I can but there`s things that can`t be avoided. Ie, ever since Easter, he`s been plagued with fear about getting holes in him like Jesus (he learnt it at Kindy). Well just this evening he came out with `Why do you and Margo (Grandma) have holes in your ears like Jesus? Did you get your ears nailed to a cross?` He`s also obsessed with the fear of death.
  5. Family of 4 flying Southwest tomorrow (2.5-hr flight), baby riding in carseat on plane so can only sit by window. Flight is full. Which seating arrangement would you choose...
  6. I`ve just opened up my facebook newsfeed this morning and there`s a whole bunch of photos of Saturday night antics. First there was one from my 19 year old cousin with her and her friends (looking thrashed out, dirty, bits hanging out of places they shouldn`t and just overall skanky), and another from a friend of mine who is 15 years older on a rare night out with her school friends (who are all mums) who looked gorgeous, fresh, clean, sexy yet classy (let the clothes rather than the skin do the talking - ie you don`t need your ass and boobs hanging out to show off a nice little figure) Is it just me, or are young girls looking thrashier than women in their 20s, 30s and 40s?
  7. Do you or someone you know raise their now school aged child with attachment parenting (baby wearing, never ever allow the baby to cry it out, cosleeping, baby let snacks and feedings, etc) 8f so, how does the school aged child/ren compare to their peers?
  8. You can only have three of the four when buying a house. Which do you sacrifice?
