Are you obsessed with buying your kids clothes?

  • Posted on February 26, 2011 at 1:21 pm

I love clothes shopping for my daughter. She is 9 months old, and every time I go to the mall I have to buy her a new outfit or shoes or hair bow or something. I try to get things on sale or clearance as often as possible, so I don’t spend a fortune. Do you moms have this addiction? Does it go away when you have more kids?
LOL my excuse is “I’ll have more kids soon… hopefully at least one will be a girl, so she’ll wear this clothes, so I’m basically shopping for two!”

Parents: Do you have a clothes shopping addiction for your kids?

  • Posted on February 6, 2011 at 7:21 am

Am I the only one with this problem? Every time I go to the mall for something I actually need I always end up seeing something that would look nice on my daughters or my son. I buy it, I can’t resist. Then I feel bad so I go out and buy one more thing for every child (I have 4). I mean I don’t spend a drastic amount of money, and frankly my hubby doesn’t really mind, but I was wondering if any other mums are like this?

Its just I enjoy buying things for her. She doesn’t even know what materialistic things are! Is it really going to “spoil” her buy Me buying her things often?

My daughter keeps stripping off her clothes and nappy at nighttime.?

  • Posted on August 29, 2010 at 9:25 am

I’m trying to potty train in the day but at night she wont keep her clothes or nappy on. The nappies she is taking off are usually dry and unsused. This is happening atleast seven times a night and I keep having to strip her bed and remake it. Shes usually sat at her gate in a puddle of wee. I tried putting her potty in her bedroom, stopping her from having drinks after six, tried pull ups, tried tying her clothes on, tried getting her to choose her own clothes. I’m at a loss of what to do. The only thing that seems to work is smacking her bottom and I hate doing it and i have to do it again the next night so she is obviously not learning from it. I’ve tried taking away her toys, tried telling her not to do it, tried a star reward and sticker chart. Shes doing exceedingly well on her potty in the day but at nighttime shes just not ready yet. Please help!
I don’t spank her for using her nappy i did it because she kept taking them off and then getting back into bed and weeing. It just got to three then four in the morning and I was tired. I don’t smack her bottom hard just a pat to let her know shes done wrong and shes so shocked that she actually does as shes told. I hate doing it and it makes me feel guilty as hell.

Experienced Mom’s of girls! What size clothes should I buy for my daughter?

  • Posted on August 28, 2010 at 1:19 pm

My daughter is one of those difficult sizes. She is 21 months old, 34 inches tall and has a long torso and tiny waist.

Recently I have become addicted to shopping online but I was going through a bunch of her clothes and trying them on her, and her 18 month skirt is too big, and so are her 24 month pants without adjustable waist. She can wear 3T shirts. I don’t have a clue what sizes to order her online. Any experienced moms out there that had the same problem?

Make Your Ex Girlfriend Want You Back Fast

  • Posted on July 2, 2009 at 2:21 pm

You had probably lost relationships in the past and had move on but the last one is hard to take off your mind. There’s something more you want in the relationship and of course you can’t stop feeling how lost you are without the love of your life. But the problem is, you do not know where and how to approach your ex-girlfriend. Maybe you’re afraid that she might not want you back but you’ll never know this unless you try. What you need is a little push to make your ex-girlfriend want you back.

Divulge your thoughts and feelings to a close friend, verbalizing your problem can actually help you solve it.

Make yourself presentable. Those sleepless nights might have left you looking awful. If possible, shop for new clothes and have a haircut so that when your ex-girlfriend sees you, she’ll notice how refreshed you are. And hey, it does not bring any good wooing her back looking disheveled.

When you’re finally ready, call her up and ask for a lunch or coffee date. Bring her to your favorite spots so that she’ll feel at ease talking to you again.

Do not forget to bring flowers on your date.

Then say you’re sorry of the things that you did that hurt her. Tell her that you’ve been thinking about the relationship and that you two can still make it work.

If she’s still upset, give her space and respect that she needs time to take it all in and eventually think it over. When she’s done with all that and if you’re lucky, she’ll be the one to call you.

Most girls tend to play hard to get so just be patient and devote time and effort to make things work again.

Lastly, mean what you say. You would not want to go through the same heart aches again so learn from the past and strive to make the relationship last

Whoever said maintaining a relationship is easy? It needs more than time and effort to make it work. Things around you might change but the key to a better relationship hasn’t. Communicate well with your partner and settle every issue.

Build A Two Way Communication With Your Child

  • Posted on July 1, 2009 at 9:06 pm

One of the most frustrating challenges we face as parents is communicating effectively with our child. Though we strive to open an honest two-way line of communication with our child, we become frustrated when it appears their attention isn’t solely on us or the conversation at hand. Yet we seem to find it’s perfectly acceptable to discuss things with them while reading the paper, folding clothes, or working on the computer and then are often left wondering when the lines of communication broke.

Children are by nature easily distracted and not always responsive to their environment. It is the responsibility of the parent to emphasize positive patterns of communication and ensure the child learns that ignoring communication is not acceptable. Early prevention, in the form of educating your child about the proper forms of communication, is the key to ensuring that the non-verbal agreement does not take hold. Teach your child by example. Remain completely and totally focused on them and the conversation at hand. Turn off the television; allow calls to go to the voicemail, or go in a room where there are no distractions.

Talk to your child, and explain to them in age-appropriate terms how they are communicating and why their method doesn’t work. Show your child how to communicate effectively, even when the questions are hard.

Make yourself an active listener. Let them voice their opinion or side of the story and ask questions to ensure you understand their viewpoint. Be constant in the manner in which you communicate with you child. Send the same message with each and every interaction. Allow your child to see that you will call their attention to those times that the unwanted behavior rears its ugly head.

Kids will be kids and they will sometimes be distractive and non-communicative. You are the expert in knowing your child’s behavior and can best judge the improvement in their communications. The best way to ensure healthy communication patterns is to model positive communication skills.
