Well, to me she was rude, and I'm not the only one who thinks that
0-1, I can't stand that stage, I rather have age 3 and above, I want to avoid 2 It's not like I can have them for 0-1, ship them off when they're 2, and get them back when they're 3 It doesn't work like that And I don't mind when children talk back to me, it means they're human and have a mind of their own and they're getting more dependent, which is what I want her to learn, to be dependent and speak her mind I don't want a child that does everything I say, I want her to argue a bit Just not cry, I hate crying >< *Raisui no tsubomi sakaseyou* |

Yeah i agree I think for me when a child develops a mind of their own it adds more personality to them. It gives me something I can see who they are or what they are like. You can't tell that from a screaming bean of poop (no offense) ... I like them running around like psychotic monkeys.. that is what a kid does but the screaming and shrill noises when there is no reason or an unknown reason is too much for me.

japan's not too laid back though. -

I'd probably want to specifically not raise my kids in japan just because it's just not very chill. There seems to be a lot of running around, doing structured activities like Ju Do and Yoga and Flower Arranging and Sports and Calligraphy and whatnot...while these are all awesome for teaching kids socialization, determination, and so forth...I'd kinda rather my kids got so bored they ended up riding down a hill in a wagon like calvin and hobbes probably i just want my kid to have a ton of free time because of how much i loved it when i was little.
also, I would like to say that it is very important to remember that kids are just as individual as adults are. I pretty much had to raise my little sisters too, and also spent a lot of time taking care of my cousins and other kids of all ages. Some of them did do a lot of tantrums and screaming and crying at 3/4yrs, but just as many did that more as babies. Then of course the babies who screamed a lot became the kids who screamed a lot. also, on raising kids: my advice is just to make every decision based on love for your little girl. if you always keep her best interests in mind, and show her lots of love, she'll turn out just fine. Also, if you get a toddler you may not be able to name her...i would have been furious if someone tried to change my name when i was four BUT you can always give her a middle name! |

life as a parent -

You guys are cute. Don't like crying? Don't like $#!t? Heh, as a parent, your standards really change. You will find yourself checking a diaper with the same finger with which you will, moments later, pop a chip into your mouth. Your will hear your child cry in the other room and think to yourself, "That's not the pain cry, that's the frustrated cry. He'll either take care of it himself or bring it to me." That's not all; you may be sitting around focused on something when your kids feeds you something and you'll think, "I hope that was food." Don't want that sort of life? Get a goldfish.
