CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY AN 8 YEAR OLD GIRL WOULD NEED A QUEEN SIZE BED?!?!?
Am I torturing my kids because they share a room?
Are we torturing them because some nights are no tv nights at all for anyone and we play outside or we read books to each other?
Game night must take place at least twice a month as a family.
I really am beginning to think we are some freaks. Yet I love those boys and I am happy with these decisions so roll your eyes at me. That's fine!
Oh and I think a $3500 wedding cake is C R A Z Y just in case you were wondering what I thougth about THAT.

Tammy you are not freaks. We too have rules that I wonder if others roll their eyes at us.
Noah cannot watch TV on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday ever. Those are nights we focus on other things; homework, playing outside, reading, etc etc.
Noah isn't allowed to play video games; violent or otherwise. I feel he doesn't need it, don't want him to become addicted, seems it is unnecesary junk in his life. There is enough to deal with.
He isn't allowed to watch certain shows like Power Rangers or Spongebob or Power Puff girls or tons and tons of stuff on Cartoon Network. He's fine with it, thinks its normal, accepts it. And guess what? It's OK. Doesn't really matter what other parents or people think.
We eat as a family at the table every night without the TV on. Imagine that. What do others think of that?
What I think is we as parents have to do what we think is right for our children in this world we live in. Not all parents think the same. Not everyone has the same thought patterns or even morals. Not in a bad way, just different. We all want our kids to grow up and turn out to be wonderful adults. What we have to remember is that you can't give a child everything they want or they WON'T turn out alright. They won't know right from wrong or the value of things. So when I tell Noah, "no" and it makes him mad or not, I stick to my guns and know that in the end, it'll do him good.
Don't worry what others think. Stick to your guns. It's worth it in the end.
