It goes both ways: negligence is bad and sheilding your child from anything and everthing JUST to keep them safe is also bad. <BR/><BR/>And "Or that it is worth the loss of poets, to have children not getting killed and stolen?" is the silliest thing I have ever heard. You have missed the point entirely.<BR/>As pasadenamom pointed out, horrible things can happen even to those who do everything in their power to stop them.

Adults who are older than someone they are disagreeing with always use age as an insult as soon as they run out of points/evidence to support what they are saying! I am only 21; I realize that is young with concern to one's entire lifespan but I am graduating college in May and have had a lot more intense "experiences" in my life than many who are older than I am. Young people cannot help their age; we can only try to carry ourselves and speak in such a way that people will look beyong that and listen to what we have to say. It's seriously a form of discrimination, ageism! Also, are you seriously knocking someone and questioning their intelligence because they enjoy Harry Potter? If you refuse to read it or have read it but did not manage to get pleasure out of it, then you are the one who is lacking! Sure it is aimed at children, but it is so well written, has great twists, and is rich in detail! It is wonderful. And now to quote that amazing book:<BR/><BR/>"Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young..." Too true; we cannot see things from your perspective as well as you can see from ours, because you have actually been in our position before!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-24266193002479356032007-12-15T11:12:00.000-05:002007-12-15T11:12:00.000-05:00True.

And that means not letting them run around unchaperoned over half a football fields length away! <BR/><BR/>My comparison to Ms. Spears is to point out what could happen. The media is not 100% truthfull? REALLY? So when I see Spears on tv with her child on her lap in her car, I'm missunderstanding what I'm seeing? Or when they show pictures on the evening news of her running red lights with her child in the car, I'm watching biased news? People, it's called common sense, and obviously some moms don't have any! <BR/><BR/>Call bad parenting what you want, but negligance happens in many ways. Like letting your 20 some month old have free reign at the park then broadcasting the location on a blog so a child predator gets a heads up! Way to go Pasadenamom!

Being a SAHM has gotten financially harder with every passing year. I'm expecting our second in June and am going to do my very best to be with them until they are both at shcool age. I figure I can go back to school and finish up the nursing program at PCC in the mean time. <BR/><BR/>There is a lot a new mommy like myself can learn from moms like you. You seem to have a fine family and are willing to sacrifice and do whatever it takes to raise your children in the best way possible. I hope to provide my children the best quality life (good shcools, happy fam, strong foundation etc.) possible. <BR/><BR/>I once nannied for a wonderful family in Whittier, and learned so much from the working mommy.

I would love to come back, but my hands are sort of tied.<BR/>I ended up growing up mostly in Newport Beach, which was a fantastic, lazy beach town when I was a kid, but sadly turned into the height of selfish, materialistic snobbery by the time my kids were born. We knew we had to get them out of there, lest they grow up saying things like, "Get out of my eye line." So, when an opportunity came up for us to come ot Texas, we jumped on it. <BR/>Hated to leave the beach, but again, kids first. We enjoyed Dallas very much for the first many years, as the kids were growing up in an "old fashioned" family neighborhood where lots of moms stayed home to raise kids and we knew and socialized with many of our neighbors. Now, as the kids are in Jr. High, High School and one in college, we cannot reasonably disrupt their lives at this point. My husband and I talk about getting out of here for somewhare a little prettier or nicer, but we will wait until our kids are settled into their own lives at this point. And where we end up might just depend on where they end up. Although we do plan to get a house in California at some point no matter what so that we can at least be "home" sort of regularly.<BR/>We visit very often and it always just feels like home to be back. At the same time, I feel good about the upbringing we gave the kids away from all of the plasticity (which has, unfortunately, reached here too by now.) <BR/>California does have so much good to offer too. Enjoy it all you can!<BR/><BR/>PS People, Lacy Park is one of those places where the kids are safe to wander a bit. Lots of grass and you have a great view (except the great skating/bike path I loved so much that went behind the trees some, but I doubt Pasadenamom's toddler is going there.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-27376672445900823732007-12-14T11:58:00.000-05:002007-12-14T11:58:00.000-05:00Oh, yes, yes, Mom.
