Two articles worth reading…

For once, I actually agree with not only one- but TWO articles from TIME!

If you have a minute, check them out.

If I had a penny, for every time someone asked me with concern when I was having another child…

Only-Child Myths Persist

And the spanking issue. Most of my readers understand where I stand on this issue, and I think this article is Right. On. Point.

The Long Term Effects of Spanking

I’d love to hear your thoughts about them!

    I thought that it was decided that I had enough kids for both of us that is why you weren’t having anymore. HUM Guess I need to rethink that. LOL.
    I personally believe that it doesn’t matter how many kids you have as long as YOU are taking care of them. NOT your older kids NOT the government YOU. I also believe that there are different circumstances for having each number of children you choose to have. I always felt a calling to have a large amount of kids. I dream of having 6 and with having 4 already I still have the calling to have more. I don’t judge others for having 1 I don’t just others for having NONE. But what I do judge parents on is having kids because they feel that is what they SHOULD do NOT because that is what they want to do. Kids are a blessing and should be treated that way. Not treated like a trophy and ignored.

    OH let me add this also. I don’t agree with the article at all. I have 4 kids and let me tell you. My older 2 are the highest achievers you will ever meet. (the younger to are to young to tell yet) But I don’t think it matters on the number of kids you have but the amount of time you spend with them and that you make sure they know that EVERYTHING matters. You instill high values on the important things. You also have to make sure that each child knows that they are equal with the rest. In our household we put high values on education. We teach our kids to reach till they can’t reach any more and then reach even higher. Our kids are far from lacking with having multiple kids. Our kids actually have more than most kids.

    I sure do agree with you on that! You are a fantastic mother to all of your children- but I have seen before, first hand, that some mothers can’t handle more than one. And when those mothers have more than one, it’s quite disastrous.
