Cartoon: a good thing or bad?

What's the best thing you can do on a rainy evening? Take a long long nap of course. I did just that, after we got home from rally. The kids on the other hand, spend an entire evening watching cartoon after cartoon, noddy and friends, pocoyo, ben 10 top their favourite cartoon list.

Do you let your kids watch cartoon on tv? Many months ago, my sister re-subscribe the cartoon channels after I banned the kids from watching it. To me, it's a waste of time to let kids watch cartoons, not to mention that tv can be quite addictive. Seriously, if left unattended, they'll sit there an entire day doing nothing else but eyes all glued on the tv. Also, kids who spend so much time watching cartoon spend so much lesser time studying or reading books. Agree?

just go easy on it, kiddo

i figured if i go a little flexible on the parenting rule, i'll be a happy mommy with a happy son. so far, it works. sorry if you're a parent who is 102% against little kids eating whatever candy or sweets, then we sure are not sailing on the same wave. in my boat, my kid gets whatever candy he wants to eat, be it candy bar thanks million or door gift sweets. because i make sure he eats it moderately, not like a pooh bear.

everyone loves getting candy for him, even my sister will save the bridal shower candy bars for him when she attends a friend's bridal shower. i only need to make sure he brushes his teeth at least twice a day, more on a sweet tooth day. i just have to think how much i love sweets when i was little, and how adults are so against us taking sweets. so what we did was eat them too, but just that we lied saying we didn't. that's not very nice isn't it?

so me as a mother, i'm trying to let my kid explore things on his own and eat things kids love to eat. like i said, moderately. so if you want to offer my little boy a personalized kids candy bars, be my guest!

just go easy on it, kiddo.

over a cuppa tea

i freakin hate kids with no manners. i don't know if they are taught manners by their parents or they simply born with no manners, these kind of kids really puts me off. especially when they come to my house and act as if i'm their servant and expect to be served a cup of tea without having the courtesy to say 'thank you', i hope that cup of hot tea burn their lips.

"pissed off and go home".

best parenting place

You heard of that thing called, " there shouldn't be any parenting rule?" Maybe there shouldn't. I prefer to teach my son what's right and what's wrong through his learning. First mistake, he gets a warning, second, he gets caning. Spare the rod, spoil the child. I do not tolerate hanky panky behaviour from kids in my family, period.
