Can't get it out of my head..,
My daughter is four. We were getting out a taxi a couple of days ago and I took her round to the back of the taxi with me while I unloaded the bags and my sons buggy. As I put my head into the car, she decided it would be a clever idea to run across the road. A car literally missed her by seconds. I can't sleep...I have…

So proud of my kids because...
... their Cmas lists were small as "we don't need much, do we? And we have loads of toys already." ...we spent Cmas with family, so only took a couple of presents.

should 9yr old be allowed unsupervised access to computer?
The computer has no parental controls on it but when visiting the 9yr old wants to go on it without supervision/restriction. His older teenage brother is allowed on it without supervision. Worried about what the 9yr old might stumble across which is why we don't allow him to use it if we're not keeping an eye on things.

My son makes me smile :)
