any chance dgd could get a feel for the big beasts first, round there?
I know it's not HER granny.
We have Playdough, and I make my own.
we also have colouring things all though all DGS does is break them in half and or launch them at everyone. !
unfortunately they even have tech in school these days.When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.4 -

LadyHarris said:I have to question why these small infant school aged children are being given electrical items with availability to a whole world of inappropriate media they should have colouring play dough cars trains or some other items to play with we all managed before they were around and as young as they are they can do without them . I see DS is ill yet again did he go to the doctor he was supposed to go a few weeks ago he seems to be ill a lot . Glad DGS money has gone up but maybe the lessons could be for when she has done her homework ,tidied up and gone to school on time to reward her as an incentive ?

I read and absorb, and I look at criticism just as much as I do any other post.I take it all on board.However I wonder why you bother to subscribe to my ramblings if you think I am wrong or the regular posters are some what supportive ( and critical too) of my thoughts, actions and deeds. I find that very strange.
I totally understand where Ladyharris is coming from.
I think that we all rely on tech too much, and I am trying to ween them off of it.Tech time is greatly reduced and as I change to doing less work and more of the care it will be easier to implement.
DS is indeed not very healthy but then what ravages must his history of drug taking have done?When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.5 -
I don't subscribe to your thread. Its always at the top of a board I regularly read. Its very sad to keep reading about these children and what is happening to them, and I suppose I keep hoping something will force a substantial change.1

For me it's the way you say things and not always what you say. Others offer advice and point things out to SS without using such a self righteous tone, or asking personal questions.2
