When Should Kids Start Their Homework? - Blog Entry

21 Sep 2006 09:11 AM

I agree with Nicole. My son needs a break when coming home from school. So I make him do his homework while I am making dinner, about 5:00. He sits at the kitchen table while I am cooking. Then I can easily go over and help him if he needs it. This way he has a couple of hours to play with friends before getting back to the school routinue.

Homosexual Agenda Being Promoted In Schools - Blog Entry

11 Sep 2006 07:31 AM

One of my sister's best friends from highschool is now gay. We treat him exactly the same. When we get together he doesn't talk about his sex life because he knows that although we care about him we don't support his choices in life. Learning about homosexuals in school doesn't mean that children will tolerate them. They are more likely to take their parents opinion over any text book. This has been proven in other areas of religious and racial discrimination. Schools need to be focusing on what school is about reading, writing, and arithmetic. Preparing students for a job and higher education. It is a parents responsibility to teach tolerance, respect, and sex ed.

As far as text books go a homosexuals achievements should be put in but their is no need to mention that they are homosexual. Just like it shouldn't matter if a person was Mexican, Native American, Jew, Black or White. If they achieved something the achievement is what matters not anything else, their being homosexual shouldn't make their achievement any greater.

Keeping Your Marriage Sensual - Blog Entry

coop357 - Everyone is different. So talk about what you like and ask your husband if he could try a little harder to fulfill your needs. If that is not possible maybe you could both talk to a professional to try and find a way that both of your needs can be met. Because if there are problems in the bedroom it will cause other problems in your marriage as well. You don't have to feel attracted to your husband every day but often enough that you remember that initial attractiveness that caused you to marry him. If he used to be more sensual when you first met then he needs to be reminded of its importance to you. I have had to give my husband the same reminders as he's the same way and sometimes forget that I need those things since he doesn't.

Religious Couples Don't Like Sex! - Blog Entry

08 Sep 2006 09:39 AM

Lovemaking between couples should be kept private and not discussed in the open. Yet those who are promoting alternative lifestyles flaunt their sexuality and their bedroom behavior. Personally it makes me extremely uncomfortable. My husband and I enjoy an active sex life behind closed doors. Yet we don't go out of our way to promote our lifestyle. Others should do the same.

Is Chivalry Dead? - Blog Entry

08 Sep 2006 09:36 AM

My husband and I were recently talking about this subject. Along with the equality that many women are demanding they are having to give up the many niceties that men used to perform for them. The rising generation of young women don't even realize what they are missing. My younger brother once told me about a date that got mad at him for opening the car door for her because she was completely capable of doing it herself. That's the point. We are capable of doing it ourselves, but we allow men to do these small chivalrous acts to show their love and appreciation of us as women. Personally I think chivalry shows more respect to women and motherhood than anything else. I love it!

Star Trek Hits the Big 4-0 - Blog Entry

08 Sep 2006 09:29 AM

I love Star Trek and remember watching the show with my parents as a little girl, well at least the reruns. I also enjoyed Next Generation and Voyager and looked forward to seeing them every week. The later two I didn't enjoy as much and felt they lost some of their "trekiness." I've never attended a trekkie conference but I definately enjoyed the show.

Exactly Sherry. If the schools were teaching tolerance and providing information about loving and accepting those of every race Hispanic, Black, European, Oriental etc, and of every religion Jew, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, etc. then I wouldn't have as much a problem with it. The thing is that the "tolerance" programs are focusing primarily on homosexuals who make up a minority of our population and ignoring the issues that I feel are really important like racial and religious tolerance.

Teaching parents to teach their kids is a great idea, although the parents that most need it probably won't show up for the class. I do feel as many of you do that sexuality should be something taught in the home. Then every child receives the education that their parent feels is appropriate. That is why I wrote the blog in the first place. I feel that children should not be exposed to subjects that their parents feel inappropriate. Respect and love for all is what I teach my children, but they do not need to accept and embrace homosexuality. I believe sex ed is something that should not be taught any sooner than 6th grade, and at that point it should be an abstinence only program, but that's a subject for another blog.

Does Violence In Video Games Affect Children? - Blog Entry

I recently wrote another blog about the effects of music on kids. Music really does effect kids (and adults too) and a study proved it. Many parents and kids deny that it has any affect at all.
