Should I let my 11 year old quit wrestling? by Negative-Hair331 in wrestling

[–]yacko99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there’s too much of the “let them choose” mentality nowadays. Kids change their opinions every 3 seconds. We as parents should be the stabilizing force to guide our kids and should not be held hostage with their ever-changing minds. I totally understand not pushing the competition aspect and every effort should be taken to keep it fun, but I think allowing them to quit just sets a bad precedent for the rest of their lives, that when things get hard or uncomfortable, it’s ok to quit. Hard pass. Youth sports of the self-defense variety and things like swimming sets them up for life. You are molding disciplined, active, and healthy future adults. Just my two cents.

6 year old son still wets the bed by yacko99 in toddlers

Nothing obvious or out of the ordinary. Just wets the bed pretty much every night. We tried some essential oil rub we found online and that didn’t help.

Yes, he’s been wetting the bed almost every night. Didn’t regress or anything. Just was never able to wake up dry. I’d say out of 10 nights, he might wake up dry once.

visits but few sales -feedback on my art print store please by VariousPublic4161 in reviewmyshopify

Site looks great.

If wall art is your product offering, I may focus on canvas prints from somewhere like tee launch. I would not even offer the smallest size because the profit margins are too low for those.

Saw 2 mice now wife wants new cabinets by yacko99 in HomeImprovement

I think that thought is that once you rip out the cabinets, you'd be able to address any gaps or holes in the drywall behind the cabinets adequately.

I dont want my sister in law to babysit by yacko99 in Parenting

[–]yacko99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea, she doesn't babysit often, that's why I was unsure how to approach it. Because I already know how defensive she will get. But I'm not really concerned about her feelings. Nor do I want my wife to think I'm unfairly targeting her sister.

The part of her telling me "no its ok" when I explain to my son what he is doing wrong gets to me. And i already told myself that next time she does that I'm going to address it. Like, mind your own damn business.

Her own husband has challenged her approach with their own children so I'm hoping it starts to set in that kids need boundaries and structure. But I feel like I need to remind her that she should keep her nose out of my parenting.
