Allie I have to laugh about the 10 ex-wives- at one of our weddings the grooms father had three wives- his current wife, an ex, and the first ex- the grooms Mom. They all happily posed together- I can just see 10!

I didn't say it was just Amber. I am shocked that all three parents in that house spank/hit their children.

I never had to spank often...maybe on two hands I could count how many times I spanked my two kids...but I believe in it in moderation in some case.... My brother and his wife refused to spank, because they said, like Jen, that it would teach their toddler that "hitting" was OK... Well....their son started as a toddler hitting his mom and dad in the FACE as hard as he could whenever he didn't want to cooperate...it got so bad, that he would just walk up to his cousins and bang them over the head any time he wanted...Anyone who would pick him up whether he wanted to be picked up or not, he would LAUGH his head off and WHACK them in the face with his fists....he was the most undisciplined and mean "HITTER" that our family ever has had....we had 12 other grandchildren, and the ONLY one who was never spanked was the HELLION of the family and HIT everything he came in contact with until he got his butt whipped by a bigger boy in second grade....NONE of the spanked kids were "hitters" on a regular basis like he was.... So, I guess every situation is different and each oarent makes their own choices as to what is OK....and as in EVERY thing in life...moderation is the key....

Mike is Dicks polar opposite where Dick stays up all night and sleeps 3 or 3 hours. Mike is only awake 2 or 3 hours a day. Nice that Dick losing his virginity to someone he was in love with..

Mannequen- thats a perfect descript.. I must admit, Some of the questions are very thought provoking....Ive been digging into my brain on a few of thease... Im going to be sad when Joe is not there, I truly think hes adorable, and he is not as bad as he is made out to be.... Since this is most likley his last night Im enjoying (so far) listening to them talk,discuss and debate...

I agree Caycaye.. moderation and i also think a parent must taylor their parental skills to each child. You just can not treat each one the same, since they will respond differently. it's like parents that refuse to allow toy guns even water pistols think they will promote violence. But reality is they will use a finger or a stick for a gun. Even when they are not allowed TV. I think it is something inbreed in humanity.

I wish it could be someone other than joe/or dick for that matter as they both bring something to the house. But since one has to go i am very happy to see their last night be one of play and togetherness instead of bitter game play.

Well, you have to monitor what games your children play and what shows they watch. It's quite easy to not have play guns in the house and have them not play 'gun games'.

I agree- I wish both were staying. Joe used to drive me crazy but I have come to love his forthrightness and he is witty and razor sharp. I so would like to see Kail leaving instead.

BTW Allie TVCH member Zachyd was breastfed until he was 3 1/2, lol. SInce hs is at music camp I can embarass him by saying that. Wanted to tell you that since seeing the discussion the other night. I too believed in letting them self wean but it went a looooong time. Maybe MIke thinks this is being under the radar???? I imagine him still sleeping long after the show ends, forgotten about completely.

in my mind, a spanking and a corrective tap on hand (for doing something dangerous like trying to reach into a fan or onto stove) is quite acceptable...Provided the parent is under control. I remember a few times my mom was positively seething mad when she stropped my hand. A spanking can be pretty bad even if it is just the butt or hand.

Meggie, I hadn't planned on b/f till he was 4 and I was gently trying to steer him into quitting but he continued till his 4th birthday. He did ask again a couple of weeks later and I told him the store was shut! LOL The other two self weaned younger. It's hard to go on that long. Kudos to you, Maggie.

Is he embarrassed, Meggie? Our eldest is 13 and he nursed till 2 1/2. He doesn't get embarrassed by it. But pull out the video of him playing with himself as a baby and he is mortified. LOL Of course, that is not viewed by anyone other than us (a long time ago).... Poor kid.

Why is Kail hiding out in the HoH room then? Is she trying to play a Maggie game?

Oh, remember Eddie slept a lot during the season (1) and he still went on to win. But he wasn't trying to lead a while posse, unlike Kail.

Well- I think he is embarassed only for me to point out he is my kid. And then to say he brestfed so long, lol. Actually he is pretty cool about such things .At 15 (and 6 foot 1) he is defining himself and in the online community it is tough for him sometimes. But I will stop breaking the rules about no BB posts. ANd let the HG embarass me instead! I think Kail is playing a really bad game. Zach agrees as of today! I think he wants to cut himself off from her asap.

you should Never spank in anger. Even if you believe in spanking. Alliet you can not monitor everything and they will have friends and these games will occur. I have three daughters, 2 are adults now, they never were hitters they did go through the "gun" games neither are violent or own guns. And i was a parent that did not allow war toys with the oldest, but soon realized play will happen and that it isn't going to hurt them or influence them if as a parent you teach them your values.
