victorian: A pervert is not boldly written on someone's head, to before warned ,is to beforearmed. I agree with the op, completely.. its a choice.
No, thats why its better to not make every person your kids meet a potential molester.

And no-one seem to jump in on the fact that there are plenty women who are pedophiles as well, and that many pedophiles like both girls and boys. So..

Mowire: You are REPULSIVE!
So every Nigerian is a pervert?!
Where are you from?
NONSENSE!
...and that is my point as well.

My husband is scared of showing how much he loves kids in public, because people get worried, and start thinking he like kids for sexual reasons.
And THAT is how you know how f`ed up the society is.

There is nothing wrong in changing or showering in front of your own damn kids. Its a naked body, its nothing to be ashamed of. Its your own house.
There is nothing wrong with having your child sit on someones lap, as long as she feels safe with the person, and you trust them. What am I supposed to do, tell all the men in my family to not touch my child?

As for calling kids husband/wife..its a cultural thing. I raised an eyebrow the first time I heard it, but it only took me one full day to understand that almost ALL of my husband friends call our daughter their little wife. And I call all the small boys my husbands now.

seunfly: Jallow Op is talking from Nigeria point of veiw, thare are something that happen here may be due to our culture etc that makes all this good advice in Nigeria.
And I am asking why.

Should you not answer me, instead of telling me its a nigerian point of view?

Some people in my country think the same why. Still, I dont understand why.
FamilyRe: Parents Please Take Your Time To Read This. by JallowBah(f): 7:00pm On Oct 04, 2012
Warn your girl child never to sit on anyone's laps no matter the situation including uncles.
Wai, what? So because SOME people are perverts, you are gonna treat everyone as if they MIGHT be? And you do know that women also are abusers, not only men?

Avoid getting dressed in front of your child once he/she is 2years old. Lean to excuse yourself.
Why is this? Is it not better to teach the child that a naked body is a natural thing, not something to be ashamed of?

If you have to hire a house-help please kindly take them for HIV screening to determine their HIV status, properly interview them
and make up your mind to treat them well.

Is this even allowed??

Never allow any adult refer to your new born as ‘my wife’ or ‘my husband’
...why?

The rest I can somewhat understand, but still not agreeing on much of it.

Ivynwa: Cool Babes,
I'm liberal minded to some extent and doesn't see anything wrong with people spicing up their life the way they want as long as nobody isn't getting hurt while they are it for example I will always be like "people should let Charly boy do his thing as long as he isn't hurting anybody and isn't dabbling with h-omosexuality"(I happen not to support that one)--
I dont agree with you on homosexuality, but that is a different discussion.
And, you got one of my favourite dance-tunes in your profile, so no worries. Woop!

Ivynwa: Jallow Babes you misunderstood me there. If you read my post again, you may understand it better. I never said that such a child will turn out as Charly boy. I only said that it may be all hippie and happy in the home of somebody like Charly boy. Hope you are doing great girl. Wish I can see your tattoos, I like to admire good looking tattoos.
Wops..sorry, my bad.
Then we are actually on the same page.

I am doing fine, hope you are as well. I have both well done tats, and not so well done tats..hehe..it is possible to see them, but not here on NLsmiley

Ivynwa: @Hakuna Matata

If Daddy sags and Mummy tats, Junior will be happy.
He has hippie parents that will be living cool,with plenty sweet hip music around the house and hippie stuffs.
I mean such parents won't be taking life too seriously, will be down to earth and fun to be with.
Yeah right! Hahaha! grin grin

Why do such scenario remind me of Charly boy, dude is busy enjoying and sparkling up his life even as a grandfather. I bet there won't be any dull day in the family life of such a person that is chilling and enjoying the fun things of life.
Wait..what? So because me and my husband got dreadlocks, I am tatted, he wears saggy pants at times, my kid is gonna end up like Charly?? Lol, you crack me up.

My child will learn that whatever she wishes to be, she can be, and that she has to work for it.
She will learn that she should not judge people on what they wear or how they look, but on what kind of person they are, like MY mother, who is "decent and normal" teached ME before. My moral is not bad, just because I look the way I do, hon.

jidegirl12: Bad for baby's head and development? I laugh in French, are you for real? I won't go into Biology with you cos that's what I do just so you know.

That's how they talk? If your toddler still talks with a cry you better run to a speech pathologist and get him checked ASAP, my 3yr old can say a long word like 'disgusting', 'disrespectful' and so on.

It's called being fussy or cranky and it's either there's something wrong with him or she just needs to whine for attention, of course you can cuddle and all that but if it's a constant thing that she's milking then we need a break to get the message across.
I am talking about an INFANT. If you read what I wrote, you would see I was not talking about a toddler who is crying cause they didnt get their favourite thing.
FamilyRe: How Do You Manage Cranky Babies? by JallowBah(f): 12:10pm On Oct 02, 2012
maclatunji: I believe she has proper experience of the kind of babies I am talking about and feels she cannot kill herself with stress. I tell you, some of those babies make you feel that way.
And so have I.

An infant dont cry to make you mad, but because they NEED something. Maybe they have gas, maybe they need skin-to-skin, maybe they need boob, maybe water, etc, etc, etc.
To leave an infant to cry for that long alone is actually considered bad for the babys head and development. They cry to let you know they need something, thats how they talk. If they dont get ANY reactions to their needs, they will stop to let you know, and then what?

No. I am defending the body of women. If you could read, you would see I already said that its important to be healthy, eat right, and be active. I will never in my life go to the gym three times every week just to get a body that would satisfy OTHERS. My body is healhty, without being skinny.

jidegirl12: Lol.. what are you talking about a child in that age range will sit ''quietly'' for 1-3mins? Come on now..

Leaving a child to cry to sleep will not hurt a child even for an hour as long as he's not running a fever and not hungry and you really don't mind the noise which does not always happen.
...are you serious?

hakuna matata: my dear & u desired to hav them as body art souveniors? girl u give me the Hibble-de-jibbies! wld like to see them may i?
but truly, such looks wld only attract ruffians & rasta looking guys into ur world . u dont hav a prob with dat? i really want to know the kinda guys u get their attention. pls.
I get attention from rastas, men in suits, men with no jobs, and men who work in the goverment.
I got a nice attitude about me that they get attracted to, guess they are able to not only see my tats and locks.

As for my husband, he like the tats because I see them as beauty, and he grew up as a half-nomade fulani, with women tattooing their chests and faces as beauty.
And yes, he is a dreadhead as wellwink

And nah, I aint flaunting them here.
FamilyRe: How Do You Manage Cranky Babies? by JallowBah(f): 1:50pm On Oct 01, 2012
ileobatojo: Exactly how I would react depends on the extent, the frequency of the behavior and what precipitates it.

Here are some general techniques for the toddler age group though assuming all these things you said happen because the child is not getting their way (which is not the same as 'for no reason');
-If a child throws their toys away in anger, they don't get it back (natural consequences)
-Use of time out. 1 min per year of age.
-Don't give in to their demands because of the crying. Be firm.
-Ignore the behavior (after making sure they are safe). Any attention, negative or positive can reinforce it.
-Respond to the behavior right away or as soon as possible. They need to associate the behavior and the discipline so it can be effective.
-Be consistent. Don't laugh at the behavior one day and get mad the other.
-Be gentle. Kids that age respond better to the firm but gentle approach than the screaming, yelling, mean approach.

You're welcome. grin
I agree 100% with you on this.

As for a baby up to 6months crying and crying..its because they need something. some babies need music, others need singing, others need a pacifier, others need to be alone, some need sleep, some wishes to get out, etc, etc.

My child had times like that, where there was no obvious reason. The only thing that helped was to either put on the tv with CNN/BBC ( with her father.. ), og that I put her on my back, dancing softly around.
FamilyRe: How Do You Manage Cranky Babies? by JallowBah(f): 1:45pm On Oct 01, 2012
maclatunji: For the purpose of this thread, a baby is 0-2 year old child. I know there are more than 1001 things that could be wrong with a baby and make it cry but this thread is more about babies who seem to take delight in frustrating their mother/care-givers by crying at the slightest excuse, throwing toys away, refusing to be pacified and generally constituting a nuisance. I am a little bit surprised that those who have responded so far seem not to relate with this.
Wuh, my kid has started doing this. Rebelling and testing the rules for what is ok, and what is not.
I simply tell her "if you want to sit down here and cry, go right ahead, I aint giving you attention.", and I turn my face, or go to the other room.
I ask her now and then "are you finished?" if she says yes, and stops, no problem, I will give her something else to focus on. If she says no and continues, I go again.

And this is only when I know she is just complaining..and when she is acting up, trying to take things and dont listen and then get angry, I hold her hands, tell her why I told her no with a firm voice, or I snap her fingers if she continues.

Works like a charm here. My kid is, for only being 1year and 9months, polite, positive, and about 90% of the time she listens.

hakuna matata: Didn't somebody say "how u choose to dress wld determine how u r adressed?" if u dress as a ruffian its only normal that pple look at in with that eye. u cant be clad in a lion's fur and want to be treated as a lamb. by the way we were only SPECULATING what junior MIGHT turn out to be(ALL THINGS BEING EQUAL) as a natural corollary from his parents. not what junior must be!
That just means you are judgemental.
And no, I am not talking about women walking around dressed as strippers, to put in on the edge.

But people judge me all the time, just because I dress different than the normal norm in my town, my hair, my tats. I have had that my whole life, I am used to it. Still, it shows ignorance.
FamilyRe: When Daddy Sags And Mummy Tattoos; What Would Junior Do? by JallowBah(f): 11:07am On Oct 01, 2012
hakuna matata: morals, ethics & dress sense are among the many responsibilities parents owe their children and ALL parents do it well either by:
1. direct tutelage handing it down themselves or
2. condoning and looking the other way while 'society' does the teaching.
the probs with our digital civilization is that parents look the other way while cable Tv & internet does the mentoring.
either way, without ruling out d possibility of deviation, there is a greater probability that children wld pick more behavioural traits & patterns from either or both parents if conditioned. call me old fashioned if u like. ur dreads & tattoe didnt come from the dream na? ....exactly my point!
for all i dont know, ur child may end up being a tattoed & dreadlocked gentleman @ d bar. i'm not cynical about what he wld be but how i wld rather address him based on his appearance.
And if that is what my child wishes to do, so be it. As long as my kid is happy, I`m not the one to tell her anything.

My tattoo-love came from my mothers one and only tat that she got in the military in Libanon when she was young. She ended up with to discrete more in the next ten years, while I on the other hand, have chest, back, legs, arms, and small on my face even. People see beauty, and being decent, different.

My mother raised me to be me, to be proud of me, and to follow MY wishes and dreams, not others. Even though it is at sometimes hard for her to accept the way I look and dress ( she dont like my colourful dresses, my headwraps, my hair, or my many tats. ), she fully knows that I am a grown woman, I work, I am a good mother, and I am a good person. And that, my friend, is more important than apperance.

Oh, and my biggest facinasion for tattoos came from internet, looking at different ethnic-tattoos in Africa..

flourishing: sweet chicks please don't work yourself out just cos you want to shed a few. You are beautiful in every sense of the word. Let no one make you feel less of a woman cos you are not just a woman a BIG WOMAN. Whether its diet or in your blood line, enjoy your good life. God made somebody for everybody so your man will come. Some married men go outside to look for PHAT CHICKS cos they are the total package. They are good home keepers, good in the kitchen, good pillars, they can take care of you till death, young guys want them for sugar mummies cos them get money pieces. Wetin remain.
What this dude/chick said.

Some people dont have it in them to become skinny, neither do they WANT to. And I am one of them. Even if I loose 15kg, my hips will still be big like now, its called bonestructure.
Like I said before: As long as you eat right, you are active, and your body is HEALTHY, dont matter what shape or size you are. A 100kg woman can still be more healthy on the inside than the 45kg one.
