  • When would you switch your kids to bunk beds?

    My boys are three and can climb up and down stairs and ladders very well on their own. My husband and I are rearranging the house to make room for our fourth baby and thought that bunk beds would make a great space saver but I'm worried they might be too young.

    What age would you move your kids to bunk beds? Would you think 3 (nearly 4) year olds would be able to handle bunk beds or is it too early?

  • Girl name suggstions?

    We're having our last child and while we don't know what we are having we can't agree on a girl's name.

    I like Amelia Tovah (we're Jewish, it's Hebrew for good) but my husband doesn't like Tovah. I'd like some suggestions of alternate middle names or if you like Tovah.

    To give you a feel for the types of names we like, if it's a boy we'll name him Silas Nikolai. Our other three kids are named Katherine Adara, Gabriel Declan and Dante Alexander.

  • Curious of other people's opinions?

    My husband and I have three kids already and were thinking about trying for a fourth. I was wondering what people thought about the names we have picked out.

    Silas Nikolai for a boy

    Naomi Rei for a girl

    Our other kids are named Gabriel Declan, Dante Alexander, and Katherine Adara if that helps.

  • If a parent smokes pot medicinally?

    I know a lot of people in this section disapprove of parents using pot and some even encourage calling CPS over it.

    My question is if a parent has something like MS and they live in a part of the country where pot is available medicinally, would you still disapprove of them using it? Even if pot was the only thing that really helped them and didn't have all the nasty side effects?

  • Do you think your kids 'owe' you?

    This was inspired by another question (and actually several responses I've seen on here during my time on Y!A)

    When your kids are adults, do they 'owe' you because you gave birth to them or gave them room and board for 18+ years? It seems some people would want to hold that kind of thing over their kid's heads in order to get them to do things. If they do owe you, how much do they have to do before they have 'paid you back'?

  • How would you react in this situation?

    A little bit ago my neighbor and his 12 year old son came over and returned a game system that belongs to my husband. The son had taken apparently taken the system while we were on vacation and he was supposed to be watching our house and pets. We figured that he had just borrowed the system without asking and was going to return it but then found out that he had changed all my husband's information on the system to his own. As the conversation continued we found out that he had not only taken this system but another that they had found and brought back to our house before we got home. His parents are good people and great neighbors so we know they were upset about it and he will be punished accordingly.

    The issue was we weren't sure how exactly to react. We told him if he had called us or left us a note that he wanted to borrow it we wouldn't have minded and that we were disappointed that he had just taken it without letting anyone know. I don't think us getting upset or yelling at him would have really done much (plus I don't feel comfortable yelling at someone else's child when the parent is right there and handling the situation) and we don't feel it was our place to met out punishment so I was wondering how you all on yahoo answers would have reacted.
