I agree with you. My husband is a deputy and we have a gun in the house all the time. He showed the boys what it is and they have no interest in it at all. All my boys must go thru gun safety courses. We grew up playing He-Man and She-Ra and anyth...
Well, I'm sure I'm the worst mom in the world b/c my boys watch anything and play anything with violence. I always told them that what they play is pretend. They are now 10, 14 and 17 and they are normal. I think if the parents stress what is righ...
Give him a stick and see what he does with it. I had a "pepsi challenge" with the older boys and the sticks magically turn into swords, guns, sabres, police batons, and bows (then I made them arrows out of more sticks with crosstitch floss).
Oh my! My 3 boys have tons of light sabers, play dart guns and swords. When they play they are not allowed to hit the swords/sabers to hard, and the rule is you never touch the other person with the actual toy. I think this is a normal instinct in...
I am so glad I found this forum. My 8 yr old used a "gun" he made out of his sandwich tin foil yesterday in school to pretend he was shooting. Needless to say one of the other students told on him and he got a detention. I really feel as though we...

Bonjour! I'm a single, SAHM to a terrific 5 year old boy who just started full day kindergarten this year. I'm definitely missing him during the day! I've been a Suzuki mom for two years, which means I've been blessed with the job of practicing violin with him each day as well as accompanying him to lessons twice a week. I have no musical talent or training whatsoever, but my son certainly does, and we have loved learning together!
In my former life I was an attorney specializing in financial services regulation, and I'm thinking of going back to work - as long as I don't have to contend with a 50 hour workweek! If that sort of job keeps turning up in my search, I'll just have to go into business for myself!
I am a big reader, and read everything from decorating mags to books on economics and politics. I also love to bake and fantasize about becoming a pastry chef. Whatever sanity I've managed to hold on to at this point I attribute to yoga, which I practice at least 3-4 times a week.
I'm looking forward to twittering (or tweeting?) with other moms once I get the hang of it - which I'm told takes longer if you're over 30!
