Wall isn't very conducive to discussion. If this needs to be discussed further start a post on the discussion board please. Thank you.

I agree. I don't see what the capitalist poster has to do with parenting. It feels like propaganda to me and it's not appropriate here. Which is why I'm going to delete it.

Faith, yes we certainly should be concerned about environmental issues but they aren't directly parenting issues and as such don't particularly belong here.

I basically agree with John on this. I don't really see this as a general parenting group. It's supposed to be about parenting issues regarding religion or the lack thereof. I don't agree with 98% of the parenting advice I find here but you don't see me flooding the comments or threads with my personal atypical parenting ideology. Maybe other parenting groups are needed like "Green Parenting" or what I would choose: "Non-coercive Parenting".

Hi Cynthia. Welcome to the group. You've posted on our wall which isn't a the best place for discussion. Why don't you go ahead and post your questions in our discussion area. I think you'll get a good response there.

Took my daughter to the playground today. She insisted on taking her wooden doll's pram. At some point I saw a father almost violently pulling one of his twins away from the pram.
I thought that was not necessary and a good chance to demonstrate how good my little one has become at sharing her toys ;-). So I asked her if the girl was allowed to push the thing for a while. She agreed and the twin took the pram. But after a meter or so the father yelled almost hysterically: "Jalla! now is enough!". At that point it dawned on me what the problem was:


I walked away a few meters before I allowed myself to laugh. I think we'll call that stuffed animal Mohamed.

Pirates for halloween?! I'm planning on dressing up as a pirate to support the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster this halloween. Does this sound like fun to anyone else who still uses trick or treating with kids or passing out candy as an excuse to play dress up in public?
