Couples are partners in crime, but when it comes to parenting they sometimes have to take on the roles of good cop/bad cop to keep their brood in line. If you and your spouse play opposing roles in dealing with your kids, you’re in good company, as it seems that someone has to lay down the law. No matter what your method of discipline, are you the disciplinarian in the family or is your partner?

Just curious... there is no right and wrong answer, regardless of what "they" say. I'm thinking I may go just to a year because Baby J never took a bottle and well, quite frankly, I'm getting a bit tired of not having more than 3 + hours to myself ...

I read we are well into a 14 month recession, and you can't turn on the tv without hearing about the economy and lost jobs. We are cutting back a little on gifts this year. I've still picked up toys I know my boys will like, but I picked up most things on really good deals.

Okay so we're not about to try anything with Baby J yet but I am curious what others did and when. How much success did you have and when did you start?
Ferberized 'em!

I was at the mall recently with my 3 year old, when we saw a little girl about his age wearing one of these harnesses and her mother holding the leash (is there another word?). My son was asking a bunch of questions as to what he saw and why the little girl needed to be on it. I just told him that his Mommy wants to keep the little girl safe.

So I'm cleaning my bathroom this morning, and as I'm getting dizzy from the noxious fumes from all the cleaner products that I've just sprayed everywhere,I start wondering what I hate more, cleaning bathrooms or ironing. I'd have to say ironing, and I"m not even sure why. I just hate doing it and try to avoid it at all costs.

I have given my son countless soft little blankets, soft stuffed animals, but from day one, he decided he was too "tough" for any of those. His security blanket? Well that would have to be trains.

Do you love your kid/s more than you love your husband?
No, I love them equally
Yes, but it's only natural
Yes and I feel bad about it
No, I love my husband more
Depends on the day/mood I'm in

Does this drive anyone else crazy? I just saw a picture of Celine Dion at her last Vegas show, and she brought her 7 year old son on stage. His hair is longer than hers!

My parents would like to buy my 3 year old some sort of educational tv system. I know my son will love it, he's actually pretty good at using the computer, and I like the fact that they are all educational. I think a TV version would be better for him than a handheld, but if you have a different opinion please let me know and why.

Check out Christina Aguilera's new cover for Marie Claire. She looks great, but how many of you could picture yourself doing a photoshoot like this during your pregnancy? There's no way I would have done it!

Everyone has different parenting styles. What works for some might not work for others. Do you spank your kids ever?

Sweetest Day is this Saturday. I know this because I am seeing ads for cards, flowers and candy. My husband and I completely boycott this holiday because we both kind of feel it's just a made up holiday to give Hallmark some business!

It's that time of year again, where I will take my boys for a cute little portrait. Just wondering who is the most popular for portraits. So who is your favorite, and why?

OK, it's a silly poll, but I thought of it because my son was watching it the other day. I guess I'm ashamed to admit that I think Anthony's kind of hot. I guess it's those baby blues...

With all the recent recalls of toys being manufactured in China, are you worried about buying toys made there? It's almost unavoidable, since so many products are made overseas. It is getting difficult (and expensive) to buy toys made here in the US.

This week is World Breastfeeding Week, so it just got me wondering how you fed your baby. I nursed my sons until they were both around 6 months and then I switched to formula. The transition was a little rough for a week or so, but they both got through it just fine.

We took my son to Disneyland last year (he was 3 ½, really his 4th b-day was 4 months away). We want to go again, and we’re thinking of going this January, which happens to be the same month of his birthday. Well, he’s been saying that he wants a Pokemon birthday party for his 5th birthday, and I’ve been planning one (yes, I know it’s months away, but I love it), but my husband said over the weekend that if we take him to Disneyland that he won’t be having a party.

During the summer especially, it is just too hot and bothersome to cook all the time. They're home all day; minimum, 3 meals, per day, per kid. I was wondering, on average, how often do you feed your kids fast food instead of cooking?

It's a hard decision for parents to make: To stay home, or to work. How do you feel about these choices, and which have you chosen? And are you happy with the choice you made?
