What activities do you do with your family, except swimming, when you are on the beach? My family love to make sand castles or we bury each other in the sand.

I agree with building up self-esteem but it should be balanced. In the business world, the comments of your boss matter and if you feel proud about your job even though your boss doesn't approved of it then will affect your job.

I completely agree with this. The problem we have these days is that we try to conform with the majority and don't encourage uniqueness. If the child has a medical condition that stops the growth then that will be the time to apply some supplements.

Do you let your kids borrow money from you or do you just give it to them all the time? I want my kids to value money so if they want to borrow then they should return it. If they ask me to give them money then I would first know the reason why they needed money.

We only let the kids use the bread knife. I don't want them to get hurt so I won't let them use a sharp knife. They are helping out in the kitchen like peeling vegetables but not with cutting and slicing.

Cleaning is a part of cooking. Tell your kids that they cannot cook if they don't know how to clean up after they cook. You also tell them that cleanliness is a priority in cooking because we might get sick if we use utensils that are not clean.

Most families have TV's at their dining room. Not with us though because dinner time is also a time where everyone can meet and talk about what happened during the day. We can watch TV after dinner.

Every family have their own way of having family time. I know a friend who is a single father but have so little time for his kid because he needs to do his job at day and to take care of the home duties at night.

I remember when I was a kid and my uncle would tell me stories that are just made up in order for me to sleep in the afternoon. Do you think this is a good idea as the kid might believe everything the adult is saying? I did believe my uncle before because I thought what he was telling was true.

Do some stretching and walk around when you don't have a chair that is comfortable. You should save some money for your new chair so you won't have to experience anymore back pains in the future.

I agree with Keepworking that it is easier said than done because we tend to return to what we like to do or eat. The best thing to do to maintain a healthy lifestyle is to moderate all things.

My friend took up online classes and she got a degree from it. The only problem she has was when she wanted to ask questions and needed to wait for the answers because they have a forum setup for questions and answers.

How often do you guys prepare a dinner? I would like to surprise my wife with a dinner and I hope my plans will work well. I have my list of food to prepare but any other ideas will be good.

You have to set rules inside your house that everyone should follow, even yourself. But make sure that their freedom of choice is not hindered. I like the suggestion of Thompson in giving him an iPod so that he can still listen to his music but you won't have to.

What kind of a father are you? Are you a strict one or a considerate person? I'm quite a strict father because I don't want my children to be spoiled by me.

I can control my language when I'm infront of the kids. I know that being a parent means that I should be a good role model. I made a promise to myself that I would try my best to be the role model of my children. This makes me careful on the words that I utter when I'm with them. Practice will...

I will share my principle with you guys. I work for my family. I didn't made a family so that I would work. Therefore family always comes first for me.

Are there times when you miss being with her? Or is it really over with you? How do you deal with your emotions when you still have a feeling for her? Are you willing to suck up your pride if ever she wants your relationship to be back?

We have a road trip as a family when there is a long vacation. We will go national parks and try to camp there if its allowed and the time is enough for us to camp. My kids love this time because they don't study and are exempted from house duties.

This is what I would answer as well. Being a father where you have a wife to help out is still hard, how much more would be for a single father? Parenting needs dedication to rear up a child to be a good citizen in the future.
