My mom is always reading these parenting magazines?!?
Posted on 30. Jul, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I am 13 years old and my mom is constantly reading these magazines that talk about how to be a better parent. That’s just fine and dandy, but she always is quoting the magazines and stuff; it really is annoying. Example:
She says, "You should try blah blah blah because that’s what my magazine said." and she comes up with statistics out of nowhere, like some kind of calculator. "Did you know that 76.9% of people who paint their nails on a regular basis will end up with some form of cancer from the inhalation of the fumes?" she says. I paint my nails a lot, and so I asked, "Where did you hear that?" and her unspecific answer is, "Oh, in some magazine." She makes up the numbers, usually; I think…
And I’ve read the magazine articles. They sound sort of like this book I had once that talks about how to take care of you pet, except in the articles, it’s "How to _____ for your Teen." Like, teens are such alien creatures! One month the magazine will say to give your teen tough love. The next, it will say to pamper your teen. She always goes along with it, and makes the whole family [my dad, and my 11 year old sister] try whatever new trick it gives on how to have a better family life and how to build a relationship with your kid. Frankly, I would have a MUCH better relationship with her if she would stop reading the magazines and quoting them and basically becoming a slave for them and whatever silly idea they have!
I know she’s just trying to be a good parent, but I’m not sure how long I can put up with it. My sister agrees with me, but obviously, she’s too young for an account on here.
So, the question is, what should I do about this? I’ve tried actually hiding the magazines, but then she just went out and bought them in the grocery store line. It’s really ruining any relationship [as the magazines say] that I would potentially have built with her. I’ve also tried talking to her about it, calmly and rationally, but her reply was, "So, you’re saying you know more than Jane Doe, MDD? I don’t think so, young lady!"

Attachment parenting???
Posted on 15. Jul, 2010 by Young Parents Guide.
I’ve read alot lately about attachment style parenting…tho i haven’t found many books on the subject..i was just wondering to anyone out there who may have used this parenting technique..what are the long term benefits of this and at what age if any does the "attachment" stop…I’m open to anyone’s opinion on the subject but i’d really love to hear from some parents who practice it. thanx 
Also what are some books you can reference me too, so far i’ve only been able to locate magazine articles on the topic.
I didn’t mean to sound like i was looking foward to pushing my daughter away at some age sorry if i worded that wrong i just meant that at what point should you be worried as a parent when your child does not seem to be gaining the right amount of independence for his or her age group is this a common problem for children being raised with attachment parenting???..for example children who continue to breast feed/ sleep with mommy and daddy at like age 5..believe it or not, i’ve seen some out there… and thanx for all the positive answers so far
