Learn to Read, BD. Oh, and have DS brush his flipping teeth.

Honestly, stop answering BD's questions.  You're enabling him honey, you know that, right?  When he calls freaking out about this type of stuff, simply tell him to contact the CS agency himself to get it figured out.  You have got to stop parenting him.  He's never going to grow up if you keep holding his hand.

While I agree that it is the parents job to make sure the child brushes their teeth, especially at that age, if my kids ever start to say something like that, I always so them (even 3yo DS) and remind them that their bodies are their own responsibility. Yes, it is the adult's responsibility to guide the child, but ultimately in every situation in life, we only have control over ourselves, not what anyone else does.

I agree and am not saying it was not BD's place to remind. Honestly, most kids need a reminder at that age and all should be checked behind at least.

But to develop a future sense of personal responsibility and accountability, even though I would equally be upset and hold DH at fault if he did not make sure DS brushed his teeth, I would still tell DS that he needs to remember to do that every day and stop him when he says anything suggesting it is his daddy's fault.

I would still (and have) get upset if DH let either of the kids go without brushing their teeth. Or let SD go without fixing her hair in the mornings. Ugh! That took years if practice on H's pay to make it routine.

We do tell DS that even if BD doesn't tell him to brush his teeth, he still needs to do it. I didn't mention that.

I was just saying. I wasn't trying to call you out. I promise.

Nah you're good. I knew what you meant .

What was the question? My DD has already accomplished the brushing teeth habit but she is still learning on how to read. Children's books, flash cards, sketcher and shape sorters are the tools I've used to make her learn to read.

Edited because I didn't look at the date and realize someone had commented on an old thread. Sorry about that.

Can't be positive but I'm pretty sure the post was actually about the Dad learning to read a.k.a actually paying attention to thing/figuring things out on his own instead of calling twister and asking her about it.

About neither. And this was from October... How much creeping did you have to do to even find this @kjdean?
