AboutStephanie Expertise I am a stay-at-home mom of two great kids under the age of four. But even good healthy kids can be a challenge at times. I can answer questions about crying, sleeplessness, general insecurity (on the part of both mom and kids!), potty training, co-sleeping, weaning and more. I am a member of La Leche League so I have access to plenty of information on breastfeeding and related problems. In more recent months we`ve had experience dealing with discipline and socialization skills as well. We all have rough patches with our kids, and days when we just think we`re too tired to cope--but sometimes just talking to someone else who`s been there can be enough to get us through. I`ve had plenty of good support, and now I`d like to pass some of that along.
Experience I've been a mom for four years now. We regularly attend playgroups and La Leche League meetings. My son goes to a co-op playschool where I often help out. In the past I've worked as a volunteer for Big Sisters in schools helping kids with their reading and writing.

Question I was wondering would you please tell me: when my mum retired from work
and when I went out places by myself mum didn't ask me where I was going,
but now my dads retrenched from his work and his always asking me where
I'm going.
Thanks
Answer Hi Cameron,
How is this a question about parenting--do you mean how your parents parent you? I can't really answer your question about why your Dad always wants to know where you're going/where you've been without more info. Maybe that's just his personality type.... sometimes dads can be overprotective of their so-called little girls. Once when I was in the hospital my dad got very pushy with my husband and doctors. Maybe it's just an instinct they have.
