This morning my dd12 asked me if she could make a blog. Would you let a 12 year-old start a blog? She is very mature and responsible. If you would, can you tell me a free way to start a blog.

If he is moody cancel anything fun he was going to do that day. If you were going to take him to a Cub Scout meeting, don't. If anyone asks why your child wasn't at an activity tell them he was having a bad day. Give him one warning. It may seem harsh, but it will probably be the last time he does it.

Well, one reason is because back then there weren't any computors or vaccums to stop working.

My children play Wizard 101, Pixie Hollow, and Clubpenguin. They are free to play, but you can do more things if you get a membership. My children say they like Clubpenguin the best.

I would expept an almost 6 year old to clean up without being told. A 3 year, maybe, but I would expect a 3 year old to clean when told The best way to get a young child to do a chore is to turn it into a game. For example, time them to see how fast they can put away the blocks.

What age did your girls stop playing with dolls? I'm asking because my dd11 and dd12 still get out their little dollhouse and one day they were at the park talking about it. A girl who looked about 12 overheard them and told her friends quite loudly, "Look! Those babies play with dolls!"

The dog being the ladies, was my first thought too.
For one: she had sat there for hours (?!!!!) watching, and caring about the dog, but not doing anything about it.
For two: she knew the history of the dog.
Three: her insistence that it wouldn't be taken to the shelter
Four: her desire to make sure your boys would take care of it, and in essence 'giving' it to them without talking to you.
Five: she had made up a sad story for why it was there, a story to stir your empathy for the dog. Not that it ran away from home, and someone was missing it (especially since it looked taken care of), not that it got away from someone on a walk, not that it jumped out of a car....but a scenario that set it up that the doggie's parents didn't want it. The story was true, it was her that let the dog go!
To me someone who cared enough to not want the dog to go to the shelter, would not immediately think of it as being abandoned. They would think about someone missing the dog (hmmmmm like you are :0) !
Shelters are one of the first places people contact when they loose an animal. Your contacting them will be enough, if someone misses the animal they will contact the shelter in a day or two.
Hope you enjoy your new little gift!

My oldest (now 12) found the "santa presents" I had hidden when she was 9. My second oldest child stop believing at age 10. My other children still believe. They all know the real reason why we celebrate Christmas, they just believe in Santa too.

Thanks for the advice, but would you allow a 4 year old to watch Pokemon? Would you allow a 10 year old to watch Pokemon?

Really it is going to depend on what you want to hear.
If you want to allow it for your boys then let them watch. Have dd do something else.
Being significantly older the boys are going to always want to do things/watch movies/TV that will not be age appropriate for the younger set. Either you have to ban it all and cater to the youngers, remove the youngers or allow the youngers to keep up with the olders hoping most of it goes over their heads.
What are you planning to do with the boys are 16 and the then 10-year old girls wants to watch what the boys are watching?
ETA: I'm confused about your kids and ages. Do you have two 10-year old boys and two 4-year old girls?
I have twin boys who are 10 and twin girls who are 4. Sorry for confusing you. I'm new

I had that problem with my dd7. Some problems are very, very hard(I found a few problems challenging!) You might want to consider taking a break and doing something else.

My 2 ds10 just discovered Pokemon. They have a DS game called Pokemon Ranger but they just found out that there is also a t.v. show. They want to get dvd's on Netflix. I got a dvd and preveiwed it. It is way different from my ds's game. The pokemon fight but the show does teach lessons about friendship. I'd let my ds watch the show but I have 2 young dd4 who might get the wrong idea....... I need help!

My children love to read. We used to have big library problems. We designated a spot to put library books that we weren't reading. If you lost a book, you had to find it before you took a new one off the self. Also, only 5 books checked at once.

When my dd, who is now 12, was 10, she was extremely lazy for about a week. My other dd, 11, was very lazy for a few days too. Very strange.

Well, my family is homeschooled and we don't have cable television, so we don't have problems with fads. Just the other daymy dd12 arrived at her Girl Scout meeting early and one of the other girls asked her what silly bands she had. Dd repplied, "What's a silly band?"
I say if your child wants to buy a dinosaur-shaped rubberband with his own money, let him.
