Time Outs when are they acceptable and for what age

I have always wondered how old a parent child should be when they start giving time outs. Out of mind I have not clue on what age i should start giving my children time outs. I know around three or four would be ok but my question is from readers is what is the youngest you would give your child a time out. My son is a year old and I think that is to young of a age but he understands the word no but still doesnt listen very well I can honestly say he is quite stubborn like i was when i was a child but do you think he would respond well if we tried giving him time outs. Another thing I have in mind to find out is that my son has a temper and flips out and kicks his feet like kids who are to do ism this normal

Day in the life of a dad

I have seen some parents these days that just dont understand how responsible you have to be to be a parent. With the teen pregnancy rate go up This world as we know will change. So if you are young and probably some of you are still yoiunf and stupid and havent grown up much then you must understand that being a parent is tough takes a lot of work and its something you cant just wake up one day after hearing you infant cry and roll over and go to sleep. Here is what my day is like as being as being 20 years old and have a a son who is a year old. I start off my day at 7:00 when my son wakes up I go into his room pick him up change his diaper and then I let hime play with his toys for a little while while i make him breakfast. As I make him breakfast I make a cup of coffee for me get something to eat and then I turn on the news and put my son in his high chair and depending on the day I give hime two pancakes with no syrup and some yogurt and some milk After he is down eating I clean him up  clean his high chair and let play with him for like a hour so at this time it is 10 o clock at 10:30 he goes down for a hour nap waking up aroung 11 11:30 and in the time he is sleeping I clean up the house do the dish take out dinner if it needs thawing out sweep the floor take out the trash and sit down for ten minutes to relax with my fiance. Now keep in mind that I have been umemployed for a year and my fiance is 8 months pregnant with my second son and she helps me out a lot and that we work together as a team. When my son wakes up from his take my fiance feeds him lunch while i finish cleaning and then after he is done eating we play with him for a couple hours or let him do his independent time so me and her can spend time together he goes down for a nap at 3:30 til 4:30 and we let him play and interact with him while my fiance or I get dinner readsy at five and at 6:00 we feed my son his dinner and eat ours and play with him til 7:00 and at that time we give him a bath get him inter pjs and he goes to sleep around 8:30 after my son goes down for bed we both lay down and relax normally we watch a movie and we still have not finished our day My son still is not sleeping through the night so he wake up around 1 o clock 3 o clock 5 o clock and he wakes up again for the day around 7 the next morning so this is a day of a dad or a day of being a parent on the days we stay at the house

I hope younf teens who read this realize that bringing a child into this work is a lot of work and it takes a strong minded person to be a great parent

My wife and I aren't doing so well

Ok here is a post that maybe someone out there can relate to. My wife is 8 months pregnant and ever since we had our first child she seems to want nothing to do with me. I try so hard to help her out with our son but she still doesn't want to be with me it seems. We rarely ever talk anymore and she is always tired from taking care of our 1 year old son I work 60 hours a week and I come home and she doesnt even say hi or I love you before we go to sleep Another thing that is going on is I understand that some women dont like having sex when they are pregnant but she nevers even wants to cuddle or kiss or anything like that I love her to death but someone has to help me out
