[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this nature or nurture?[/quote]

As a parent to 5 children, I can tell you it's 90% nature 10% nurture.

Having nearly a half kids really knocks you off your high horse. [/quote]

Oh, save it. I grew up in a religious community and have known tons and tons of people with 5-7 kids.

Parents of many children always say that it’s all nature, when the reality is that their homes are too chaotic for any real parenting to happen. You know you spend limited amounts of time with each of your kids, and you’re always playing triage. So yeah, I’m sure from your perspective it’s all nature! You don’t have the time or energy to pick up on behavioral/academic/whatever problems until they are major issue.

It’s 90% nature in your house because there’s little nurture.[/quote]

+1.  They just ignore and don’t parent and say it takes a village and dump the kids on others. [/quote]

Omg so true[/quote]
Oh please. I have 6 kids. 5 perfectly well behaved and one little hellion from birth (whom we love dearly - but intense and challenging).you're telling me its my parenting that made him stop napping at 3 months? Made him run around in circles for hours because of high energy levels?

My 5 easy kids are super easy to parent. I set a boundary and they listen. Maybe one time they need a reminder. They would never think of climbing over a hate, jumping off the top of a bunk bed repeatedly, trying to touch fire to see "is it really hot mommy?". [/quote]

If you think the fact that your youngest won't nap has nothing to do with the fact that your house is the loudest place on earth, I've got a bridge to sell you.

Same if you think that your kid doesn't understand that "hellion" behavior is what gets attention in a house that is tied up trying to deal with four older kids.  Looks like he's figured out a way to protest and differentiate himself.
