Yesterday I actually thought to myself that I might be one of those moms that moves wherever their child is. One of my friends who had kids really young told me that is why teenagers act like that, to help parents kick them out of the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829643 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:31:43 +0000 regberadaisy 829643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: andddd I grew up in a culture where you just do NOT talk about it. I want it to be the opposite with our kids. I want them to feel comfortable to come to us with those issues. So not sure how to achieve that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829642 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:31:43 +0000 Smurfette 829642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The birds and bees talk<br /> Teenage years with a girl ( I know she is going to be worse then a boy would have been) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829636 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:30:17 +0000 mrsjazz 829636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Oh I can see how you'd be afraid of it if you never had the talk! I got the talk at different stages: 8 when I learned how everything worked, at 13 when I got my period, and at 16 to "refresh" and talk about diseases, safe sex, and birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829630 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:29:03 +0000 littlek 829630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not looking forward to puberty and the teenage years.

I don't know why, because I have no role model for how to do it!</p> <p>I'm looking forward to a lot of things, actually! I like challenges and learning new things. I'm sure I'm being way to optimistic :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829626 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:28:20 +0000 regberadaisy 829626@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: no one ever gave me the talk so I'm afraid of giving it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829618 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:26:36 +0000 mrsjazz 829618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I'm not worried about the birds &amp; the bees at all! I felt like my mom did such a great job with us about it that I'm going to model her. I'm way more worried about talking to her about racism &amp; discrimination.</p> <p>I am not looking forward to potty training and discipline. Especially because DH and I come from families that spank and I don't want to, so I know there's going to be talk from the peanut gallery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829596 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:21:55 +0000 ShootingStar 829596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stargal: @2PeasinaPod: LOL, I think I'm really just worried about learning how to do it without getting peed on. I can't remember ever diapering a boy. Girls are easy - just wipe in the right direction and done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829584 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:19:09 +0000 2PeasinaPod 829584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: Yes! I'm a little afraid of this with a boy. I might make it DH's job :o) </p> <p>@MrsCB: I'm the opposite! Learning how to diaper a girl also scares me! Boys are easy...until they pee on you, and all over your living room curtains! His range is incredible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-parenting-task-are-you-not-looking-forward-to-learn-how-to-do#post-829574 Tue, 04 Jun 2013 11:17:51 +0000 sera_87 829574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Arden: I'm not worried about the bees/birds thing.

Until now! Now that its approaching its hard to think about how to really go about it!</p> <p>@stargal: On my current radar is the teen years, really growing H into a good man!
