My Question of the Day: Cassidy, Shane’s wife is upset with him because she thinks he’s being unreasonable. They will be moving to a bigger home, with their five children: Kevin, age 15, David, age 14, Joseph, age 12, and twins Robert and Roberta, age 10.

The new home will have four bedrooms.

Cassidy thinks it’s time for Roberta to have her own room while Kevin and David share a room and Joseph and Robert share a room. Currently, Robert and Roberta room together and have done so since birth.

Shane, on the other hand, who has a twin sister, like Robert, wants Robert and Roberta to continue to room together, like he and his sister did until she reached puberty.

If you found yourself in this situation, would you choose to go Cassidy’s way or Shane’s way?

My Question of the Day: Hector and Rosa Milagros hire Austin to care for their three sons while they work long hours at their law firm. Austin has been with them for four months now, and they and their boys absolutely adore him. Despite a thorough background check on Austin, the Milagros are presented with a newspaper clipping by one of their junior associates that says Austin was once accused of child molestation. The article goes on to say that eventually the case was dropped when the child admitted that he lied because Austin refused to allow him to stay up past his bedtime. Austin never mentioned to the Milagros that he’d been accused of such charges. What should they do at this point?

My Question of the Day: What was something that your parent(s)/guardian(s) said to you all the time when you were growing up that absolutely annoyed you to no end, but you find yourself either thinking it or saying it when others do or say the same thing you used to say or do when you were younger?

My Question of the Day: Jordan is trying to potty train his two-year-old son, Jordan Jr., of whom he has primary custody. Jordan’s ex-wife, Lydia, gets Jordan Jr. every other week, and she is also helping with the potty-training duties. The problem is that Jordan and Lydia have different ideas about what to do when Jordan Jr. has an accident on himself. Lydia believes spanking Jordan Jr. will stop him from wetting himself, but Jordan is adamantly opposed to spanking Jordan Jr. for any reason, especially not for wetting himself.

Who do you think is right?

My 2 Cents: I think spanking a potty-training child for wetting him/herself would be just as, if not more, traumatic as having the accident itself.

Although I’m not a parent, I can’t see how physical pain would keep a two-year-old from wetting him/herself.

I’m going to have to agree with Jordan on this one.
