What will you never allow your child to....

lol Emsmom yip Dylan will have his fair share of hand me downs which already include an outdated laptop, two ipods and about 3 cell phones. That's if they are still in one piece by then. We called Dylan GADGET in utero and some still do.

No smoking - cigarettes or boom unless they share.

Routine urine drug analysis.

They must keep bedroom door open unless they are having sex with bf/gf.

Our Idea is for when we build our house to have a Playroom for the kids - in this will be the TV, XBOX, etc. And then a Study room for them with the computer etc. My DH is an IT geek, so i know he'll make sure the computer is for studies only when we want it to be that.

Otherwise I'm a pretty laid back mom, don't mind TV. Also hate the hooting outside. I want to know my childs friends as well.

I know our LO's will be spoilt tech wise - my DH has already given Em her own 38gig I-pod touch. She has games and movies on there. We do re-strict the type of movies she is allowed to watch though.

1. No TV/computers in the bedroom
2. NO Tattoo's or piercings (except for earrings) until 18years old
3. No locks on doors
4. No smoking or cigarettes at the house (and obviously only when older than 18)

yes and the smoking part - not in my house ever - nobody smokes there anyways

with regards to the tv - we don't have dstv - so there's not much to watch anyways lol

They will never be allowed to smoke while they are living at home

Julz, love the no hooting one! I just hate it when someone hoots outside my door. Especially silly people who finds that their way of saying goodbye, my BIL does that.

Jems, I've seen too many Supernanny, Little angel etc episodes to fall for TV in the room. We didn't have one growing up, we still don't have one and it will stay that way. No teenagers get to a difficult stage where if they have a tv in their room you will never see them again. Will force them to spend time with us as a family even if it is just watching TV
