You get yourself a nice new bed and give the kid the old one. Unless you have a king then might be a bit much.

Did this with son #1...put our old bedroom set (Queen) in his room We bought a crib that we used for both kids. The crib converted to a toddler bed and then converted into a full size. Son #2 is still using that bed

I think there's at least a chance they don't break this thing.

Small twin that basically was a solid pedestal where the mattress sat.on.
This was a really great design:
--low to ground in case they fell out
--no way for toys to get lost under bed
--didn't have to worry about "Monsters under the bed"

Well, my son is 3 and he's still mastering the whole standing up thing, so yeah.
If he was 14? No.

Yeah...we gave our son the double that was in the guest room. Got new for our room, and put our old queen sized in the guest room.
Then for my daughter...we bought my son a whole new bedroom furniture and moved the bed into hers because we already had other nice furniture that it worked with in her room.

That one is getting to be the whole...how long do you not worry about your kid walking in on you or wifey naked in any situation.

Bed: we got him a twin bed with a daybed frame and a trundle. We can covert it to a king for guests or leave it low for a sleepover. The daybed frame keeps him from falling out in 3 sides and we have a fold down gate.
Peeing: we are still trying to potty train so I make him watch urination wherever it's happening. Me, dogs, bum down on the corner...

I'm pretty sure that you're just modeling behavior that they should follow until 4 or so.

Oh yeah, always peeing in front of the two year old. He loves that ####.
As far as when to stop peeing/showering with your kids, I think you just know. My daughter (5) is constantly running around the house naked or taking dumps and has no hang-ups, and it's fine, but I keep the door closed when I pee or change clothes.
She also has a twin bed from IKEA that has drawers underneath, which are mighty handy.

My kids are a year apart. They shared a bedroom until my daughter was old enough for school. When she outgrew her convertible crib we bought bunk beds, but set up both bunks on the floor. When she started school, she got the guest bed (a double) in her room and my son got the stacked bunk beds in his room. When we had company stay over, she would sleep in the empty bunk.

My 10 year old son still walks around naked after he takes a shower. It's too far at this point imo, so I talk to him and tell him to at least put on a towel.
My 4 year old son went to the bathroom with mom yesterday. It's her time of the month and he saw the toilet water. scared the #### out of him.

you pee in front of other men is that creepy?
We never did the toddler beds and it worked great. Never had any issues with destruction. The same crib was used for all three and it converted to a full for the youngest. We just did regular full beds for all of them and bought two bed rails you could put under the mattress. After a bit the bed rails came off and were used for the next. We sold the crib bed and got the youngest a bedroom set like the other two.

Used the same toddler bed for all three kids. Had a twin that was passed down from oldest to youngest at first. Then we gave my daughter (oldest) a single trundle bed from Ikea that she really liked, and picked up two full-size beds for the two boys. These beds could be situated as bunk beds, but each boy is in their own room so no reason to use the bunk beds.
Daughter always has a friend stay over on weekends, so the trundle works out well as it extends to make a queen size bed for them to share.

It's cool as long as you don't make him clean the pee off your butt if you happen to sit in piss he left on the seat. Anyone with a better notebook than me remember who that was?

we did the same- but only because a store in the neighborhood was going out of business and was practically giving them away... and just happened to coincide with our oldest being roughly the right age. the smaller toddler bed has been great for us in a cramped NYC apt. the oldest outgrew it around 4yo, so we got him a twin that was tall enough to fit some storage bins under it that we already owned. swapped his younger sister into the toddler bed for now.
the toddler bed was a nice transition from the crib- low to the ground and small. but that said- our kids have always slept great in twins or larger, and if we hadn't found the toddler bed so cheap, I would've gone straight to a twin.

We only used it because we got it free in some raffle. But I will say if your kid still has occasional accidents while sleeping, these are way easier to change over in the middle of the night.

going to Sehorn this.
No time now, but have questions about cell phone and 14 year old. Kid is CONSTANTLY on it. It's driving his mom nuts. She took it away from him this morning because he wouldn't get out of bed and was going to be late for school. (caveat: son is good kid, gets straight As, etc.). He's just on it so much (mostly texting buddies and playing clash of clans). I'm not sure it's entirely healthy. (caveat #2: he and I are co-leaders of our Clan
-- maybe I should set a better example).

I haven't really noticed you before - but the posts I've seen have all been racist or assholish, like the above.How do you clean off the jizz stains?
even if it's schtick- the end result is being an #######? congrats- you've succeeded.

really. this is all 99% of kids do today, and it's because they've been given the ability to do it. I'm not calling you a bad parent, let's be honest here... 95% of this forum has nannies for their kids... but the other 5% have to work like dogs AND raise their kids.
a lot of the time it's just easier to have you kid occupied w a screen in front of them.
I could get into a SUPER long diatribe about this, and how socializing among youth and now younger adults is at a point where human beings are actually no longer connecting - and more importantly, they lack the ability to pick up on social cues/tones that are ingrained in society/human nature for hundred/thousands of years.
Anyways... I'll get off it. But if you want your kid to succeed in school AND in life, make sure his eyes get off the screen for at least a portion of the day, where he's forced to have face to face communication with people of all ages.

I'm interested in thoughts on smartphones, texting, the internet, etc. My 12 year old has a Chromebook and an iPhone.
Issues include:
-Should they have devices at all? How to deal with it when plenty of kids their age DO have them
-How much time is appropriate and how do you monitor/enforce that?
-Can they instagram, snapchat, twitter, etc.
-How to keep them away from porn that's so much more hardcore than the playboys and penthouses we looked at in the woods.
PS Chromebooks suck because as far as I can tell there's no way to limit internet use (other than a total block)

You can also do this in the city. Taught my son to pee by going outside next to our detached garage.
However, this backfired when he went to his Mother's Day Out program at the church. Teacher pulls my wife aside after she went to pick him up and said: "Can you please talk to your son and explain to him we can't go potty in the grass at the playground."
Turns out he dropped trou outside and took a whiz in front of everyone. He was about 2.5yo at the time. Wife was not happy.

You can get a wifi router that has a "guest network" that you can set time limits on and restrict certain types of sites. Example - you have "Mr. Randall146's network" with wifi pass word that has no time restrictions or site restrictions (and don't give them the password). You can even have that wifi network "hidden" so it doesn't come up if anyone's devices are looking for a network. Then you have "Randall kid's network" which shuts down all wifi routing at 9PM weekdays and 10PM weekends - and doesn't allow the good sites to go through.

That's a great idea, thanks.
Anyone know if it's possible to set up a second wifi network through the standard Verizon Fios router?
