Q. I don't like hardly anyone, especially kids, using my electronics (my 3DS, for example) -- they're not allowed to, in fact.
Why? It's because their hands are sticky/dirty and they are often not gentle.
I take good care of my things and simply cannot trust others to be careful.
It seems that it's seen as offensive if I ask others to be gentle, as if I'm assuming that they will not be.
Am I in the wrong here?
I ask because of a little debate that I had with my mom and step-dad earlier about letting a 2-year-old play on an iPad -- with supervision, of course.

A. I have kids and I didn't have a problem letting my children play with my expensive "gadgets". I knew that they'd be gentle and careful. I am more reluctant with other people's kids.
You are completely within your rights to refuse other people's children or your own children to play with your electronics. These are YOUR items, not public property. Even if you are overprotective of your items, it does not change a thing. If a child does accidentally break the item, most parents will offer to replace it BUT...but they will expect you to turn down their offer and get offended and/or angry if you don't-especially if it's a family member.

What are some detectives that kids may know?
Q. For a holiday program my church is organising, the theme is detectives. The age group is prep (age 5) to 12 year olds. For every day, a 'detective' will be comming to talk to the kids (an adult dressed up) For the 5 day week, we will need 5 different detectives that primary school age kids would know. We have already thought of Nancy Drew and Sherlock Holmes. Can u think of some other ones. Thanks.
A. The Hardy boys, Dick Tracey, Scooby doo, Inspector Gadget, Detective Conan.
What advice would you give to a new mum about raising kids?
Q. What advice would you give to a new mum about raising kids that you wish someone had told you? My babys due on Christmas Day!
A. 1. You won't need half the crap that you bring to the hospital with you. And it will be a pain in the butt to carry it all home.
2. There are tons of stupid baby gadgets out there. Don't get suckered into things like baby wipes warmers, knee-pads for crawlers, etc.
3. It will be much harder than you ever expected, and so much more rewarding than you ever expected.
4. Let your partner help. Insist that your partner helps.
5. Even with a newborn, you need time alone. Give the baby to your partner, a grandparent, anything, and get out of the house for an hour, ALONE! Get a pedicure, buy a book, or just go grocery shopping by yourself, at least once a month.
