1. The comfort of a million momsMy son, Max, has special needs, and I regularly have a lot of work to do to get him the services and therapies he needs. Once, on an evening spent slaving over school and insurance forms, Social Media, I hit Facebook to say: Like this if youre tired of filling out forms. Voila! Hundreds of likes and comments from moms who knew exactly how I felt. And suddenly, filling out forms was a little less painful. The friends Ive made through social media have become a major part of my special-needs journey. I count on them for support, comfort, and go-you!Social Media cheers.

OMG Yahoo...what now...more stupidity????

I really think that we are getting too dependent on social media. Its keeping people from ce to ce socialization.

I agree some technology and social media is good for some things whether youre a parent or not, but I think we are also living in a way too technological dependent world. I recently had a disagreement with a cebook friend over letting kids use Ipads. She let her 4 year old play games on it and her 4 year old accidently bought stuff from amazon on it. I made a point of saying that was one reason I dont have one and that it was a good because I wouldnt want my child having one and not letting kids constantly stare at a screen. She got all bent out of shape and said I would eat my words and that it was easy for me to say because I dont have kids. Im pregnant right now and have been getting into the mommy mindset and thinking about decisions like this long and hard and I have never been that big on technology other than my laptop, phone and my tv with blu ray. I only go on to my cebook for about 10 minutes a day and dont bother with other things like Ipads, nooks, etc. I feel there are better things for young children to do without becoming so dependent on my phone or computer as their main source of entertainment. Thats just my opinon though. It can be so easy to give kids an Ipad and go about your day, and I dont ult anyone who does, its your choice as a parent. Just be aware that it might not be so easy to get them to stop using it later in life when they have video games and internet access. All Im saying is that it might be good not to give them so much technology at such a young impressionable age when they could be reading a book or playing with a toy and their imagination. Let their minds flourish for the first couple of years and introduce technology a little at a time so they have more appreciation for life outside the world of internet and apps. There are things we all say we will do and then later go back on and then ther are those you really stick to your guns on. I myself plan to keep my finger on the trigger and shoot straight on when it comes to how much technology my kid will get throughout his life.

With my daughters sleepover birthday party coming up, I needed ideas for a good movie to show the nine girls. So I headed over to Facebook and posted my question. Within a couple of hours, more than 80 suggestions had poured in, including great oldies Id forgotten (Freaky Friday, The Parent Trap) and excellent newbies (Brave, The Lorax). Plus one link to a mom who matched food to Disney movies; Toy Story movie night,new york asian escort for example, featured Mr. Potato Heads and Pizza Planet Pizza. Whoa -- outta my league! Not a day -- or sometimes an hour -- goes by without my being seriously thankful for social media. Its my go-to source for information, inspiration, relaxation and, oh yes, release of frustration. These are the 10 ways social media has been a mom game-changer for me, and many other moms. - By Ellen Seidman

The 10 biggest secrets parents hide from their kids

10 tech relics Ill have to explain to my kids

I sure hope they are joking!!!! This is pathetic, social media does nothing but make a mother a lazy person. Can you not use your own brain and be your own person. I dont need social media telling me how to be a mother.

I sometimes wonder how my grandparents and parents made it through tough times and still managed to be great parents without the aid of social media, TV (I was 13 before we even had one) and the psychologists. We have evolved into a society without common sense, who cannot or will not research movies, books, etc for themselves. My grandparents had 15 kids, came through two wars, the great depression and poverty. Their children, my parents and uncles and aunts, all became hard working individuals who raised their milies with good ethics and common sense. We may be rich, we may be poor, we may not have a great many possessions. The one commodity we all have the same amoutn of is time. It is how we spend it that is important. Perhaps if we concentrated more on the child itself, rather than whether or not they are involved in this or that, we will get better results.
