Well, the whole point of having kids is to teach them how to be independent; or at least my understanding. If they have to rely on mommy all the time, where does it end? It's just like hearing about those kids who are breastfeeding at 4. My two year old niece still can't form a sentence and is wearing diapers, and I wonder if she's already too old for all that.
she can say words though? .-. might be something wrong here
Yeah. In fact, yesterday I taught her the word "desert" (I figure if she lives in Phoenix, she's gonna need to know what that word means). And yet she still just points at things and goes, "enh!" whenever she wants something. I know she knows the words. Makes me wonder if she's just being lazy sometimes.
Last week, I noticed that my 8 year old niece's hair was turning into a giant dread lock ... so I asked her when the last time she had brushed it was ... her response "I don't know how to brush my hair, Mommy always does it for me." /sigh really?!?
Then this weekend, while camping, she wanted to go play in the lake. I said sure, put some sunscreen on your chest and shoulders before you go. Her response "you want me to do it myself?" I said, yeah, it's just like soaping up in the shower, except you don't rinse it off ... "I don't know how to soap myself up, Mommy always does it for me." OMFG are you kidding me?
My 6 year old knows how to do this stuff for himself, how can she not?? I don't get it ... Am I totally over reacting or is this normal?
I know most of you don't have kids, but I am still interested in what you think.
8 years old? She should be able to kill her own dinner by that age.

I could!
Haha, I'm sure the little man would try really hard (he just got his first bow n arrow last week) and he's only 6!

Your early development of killing skills shows each time I walk in the dungeon.

I assume in a couple of years you'll drop him off in the woods with only a pocket knife and tell him you'll be back in a month?

I always used to do that.
Edit: I still do sometimes.
I think she gets it from my dad. Half the time I find I have to play charades with him to figure out what the hell he wants.
"Son, could you get me the uh... you know... Uh... that uh... So I can eat my... son, you know what I..."
Venison! I've always wanted to try hunting, but I don't think I have what it takes to kill a deer. They're like tall dogs with trees growing out of their heads. I'd rather give them a biscuit and give them a scratch behind the ears.
I've heard tales where if you're a virgin hunter, once you get your first kill, you have to hop out of the tree stand, cut out its heart and take a bite out of it right there covered in blood and everything.

Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.
Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
