    Philosopher- you can have certain jobs that you expect of your kids. Jobs that they must perform without reward.

    You can save the coupons system for extra help they give you, or for certain jobs which are already more than you asked them for, or for extra special behavior, etc.

    Just an idea…

    There’s being a bike-a-thon for Chai lifeline this tuesday.

    About 40 bikers will leave tuesday morning from lakewood and bike up to Camp Simcha(Chai Lifelines Camp for sick children).

    They will do a total of about 12 hours of biking and then spend a few hours in camp Simcha.

    Each biker needs to raise a certain amount of money for Chai Lifeline and they already raised thousands of dollars so far.

    A family member of mine is joining the ride and I juts gave my donation!

    What selfless people! They give away hours to help this organization!

    Mi keamcha yisreal!

    However, when I click on search-an error comes up.

    I once did a subscription for a magazine for someone.

    Or a nice toy which she wouldn’t buy for herself because of price.

    A gift certificate in a store is also great.

    I can’t believe no one mentioned coffee. That’s my favorite. Vanilla would probably come next.

    (I love coffee ice cream topped with hot fudge and cookie crumbs!)

    So wolf- HOW do you tell good shabbos to everyone?

    I pass 3 people every 3 inches. I would look quite unstable if I would keep turning my head left and right distributing good shabbos greetings.

    Kids that get enough love and security don’t feel like they’re lacking anything,even when their friends have things that they don’t.

    I have a friend whose family is quite poor. But she was always happy and SO CONFIDENT with herself. This came from her home. She was best friends with her mother and she never felt a need for anything else.

    Now the question is how we give that to our dear children? I try, but I think I’m clueless!!

    With toddlers we stay home!! They enjoy the local park just as much as they would enjoy Lake George! 🙂

    If you really want to do the trip, then take some somewhere with a lot of outdoor running space. Kids love to be free in a yard, even a porch, or on green grass, without being restricted to their house.

    If parents today are so spoiled, of course the kids are too.

    Kids learn by example.if you want ur kids to be content, then you gotta be happy too.(And I’m also talking to myself here).

    Wolf-im not saying right or wrong, but if you know the woman from wherever, then I can UNDERSTAND WHY you would greet her. Same with one’s wife.

    But a woman that you never met b4?

    Maxwell- I was brought up in a very kind and friendly home. But we don’t greet every person we pass.

    Yes,if someone asks me to help out with directions(even opposite gender), of course ill smile to them.

    I don’t know about you, but I live in brooklyn, and I pass hundreds of people a day. Not possible to nod my head 5 times in 1 second….

    Sorry wolf, but I did feel like shouting! (Talk about being rude:)

    First of all-did your rav mean greeting aquaintances or greeting absolutely never met before and never will meet people.

    I don’t greet ANY people that don’t know me,whether male or female. And I wouldn’t feel good if they would greet me. I only need people who know me to greet me.

    Anyway wolf-Pleeeeeaaaasssseeee don’t act silly. You know a wife is different. If my hub wouldn’t speak extra with me, then I would be very hurt and probably divorce him. A couple has a special relationship that they have to keep.

    But that woman across the street who never met you before, shouldn’t be greeted. Sorry.

    Wolf, it isn’t rude not to greet others THAT U HAVE NO CLUE WHO THEY ARE AND U JUST PASS THEM BY ON THE STREET.

    Does your Rav greet your wife on the street? Does his Rebbetzin greet you?

    It isn’t a mitzvah in theleast bit.

    Yes wolf- al tarbeh meaning only whatever is necessary.

    Saying GM isn’t necessary. Take it from a woman. I’m perfectly ok WITHOUT greetings from every man on the street.

    If they greet, they’re being EXTRA nice.

    When it says hevei makdim es kal haadom b’sholom, it did not say, “unless you are a woman.”

    Oomis- when it says al tarbah sicha em haisha, it didn’t say,”except a good morning greeting”.

    I don’t think it’s appropriate to greet opposite genders when you’re only passing them on the street.

    Of course if someone greets you then you answer back but there’s no reason for you to greet men. But that is your own decision and everyone is responsible over the decisions they make.

    Dr pepper- mezuzos in the worng place isok to say! The parent is allowed to point out something which the son/daughter obviously doesn’t know or realize.

    But when the child knows what he’s doing(like not going to shul, or even wearing a blue shirt instead of white:)….) Then it is SO WRONG for the parent to tell something.

    I’ve had my experiences when my hubs or my parents pointed out certain(real dumb) things and what should I tell you…it didn’t do too good.

    If you marry off your child, you gotta trust him/her that they know how to go about their own lives. Even if they don’t do 100% as you want.

    Wolf, if you see someone in a streimel, do you wonder if he’s chassidish, litvish, MONTH, or perhaps a non jew?

    Why do you automatically think of him as Chassidish?

    If you start wearing a shtreimel, it doesn’t make you chassidish. But if you would absolutely love the shtreimel look, you wouldn’t wear it either, because Chassidim wear shtreimlech.

    That proves that we are categorized by our clothing. When I walk down the streets, I see what people wear and according to that I figure where they belong.

    A different story is if someone doesn’t live up to their dress code…

    It should NEVER come from the parents. If a married child does wrong, then the parents can send a third party to speak to the child.
