About MKR, I'm sorry but those girls are just teaching young kids that bullying is ok. As much as I love the show I am so disappointed that Channel 7 is making bullying seem like its ok. Kids watch this show and think behaviour like the Asian girls is ok! IT'S NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Channel 7 you should be so disappointed with the example you are setting with this show!!! how can you seriously allow bullies on a family show, no wonder children think its ok to bully. shame on you for allowing the asians to get away with it.
Channel 7 is supposed to anti bullying yet shows this?
I've had a few people tell me tonight I'm wrong for having this opinion but I'm entitled to what I think!!

Making Memories
Today we've been drinking those flavour milk straws with our milk. Miss 7 is happily drinking hers and suddenly starts to blow bubbles. Normally I would growl and tell her to use her manners while at the table but today a little voice told me to stop and join in. So I did!! Well it brought back memories and seeing the look on Miss 7's face was just the best!!
I think as parents we are very quick to bring our children into line or to train them into being young adults that we soon forget that they are just children who need the chance to make fun memories with their parents.
What better way to show your love for your kids than to give them your time. It’s a tangible expression of how worth it they are in your eyes. It creates in them a sense of self worth and confidence.
When your children leave home the most important thing they will take with them is their memories. And while they are still there the memories will give your child, even teenagers, a strong sense of family commitment, and a desire to actually be home because they enjoy it. Strong families are built on a foundation of love, and love, as you probably know, doesn’t simply happen. Love takes work — especially when the details of the day-to-day grind seem to crowd out everything else and leave you short on time and short of energy.
Making memories is one way to create a lasting sense of common identity and shared love among everyone in your home. Good memories are wonderful to have. Doing things as a family, or even one on one with each child is a great way to make some memories. When you make memories with your children, you are building a life-time of family fun. The good memories they carry into adulthood will help them have good relationships with their own children in the future. Traditions they have as they are growing up may be carried on and enjoyed, even in years to come.
Here are some of my favourite ways to spend time making memories:
You should spend quality time with your children in order to make memories. Arrange a special family night every week and involve the whole family to take part in a fun activity. You can go camping, make dinner with family, share jokes, play board games or other activity games and even involve the whole family for craft projects.
Take your child out for dinner at least once or twice a month. Express how much you love your child and give him a gift or a card. You can take them out in a place your child loves.
Take photos on every special moment you are with your child. After gathering many pictures, get a scrapbook or photo journal and organize photos in it. Do this in monthly basis and when you are organizing photos with your children, you can remind them of the incidents which happened on that day.
When your kid goes on a vacation or on camping then you can write letters on weekly basis or send them emails on daily basis. Express your feelings in the mails and tell your kids how much you love and care about them. Also tell how much you are missing them and you can’t wait for their return.

You should take your family to vacations after every six months or a year. Take them to historical places, Disneyland, fun places etc and have a lot of fun with them. Remember to capture your moments when you are on vacations with your family.
So ... what are some of your ways to make memories with your kids?
Kate Moss Naked Picture at 15 - so not ok with this!
I don't care what anyone says but a picture of a fifteen year old child in an art gallery is still porn!! You cannot tell me that's art!! I don't care if its Kate Moss and that she's a model! She's 15! So many many things wrong with that!! You can't justify it by saying its art because its in an art gallery!
I know there are nudey photos of me from when I was a kid and I def have some of Miss 7 I think but what I dont agree with is it being used in a public forum like an art gallery. Everyones quite entitiled to their own opinions and this is just mine. As a mother of a young girl I know all too well the dangers that are out there and just think its wrong for pictures of a child at that age to be on display whilst they are naked in them. The problem with nude pictures of a child is in the fact that there are people who wont look at them as they are intended to be looked at and that they look at them from a sexual way.
I also think of it this way, If someone took a modelling picture like that of either Miss 7 or Miss 11 at that age what would I think? I definitely wouldnt like it. Young girls will see this picture and think its ok to pose with half naked shots for their boyfriends and we all know how that ends, boyfriends then post to places like facebook and we have a whole world of bullying start. A child of that age doesnt have the forethought to consider the repercussions of things and therefore is incapable of making an informed knowledgable decision re photos like that. And if young girls think photos like that are normal then the next step is something a bit more riskier then all of a sudden we have photos like a lot of the ones of young teenagers popping up on the net.
What do you think?? Feel free to post your thoughts, its a debate with lots of views :)
