Doing everything for your kids because it's easier on them or you won't really help them. Here's why.
When we become parents, we know that we now have a huge responsibility. We are now responsible for the health and safety of a new little person; however, it goes far beyond that. We are now in charge of raising a child who will go on to be a productive and responsible member of society. These babies and children will grow into adults, and parents play a large role in how they turn out and what they go on to do in life. This is a lot of pressure, and it is no wonder that moms everywhere are feeling pressure and stress when raising children.Another reason they are feeling the pressure is that there is no instruction manual. There is no one book on how to do things correctly. That is because every child and family unit is unique and what may work for one family will not work for another. However, child development is pretty standard and while it may be at different rates and speeds, children will all develop on a similar timeline. That stands to reason that there are going to be things that work for all. RELATED: How To Raise A Well-Adjusted Child A lot of parents want to make sure their child is successful, safe, and comfortable and this means that a lot of parents can fall into the trap of doing everything for their child. They want to help them, they feel it is their responsibility, and they don’t want their child to face any stress. However, this could turn out to be detrimental, and it may not be doing our children any favors.
Let’s first look at why parents do this, and you may even notice that you do this too without even realizing it. According to Healthline , the main reason why parents do this is that they want their children to be happy. Parents also do this because they want to avoid any conflict .
Parents may clean their child’s room for them every week because they know there may be some resistance from their child, and they want to avoid that. Some parents can even do this because they enjoy feeling needed by their child, and they may struggle with the idea that their child can do it on their own now.
The term for this phenomenon is ‘ learned helplessness ,’ and that means that a child is going to grow up and not know how to do basic things for themselves because they have never been taught. It is important for parents to recognize when they may be doing too much for their children.
According to Empowering Parents , if the task seems like a bigger burden to you than your child then you are likely to do too much. If you want to change this way of thinking, the next time your child comes to you with a problem that they need to solve, ask them what they think they should do. This can get them thinking, and you can brainstorm together instead of just handling their problems for them.
When we automatically do things for our children, from cleaning their rooms to telling them how to solve a disagreement with a friend, we are robbing them of essential learning moments in their lives. They will not grow to know how to handle conflict, or even how to clean a room.
When we think about it, our children are not going to run into many people throughout their lives who are willing to just do everything for them. When they go to school, their teacher is certainly not going to, and they are going to encourage them to do it for themselves. According to Professors House , when we let children do things for themselves, we are helping them. We are helping them learn skills, but we are also helping them build confidence that they can do anything.
A child who has had everything done for them is not going to have the confidence to try when they are asked to at school. They won’t believe that they are capable, but a child who is used to doing things for themselves will have the confidence to try, even if they have never done it before.
It can be hard to realize that our children are growing up, and they may not be so reliant on us as they were as babies, and it may take a bit of ‘letting go’ work on mom’s part, but even if they are doing more for themselves, they will always need their mom.

Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.

Emmys Predictions: Patton Oswalt Helps You Win Your Emmys Pool
The series has been applauded for addressing themes of real-life issues such as alcoholism, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, problem gambling, homelessness, relapse, domestic violence, overdose, rape, obesity and stroke, and has been praised for maintaining a deft balance between the humorous and darker aspects of these issues.
OK so it's not what you want you children to model themselves after but then neither was producer Chuck Lorre's Two and a Half Men. This is sort of the female version of that great show and maybe it's because it's a mostly female cast that it seems to raise the ire of so many. I don't know or care, to me its funny. Anna Faris is well Anna Faris and if you like her in things like the "Scary Movie" series then you will probably like her playing Christy who often innocently deadpans her way through raunchy or absurd situations with great comedic sensibility. Allison Janney plays Christy's Mom Bonnie who is the counterpart to Charley Harper's slutty mom Evelyn. The show probably could use a "Berta" but it has enough good characters to develop into the same sort of comedic juggernaut Two and a Half Men was, given some good writing. Time will tell.
