About me - Shawnea Adair

Hello everyone! My name is Shawnea Adair and I live in Arkansas with my husband, 3 boys, 1 ferret, 1 guinea pig, 1 hamster, and 3 dogs. I know it looks like I have a kiddie farm but, we live pretty far out so plenty of room for all. I am a stay-at-home mom.

Sports & Recreation > Recreational & Youth Why parents should set a good example to kids in sports
3 of 20

Let me start out by saying I have 3 young boys (ages 11, 9, 6) who are at that very influential age, and tends to listen to everything that is around them and very much take it to heart, no matter if it is coming from mom and dad or maybe another parent. They all have different taste and enjoy different sports, which if just ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Is the slang use of the word "retard" or "retarded" discriminatory?Smallicon
23 of 33

Have you ever been hurt or upset by a name someone called you? Sometimes maybe even crying from being so upset over it, either as a child or an adult? If we all as individuals sit down and really think about our lives I don't think there is one person who can actually and truthfully so they have NOT been hurt by a name they h... More..

Parenting & Pregnancy > Feeding & Breastfeeding Should women be allowed to breastfeed in public areas?Smallicon
87 of 105

As a mother with 3 kids I have to say unequivocally yes! I find it extremely hard to understand as to why women that breastfeed should go somewhere else (ex. bathroom) to feed their child? We all eat in front of each other, so what, we should all go in the bathroom to eat? I don't think so. Now don't get me wrong, I am not sa... More..

Education > Education (Other) Should religious student clubs be allowed in public schools?Smallicon

No question about it, I answer with a resounding YES. I think religious student clubs should be allowed in schools. I think every child should have the opportunity to be in a religious club. You don't have to pressure a child to join if they don't want. That may be the only way some children can or would learn about religion.... More..

Oh boy, another one of those double edged swords. There are a couple variations and questions that need to be asked first. Are we talking about computer games, video games, gambling? It is typically very hard to lump all these into 1 category. My family owns play station 2, X-box, X-box 360 and all 3 of my kids have their own... More..

Relationships & Family > Talking with Teens & Children Is communication easier with a mother or a father?Smallicon
11 of 12

I first have to say I think it balances alot on what state of mind and attitude the child is in combined with the personality of the parents. Yes, mothers do seem to know when something is bothering the child or something is "off". There are some issues or problems children, especially boys, would much rather talk to their fa... More..

Food & Drink > Cooking (Other) How to make cooking a fun family activity
34 of 37

Honestly, how to make cooking a fun family activity isn't really the question. The question is how many take the time to cook with the family? I have never met a child that didn't like to see exactly how things go on in the kitchen and learn how to cook something. The pride they have to know a job well done is priceless. How... More..
