One of my favorite things to do at MOPS was to host panels.  I thoroughly enjoyed the free flow of conversation and ideas being swapped.  Was invited to be a part of the panel this year but had to miss due to sick kiddos.  Posting the questions here so I can pick them up and generate a little discussion from time to time.  These mothers had some fantastic questions!  My husband and I enjoyed brainstorming the rekindle romance question during a recent date.  Conversation starters like these are invaluable!!!  Take your pick and have a stab at one:)

Hello Ladies!

Here are some of the questions for our MOM’s Panel on Tuesday, November 10th.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or topics you would like them to include.

1. How do I fit in exercise when I have so many chores!!

2. How do you get your kids on a good  sleep schedule?

3. How can you rekindle the romance? (please don’t say “date night”)

4. How do you get your husband to pitch in with chores around the house when he is just as overwhelmed and super busy?

5. Why do kids get so “sassy”? Getting it from school – what can you do to stop it?

6. My house is very unorganized & stuff is all over the place

Where do I begin? Where can I start?

I get motivated if someone is helping me, but there is no one

7. I have an EXTREMELY shy and stubborn 3-yr-old.  He refuses to speak with anyone even when with his parents.  He will even refuse to speak with extended family members that we see ona frequent basis.  Any suggestions on how to encourage him to speak?

8. When I am away from my child for a long time I feel bad scolding him and saying no so much because the time we get to spend together is limited.  How do I carry out the discipline and mold the child I want?  I feel like I only make it worse and he acts out only with me.

9. Ideas for thanking /showing appreciation to  family members / babysitters / other moms that watch your kids when the budget and time are very tight?
