First of all, welcome to this humble(?) blog; I hope you find help here in all your questions as it seems you have concerning kids.

I moved a few times as a kid....  east side, west side NYC, Queens. the Island, Hudson Valley, Chgo., Knox, Sill, Belvoir, Bamberg, Dippach, Graf....  and look I am still sane?  

Love kids; visiting my only kid in Kansas right now.  Kid?  35 and a doctor?  Still my kid... tho.  Haven't seen Dorothy yet or a tornado...

You guys all better get together at a park or something; I know a extended family in TJ that have younger and very smart kids and bi-lingual and cute.  Want to invite them too?  All kids are cute.

Kids LOVE security!  And they eventually seek their independence at their own pace.

You will do fine as it seems you are a very intelligent Mom.  As well as the others that previously contributed.

Thank you to everyone on Tijuana blog. You all have been so kind. It is really hard and seems to be getting harder but we are hanging in there. We are looking for a nice park to go to. That does sound like a good shot. We are trying rverything

Hi Chellie!
WElcome to you and your family!
Do the kids speak Spanish? Do they go to school in TJ or San Diego? There ARE some members here that have kids. My Hubby has his boys living with us. They are ages 13 and 16. The only issue with them is that is they speak primarily Spanish with little English. They are learning, and the 16 year old has been with us longer so he can understand more English. We try to get them to watch more English TV and also learn from us, but since their Dad is fluent in both languages and they go to school here in TJ, they choose Spanish, their English is kinda put on the back burner. I comunicate with them in sort of a Spanglish.
Tell the kids to hang in there, things will look up, also see if you can get them to try to learn some Spanish if you can.

thanks for the kind words. We came from San Bernardino so i home school them. that means they stay indoors even that much more. I hear alot of people take thier kids to San Diego for school. But i wouldnt know how to go about that. No my kids dont speak spanish very well. My husband spends an hour a day teaching them and they are doing good. But for the most part, no they dont speak spanish. I feel kinda silly doing this and if my kids knew they would nominate as the "Dorkiest Mom of the Year" but do you think that your boys would to hang out with my son sometime? He is the one that is having the hardest time here. He doesnt make friends easily. He's kinda shy. He was born with a cleft lip and pallet so he has always been self cautious of his apperence. But he is a good kid. well if you think maybe so, then please let me know. Thank you

Hello everybody, i have been a member for a while and i can now officially say i live in TJ, my name is Mauricio (although not mexican but my wife is), my family and i decided to move to mexico to see if this is were we want to live when i retire.
I would live some advise and places to go visit, i don't drink, smoke or do drugs and really not interested in night life, but more family oriented places, we love eating out, outdoor activities, i like motorcycle racing and would be interested in finding out where to race. My kids don't have friends yet and they sure miss their buddies, so maybe a club or something like it where kids can interact, around my house is a place called Club Britania, maybe someone can tell me how that place is. we are also very active and enjoy sports maybe a good gym, anyways i appreciate the replies and hopefully enjoy my stay in TJ and who knos maybe become a permanent resident.

Hi Mauricio. My name is Michelle. My husband and i have been here since March and its been pretty lonley. We have four kid. A boy-14, girl-12, girl-10, and boy-8. They are not liking it too much without friends. We dont speak much spanish so we dont even go outside very much. My husband speaks spanish and was born here in TJ so he is not having such a bad time. Anyhow, I dont know if your kids are around the same ages as mine but if so, it would be so great if they could maybe meet. If my kids were happy then all my woes would be gone. Hope this can work out.
