I just got a new cell phone and was reading about the services that allow parents to locate your kids via GPS on his or her cell phone.

That's right — everywhere your teen goes, you can watch them go.

By this point I'm pretty accustomed to toys, clothes, kitchen utensils, sporting equipment and everything else tossed about the place. That's just life with kids. But the one place I like to keep clean and orderly is my own bedroom. The other day I walked in to find evidence of intruders.

A yellow rain boot filled with stuffed animals sat in the middle of the floor.

My nightstand drawer was hanging open ready to fall, disemboweled, with my iPod, asthma inhaler and other assorted (personal!) stuff strewn about the bed.

Someone dragged my husband's ankle weight all the way across the room by the door. It was 10 pounds, so this culprit was very strong. But it caused me to trip and stub my toe, which is why I got so mad and wrote this post.

My baby sees me naked all the time, but I don't think that's a big deal. And a poll on the Toddler Buzz shows that most moms will stop letting their toddler see them naked when they or their kid gets embarrassed by it. But what about bigger kids? Momversation wants to know if you think you should allow your older kids to see you naked.

Should your big kids and teens see you naked? At what age should you start to cover up? Does the gender of the child make a difference?

CafeMoms are always asking for ways to get their kids to talk to them, so we're helping out with a weekly dinner conversation-starter.

Have you seen all the news reports about how the Bush twins spent much of Bush's eight years in office giving the Secret Service "fits?"

On the one hand, it's pretty amusing to think of Barbara and Jenna trying to escape from the agents. On the other, it might be the perfect segway to talk to our kids about this week's topic: Privacy.

Many CafeMoms think that opposite sex toddlers sharing a bedroom is no big deal, but the room is split on whether opposite sex teen siblings should share quarters. Some states even have laws that prohibit it.

But here's a new kid sleeping question that popped up in Advice for Moms -- same sex siblings sleeping in the same bed.

jen_wikstrom's 5 and 6 year old sons share a room, and they always end up sleeping in the same bed, even though they each have their own. They are not foster children (there are laws governing those types of sleeping arrangements). She wants to know if it's okay to move the bed out of the room and let the boys sleep on the one bed, since they always end up there anyway.

Lots of moms admit to reading kids' text messages, checking their Facebook page, and hacking into their e-mail. It's no wonder—with so many sex offenders lurking on the Web, as well as the practice of sexting becoming more and more common, moms are determined to protect their kids online. But some experts say that talking to your kids about technology and Internet use is more effective than digital spying.

Once a girl gets her period, there is so much she has to get used to--and quickly. Her body is changing, as are her feelings and emotions. But along with learning how to navigate those waters, also comes the responsibility of learning how to use pads and pantyliners, and for some girls--tampons.

My children share a room, and for the most part, really do enjoy each other's company. But there are times when my 5-year-old wants a break from his little brother. Sometimes he just wants to do his art in peace or play with his animal toys without sharing. But when he gets testy with his brother, I usually come down on him about "being nice." As a big sister myself--one who was fiercely protective of her own space--I realize that I've got to be a lot more sensitive to my older son's need for private time.

You'd think I'd be way over this by now. I'm not.

I'm a little embarrassed to say it, but I still have some serious issues about my body post baby. Sure, the last time I gave birth was over three years ago--and I'm far from overweight--but I just can't reconcile the sagging breasts, loose skin on my tummy and the little "lip" that has formed over my bikini line as a result of two C-sections.Yuck.

Weird but true (and thankfully, not in this country).

An outraged father in Wales, Anthony White, recently withdrew his 14-year-old daughter from her school because they installed cameras in the girls bathroom.
