Today i took my 9 year old boy and my 10 year old girl to the mall to shop for back to school stuff...and they would not stop picking on each other....i ended up lifting the girl onto my shoulders to try and separate them...this seemed to work, but it's kind of hard to shop with a 10 year old girl sitting on your shoulders...i toted her around that way until we got to the car...are there better ways to stop this?

Have 2 BIG families-foster & biological-with a LOT of members, & not 1 member to turn to for support?

That makes me feel really low.

We are thinking of moving about 1000 miles from where we currently live. I have been living in the same town that I grew up in for 30 years, and have never been anywhere outside my state. My brother's family, my parents, and my husbands parents all live where we do. My husband has done a lot of traveling, and is used to moving. We have two young children (7 and 2). I am wondering if other moms have had this scenario and what they ultimately decided. What were the benefits of moving? What would you have changed about moving? What were the hardships you faced? Was it hard moving to somewhere you didn't know, with no family close by? What did you do when you wanted to go out with just your husband and had to leave the kids with someone you weren't related to? How did you adapt to a new environment and all the changes (job, home, etc.)? How did your children adapt? Thank you to the helpful answerers!

Do you think I will have the potential to be the type of parent that will abuse her children? I'm scared that I will become an abusive parent.

I've been told that I work well with children. I do with other kids in a variety of areas, but it seems to be differnt with my own siblings. I'm afraid I will end up being the type of person that just hates her child, or even be physically and emotionally abusive. I have a younger half sister, who grew up with very permissive parents. I'm not allowed to discipline them, so when they kick me, lock me out of the house, tell me I'm stupid, steal my stuff etc., I just sit there and say, "Oh, please don't do that." I hate it. I scare myself, because sometimes I think, "What she really needs is some intense punishment. That would fix her behavior." I hate to admit it, but I am referring to physical punishment. Sometimes, I think of horrible things to say. I do not act upon these feelings, but I'm afraid that one day, I might with my own child.

I'm worried that when I become a mom, I will have this hatred towards my child. I'm scared that I will become an abusive parent because of how strongly I may hate my child. I find that I am similar to my mother in many ways, and she did not handle her anger well at all. My mother would do some pretty "crazy" things when she was angry, which included beatings, punching me, banging my head against the wall, scratching me, telling me to die, hair-pulling etc. etc. on a daily basis. In fact, my teacher in third grade actually reported her to the authorities because they suspected abuse. I see a lot of her in myself--the anger, the frustration, and the need to "show the child who is boss." It sickens me. I grew up so terribly afraid of her, and I don't understand why I have these feelings. Shouldn't my past actually do the opposite? Instead, I feel like I'm might be just like my mother.

I think I might have trouble bonding with child. I don't think I'm capable of loving someone as much as I should. I want to be a "Brady Bunch" kind of mom. I want my child to grow up emotionally healthy and love me, but I don't think I'm capable. What should I do?

My 2 year old has to go to her father's for a week every other week, and it breaks my heart every minute that I'm not with her. I go to counseling, I go to church, I go out with family and friends, and still my heart and soul hurts so bad. I cry when I go to sleep, I cry during my dreams, and I cry when I wake up. So far nothing makes it better. I know the only thing that will is to have my little girl by my side all the time, not just half, but her father and the courts don't see it that way. They don't care how great of a mom I am, they think taking me and her brother out of her life for half of it is a good thing. Me and her father don't even fight. He just doesn't want me around. So they push me and my family aside like we don't matter. One day when she turns of school age they may take her away from us even more, leaving us with only seeing her every weekend. We live far from dad that's why I'm so worried. I'm scared I'm going to get real sick soon too. What should I do?

I had a baby girl recently and our new neighbor very gracefully gave us some baby gift. We certainly are very thankful. How do we show our appreciation? What would be appropriate in American culture to do to pay back to them? Send some flowers? Food, cake,etc? Your advice would be greatly valued.

I'm 15, and I've been in love before, back, last year, when I was only 14, and I believe that we can fall in love, but it's not destined to last nb. I'm not religious, so, no offense, but please don't give any answers stating that it's all "God's plan". I do, however, believe in fate and psychic power and astrology...

Maybe this sounds childish...


It probably is. But I'm a little gunshy when it comes to these sorts of things, and I don't believe the guy should always make the first move.

Basically, I like this guy and he likes me. There's very little chance of rejection here, but I want a more creative way to ask him out. I'm a pretty outgoing person, and I'm willing to be daring.

What do y'all think of eye-contact for a prolonged period longer than oh say 2-3 seconds. I <3 it when there is an insane chemistry and you can just feel the sparks. You just get lost deep into their eyes and it feels like y'all are the only two people on earth in that moment. Anyone ever experience this and what do y'all think?? I <3 the eyes and I think they are so beautiful and you can tell so much about a person by their eyes. You can see honesty, deceit, kindness, hatred, love, etc......

That is just craziness. He doesnt tell me he loves me, and tells me he never told his wife he just divorced he loved her. Does he have head problems or what?

I married my husband 4 years ago because we just had a son. Pretty much it was pressure from my family that made us get married. I stalled the wedding for 2 hours because I knew I did not love him, and really didnt want to get married to him. I couldnt tell him because my family talked me into going through the marriage, promissing it was just wedding jitters.

It has been 4 years now, things have gotten pretty bad. We argue all the time, he doesnt say he loves me ever. We never celebrate our aniversarys, and the holidays are hell getting him to go with me to my family get togeathers.

The reason I do not leave is I want to wait until my children are older, and they can understand. But its gotten to the point that i'm ready to move on with my life. I know that I do not love him ,and never did. We are not compatible at all, and frankly hes a asshole, and i'm fedup with all of it.

what should I do?

Men out there, get rid of those old tighty whitey underwear. This is a turnoff. I'd rather see a man in no underwear than the old man white underwear.
