Family - August 2006

Just curious. My ex husband is in prison and I won't take our daughter to see him. I did it once during his first time in prison and that was a big mistake. He went back for a second time and I refused to subject our child to that again. He thinks that I am so wrong for this but I think that he is so wrong for not being a law abiding citizen who works hard and tries to set a good example for our daughter. She is 11, bright, funny, caring, loving...a sweetie pie. He won't be free again before she's an adult. I hate that she is having to grow up without a father but I don't see how taking her to the prison is going to help her. What are your thoughts on this?

I have a three year old son that will not stay in his room and go to sleep. I have tried everything! He will come out of his room 8-9 times before falling asleep. Do you think that putting a gate up to keep him in his room to go to sleep at night is child neglect?

This time I feel very confuse because there is a company has offer me to joint with them because they will pay me higher than my company now. But I'll be placed at another city, far away from my home. If I'm not thinking about my parents, especially my mother of course I'll take this opportunity. I'm affraid once I go, I never could back anymore.
This company is bigger than my company where I work for now. But I've no friend at that other city. Even I don't know how the work situation. However I still can't make a decision what should I do?
Is it better for me to take this chance?

My husband is a mechanical engineer and we're Asians. He was offered work in the US and the UK, and we're finding it hard to choose one between the two. We have two school-going kids, too. What would you suggest?

My sister enjoys playing with Barbies, watching baby T.V. shows (the ones for REALLY little kids - filled with singing and other babyish things like "Let's turn off the lights so we can dance with our shadows!"). This sounds completely normal for a kid of 6 or 7, right? But my sister is going into grade 7 and she'll be turning 12 in a few weeks. Somebody please tell me this isn't normal.

Other than the dolls and the T.V. shows, she's pretty much like every other 12 year old girl. It just kills me inside to hear her yelling the names of various shapes along with the hosts of her favourite show at the moment, "Hi-5."

I can't be the only person who finds this creepy. I've talked to my mom about it and she isn't too bothered by it, and I really want a second opinion. Someone please tell me this isn't normal behaviour for a 12 year old girl! Any help would be much appreciated.

I have a 21 year old son, who was into pot and drinking? He is turning himself around. He is a follower. I have a 9 year old daughter who is a neat freak, very responsible and education orientated and a computer geek. She is an independant person. My son doesn't know anything about computers. They are like, night and day. How can 2 children raised with the same values and rules, be so different. The only major difference in raising them is, I was married with my son, now I am a single mother raising my daughter alone. So according to what you read, it would seem my son was at the advantage having a 2 parent home.

I feel useless. I really have no clue how to make things better. He is so angry. I have to be so careful what I say. I think he is angry at me for still having my mum. Has anyone gone through this or is anyone a great friend-because I don't think I am any good at this. I am now pregnant and need his support too and thats difficult when he is grieving.....

I need to know if i did right by my son. Sunday I called police on him and reported that he was out of control, yelling, screaming, cursing, and threatening to hit me. It all started when i asked him to move home. He had been staying at his aunt's house for a week after he got mad and left when he broke a rule at my home. He is 16 and he walked thru the living room in nothing but his boxer shorts. I have told him not to do this because i have 2 step daughters that could be visiting and he needs to show some courtesy. also i asked him to pay 2 late movie rental fees that he had rented on my card and didnt pay. and he has been disobeying my rules and smoking pot and i'm not sure what else. i told him his only option was to move home and now. he said nope he was doing what he wanted and started to walk off. I tried to spank him (he's 16 and has only gotten 1 spanking in his life) he called me a b%^&* and said f you to me. i called cops and said he was out of control.

for example, when i was about 8, I had one of those giant balloons
that was attached to a rubber band and you can hold the rubber band, and punch it in place (kind of like a paddle ball) well, one day
I decided that my little sister was going to take my toys no more;
i walked up to her, tapped her on the shoulder, she spun around and I went "BAM BAM BAM!" right in her face! I also used to tell her that she was adopted and the proof was that she had blond hair(we're all brunettets) she actually believed me and i was once
again banished to my room for felt like was eternity. I also convivced her one day that dog food tasted like peanut butter and she should eat it, and one time, I convinced her to try eating poopy
that she just made in the toilet...I spent alotta time grounded needless to say, any other funnt stories?

My thirty first B-day is comming up next month. I have never had a B-day party in my life. Not even as a child! But know I'm a wife and mom. Do you think it's selfish of me to want to have a big party for myself? To want to have just one special day for me? Please help!
