She is just interested in watching too much of tv in her free time. Its very tough to motivate her. She has been bit of a slow learner all her life due to a childhood disease, which is now cured. But she gets demotivated very soon and does not have too many friends also. How does one keep her motivation levels up. She also needs very firm handling, otherwise just takes it too easy all the time. I am a working mother and quite worried about her behaviour. Any suggestions? My younger daughter is very independent and any comparison with her or her peer group also makes her very defiant.

My kids are taught to not talk back to adults, to be polite and respect other people. My sisters kids are the total opposite. My sister says she knows her kids are brats and she can't make them mind. Tonight her 4 year old was cussing and I told her that my kids do not need to hear that kind of talk and if she continued to do it we would leave. She went on to say no you won't and I don't care. At the same time her 3 yr old sister had a sharpened pencil waving it all over and as we tried to get it from her she stabbed my mom in the stomach. At that point I snatched it from her hand and smacked her hand and told her that was dangerous. Her 4 year old sister started back talking me some more so I took her into the other room where her mom was and sat her in a chair. She still was mouthy. I told her the kids would not come to play with her next time. Her mom said nothing and was on the computer. We packed up and left. My sister said after the fact that I was a little harsh she's only 4

umm is it normal for your brother to like be desperate about girls? cuz hes 19 and hes really immature. Sometimes it seems like he hangs out with kids wayyy younger than him like my age(13). and its weird. hes reallly immature and he thinks he sooo cool with all this stuff my parents get for him. and he dosent appreciate any of it. he has like 2 cars that are gettting paint jobs and two mopeds annd hes going ot special classes for baseball and sstuff. he gets alot and he acts liek he dosent have anything. But when hes with his firends he brags soo much .and me and him have the same phone and he still says his is better, talk about immature!like today we were in the car and he didnt stop arguing with me on how my phone is gay and reatrded and i cant do anything. hes the one that teaches me. i was likee noooo. and i got himm soo mad he hit me in the jaw! but if i tell my mom she'll be like ohh stop it you two! i dont ever think hes gunna move on with his life.

What would you do if someone in your family took her 3 yr. old to a nightclub for a punk rock concert. I have nothing against punk but I don't think it is a place for a 3 year old. And also wouldn't social services get involved if they knew about it?

Well, my cousin and i are pretty close. shes 2 years younger than me, and im 13, and shes 11. so ,her mom gives her NO discipline what-so-ever. she gets away with way too much, always talking back and yelling. the weird part is, i dunno why she looks up to me so much because i REALLY get on to her sometimes. like, one time she dropped her bouncy ball and this old man picked it up for her. she just snatched it up and said nothing. i was like "say thank you!!" and she got red. and i told the old man thanks. so, basically, what im trying to say is, shes inconsiderate for her age and somewhat immature because she hasnt been disciplined. she is a sweet girl, with and big heart, but she just doesnt get it. anyway, it seems like she gets all the attention. everytime i go to my grandmas house, my grandma babys her, and just says hi to me, solemly. i am SO nice to my grandma, and zoe never says a word to her! why is this? im not jealous, by the way. i USED to be, but that was like, 4 years ago!

My mom is really annoying. She must think i'm pretty annoying too, cuz i'm 14 and the teen years are supposedly the hardest to parent.
why? well...
1. she exaggerates everything! like if it's 12:25 she'll yell at me that it's one oclock already. it drives me nuts
2. she nags!!!! big time. like, i know my own schedule, i can manage my own time. all that nagging is seriously giving me grey hairs already
3. she complains about me. "oh, brandie. pick up those socks! now! or you're grounded for tomorrow! WHY do i always have to do it for you??? you're 14! do it yourself!!!" and i try not to heavily sigh, and pick up the socks
4. she tells me about her martyrdom EVERY SINGLE DAY. "oh, dear god. i'm so tired...i bought those expensive shoes for you the other day. and i never buy myself expensive shoes. woe betide me"
she drives me crazy!!! and i'm not a bad kid- i do well in school, i do chores, i do NOT get an allowance, i'm generally a good kid.

what can i do to make her chill out?

I know that he's old enough to handle himself, but being his older sister I feel worried, he looks at it all the time, and he'll often be up late at night looking at it. (I know because I can hear it, my hearing gets heightened at nighttime when I'm tired) and i'm getting worried, is it normal for men to look at this kinda thing this often? Sorry if this is a stupid cliche question but I'm worried, I've seen on Oprah how men get addicted to this kinda thing.

I'm 14 and I need to talk to my mom about something but don't know how to talk to her. I've never been able to talk to her about anything, I've tried to improve my relationship with her, but it just doesn't work. Here's the basics, I'm trying to rebuild a relationship with my father who I haven't seen in nearly a decade. I'm not mad at him, I've talked to him over the phone for the past few months, and the situation is complicated, but yeah. I asked him if I could see him sometime and he said that was all right with him. I told him I would talk to my mom to make sure it's okay. I don't know how to talk to her about this, but I really do need her permission to see him. What is history for her is, in a sense, a future for me. My father isn't a bad person, he is fine now, and he loves me and I'm sure of that. Please, any help is greatly appreciated.

He used to have gambling problems and went undiagnosed for bipolar- so he probably was very depressed at times and went into mania at others, but now he is on medication which seems to be working well.

Thank you for all of your answers thus so far..Just one more thing, I'm not sure how to get over my fear of talking to her. My fear isn't really that she'll say no, I know how to stand my own ground in a polite, respectful way, but just getting the nerve up to talk to her is hard for me. I've always had trouble with this.

I'm not going behind my mom's back. She knows I've been talking to him, believe me, I wouldn't do that.

To clarify things up a bit, there is nothing between them any more, nothing at all, they don't like or dislike each other, it's just neutral. I understand my mom has the right to put up a defense about this, and I understand she may have mixed feelings. I don't think they got divorced because she didn't love him anymore, it was becasue he was unable to take care of me, and she knew he wasn't a good father for me, and I love her deeply for that. But i still have a broken relationship with her. She has like 0 patience and I"m just so confused!
