Today my teacher called my mom and told her I have a 76 GPA. When my dad finds out, he is going to flip out at me. When he yells at me, it's really scary and I start to cry, and then he yells at me to stop crying, and I don't want any of it to happen. Is there anything I can do?

My father does not understand English so whenever he receives letter, my sister and I will take care of it. Recently my father filed unemployment claim, my sister and I help him to answer the questions that the unemployment agency ask. Today, he receives a letter from them. When I was about to tell him what the letter is saying, he says something like you can't do anything right, if I need you to take care of me, it is better that I take care of myself than you take care of me and you are useless. People might say that he is just annoy that he is unemployed but he always says those things. Also, he always said that I am not always right and you are all welcome to say what you think. But when we say something that is against his thoughts, he will say something like you are wrong. No one can defy him.

Refer to previous ? if confused. So what all of you guys are saying is that if my son was in an accredited daycare I could be upset if they took off a week, but since it's my mom (even though I pay her and provide my sons meals) I shouldn't be upset. I live in a small town with few daycares and my husband and I work 50 + miles from home so short of putting him in a daycare which my mom rants I shouldn't do I don't have a whole lot of daycare choices, but her.

My 17 year old son is very rude and obnoxious on good days but lately he's taken to telling me to p*ss off, b*gger off, f*ck off and shut the f*ck up and also calls me nob end or bell end. He is jealous of his younger brother and calls him reet (short for retard) and is openly hostile and intimidating saying that he is a freak because he has red hair. He wont allow me and my son to smile or enjoy ourselves and always brings us down when we are out as a family. I am not allowed to take his picture on special occaisions, he just eats here, never helps out, lives like a pig. I am living in fear of my son now...I know he wont hurt me but I fear that every time I see him we will fight. He spends all his time in his room, has no job, dropped out of school, college and has only kept down 2 jobs for a total of 5 days. We have always stood up for him and defended his bad behaviour but it looks like they knew what we were blind to...he is horrible to live with and it is very depressing for us!!

And how did you deal with it? I'm 27 and have found over the past few years that it's impossible to communicate and understand my parents, as hard as I try to be respectful and not take things too personal. I live 2000 miles away from home and my mom has said I'm the one that left and they haven't changed at all. I see her point, but that doesn't make it easier to share my feelngs. Thanks for your suggestions!

going? He was in prison for 9 months back in 2002 and when he came home he found a job and was doing great! But then he fell back in with "old" friends and old habits so he ended up quitting his job and then got rehired, then they fired him so he collected unemployment for the whole summer. Then he hooks up w/ an old GF who is 18 and they were together all the time- well she moved to MN to go to college and he got another job here but it barely paid him enough to pay bills so he quit and was moving up to MN to see what life could offer him there and it didn't offer *%#! so he came home but everything just seems to go wrong for him and he never gets any breaks! And it just puts me so down in the dumps all I do is cry & then get angry at him and cry some more! Any suggestions to get him on the right track??Or how I can stop getting so depressed because of the situation?

I don't mean to be or sound offensive to women but I want to know why the legal system and society in a whole seem to believe that the mothers are the childs best interst in custody situations? I know there alot of good women out there but there are indeed alot of good fathers out there too! So what makes a woman superior in the child raising sector?

I understand that alot of women are good mothers but I have seen cases where the mothers were as unfit as unfit could be but they get custody regardless. Or how about when a father takes his ex to Court for Custody and the first thing they want to know from the father is where do you work and how much do you make or how big is your home. But these are never questions I have heard them ask a mother. She can be jobless and never had a job and live solely on welfare and it doesn't raise a eyebrow from anyone but a father fighting for Custody better have a dang good job and a dang good Attorney? What makes them superior with the children?

I have a great opportunity to move to Texas. My parents recently moved there and are willing to buy me my own house there and pay for me to finish college. I currently live in Ca in a rented apt and on my own I won't be buying a house anytime in this life time.

I have a 2 yr old daughter and her Dad is not really involved in her life. We live about 100 miles apart and they talk a couple of times a month on the phone with really limited visitation . He has paid very little child support in the almost 3 yrs she's been alive and just overall is a user and an idiot. The whole reason we broke up was cause he couldn't keep his hands to himself. An I kicked him out the house with the clothes on his back. The cars and the Apt were in my name.

I mentioned the idea of moving and he said I can move anwhere I want but my daughter stays with him. He can't take care of himself- he lives with his Grandma. Can he force me to leave her if I move to take advantage of these great opportunities?

For the first part of the 20th century, oprhanages were prevalent in the United States and foster care was unheard of. Today, foster care seems to be the norm, but I don't think it is any better than an oprhanage, in fact, I would argue that it is worse. The cases of abuse in a foster family is rising, many foster parents are only in ito for the money and do not really care about the child, and children are often bounced around multiple times from family to family. This is very damaging to a child emotionally. Atlhough orphanages to not offer a mother and father figure, they would have caring adults in their lives. They would also be in a more stable environment, where they could stay for a longer period of time. As long as caring and stable individuals are found to be in charge of the oprhanage, and proper facilities are used, I think it would be a much better situation for oprhaned or homeless children.

My 12 year old son's father has promised to take my son hunting for the past 2 years, but his promises have been empty ones. I've told him if he waits around for his dad to take him then he'll never go hunting. (you have to know my ex....) So, my boyfriend asked my son to go after getting camo gear for Christmas. He's been twice w/my boyfriend and my son absolutely loved it!! My son never told his dad he went and has just found out about it. He called my boyfriend and griped him out for being disrespectful that it is a father-son thing he was going to do w/him and told him never to take my son hunting again. Instead of being excited for him, he made my son feel bad about going. I told my son that no one can tell him not to go and if the next time he asks him to go....would he do it and my son said yes. Do you think it was wrong for me to let him go w/my boyfriend? Was it wrong him his dad to be so angry about it?

About 4 months ago my mom started keeping my son who will be 3 next week. She volunteered, I did not go to her, so I took him out of the horrible daycare he was in. Well I am due in March with my second child, so I have to come in late some days due to Dr. appts, & I can't take time off other than that. My mom informed me last month that my father & her are taking a cruise Feb 26-March 2 & I need to find someone to keep my son that week. The dc doesn't want to keep a child for just one week or if they do it's for more than I can afford. The one option I had failed because she is due with her baby in Feb. I feel like my mom has put me in a bind, because of this cruise.She made a commitment to me and my family and now I am left trying to find suitable daycare for my son. If the cruise was at the end of March it would ba a little more feesible because I would be on maternity leave.(My dad won the cruise through work & they can't change the date of it.)
