Get my parents to see me as an adult at 18 yrs old?My parents have always been extrmely over protective never letting me do anything in high school and middle school. I was babysat up until my freshmen year in highschool. I was never really bad and i never failed classes but since my parents were never around i never had a social life out of the classroom. When my mom came home junior year of highschool i made two attempts too see friends and both ended in my mom giving them and there parents the 3rd degree and humiliating me! Senior year was better i was allowed to go to homecoming where i met my first bf. We started going out and my parents had to now every detail of the relationship. I fell in love with him but my parents were really strick i rebeled and had sex with him that cased a mess and my grades dropped from stress at school home and the relationship. It is my first year of college now and i am still being treated like child and am starting to hate my parents!

our baby sleeps for 4-5 hours at a stretch and therefore in a 24 hour cycle, my wife can feed her only 4-6 times....is this the reason why my kid's weight is less as instructed by the doc??? and our baby does not get up and we have to try for atleast 45-60 minutes before she is wide awake...or else she may take the breast and just sleep on it!!! how do i make my baby grow in weight given our problem??? right now she is being breast fed totally.

I recently found this website gamequarium for preschool kids and it has games that my 3 1/2 year old can play on his own, he is using the mouse and this is new to us and I am so proud of his coordination, do any parents know of any other online games for toddlers like this? Examples in that website: he drags 3 different sized apples from the tree in to the correct bag (small, med, large) It is amazing that he is interested in this and actually doing it himself at such a young age!!!!!!! I appreciate your help!

I am 7 weeks and very light blood appeared after using the bathroom and wiping. I just had sex this morning and before today I didn't notice ANY spotting whatsoever. Is this attributed to sex or am I having a miscarriage. I had one miscarriage before 4 years ago. This is my second pregnancy.

My niece came over today for awhile to play with my son. She is 7, he is 5. I found them playing "doctor" in his room, when I asked what they were doing she started freaking out and begging me not to tell her Grandma (she lives between her mom and her grandma because her mom is a skank and doesnt really take good care of her). She started saying it was my son who "made me do it". I know this is a lie because she has done things in the past that seemed overly sexual for a child to do. I think she has picked things up from her mother, My son told me she makes him play it in the car when grandma babysits them both. I am worried about her because she knows too much for being so little and I am afraid she will continue to do sexual things, something I feel could cause endless problems for her as she grows. Grandma cant control her and her mom doesnt care. Should I just keep my son away from her and tell her grandma/mom and hope they finally do something? I dont suspect she is being abused.

My nephew is three years old and loves the Littlest Touch LeapPad. He has a little brother, and I know sharing is sometimes hard for them. He has just started Preschool and doing great. I was looking at LeapPads for Christmas for him and got the LeapPad Plus Writing. Amazon has some bad reviews on it. I was wondering what people on here thought. I have removed the pencil and noticed it still works, which I think would be better for him.

i'm nine weeks pregnant with twins. I have had two separate occasions where I was spotting. Both time I went to the dr and after a u/s he said things look ok except one baby doesn't appear to be growing like the other one is. He said this could be normal or it could be a potential prob still to early to tell. I started spotting again this morning. I called the er and they said to stay in bed until I can see the dr on Tuesday. I've not had any cramping or unusual aches any of the times that I spotted including this time. Should I be worried or should I just try and relax. I am 24 and while this was not a planned pregnancy I'm terrified that something is going to happen to one of my babies. I've been trying to take it easy but the worrying is driving me crazy!!! Any suggestions of what could be going on or what I can do to get through this time without going crazy? I'd appreciate any helpful answers!! Thanks!

He has refused to take medication since he was a baby, we have had to force it for the most part. I need other options. I need to know if any other parent/s have had success getting a child who absoulutly detest medication to take it fast and painlessly. Thanks in advance.

I have been a fully custodial step mother for about a year now to kids ages 10-20. I’ve noticed that I’m expected to endure all kinds of atrocious behaviors from the step children. Their parents divorced 8 years ago/ 3 years before I met their father. I’ve never met his mother. She speaks no English and lives in another country. I’m told by my society that I have all of the responsibilities of a mother but none of the power or respect (you are never to discipline them in any way and just know that they will probably treat you badly for a long time). They even at ages as old as 18 can be disrespectful to me, lie to me, steal from me, incite arguments between me and their Dad, ignore me…the list could go on for pages. What am I to do about being treated this way? I’m told to keep an open mind and an open heart. I’m told that they are “just hurting” or that I should “keep trying to win their respect”. I’m told this by talk show hosts, by some friends and by 70% of ppl here. Why is this?

I know that smoking is a really really hard addiction to get over. I was the smart few in this world not to get addicted to that horrible toxin. But my husband is a smoker and it never really bothered me until we got pregnate, I'm 12 weeks now and everytime I smell his pack of smokes, his breath or even the smell of it on his clothes I get physically sick. Some say it's morning sickness, it's not, My husband smokes outside and he tries to brush his teeth afterwards. I'm afraid that it's not helping any more, it's to the point where I don't even want to sit next to him on the couch anymore cause he stinks that bad afterwards. I've brought this to his attention before and he gets all wierd, he sulks and goes to bed and tries to make me feel bad. I've tried everything, I've bought him the patch, bought him zyban, and I've stood by him going cold turkey... i don't want our child to know that their dad is a smoker and grow up to be one too?? any suggestions???

I've noticed that a lot of people are really all about how the parent should not try to "control" the child. I once asked if I should consider swatting the rear end of a 10 yr old that was coughing for 2 days and plagued with body aches for refusing to take medicine. For that I was called a "horrible person" and other hostile remarks. I've been told that asking a child to apologize is "pulling a power trip". Each generation seems to be turning out more slackers, more whiners, more instant gratifications types, more dishonesty and less hard workers than the next since the BB generation. Then swearing at your parents got U a spay of whoop-azz and parents were EXPECTED to execute control and direction over their kids. Many parenting styles changed in the 70s and 80s. If this works why is it that in the areas of personal responsibility, work ethics, honesty, ability to delay gratification and work hard for a goal, etc. Gen X and Gen Y are to the Baby Boomers as a Yugo is to a Mercedes?
