I have full custody of both of my daughters. My oldest daughters dad is on the birth certificate, but when we divorced I received full-custody over her. He is on paper only allowed supervised visitations. I worry that if I die he will recieve custody (he was just released from prison a couple months ago (he did a little more than six years). My question: since I have full cutody can I give my brother half of the custody? This way if anything happened to me I would know she was being well taken care of? Thanks.

The question is "should her family be doing something about this" and trying to get her help or should they now refuse to give her more money. She is young and stupid, but at the rate she is going, the children will be taken off her.

I can tell, and she does this to everyone even her husband. I have a 2 yr old and she asked what he wanted for his birthday and other ocassions and she gets something that just takes up space. My son likes Thomas the train, but they insist on buying Bob the builder since my father in law is a general contractor. My son never plays with it, he just gets excitied because he sees a box, he wants me to open it and then it's something he doesn't like. I've got a house full off toys from them he never uses. Can I donate toys to a place where children can actually play with them, that are opened? What do I do about my mother in law ignoring us when she asks us how our day was, or just questions in general?

Everyone has been raving about how effective teething tablets are for their babies, but I have heard that some pediatricians say they cause dizziness and halucinations in babies?? Could this be? Just because they are all natural doesn't always mean good for the body. Are they approved by the FDA?

I'm thinking about getting it, but I'm not sure 'cause of the consequences that can come with it. If you had the shot and aren't referring to a friend, are you still on it? Why or why not are/ aren't you still on the shot?
