After my husband locked him in the closet he told me (the kid) that he has been getting the same treatment since he was seven. I didn't believe him, cussed him out and told my husband... then realized it was true and divorced my husband, pressing charges. The only problem is, my son ran away, and all the police are willnig to do is file a police report because he's 17. I've called all his favorite places and done just about everything I can. I've even gone neighberhood searching. Where should I START?

We have tried everything--rewards, all positive reinforcement techniques and still he refuses. He asks for his underwear and says he is going to go hide when he has to go. His doctor's appointment isn't until 2/3 so I have to wait until then to talk to him about it. If anyone can help I am open to all advice! THANKS!

This is what Bush said-

We also need to examine ways to mobilize talented American civilians to deploy overseas, where they can help build democratic institutions in communities and nations recovering from war and tyranny.

This to me, sounds like a draft. What do you think????

How do you discipline an 18 month old child that is by no means naughty just a typically curios, cheaky boy. Obviously he is too young to understand the concept of the naughty step and with all the hoo ha about smacking. With all the toys he has it's amazing he'd rather pull at the curtains etc...

My step kids were diagnosed ADHD this week. I thought I was going crazy and that my feelings were unwarrented because they are "just kids". Now it seems that I am frusterated, and anxious for a reason. Those kids are UNCONTROLLABLE! Medically! So... I need a list of stress reducers or things I can do to relax when I'm being asked 20 questions a minute. Please help.

I have been hoping to get preg. I woke up this morning and had some bleeding and mild cramps. The thing is Im not suppose to get my period for another week 1/2. The blood is not like my usual period very light colored and not a lot. Could it be possible its implantation bleeding and also how long after implantation could one take a HPT for an accurate answer? Thanks! Keeping fingers crossed...

Is this the plug or possibly some remaining semen from two nights ago. I can't imagine that though because that would be alot of semen! Any Ideas?

I've been suffering w/ severe constipation for years now, ever since I started having gallbladder issues in late 1999 (I eventually had to have my gb removed in 2004). Anyway, I'm now currently 8 months pregnant (almost there) but miserable. If I thought the constipation was severe before, now that I'm prego it's like 50 times worse!! I asked my doc about it during my last visit but she told me there was nothing she could prescribe. She told me that taking Benefiber was ok and if that didn't help (which it didn't) to try Colace. She told me it was safe to take everyday. I'm gonna try that this weekend but would really like to see if I can find a website that will give me a meal plan on what to eat for my current condition. Does anybody know a good website that's specifically for pregnant women who suffer from severe constipation? P.S. I drink lots and lots of water daily too - about 112 ounces a day & I walk on the treadmill about 3 to 4 times a week for 20-30 minutes. Thanks

I'm 15, for 2 years I've hardly taked with my parents. That time I messed up, did some bad stuff like drinking and coming home late. Bad crowds. I ended up getting a harsh punishment and my dad even spanked me. I was wrong but they couldn't do that, they didn't act like parents, so I stopped loving them and nothing has changed so far. Today I don't do stupid things, have a good head, I'm an excellent student, even take part in volunteering activities. They tried to make up w/ me and even say they are proud of me, but I have my principles and refused. Now they are getting really exasperated, can1't acept this situation. So far they haven't taken revenges on me, though I'm cold and avoid them, they diodn't take anything away, I have the same life I'd have if my reçlationship with them was good. And this is fair, cause I don't get in troubles and don't do anything wrong. But I'm afraid they can decide to make my life miserable to force me to change. This would be a real revenge.

I'm so confused!! I'm on cycle day #27..brown and pink spotting started on day #23 and stopped yesterday. My cycles are between 30-33 days long..how soon would you guys suggest taking a pregnancy test? Did anyone else experience this? I know if I'm pregnant its implantation bleeding, but I thought it usually occured when you expect your period, not before that?! And..why did it last for 3 days if it was implantation bleeding? Please help!!

My stepchild is 7, and she is out of control and recently diagnosed with ADHD. Nothing works at school or at home to get her to behave because she sees every consequence as an opportunity to goof off, create chaos, and get one on one attention from adults and peers. Every time I give her a new "punishment" for doing the "wrong" thing... she finds something to enjoy about the "punishment", and I have to brainstorm about what else I could take away.... make her do.... that will keep the unwanted behavior from happening. If she enjoys the "punishment", it won't deter the unwanted behavior, and I will have extended an enormous ammount of MY OWN energy for nothing, and the unwanted behavior will continue.

Can anyone please help me with ideas for consequences?

I juust moved here from fL. I do not have a job yet. I think I may be pregnant. I live with the (maybe) baby's father. I am very very very sick. If I continue to feel this sick with this pregnancy I will not be able to work. I am wondering if I will be eligable for medicaid. The problem is that the baby's father makes too much money (but doesn't have any of it because he is paying back taxes and child support). Is eligability based just on my (non existent) income since we are not married?
