How do you teach a 5 yr old to sleep in his own bed??
I've made the mistake of letting my 5 yr old sleep with us since he was born....I realize my stupid mistake now, so spare me the "I told you so's". We have bought him a twin bed and can't get him to sleep in it all night. I have to go in and wait for him to go to sleep, then sneak out to my own bed. He wakes up inevitably at some point in the night and cries for me, at which I have to go back in there and start all over. Not getting much sleep. Help? Anyone else go thru this? Any advice would be appreciated.

My dad is leaving NJ and going to FL for 4 days. I only live with him. I guess I mentioned it to my mom (they're divorced) and she called up my guidance counselor at school. I'm perfectly fine with it and my mom knew this, so I don't understand why she would go behind my back and do that... but... my guidance counselor said she "had" to call DYFS even though I told her my neighbor's (who have a clear view of my house/driveway/everything) would be watching me and basically stalking and my grandma would be coming by almost daily. DYFS called my dad and said they "wouldn't reccomend it" but they couldn't do anything. My dad still mentioned "if DYFS comes by..." I want to know- is it legal?

I have a 15 yo and we have had problems with him in the past for Marijuana, but today he was arrested at school for PI and was high as a kite on Xanax. This was probably the worst experience of my life - he was passed out it the drunk tank and he didn't even seem to know us. He was actin like he was drunk, and it was really scay. I just lost it. I am scared to death and don't know what to do. I don't want him to end up dead, but I don't know where to turn. I hear this is the new "cool" thing that kids are doing. He needs help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I appreciate any input

Ok i have read so many questions on abortions, and everyone keeps saying adoption is always a second choice instead of aborting. How many ppl were given up for adoption here? Do feel unjust b/c your parent gave you up? What about children that were put up for adoption b/c the mother was raped or sexually abused, how many of you were told by your birth mother that is what happened? How did you feel? I know this is a series of questions and i'm about to add comments. I feel that some mother don't want to put their children up for adoption, for the reason b/c they don't want their children coming and finding them 18 years later and saying why. why did you do this to me? and you have kids and are happy with your family and the one you gave up is here and demanding answers? how would you feel about that? would you tell your child the truth.. that you were raped and society was making it bad for getting an abortion.. just wondering b/c this bothers me that ppl keep thinking its murder to put

I have a potential child that the mother is claiming it is not mine. I feel it is since we went thru the ovulation testing and the doctor confirmed she was pregnant last May 2006. My attorney is having a court ordered DNA test of she and the baby, as well as myself. Can she committ fraud or falsify documents or are they carefully screened. I can't seem to get a consistent answer.

I know according to California's disability laws, that a woman is allowed up to 4 weeks before the birth of her baby and 6 weeks after. My question is, what if the baby comes late, say a week or two?
Does she get paid benefits in this time too, or does she go this extra amount without benefits?

My son is 8, I am 36, my husband is 39. Up until now we have all said no more babies. Over the years this has been revisited with more or less the same answer until now. My son would like a sibling. I think he should have a sibling. His dad doesn't want more kids. How important is having a sibling to you? What is the age difference between you and your sibling? How is the relationship?

I'm possibly going to watch some kids while I'm home with my own. The ages vary but all are under one year. All are part-time. Is $8 a hour sound fair to you? Or should I be charging more? I don't want to get into it and have a tough time and regret giving parents such a break.

I have two kids who are quite picky when it comes to eating...they like bread, rice, apples, and the usual picky eater fare. One of my kids really loves baked beans...based on all the stuff that she refuses to touch i find this interesting!! Usually she bases her idea on what is good on how it looks...baked beans just aren't that pretty. So, what does your picky child eat that surprises you??

I signed the aknowledgement of paternity and then was told I wasn't the father, but the mother is taking me to court for child support and I petitioned for the aknowledgement of paternity to be rescinded. Our court date is regarding both petitions I believe.
