Parenting - June 2006

I have 3 kids. 2 girls age 12 and 7.One boy age 10. They all have chores, but my 12 year old complains all the time, that she has to much to do. I do more than everyone else. We are the only kids that have chores. My 12 year old has to do the dishes, keep her things picked up, and her room to be cleaned. But she wants her little sister to put up the silverware, and her brother to rinse the dishes and sweep the floor. So, I would like to know what chores my kids should be response for.

Does anyone know why they hurt others and don't sow any sadness at their pain? Why they seem to enjoy making animals and humans bleed and be in pain? I'm not criwicizing, I know they have problems, I just want to understand better. I have a friend with such a child.

Everyone tells me she should do it. Is it a bad choice for her. She seems interested. If so how do we start? Any ideas would be great.

i had my hip replaced 2wks ago, surgery went wrong and i will now be non weight bareing for at least 3-6months. if i dont look after this joint and it fails i will lose my leg. my husband left after he had an afair in november 05 (after 19yrs of marrage) so i am now a single single parent, i have a teen son who wont speak to me since his dad left and has moved out also. i have a 22mth toddler and it is totally physically imposible to look after an active toddler on your own when on crutches... i have no family, no friends that dont have their own famlies to look after who could help long term, my ex doens want to help and now social services want to put my baby into foster care for the next rew months...
i just feel i will die without him, i am able to care, have my facutlies, i can cuddle him feed him and nurture him i just can physically run about after him... is there any alternitive? there must be a way of us staying together?

my daughter is 2 and a half yrs old and she is still putting anything and everything she can in her mouth! cryans, markers, books, paper, baby wipes, flash cards, chalk, toys, stones and pieces of wood, etc.! Ive slapped her hands, tooken the things away from her, yelled at her, but she just keeps doing it, even does it after ive told her to stop, like she'll be sitting or laying with me and she'll have a book and she'll start chewing on it, so i'll pull it away and tell her to keep it out of her mouth, and then she puts it back in her mouth and looks at me like she's gonna do it rather i tell her no or not! I don't want to put hot sauce or anything that will harm her on the stuff, and besides i really dont think that will even help! what can i do? i almost feel like calling her dr and seeing if they can test her for lead poisoning or something!

Well most people say that,fathers are better because they treat you more independent, but thats what men say. Some women think so to.Now here's what some men and most women say. That mothers are the best because your father walks out on you,or aboandonds you.But most people think fathers are better because they're more safistacated,and mothers just worry about the small things,like if you bathe. So what do you people think because men and women are different in every kinda way. So all im asking is who's better at parenting?And im not trying to be sexist,I just want your opinion on this question.

My neighbor's son plays with my son all the time and they both get along and all of that until today. Me and my husband were going to take our son to his mama's to go swimming in their pool well you know how lil kids tells everything....(my son is 4) and he told that boy he was going swimming well that boy thought he could go and his own mom wanted him to go (I don't even know her all that well)

So we all said we are not going swimming to make him go on home. His mom came and asked and we said no we are not going swimming. My son's mama said i don't want other peoples kids up here cause if something happens it will be pinned on her or us. When we came back home that mother said well did you all have fun swimming and got all mad. See her son is having a b-day party thursday (today) at a Public pool (be closed to party though) and she said well i dont think i will have it and that was her way of saying not to come. When i went to unlock the door there was a paper that things was drawn

My husband says that it is money and security, even if that means working 2 jobs and slacking on time spent. I say a good education and time, even if that means prioritizing differently so that you may have to do without the newest material posessions so that you can pay for their schooling and not work 2 jobs but spend a lot of time with them. Which of us do you think is right, I am specifically interested in what your parents chose and what you think of your childhood. I want my kids to have a good childhood and a good future.
