Parenting - June 2006

How many times do you take your kids out to mcdonalds, the park, roller-skating, swimming, etc??? I have an 8 yr old daughter and i feel like i have to take her out everyday to have fun. She is perfectly fine at home sometimes, I think it is just me!!! What do people do at home with their kids???

My daughters are 1 and 2 and I put them in the tub with me. It is much more convenient. I could give them their baths then take mine but I know I'd come out of the bathroom and my apartment would be destroyed. Their dad will also put them in the shower when he gets off work in the morning. Most of the time, it's because he's the one that fed them breakfast and they got messy. Other times it's only because He wanted to help me out. Is there a certian age that kids should no longer take baths with their parents?

start locking doors to room to keep kids from seeing you/wife naked while you shower and get dressed? Oldest child is 6....

I mean, why do people who spend 4 or even 8 years in school studying children think that they know more about children then the people who have first hand knowledge of raising a child? I had someone here tell myself and a lot of other parents that our answers were wrong and she knew this because she studied child psychology and education, yet had no children of her own? Wouldn't you think that experience and an open mind would be the better educator then sitting in a classroom?

Either way you choose why? Do you live that way now or would you like too?

Wherever we are - grocery store, park, library, YMCA, strip club, church - she always gets away from me and begins taking off all her clothes. We were at the zoo once and she fed them to the goats. I am worried that she might be doing drugs and having unprotected sex with yuppies. Do you think family counselling would be a good idea?

I was thinking I could be an online/ telephone parenting coach. Would you be interested in using this type of service? What would you expect to pay for this service? (With 1/2 hour sessions 1 time per week for a contracted amount of time.)

It seems people who have major problems with goverment assistane are the SAME people who PROMOTE PRO LIFE views. Seems so double standared to me. Saying it's okay for a teen to not have a abortion : IN FACT SHE BETTER NOT KILL that baby! THEN yelling because she's not working? How can a 15 year old, not have a abortion and ALSO provide all the childs needs? What's the answer 4 a single mom, keep a unwanted pregnancy please pro life, get assistance and Pisss everyone off! This only applys to those who are ANTI assistance and Pro life EXPLAIN your logic to me.

Why is it that there are all these teenage girls that go out and mess around, get pregnant, then sit on welfare? I get so tired of this. My fiance works his @$$ off so we can manage. It sickens me that the more he works, the more they take out to support someone else's kids. He works overtime so we can get ahead, not so they can take more out to support some girls kids. Why is it our fault that these women couldnt keep their legs closed?We have 2 kids of our own to support. I could go out and get a job but it would be pointless. I'd pay more for daycare than I would make because we have 2 babies in diapers. Why can't they just let people choose to pay taxes on welfare. I'd have no problem with getting taxed for welfare if it just went to elderly people.Some of these people getting state assistance have never even worked a day in their pathetic lives. Welfare really needs some reforming, don't you think?

My daughter's father and I just recently split up. I'm just wondering what are the differences between sole custody with one parent having visitation and joint custody where one parent gets the same amount of visitation or time with the child? Also can the parent seeking custody get a state lawyer or only the one being taken to court? My daughter will be 3 in September. I have been the main provider for her. Her father only took care of her while I worked but had no job for 21 months out of the 30 months we were together. He has no place of his own and I'm in my own place, working full time, and going to college. Is there a better chance that I can get sole custody rather than joint because of this?

My 3 year old daughter is very jealous of her 7 month old sister. She can be mean to her at times, even physical. Did anyone have this problem and how did you remedy it?

Which sports are the best for kids? What other activities - dance? musical instruments? Scouts? There are so many choices for camps and after-school activites that you can overschedule your kids. Parents please tell us which activities you think are best to raise a happy, healthy, well-rounded kid.
