As a single mother I am constantly baffled by the number of young men and those who are supposedly more mature who are not involved in their kids lives. Most mothers would prefer that you spend constructive and nurturing time with the kids than give them the tiny sum the court awards. Most men get so upset with what they think the mother is doing with the money that they forget it is possible to take care of your kids from the start to avoid the anger that child support brings. Buy your kids clothes and personal items yourself and you won't need to worry about where your money goes because the receipt is in your pocket. I'm also tired of the lame argument that you didn't ask to be a father. You made that decision yourself when you laid down with no protection. Just because you were both irresponsible then don't make the child pay for it

My little girl is quite the tom boy. she swears and worst of all SPITS constantly. she did not get this at home, but probably picked it up at the kindergarden and i was warned by her kindergarden teacher that she has a very dirty mouth and that she is constantly picking at the kids, she even spit on her!!! i was most embarrassed by this but to tell you the truth, not as surprised and she does it to me all the time. i am a single mother and it is HARD right now, especially with there being 2 more children in the house. she is my youngest(4 years old), i also have a 5 year old boy and 9 year old twins. but she is the only one causing me such trouble. lately she's been getting hard spankings for spitting on myself and her siblings (its the only way to reason with her and the only thing thats worked) but 2 days removed i see i will have to use the wooden spoon on her again. she desperately needs a father to whoop her a** and show her discipline, but that isnt an option right now...

I am part of a Moms Club and we are going to try and get some groups going within the club. I am looking for catchy cute names. Example: Cooking club is "Let's Get Cooking". I need a name for the following:
Book Club
Discussion group
Exercise/walking group (walking with strollers)
Scrap booking

Please remember this is for a SAH mom's club so clean suggestions.

Serious answers only. 10 Pts to the person with the most chosen names for the groups. Also if you have suggestions for other groups/activities that I might be able to introduce as a reoccurring event (we already do MOMS Night Out).

Thanks in advance!

They seem to think they have permission to touch everything, do anything, that interests them despite having been told numerous times:
Don't
walk in flower bed
color on tv screen
ride toy fire truck in street
poke stick in sisters eye
come out of bathroom without washing hands
sit on wall
pull on cord, etc. etc.

Looking for a way to get each of them (five, ages 2 -- 8 to think first, then DON'T DO IT.

We haven't been able to anticipate everything they seem to come up with.

They are precious and loveable, and we enjoy them dearly MOST OF THE TIME. But they're curiousity? is getting more dangerous as they get older and bolder.

Help, they are with us for 5 more days.

My daughter is 5 years old. For about 4 months or more she has been very different to us ( more me her mom) She was a very outgoing, love everyone kind of kid but for some reason she is not like that to much anymore. She needs lots of attention. She does not listen, won't cooperate, shouting at family and friends, tells storys, won't sleep, fear of being alone.
Today she had a friend over and I could hear her friend say stop it, stop it I went to her room and she was on her friend with a blanket over her not letting her up. I asked why she did it and she said it was fun. I asked if she thought her friend thought so and she said no. I then asked why she did it if she didn't think her friend would like it and she said I don't know.
We have days where she is great. She is very thoughtful with our family. She is funny and loves everyone. She really is a good girl when we have good days. She has a big heart and I know she does get hurt easy.
I don't her to have no friends HELP!

She drops the babies, won't change them, leaves then alone at night and alone in the car, and I don't want to hurt her but they are not safe, not sure what to do. She says she is not sure who the fathers are but I think I know at least two of them. They were actually customers of mine at one time.

The Virgin Mary gave birth and there was no sex. Was the Virgin Mary a virgin?

2006-06-14 16:06:00 · 28 answers · asked by Rosemary B 1

When I come home from work, instead of her showing me she's happy she backs away from me, asking for attention this way.
If I try and change her shorts, she throws herself on the floor so dramatically and starts to cry. If I give her soemthing to eat that she doesnt want, she cries like theirs no tommorrow. Etc Etc.
I feel the only way she'll let me nurture her or get involved is if I feel sorry for her.
She gets attention and no one has passed away and no big changes. I'm just tired of going thru a big dramatic scene just because I try and give her 5 quick kisses on her ear.
Any advice?

Just wondering how soon is too soon for a child to understand a time-out.

He broke his arm and it was a rare humerus break that required surgery. How long after the cast comes off should he be o.k. to go to an amusement park? We have plans to go next week because we didn't consider stiffness or tenderness of his arm after the cast is off. Will he be o.k. if I prevent him from going on rides that will bump him around?

She moved out last weekend and said she was living "stress free and happy". I am so disappointed. I have never met the guy. I feel like she has lost her mind. She is not on birth control and this guy is already paying support for 1 child. Do I just drop it and hope she will get some sense. I want her to get educated and get a job. I cannot figure out where her craziness comes from. I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions. I am worried she will make me a grandma and I will be paying for her babies.
