Parents or babysitters, I am a teenage babysitter wondering what a perfect amount is to charge for babysitting? Do parents care if I set a rate, or do they really want to set the amount?

Let me break down what I gather. You seem to have disaaociated yourself from reality and life, and have decided to live vicariously through a being that you "created", (God complex) meshed with perhaps a longing of a life long pas you with opportunities long past you because you were young, dumb, and full of...well, we all know the rest. Does any one who is 20 or younger really have ANYTHING, ANYTHING of substance to offer a child these days? I'm not talking about the good old farming days of old, I mean the here and now. The cold cruel world we are releasing kids into. Did you do it just cause "babies are cute"?? Did you not realize babies are small human beings with thier own conscience and soul, and free will...and will grow up to be whatever, and whoever they want to be. Sadly, they may even grow to hate you no matter what love you pour on them. Did you think it through? Really, did you? Please explain "My life is my kids to me". It's strangely moronic to me and will not compute.

Every soldier tells me they hate how fat and disgusting their wife is. The pictures prove it. Why are they all so fat? Is it from having 6 kids in 4 years? Why twinkines? Why not carrot sticks? Why can't they get a job of their own to support the family since your average E-1 through E-5 doesn't make sufficient funds to save up to finance a college education for 6 kids and pay the bills. Why are these women so lazy?

I get up at 5am every morning, get myself and my baby ready then take her to daycare then go to work until 4pm. By the time I get home its about 430 or later. I am starting to have trouble dealing with this. I am always exhausted and feel overwhelmed. Any advice how to deal with this? I dont want to have to be away from my daughter anymore than I have too so having someone watch her in the evening is not an option.

I feel that everyone should have to take a parenting class before they can graduate because just about everybody in the world will be parents some day. There are a ton of teen pregnancies and the teens will need to know how to take care of the baby. It is sad but I know a 13 yr old that already has 2 little kids. I don't understand how a 13 yr old can handle taking care of a child.

Why are kids not taught to be fully independant... ie the only way to protect a daughter should be to teach her how to fight from say age 4 so by the time she is in high school she can take out any threat and protect class mates, likewise experiense in swimming, fieldcraft, first aid etc...


Thats real protection. Likewise putting a teenager on the pill from when first interested in guys and other pre -emptive action...


it seems the intention is not to protect but control.

Kids should be taught with the intention of them travelling the world age 18 and being able to handle themselves and spot trouble alone.

That means starting early

I have a home day care, I used to work outside the home and decided to stay home for my son and help out other parents at the same time. If you were on maternity leave would you put your first child in day care for 10 hours a day while you stayed home with the new baby? One of the parents of the kids I watch does this and it's driving me crazy!!!! He's the first one here when I open my door in the morning, I mean they are standing at the door when I open it, and he's the last one picked up, walkin in the door at 5:29 when I close at 5:30! I know they pay for the services I provide and they want to keep him on his schedule, but this is ridiculous in my opinion. I could understand if she was at home all day or recovering from a difficult delivery, but she's not and it's been almost 2 months, the mom is not even at home all the time, she's out shopping, going to movies, whatever and she's not taking advantage of the limited time she has off from work to spend with her child!

You are taking your girl/boyfriend out on a nice dinner date, and people have their whiny bad assed kids up in there acting a plum fool and you can't even eat in peace? Are there any upscale restaurants that ban kids? Why don't you idiot parents whoop their asses? Your kids are bad as hell.

My daughter is 16 yrs old. She asked if she could move out with a friend and I said no, of course. She is not responsible or mature enough to handle the real world. She could barely get herself to school and work. One night, just over 2 wks ago, after not getting her own way, she decided not to come home. Until just a few days ago we had no idea where she was. We found out she's living with this 20 yr old loser. She said, "you know how I feel about him". Yeah I know just how you feel...days before that she had a hickie from some other dude and spent hours on the phone with him...but she LOVES this one *rolls eyes*. She says she's staying with him and apparently there's nothing we can do since the age of consent is 14! This dude is controlling and apparently not mature enough to get a girl his own age. He's lied to me and I can't stand her being with him. She lies too. So.. Just let her ruin her life? She ran away before for 5 days. Her Dad brought her home and she said never again. :(

I let my six year old play out with her friends outside our house for a couple of hours after school they are supervised by either myself or one of the other parents, but i have an absolute nightmare getting her to come in, i belieive that at her age on a school night she should be in bed no later than 8pm (usually 7:30) but my neighbour allows her children (aged 5&3) to stay out untill around 10pm. So of course my daughter thinks im some kind of monster who doesnt love her because im not as kind, i want to explain to her that i do love her and im doing it in her best interest but without putting my neighbour down, im really at my wits end yesterday she even said she wanted to live next door i have tried not letting her go out as punishment but its no good
any suggestions? sorry about the long winded question!
