My son and his ex-girlfriend have a 20 month old son together. They do not live together but share joint custody of the child. When mom has the boy she dresses him in all top notch designer clothing such as Nautica,Polo,& ect. When my son has is son, he dresses him in clothing that is purchased at Wal-mart, Target, clothing in which he feels is satisfactory and affordable for him. The other day when she picked up her son, she made a comment to the father to "quit dressing our son like a dork" . In my personal opinion and my son's opinion he is only 20 months old and growing fast, and at this point he does not need all these expensive clothes. What do the rest of you think, I think she is pretty anial and uppity about clothing for her child.

I have a toddler now 3 years old . We live about 10 mins from his grandparents house . They have a swimming pool and refuse to put up a fence in fact there was a fence up and they removed it when my son was one and half years old . Since then I will not allow my son to go over to their house untill there is a barrier around the pool . The grandparents would rather not see their grandson than put up a fence . My son cries because the older grand kids can go over and play but he can not . They tell me that I'm being rediculous and I just have a phobia and my sons life is not in danger . Am I wrong or should there be a fence around the pool ? I would appreciate any feedback on the subject .

I have a 6 month old girl and my sister has a 2 month old girl. This is her first child, this is my second. Every time I turn around, she's calling me to ask what my daughter was doing at 1-2 months old. I can barely remember some minute details she inquires about (for example: when did she bear weight when help upright), so I just give her a roundabout answer. She feels her baby is "advanced" and so forth, and tells me her child is "already standing up" at 2 months", as if to brag. LOL! OK, I'm like, good for you hun. It's so trivial to me. She accuses me of overfeeding my daughter, because she's 6 months and weighs 21.5 lbs. She tells me I gave birth to a baby "whale" and I need to put her on skim milk (WTF?). All jokingly, but so smug at the same time, so it eats at me after a while. I didn't diet when I was pregnant like she did, so I had an 8.8 oz.child, instead of one barely 7 lbs.,and still having trouble gaining substantial weight. I'm tired of her mocking my baby. What to do?

My situation is that I love my child. She is almost 2 and I try to protect her as much as I can. I am a working mom and my husband is a stay at home dad. I love her so much that she is all I think about. I worry about so much that can happen when I'm not around. Her father is a very good father. He takes good care of her but being a mother, you feel that you can do alot better. I think I want to home school her when the time comes but my husband says we should let her go to school to socialize with other kids. I just worry what if someone tries to push, hit, pick on her. I think I would go nuts if I ever found out anyone hurt my child. I sometimes leave her at my sisters house while we are preparing our new home for her but my mind is on her. I know she is in good hands and is having a great time with her cousins but she is still my baby and always will be. How can I learn to relax and not worry so much??

I know a woman who left her 3 month old daughter to join the Army and go to Germany. The child was adopted and raised by it's grandmother and great-grandmother. The birth mother hated the child after she returned from overseas and saw that the girl had grown to know her grandmother as mommy and her great-grandmother as grandma. Now the girl is a grown woman, and the birth mother makes no attempt still to have a relationship with her daughter, and tells other family members "she doesn't want to have anything to do with her" and "I'm not her mother". Should the adoption excuse this behavior? Or, should the woman have tried to have a relationship with her daughter regardless since it was an open, family adoption? Should a mother say she hates her child to other family members? What could such behavior denote about the parent?

I have 2 small children and dont want them to grow up and become addicts. I have watched so many good parents watch their good kids get hooked on drugs, crack.. pot.. heroin... and other. It ruins their lives. I mean good in a general way. Normal run of the mill parents and kids. I dont do drugs and never have, but i dont know why i didnt, i just didnt. How can i instill in my children that drugs are very harmful... I would like answers from everyone, but especially teens that have been faced with the pressure to do drugs and why did you or didnt you do it??? PLEASE HONEST ANSWERS
