Nothing seems to be going my way lately. I have cried myself to sleep four nights in a row. My parents are not understanding that I am 16 and need freedom! They wont give me that and they always yell at me for doing nothing. Also this guy who says he really likes me wont make a move or anything!! Its so annoying I just need some advice.

2 years ago, My X and I separated and he kicked me outta the house. I left my children there, ONLY because I had no place to go....... After a year the divorce went through and he got custody of 4 outta 5 kids, I got my oldest son. Well, now I am a stable person. Have a house, etc. I want my kids back and am currently going to court. BUT, now I am scared because everyone is telling me the judge isn't going to let me have my kids because I left them and can't prove that their Dad is no good????? I live in AZ! I am their MOther, is there anyway to get past having to prove he is a piece of ****?

My 18 month old baby girl who is very healthy has suddenly developed a problem ( the past 2 hours). She seems to have lost her balance. When she walks she is struggling. We have checked her feet and legs there seems to be no bruises indicating that she could have been hurt. She is still so jovial & full of life, no fever or anything to indicate she is sick. We have massaged her feet &d legs & she enjoyed it. My husband thinks it could have been that needle & pins sensation that was causing but for two hours. Any advise will be appreciated. A friend thought it could be meningitis but I looked up the symptoms & she has nothing. She is just struggling to walk. We have taken her slippers off. Has this happened to any of your kids. I have 4 children & this is the first time I have experienced something like this & it is driving me insane not knowing what it is. I tried calling her doctor but to no avail. It would have to be first thing in the morning. I am in South Africa.

My friend's children do that to her all the time. I feel sorry for her, she always looks like she's about to cry.

My son is 2 1/2 years old and for the past month or so he has been having a lot of behavior issues that are hard to deal with. I feel as though I have tried everything. He almost never listens to me when I tell him to do things, such as "stop hurting the kitty" ,"don't hit your sister", "get out of the refridgerator" and so on. He hits and bites is 18 month old sister and screams if she takes something from him or has something that he wants. Sometimes and hits and kicks my husband and I when we try to dress him, pick him up or even hug him.

I have tried giving him more attention and spending time alone with him. I have tried sitting down with him and looking him in the eye and explaining to him that what he is going is not appropriot and that he needs to stop (telling him why as well). I have tried giving him short time outs taking toys (or whatever is causing the problem) away from the situation. I don't know what else I can do since none of this helps.

My brother is a big man 250Lbs, 6'4". When he scolds his child, he does it very physically. He rarely hits the child, but he does a lot of grabbing and jerking and pushing the child down. I'm afraid one day that he'll really hurt his child. How can I talk with him about it and not make a family feud over it? We've tried to approach him before, but he normally nips it in the bud and changes the subject with a tone that suggests he doesn't want to get into that subject.

Isn't is funny when you look back to high school?

You got up in the morning, spent time getting your hair "just right" and putting on makeup... then you had to pick out what pair of name brand jeans you were going to wear for the day.... then the shirt (AND IT HAD TO MATCH PERFECTLY!) Then you put on your (in my case) $150 pair of shoes and mosey on off to school...

Now 23 yaers old and 2 kids later, I don't get a darn what brand of jeans I'm wearing (but they DO have to be clean) or what brand of shoes (mine are from walmart) and my hair goes straight into a ponytail so I don't have to worry about it... Makeup's only for special occasions and my idea of "fun" is working in the yard!

Isn't it funny how just 6 or 7 short years can completely change who you thought you were??? .... What's funnier still is... I wouldn't go back! I love my life! =)

The child will lack the company of a brother/sister.. I think a couple should have minimum 2 children. What is your opinion?

I had the business for 11 years. When I realized that she was stealing the first time, she begged me to give her another chance and she would pay it back. She did okay for awhile and then started it back up and the corp. that held my franchise said I would have to sell, let them take over, or file charges and prosecute. I sold the business. Lost $160,000+ Now she feels she is not to blame because I knew she was doing it and as the owner/manager I should have stopped it and done what I needed to do to save my business.

my grand- daughter has been kept away from her dads family, because of issues between her mother and my son. when confronting my ex-daughter-in-law with this, she always blames my son or me. isnt it time she woke up to what she is doing to my grand-daughter.? she is being so selfish to gain, what she thinks are pay- backs.

Which do you think provides the best care, stay at home moms or working moms? Why? Does one affect or benefit the child more than the other?

at my job i find a lot of people let their kids run wild and do not control them. as i have no kids myself and i am not a parent how do you ask someone to control their kids without offending them? i am not just hating children, these are kids that are loud and obnoxious and the parents don't seem to notice or care... i am frustrated because i don't know what to say to these people but it is business not a daycare!
