When should a parent stop making there child close his/her eyes during a sex in a movie? Why that age? If applicable, when did you're parents stop forcing you?

Thanks very much.

I have 2 kids ...a 8 year old daughter and an almost 6 month old son and after i had my 2nd child, i now have a pouch and would not dream of wearing a bikini until i work out and it is gone. tankini yes but not a bikini...Why do the fat people at the beach wear a bikini...sometimes even a white one...do they not care about the way they look? I'm 5'7, 140 pounds and until i get rid of the pouch, it's not right for me to wear a bikini

I have asked questions about my stepson, who came to live with us in late May, before. My son who is 10 is not adjusting well. He really resents having to share with my stepson. I mean sharing me, his sister, his grandma, his cousins, not just material things. My son was not jelous like this when I had my daughter, so i feel it is just the idea of having an older brother come in. My stepson is still lying and stealing, and my son doesn't feel my husband gets onto my stepson hard enough. He thinks that my husband favors his own son. The lastest jelousy is because my stepson is staying with people during the day at a horse ranch, getting to ride horses and such, and my son goes to the babysitter with my daughter. The babysitter did not have room for my stepson, and the arrangement we made was the only option we had . Still it seems unfair to my son because he sees it as my stepson has been misbehaving and is getting rewarded. How do we help with the jelousy?

I am a 36 year old real estate salesperson, and soccer mom. My husband and I have a very active sex life, and he hates pantyhose, but loves me in a garter belt and stockings. When the kids were younger, I stayed at home, and took care of them, then dressed up in stockings and a garter belt when my husband came home.

A couple of years ago, when she was about 10, my oldest daughter started wearing pantyhose. I didn't think much about it because some of her friends did to. Last year she took noticed that I would change a garter belt in the evening, and ask why. I told her that it wasn't healthy to wear pantyhose all day.

Now when cleaning her room I noticed one of my old garterbelts with stockings still attached under her bed. I always unhook them, so I know she was wearing them.

What do I say, she has obviously figured out I wear them for my husband, and is probably trying to inpress someone too. I am at a loss as how to approach the situation. Am I overeacting?

I have a friend who dated this girl at school since he was 15.

He got married a few months after high school at 19, and then had a baby with his wife when he was 20.

He is 23 years old now and is MISERABLE.

He has no college education so he works at a sporting good store while his wife stays home with their child.

He says he feels he has messed up and his life will never be how he wanted it.

Even though he was a teen he should have seen the warning flags:

His girlfriend was threatening to leave him if he didn’t marry her right away!

And then she demanded to have a kid immediately after the wedding.

No one hangs out with him anymore because he and his wife are always fighting and seem unhappy.

I think teens can wait longer if they REALLY love each other. What’s with these teen girls demanding a marriage and children?

What do you think?

Over the years with each of my two other children I went the route of 100% cotton training pants when it came time to get them out of diapers, and into big pants so to speak. Is there any other mothers that have used, or still use the old style of cotton waffle knit baby soakers for toilet training?

My boyfriend is German and 'funny' about certain things.... especially about telling people that I have kids from a previous relationship... my girls are 8 and 10 years old... they are very sweet, and often wonder why they can't go with me and him places... I know he is afraid to tell his parents that he is serious with a girl who has kids, is divorced, etc... now he has ME scared to tell them too.... (just met them last night, and they are VERY friendly... !!) But I know German's are more uptight then Americans, esp about the 'proper' or 'right' way to do things.... so I am just wondering... obviously at some point the truth must be told... that I am divorced, with kids, etc.... I do want to be married (to him!) and have more children.... he is 34, and I am also.... we have been together over a year now... so my question is, is it NORMAL to not tell the parents that the person has kids? And at what point DO you tell... and isn't it more uncomfortable to 'come clean' later?

3.In 1974 the cutback in oil production by the OPEC cartel created shortages of oil in the world market. In the United States price controls prevented oil prices and thus gasoline prices from rising to world market levels. In Europe and Canada oil and gasoline prices rose to world market levels. In the United States lines of cars formed at service stations, while there were no lines in Canada. Why?

Geeze... it seems like parents are always complaining that they're exhausted, they have no time to themselves, that parenting is a thankless job, that everything is sooooo expensive etc.-- in that case, why have kids, if they make it out to be so horrible?

I plan to have children, but I won't make these kids feel guilty for being born... "Oh, you cost me so much... I have no life of my own anymore, blah blah blah..." I will be grateful that I can have kids!

My son is almost 3. He didn't really have anybody to play with except his 2 cousins which are both girls. They are both mean to him. They won't let him touch their toys and they leave him out. They always yell at him and he started to not play with them anymore. He now hides behind me and clings on to my shirt. I always step in and tell my nieces to share and be nice. I was thinking maybe I needed to let him handle his own fights before actually stepping in. I let this happen for a while and I guess my son got tired of it and now he hits them. I introduce him to this other little boy who is really aggressive but my son won't even give him a chance. He'll hit him too. I know that boy will hit my boy back too so I'm careful because he is so bad. My son hits just about anybody new to him. I can't get him to socialize with others now. Everytime I try, he wants me to sit there with him the whole time. How do i get him to socialize and play with others without relying on me to sit ther w/ hi
