My son, who is now 1, is 8 weeks pre-mature. He is just finally for the 1st time sitting up from a laying position. He still doesn't pull himself up to stand. I am curious how well other premies are doing.

This afternoon I came out of our local clinic and noticed that the car beside my van was running. Inside the car was a baby still in a rear facing carseat. I hit my stopwatch and after a minuet and a half I wrote down the make and moddle of the car along with the plates. I went in and told a receptionist who came out with me. After 5 min. no parent showed up. The receptionist took the baby in. I don't know how long it took someone to notice their child was gone but I hope he/she never see her again.

This girl charges way too much, sits in front of the tv and eats my food all day. I found someone else who can watch the kids for much less and she's more responsible. How should I tell this girl I don't need her anymore, but in a nice way? I hate making phone calls like this, lol.

Example... You child brings home 3 A's on thier report card, so you take them to Sea World.....or.....Your kid brings home 3 F's on thier report card, so you go to Sea World without them.
It doesn't have to be because of grades, it could be anything, behavior, attitude, chores, etc....
I'm running out of good rewards/punishments for my kids, they are 7,9,11 &13.
Thanks for your help.

I havent worked in 2 years and I am totally ready to work again....my son is 9 months and i am also 21 weeks pregnant again. I would love to stay at home with my son but our finances just wont allow it now. I have no friends or family where I live...they all live 1300 miles away so i have to put my son in a home daycare. I start Wednesday and I thought I would be ok with it but now I'm gettin really nervous and feeling really guilty that Im going to be working full time and only spending part time with my son....plus i feel bad that I have to pay someone to take my son all day that prolly dont really care to have him there. What kind of experiences do you have with this and what did you do to cope with the guilt and worry???

I love my friend, and I really like to spend time with her. We talk about everything, and do everything together. However, her young son's behavior is so out of control. What is even more alarming is that when he throws a fit and they get into a fight, she gives in or buys him whatever he wants. She will go over the top with threatening him with a spanking or some other empty promise (which I think she only does because I am there). It is embarassing to be in public or at a restraunt and be the group that is making everyone else uncomfortable. The other problem is that I have a child too, but she is still a baby. I am afraid that eventually I will have to cut all ties with my friend because I do not want my child to be around a child with this explosive (and sometimes violent) behavior, and see that he gets away with it. I don't want to be in a position where she gets in trouble and he gets away with the very same thing.

I just don't get it. I don't understand why parents allow their kids to date at such a young age. What happend to not allowing a child to date until they are 16. I wasn't allowed to date until I was 16. And I will not allow my kids to date or do group outings until they are 16. Or do anything by them selves until they are 16 for that matter. I don't care what it is. Parents need to be real strict in this day & age. Remember we are their parents not their friends.

It's unfortunate how some people who may have been poor as kids and grew up to be sucessful feel they should give their kids lots of material things but neglect to give them what is most important: love, discipline, guidance, praise, moral and spiritual instuction, and personal time. Often these kids wind up becoming spoiled brats who can't make it in the real world and can't show love or compassion to others. I feel that gifts from the parent should always teach the child in turn to be unselfish and giving. Therefore it's better to limit the number of presents they give to their kids. The REAL gifts parents give their kids are what I mentioned so many fail to give.

My mother took a job at a college that costs 30k+ to attend because one of the benefits is that her children get to attend for free. She has been working there for over 5 years and I just started last year (I am almost 24) I have been in the pre-med program because I want to get into dental school. But lately, I have decided that as much as I want to be a dentist, I do not want to be in school for that long. My fiance is almost 30 and we just want to start our lives. Anyways, I have been looking into Dental hygiene school because they make good money, I love dentistry, and it is a 2 year program. However, the school I attend now does not have that program. I would have to transfer schools and if I did that then there goes all my moms hard work. The last time I even mentioned the slightest hint that I did not want to become a doctor they got pretty pissed. How do I tell them that I have made different decisions? And have them actually support me on this?
