I'm 16 years old and I have never met my father but I finally tracked him down and his mother said that he just got married and he didn't want to speak to me because he never told his new wife that he had kids. What up with that?

Me & my fiance have been together for almost 3 years...living together for the last 2 years and engaged for the last year. He has two boys 18 & 20 yrs old and I have a 9 yr old girl. At one point both of his boys had moved out on their own...but almost 4 wks ago the oldest moved back home. I am pulling my hair out. He stays out all night, sleeps all day, and MAYBE looks for a J-O-B once per week. He has put in a few applications at a few places and his sorry excuse for not calling and following up on the applications is that he "doesn't know the phone numbers". Hello...have we not heard of a phone book/internet. I love my fiance to death. Things were great before his boy moved back home. I can not handle this laziness much longer. I am ready to pull my hair out...any ideas ????? He sleeps all day, eats all of our food, and runs up our electric bill..that's about the most productive thing he has done in the last month.

school uniforms???
In the school district of my home area they want to make it mandatory form Pre-K all the way to High school, of course the young people form High school are against this they don't want to wear uniforms. I personally think it is okay that in a way to be mandatory, but for high school, should be optional ..... What do you as a perent or student think???

I'm 24 and married to the man of my dreams. We've been married for a year and a half and recently found out that we would be having twins! I really had mixed feelings about this, i'm so excited to be a mom for the first time, and it couldn't make me happier to do it twice. but i've heard some horrible stories about twins, behavoir issues and things. anyone have any advice. How do i nurture their independence but keep them together at the same time?

when they come into your home and determine if it is a fit place for a child? How do they determine if it is? Has this happened to you and if so what exactly did they do?

i bought assessment books for my child hoping to let him slowly complete them but he always sits down n insist in finishing all and when i tried to get him to relax n play, he refused! This has been going on each time i buy books for him. Is this unhealthy or causing my child unwanted stress? He always begs me to buy him books n when i got him toys, he seems uninterested:( What should i do? I want him to go slow n enjoy his childhood!

Her baby is over a year old and sometimes will pull her shirt down with her whole breast exposed. I'm pro breastfeeding and think it's wonderful to breastfeed your children, but in front of other men? What do you think?

Hes been potty trained for about a year and half now, never had accidents at anytime, potty trained really fast too. I just cant make the move into trying to get him out of his nighttime nappy and was wondering if anyone can give me some tips on maybe how they did it with their kiddies, or how someone they know did it. Any help will be VERY appreciated.
Thanks in advance :-)

I mean, they could be clowning you for your hairstyle or your smell or whatever. Do you make fun of them when they are purchasing formula and bottles to feed their babies? Are they "lesser" than you and your spawn in your eyes?

Please explain this. I challenge you to provide FACTUAL links and credible sources and material. I CHALLENGE you. Otherwise, I and the rest of the Yahoo! Answers users that frequent the baby and parenting sector will have assurance that YOU are indeed full of more hot air than an Iraqi desert in August. Please, prove me wrong...but before you do, consider this...

My baby daughter (recently breastfed for only 6 months, now exclusively on formula) crawls to me as soon as I step out of the shower and plants slobbery kisses all over my wet legs and feet. She whines until I cradle her. Then she speaks to me in "our language" which we invented when she was only a few months old consisting of breathy vowels and repetetive "oooh, and babooo and ah-woooo" and even a ma-maaaa-wooo wooo-maaaaa maa" here and there. My husband and her have a similar bond, just different, and she LOVES how he feeds her and plays with her. Hmmm, your feedback to refute this is welcome. Coward.

IF THIS IS TRUE>>>
I agree with her. There are plenty of people to report from war-torn areas. No need for her to risk making her kids orphans. They already lost their father. I think her decision makes her look good...she is no "glory hound".

Has anyone checked that section of this site yet???? It's scary to think that my child could be looking on here. I'm glad I checked it out first. At least myspace is more secure....I can controle how much he reads.

I have a friend who is signing her 5 year old up for a "Cheer Camp" and she would like me to sign my daughter up for it too. I just am not a big fan of cheerleading, especially for little girls. As long as they wear those little outfits, I don't see them as a legitimate sport, and it seems to sexualize girls and women in a non-affirming way.
On the other hand, I have a lot of friends who don't have a problem with it..... I would just rather my daughters be into sports, academics, drama or band.....
What are your views on the topic?
