My 9 year old was adaddy's girl until my divorce. The divorce was final 1 yr today. She tells her mom that she does not want to see me. So my ex wont make her. So Theor therapists both said that My ex needs to make her whether she wants to or not. we. were seperated for 6 months and during that time my daughter would kick and scream not to go with me. It brok my heart. So I went along with us not seeing each other. until she didn't call me on fathers day. I begain to be proactive. I don't want to be the bad guy , but I miss my daughter and she needs me. I hope I'm doing the right thing.

I have a 3yr old daughter and a 4month old son. My boyfriend (the father of my kids) also has a 5yr old daughter. We have full custody of her, and she has no contact with her mother. But she irritates the hell out of me!! What can I do? I can't stand her. If someone can seriously talk to me about this please email me!!

My husband’s mother is unstable in so many ways, my husband thinks if we died she would try to take our children and be their “mommy.”

We both agreed if anything happened to us, my mother and father would take our children as they are decent parents and have agreed to the arrangement.

My husband’s father is dead, and his parents were divorced and his mother has not remarried due to her many issues.

I want to get a will that has our selection of guardians in case we should die before our children become adults. My husband wants one for this reason and also because we do own property and have a decent savings going.

We have no children now, but should I get this done as soon as I give birth?

Who has one? I want to protect our future children from a grandmother who was a horrible mother to her only son.

We've tried putting a onesy on him to keep his hands out of the diaper, but he still manages to get them in there and then he pees the bed.

I am super happy with my married life. My husband and I have been together for 5 years and married for a year and a half. We plan to get pregnant next year.

I don't want to be a wife that neglects her husband when her child is born. I want to have a baby and establish a routine so we both feel more comfortable with a new baby in the house.

After that I want to spend one night a week alone so we can do things alone. And I want a set time everyday when we can spend quality time together without a baby.

Someone told me a selfish mother would do this, but I love my husband and after our children and raised and have moved away I still want to be married, so its important to me to make sure we find ways to bond and remain close.

I still want to be husband and wife and not just mom and dad. That to me is the most important thing in a family, its what keeps a family together!

How do you find ways to focus on your spouse and remain a happy couple?

I found out that i was pregnant when i was 13 weeks which was too far gone in my eyes to have an abortion. i don't think i could have gone through with it any ways but now i am scared about bringing up a child. my mum is supporting me by looking after the baby while i go back to college but i feel that i wont be able to bond with the baby. do you think it will be hard bringing up a child with just my mum as help?

I am a mother of an 8 year old daughter and a 5 month old son who are extremely healthy, hardly sick!!!! I never breastfed as to me, it does not look right..it's not natural!!! my boobs are my boobs and not for kids to suck on..every one who i have seen who breastfeds has saggy boobs..they are big until your milk stops and then you are left with some nasty boobs... i get complimented on my boobs all the time when people see i have 2 kids. they are not droppy and very high up, where they are suppose to be. My friends kids are constantly sick and she breastfed all 3 so it's bullcrap when they say that it helps them not get sick. I, also hate it when i see an over 1 year old being breastfed ,that is just digusting and i have gone up to the mothers when i have seen that. and the husbands who watch would rather be on the boob, trust me...my husband has told me that and plenty others have told me as well. Does anybody else agree with me on th this?

I kind of don't blame my neice for her behavior after the life her mother has put her through. But it needs to stop!!!!! this poor little child has just started her life " only 3" and she has already been through things that no little child should have to go through! Some pretty bad things that I don't need to mention. but i am sure you can take a hint!!!!! but anyway any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!! I really need some help with this.

Thank you

Ok I posted in an earlier question about my neice living with me and her mother being in jail. anyway my neice "Emma" is just being horrible, she is only 3 and she has tantrums and just screams at me when she wants something, she will not ask for what she wants or needs. I stay positive with her and loving and very routine and strict. when she acts like I will put her in her room for timeout until she stops and asks nicely. but what else can I do to stop this? It is very disturbing for my other 5 children. Also at night I think Emma is having some kind of night terrors or something she will wake up a little but still seem like she is half asleep and start screaming that she wants something like "chocolate milk" etc.......at 4 A.M. and it actually scares me, I don't know what to do. I will of course give her a drink of water but not chocolate milk. I will ask her if she needs to go the potty but she just still keeps screaming. PLEASE HELP. should I take her to the Doctor????
