I still dont understand what drives people to chose to have so many children. I have a friend that is going on her 4th, and will probably continue after that. The thing is they are not in such a great financial situation at all. I dont think they even have medical benefits secure. Its not just accidents that happen and they get pregnant. Her and her husband chose to continue. I only have 1 and possibly may have another as long as I am financially ok.
I really dont understand this way of thinking at all. Is there a psycological explanation behind why some people chose to have such a large family without having the means to accomadate so many? To make matters worse she is one of those moms that take her kids to a public place or to someones home and lets them go wild and never disciplines them for lack of respect for others and will curse someone out for telling her kids to control themselves. I am just curious if there is some type of personality explanation for people like this?

this past week my son (he is 5) began waking up around 10pm. He calls out "Mommy" but when I go up there, he doesn't seem to know I am there. He is shaking and rubbing his eyes and sometime mumbling gibberish. Twice he tried to play with his hot wheels cars. When I try to hold him, he pulls away. His eyes are open yet he doesn't seem to realize what is going on. This has happened 6 out of 8 nights. Can anyone help?

I am interested in home day cares, but it scares me that my lil 1 year old will be running around barely walking amongst others who havent mastered the walking skill while a care provider must rush to the restroom. How do they do it? Do most watch tv all day and just igonore the kids?? Or is it cheaper and more attention for the kids?

In detail what is it like? What are the fears, thoughts, feelings that come to you when the one you had intercourse with is pregnant, and when that child is born into the world?

i have seen in a lot of posts that respond to spanking, that people think there are so many kids involved in crimes, drugs, etc. because the government is getting more strict about what constitutes child abuse..

if this is true then why do countries like Sweden (that completely ban spanking or hitting children in any way) have far lower crime rates (percentage wise) than America?

Who else thinks that child support laws should fall under federal juristiction?..My point it that I know several women who have deadbead dads who just move around and cross state boundaries to evade paying child support every time they are found..more over one state will NOT persue over state lines of another even when the payee has given ORS the deadbeat's address, phone numbers and work places..JUST one of these women is owed in excess of 75K..36K of that is 30 miles south of her in the same state and ORS just farts around and does little to nothing..they find him, he moves two doors down and they make yet MORE excuses ...Who else thinks once they are found, before they disapear, they should be arrested on the spot for evasion?..Or at least served a summons BEFORE they are notified by ORS

Are you against it?
Are you for it?
Are you not sure?
Maybe a little bit of both?

Explain your answer if possible.

I'm a "wanna be stay at home mom"....I work only a few nights a month and am home 75% of the month. I, or my husband, meal plan and make homemade meals at least 5 or 6 nights a week. I frequently bake breakfasts too. I'm just wondering how common this is? I hear people at work joke about what they feed their kids for dinner...usually a bowl a cereal. In this busy day and age, how common is it that families have cooked meals at home. Stay at home moms or not.

This is a nightclub night more like a rave that has no age limit as does not sell alcohol (or didn't may have some systemnow to keep away from kids as far as I no id does not)


Was set up origonally by parents who used to be ravers who still wanted to go out as part of culture but wanted somewhere safe and responsible for the kids to.




Basically a rave trance night for families where parents can go out and have fun and the kids can come too.

Like being at a festival not a church do...

Is there anywthing else like this for friends wotu kids or where we can bring friends with kids on nights out.

Maybe if you would teach them everything early they would have a better chance to do somethign with their lives instead of having to wait to learn stuff. And whats wrong with growing up fast?

Gerber has those pasta pick up and he will eat 2 things of those and then a jar of like diced veggies and a jar of diced fruit and a bottle of juice or milk. Before he even seems to want to stop is that to much. He eats most adult food well already i just used the gerber foods for reference to how much he eats. He eats three meals a day and then wants to snack all day. My two other kids are 3 and 5 and they never ate this much lol.

I know this mother who since her divorce is doping up her children to no end. She has her 5 year old taking over 12 pills day plus over 3 breathing treatments a day. Her 13 year old and 10 year old are also on about 10 pills a day for various things. The children cannot even stay awake at school. 3 year ago before her divorce the children were not on anything at all and suddenly they have all these medical conditions. Any advice?

I have tried very hard to be kind and to work on making my daughter's father (an ex-boyfriend of mine) a part of her life. He lives in another State, but I send photos, videos, updates, try to visit, etc. I did not sue him for support, but he will pay trips if we go out to visit. But, I always am the one who plans the trips. Other than that, we never hear from him...not a "hello", "how is my daughter?", "thank you for all you do", nothing. Anything he knows about our daughter, is because of me. Last we saw him was 5 mos. ago and not a word since. He also has never made an effort to introduce her to his family (I did take her on my own to meet them, but she didn't get to meet everyone). I feel like he is ashamed of her or like he just doesn't care. I am so tired of his apathy and lack of concern for her. People say "oh, that's how men are." To me, that is the lamest excuse for poor behavior, indifference and does not justify bad parenting. Is it worth keeping him in her life?

I saw that movie "Daddy Daycare" and was wondering what the posibilities are i.e. the niche market. I have an old friend who did that and he is busy. It seems to work but just wanted to hear from you if you would consider it or what would put you off about it.
