I know a lot of laws have been made to protect children from child abuse, but it really has made it hard for parents to raise their children. Sometimes words or threats of punishment aren't enough to make a child understand. With a lot of laws out today parents are afraid to discipline their kids with a good ol fashion spanking. In some cases when a parent spanks the kid or smacks em, not hard enough to leave a bruise or mark of course, child services has come in and done investigations. This is why a lot of parents try and try but can't get through to kids because they feel like they can't smack or spank them without having child services on them. What do you think?

My year old crib mattress got two rips in it while moving, the rips are about ½ inch long.

If I keep the side with the rips on the bottom and I put a mattress pad cover over the good side, will it be okay to use?


I was planning on having the baby sleep on the good side and keep the mattress well protected with a waterproof mattress cover.


What are the “rules” with crib mattresses? When should you throw them out or replace them?

well, for one thing i am one of those people, i have been with my fiance for eight years next weekend, we have been engaged for almost 7 of those years, we have a son who just turned six, and a daughter who will be one. i would like to know where you get off feeling sorry for my kids. they are smart, well behaved, and have everything they need. Im sure they are raised better than you were with comments like that. my fiance and i have already made a spiritual commitment, so at this point it is just a peice of paper and an announcement of marriage, and ten thousand dollars, but we decided to hold on getting married to put our kids needs first. so once again, who the hell are you?? i feel sorry for you.

I used to say this whenever I heard "horror stories" from other Mom's.....Not my child!.....Yet...it was my son who would scream at the top of his lungs when he was 2 & not getting his way.....& it was my daughter who hit the other little girl for taking her sand toys......who else has said this & ended up eating their words?

Do you ever worry that even with all the love and devotion and hard work that you put into raising your children that you are somehow messing it up? We have 7 awesome children and sometimes I worry that although we are trying to raise them to be kind, caring, responsible, educated, respectful people that I am somehow doing it wrong. Do any of you have the same worry?

I'm sure older kids are more caught up with designer labels....but at what age do they become conscious of this? Do parents aid in this trend? What role does school play?

I was drinking scope in the playground today and a baby wandered over to me out of nowhere. I think it may be orphaned or something so i have a baby now i guess. I put an add in the paper but no one has claimed it. Its been 3 days and its still alive but i am not sure how to take care of it. I left food and water out and it wont eat it. I gave it some hotdogs and a fruit bowl but it still cries alot. I dont have money for diapers so i just clean up after and let it do its thing. anyone know where i can get a book to find out what kind of baby it is and what to give it? Its some kind of brown most likely mexican or a brown asian type.

She says that he abandonded me when I was little and thats it. But my dad says that she stole me. I don't know who to believe. I can remember being a little kid crying in a conner for him to come get me and getting in trouble because I cried for him. Who do I believe and how do I approach them both about this.

My daughter has friends come over all the time. Most of her friends are good about the no shoes rule in the house but a few of them I see walking around my house with shoes on. How do I get them to take their shoes off without being mean about it. My daughter and I always walk around the house in socks.

This especially refers to persons with kids. Why keep a filthy home? There are cheap cleaning implements at your disposal at your local Wally World that can clean gummy, kool-aid stained floors, take handprints off walls that appear so old and crusted they resemble the cave paintings at Lasceaux. Why do you let your kids just run wild like hooligans and not clean up, or better yet MAKE THEM LEARN to clean their own mess? I have a friend like this that I had to kick the F out of my residence yesterday because the animals she calls her children decided to make mudpies out of my houseplant soil and smir it EVERYWHERE while I was grilling and SHE was supposed to be watching her ill behaved progeny. Her excuse was she did not see them do it, but my son told me she sat right there and watched. My boy does not lie, he was (is) actually raised and disciplined (is that a bad word up here, by the way?) So I was furious, and told them to get to stepping. Why? Just why do people keep dirty homes?

Why would you desire to bring more kids here? The Earth is dying, and we have almost destroyed our own homeostasis. Do you think perhaps your children will escape the inescapable doom we all will suffer (if us old folks are still on our respirators at that time) of "Weather gone wild", an extinction level cosmic event, or some other catastrophe? Lets not even get into the stse of the world now, I have two of my own and I love them dearly...BUT, I pray for their future. The future of their world. Hmmmm, just wondering. Or, is it just the "babies are so cute and I want a mini me, have my DNA sequence go on forever, have someone to love me, had one too many margaritas" type things?

I had mine because I was young, dumb, and disillusioned to the world. I love my babies, but I wish things were different.
