Ok, that may sound mean and rude, but seriously. I am tired of seeing questions about where do babies come from and how do I masterbate. Are there any adults watching these kids? I know if my daughter wanted to know this stuff I would hope that she would come to me and ask and not go to a bunch of idiots from Yahoo! Where are these kids parents?

I know I would. My ideal child would have beautiful blonde hair and blue eyes. Since both my parents have blue eyes and my father carries the gene for blonde hair, the probability of me producing blonde-haired/blue-eyed offspring is high (I intend to marry a girl with these traits).

I’d treat my blonde-haired children like princes & princesses. When my blonde-haired daughters become teenagers, I will disown them if they date anyone outside their race, and will frown upon boyfriends with darker features. I will also be very protective of my blonde daughters.

My teenage daughter truly believes I hate her and that I love my other two children instead. no matter what I do,or dont,for that matter she still clings on to this feeling. What do I do?

My daughter is 10 months old. She wants me to be with her constantly. I do play with her most of the day. But I also have chores to get done around the house. It is very hard to cook dinner while holding her. I am just wondering what other people do? Do you play with your children all day long? Or do I just have a child that needs more attention?

Several years ago I was friends with this girl who had two children. Shortly after I met her she got very heavily into drugs and, basically, abandoned her kids. They were in foster care for a few years and now live with their dad, who is sort of... off. The dad talks all sorts of s--- about their mother, right in front of them. He believes that their mother never loved the girls at all, and will say it right to them. I tyr to tell them that their mother did love them but had big problems and couldn't care for them. I try to tell them some good things about their mother.
Lately the older kid has been mentioning her mother a lot and mentioning good memories she has. She asked me if I would ever see her mother around, and said if I did I should tell her "that I'm nine, or however old I am when you see her." She asked me, "Do you think my mom is keeping track of how long it's been since she's seen me?"
I have two questions...1. Do you think its possible that the dad is right and that the

I'm just curious. Many people are totally against hitting a child in any way and some are very much for it so long as it leaves no bruises or welts and is limited to the bottom or hands. My own observations are that children who are spanked or slapped on the hand (as well as given verbal explainations of what they did wrong) don't act up as often as those who aren't, especially in public. I was wondering if this is just within my small world or if it may be true.

having a new house built in a golf course community and it is a bigger home.
I can afford this house, but I do feel bad for some kids out there I know of who dont get all this and their parents work as well.
My kid is young and I do not want him to know what it is like to live in poverty as I did as a child.
I want him to grow up in a nice home and have a nice life.
But some people have outright told me I was crazy for building a new home and paying what I did for it.
I see it as an investment.

If and the medical community is telling us we just have "better diagnosis", and ONE in FIVE children now has some form of autism spectrum disorder, don't you think we would notice if one in five people all around us in any given day had autism?
Don't you think if they were misdiagnosed, doctors could see clearly all the misdiagnosed autistics all around us, taking up a huge chunk of our population, why aren't they all coming out with their rediagnosis of the staggering populations of adults with autism now that they know so much about it?
And is autism a human condition all over the world that a huge percentage of the population just 'has' with no rhyme or reason?

Ok, if you are under doctors orders to give your preschooler medicine, but she refuses, kicking and screaming, what can you do?? Is the only option to force feed her the medicine? And isn't that considered child abuse?

I am a 27 year old single mother with a daughter's father who has a girlfriend but as soon as I started dating now he does nothing for us. I've been so stressed I lost my job a month ago I'm starting a new one in 2 WEEKS!!!! Unemployement was denied so yes my bills are piling up. Me and the person I am dating continue to bump heads. But the bottom line is I have a 6 year old daughter in the middle of chaos with two disfunctional parents. It is no fair we brought her here. Now I will never have another child again. My car was broken into and my radio was stolen and that was the straw that broke the camels back! For the first time I have actually thought about suicide. I don't want this unstable life for my baby! I have friends and loved ones but I don't think they can help me with this. So I came to the internet not knowing just what to type in the address field. But yahoo is my homepage and ASK YAHOO jumped out at me. Whatever info you have even an inspiring word or experience please!

My mom has always had a her-way-or-no-way attitude which has kind of led me growing up to be a pushover & not able to speak my mind very well... I am 7 months pregnant now & cant drive, we live an hour away from her. My 2 year old daughter is a handful and I love her to bits but I needed a break to rest, so I let my mom take her for the weekend... BUT that was LAST weekend;Tuesday we found a bigger house opening up so we're now in the process of moving, so I let it go without saying anything since my daughter would make this an even bigger ordeal if she were here right then.
Ok, so today I called my mom & asked if she's going to bring Kc back tonight & she flat out says "No" and starts in with how she's looking after my aunt who's eldery & lives with her... she uses my aunt as an excuse for never bringing my daughter back on the day we agree on, but when it come to her picking Kc up, leaving my aunt is never a problem! How do I deal with her, Short of filing kidnapping charges?!

Another question lead me to ask this one. Do you notice that kids in school are babied? My children are in elementary school. Like other schools, there are awards for student of the month (given for good citizenship), there are some at the end for the year for math, science, cooperation, etc. Yet all the kids get an award! Why must each child get an award in order to make things "fair" and to be careful of their self-esteem? What happened to the days when the kids that worked for those things are the only ones who got them? There are lots of other examples I'm sure you all can think of. Are we teaching our children that you dont' have to work for anything cause you'll get it anyway? And the lack of discipline? And the entire paranoia about self-esteem? Does anyone agree that we are raising children that are completely dependent on everyone else to make them a success in life?

I was spanked when I was growing up and I think it's something that more parents need to do to keep their kids in check. I'm a respectable member of society and I still, to this day, respect my mom and dad. I've seen more and more though that phychologists say it's not good to spank your children. Why is that?
