Parenting - August 2006

Why is it that kids nowadays know more about sex, mainly targeting 1st-3rd graders. I have a 8 year old cousin that knows what sex is and knows what a dick is, says it with her friends, and knows what I didn't know til' I was in 5th. She also has a friend who's cousin is FIVE YEARS OLD, and knows what sex is and think a guy and a guy liking each other or a girl and a girl liking each other is fine. And you may say, "Thay no nothing of that!" But they only tell the ppl they trust the most. If your their ma or dad, you'd probably never find out til they show more obvious signs.

My son is 4 and a half months. Today was my cracking point. My boyfriend is basically a good guy, but if we get in an argument he up and leaves for days at a time. i need help with raising my son and he doesnt help me by leaving. I started a really bad period. Ive been bleeding a lot. More than usual and i am anemic. I have no groceries and havent eaten in two days. My boyfriend keeps sendine me letters on the internet about how he loves me but i have to treat him better. He's 22 yrs older than me. I have lost it. I have cried for the past two days. My son cries and all i want to do is cry and make him be quiet. Id never hurt my son. Id hurt myself though. Im scared. I want him to come home so i can leave for a day. Just for a break. I dont know what to do. I havent had friends for a whole year either. I have to go to the store. My sons almost out of formula, yet i cant even leave my room without bleeding a lot. What should i do.

Always so much judgement passing from mother to mother. Why? I see it everyday, and I can't understand why women are this way. At least this seems to be prevalent in the United States.

In todays messed up world, should you let a 12 yr old chat online. Of course you want to monitor you child online. Today you hear of preditors seeking young children. My son has been asking to chat, but I just don't think he's ready. He tells me his friends do.

What do you think? Mature adults only please.

How do you keep your sanity when you are in the house all the time cleaning and watching the kid(s)? do you ever feel like you have lost a part of yourself? Like you are now just 'MOM'?

I remeber an episode of old cop series Cagney and Lacey were one once walked in to find her teenage son had found her gun and pointed at a mate thinking it was unloaded...

After geting him to put it down gently, at the end of the show you see her get a call and she takes her son to the hospit to see a gunshot victem broaght in possibly an accidence like he could have caused... it did not say. A nasty one with the doctors trying to patch him up and made him watch, the kids turns around horrified but the mum turns his head around to make him watch...

I presume such a thing would cause nightmares but would make sure the kid understood what guns were about and never to play with them or see them as cool again. But an ugly horrible thing that does really horrible damage to someone and only to be used if necessary to protect others or say put someone down in a burning car.

Far more effective then grounding, caning, etc

How many of you would do things like that... more comming

My son who is now 3 years old was born with imperforate anus (no rectal opening) he has had 5 surgeries to correct this problem but he still has some issues. Before he was born my husband was very excited when we found out we were having a boy and he had dreams about taking him fishing and playing ball with him but so far three years later he has yet to do anything with him and he is a typical little boy that runs around and plays just fine like any other 3 year old. It just kills me inside that my husband can't take the time and bond with him and throw him a ball or take him to a park and push him on a swing. You should see the way he clings on to other men, like my friends husbands or my brother, that pay attention to him. I don't know what to do. Please help

My son started kindergarden last year, the first couple of days I had some moms come up and talk to me, but like a week later they would just get in their little groups and ignore me, it's makes me uncomftorable standing outside my kids class or a class party and the other moms wont give me the time of day, it's like highschool all over again, i'm naturally shy and I don't like to go up to people I don't know and start a conversation. Do you think I should be worried about this? I just don't want my son to get made fun of because i'm not in with all the other moms. Any advice?

I have read a lot of the questions and answers on this site. I have come to the conclusion that the school system no longer teaches grammar. Is it just me, or have other people found out the same thing?

what is the funniest/cutest thing a child has ever said/done. For example My 4 year old and Pug were playing , she fell and swore the Pug made her break her nose (its not broke by the way) ok so when I took her face in my hand to look at her nose she starts crying out in pain "see mommy told you it's broke, I need a pink cast!" I said "Xandra I didn't even touch your nose", so she takes my hand and touches it to her nose and said "Now you did OWWWWW", "Now can I have a pink cast", now tell me your stories!

My Daughters doctor said to feed her cereal once a day. But the cereal i think is making her stool hard and she has trouble going poop. Is there another kind she can eat? The kind she is eating right now is Gerver Rice Cereal.
