Parenting - August 2006

My problem is with parents that are doing exactly what they are supposed to do... being parents.

Now, before i explain any further, I am 15 years old, but mature for my age. I have always been honest with my parents and responsible as anyone should expect from a 15 year old. So why the heck don't they trust me?

The situation is, my boyfriend is 18, just graduated high school, and has moved into his own place. I have been dating him for a year now, and possibly many years to come, so this is quite a bit more than a crush...

you see, now that his apartment is his new hangout, I can't be with him there because my parents will not allow this. I think what theyre trying to do is protect me from a situation that I can't handle, but they don't know that I've already done the whole "totally alone" thing with him. He respects my limits when we are alone.

Might seem silly, but it's really important to me that I am allowed in his new apartment. But now, how do I convince my...

Ive known for some years and so have all my close family and friends however its unsetting how many people wen they ask if i have children make comments about it, ranging from, 'oh you better hurry up', to ' oh i dont blame you for choosing not too, wish i did sometimes'. and these are women, dont they realise that some of us just cant, and everytime we hear this stuff it hurts?

I have already tried the spankings and taking the toys away..But he gets mad and frustrated and throws a huge fit that usallly involves him throwing whatever is in his hand...It is not always because he doesnt get his way. Sometimes it is just pure frustration...

I am a S.A.H.M. of 3 (DS13 ,DD6 and DD1) and as much as I try I can't get the things done that I need to do.Ya know caring for the younger ones, the wash, cleaning the house and cooking, spending time with the kids, my hubby and lastly myself.

I have tried scheduals but our life seems to unpredictable. My house makes me feel horrible because it seems to be in disaray constantly. I clean and clean and it looks like I got no where. I'm not saying it's a trash hole just not organized and tidy. The table always has something on it. I want to spend more time with my kids but I find it difficult to fit it in.

Any advise?

PS. I don't have a dish washer, the laundry is in the basement and I have a bum knee (I still go down though), My hubby helps sometimes but he often works on the side to help bring in extra cash ( he helps with the baby mostly), My DS is not co operative and won't do more then his own room and his laundry......help me

We broke up a couple weeks ago (our son is 7 mos). At first we were on the same page, we agreed he was going to pay child support & get visits. Well, now he's pissed. He heard a rumor that I was out last weekend making out with a bunch of guys at a bar, which is absolutely untrue! Now he's saying he doesn't want anything to do with me or my (our) son. He says he wants to sign away his rights. What does this mean for me? I have an appointment with a lawyer but not for another week. Do I have to consent to him signing away his rights? Can I change my son's last name to my own? Is there any way to still get child support? How can anyone feel this way about their own son? It's not like we're in high school, we're 24! Doesn't he need to grow up??

Whales are mammals, does this mean that they suckle, and have nipples? Also, I think they've got really wierd mouths to try it on with.

To collect child support in the future, should i put his name on the baby's birth certificate? i want the last name of the baby to be my last name not his but i'm worried in the future does the baby's last name have to be his to collect child support? He is absent and has no support during this pregnancy even his family.

He just found out from a friend that i was pregnant. i was going to tell him back in april by sending him a text message saying that i need to talk to him but he didn't call instead he just send me a text message saying that for us to forget all what happened to us so we can talk in good terms for the sake of the child. i didn't respond back. since then i haven't heard from him and found out that he already has a new girlfriend. i tried calling him but his phone is disconnected. he has no support or his family about this pregnancy. what do u think should i do? if he's really willing and interested about this baby, he should make the initiative right?

Why is it that BUSH (his cronies and supporters) constantly talks about the "sanctity of marriage" when talking about a Marriage Amendment which would state that it should be exclusively between a man and a woman?

Sanctity of Marriage? That's laughable. Why don't Republican's target the real social crisis facing married couples like the 53% divorce rate (that's US Census Statistic).

Sanctity of Marriage? We live in a country where I can marry two people by answering thirty questions in an online test and become a MInister in three days!!

We have chapels that marry people via Elvis impersonation 24/7!!

It's like the abortion debate. If conservatives cared about the sanctity of others then why aren't they spending all that anti abortion money on setting up adoption clinics?

Why, why not? It's the classic bait and switch. They don't care about the sanctity of anything other than the sanctity of their own selfishness and precious religious views. Religious views!! LOL

First question: Did anyone know that the ultrasound does measurements based on 10 months..so it's going to add 2 wks to the baby's actual age? That's what I was told by the nurse. Was anyone told different?
Second question: Has anyone ever had wrong ultrasound dates? As far as the baby's measurements. Reason I ask is, I thought I conceived Jan 20th..but the date came out to Dec 22 and it said +/- 6, is that possible...or did I get pregnant sooner since it said it only had a 6 day window?

you know the one with the little girl that hates broccoli and chicken - well, now my little girl says she hates both too, allthough she eats it don't you think the commercial was irresponsible - its one thing if the child needs it but why encourage them to hate certain foods - advertisers know how powerful their commercials are!!

Should the goverment be more lenient with child support laws for deadbeat parents? Should the providing parent have to struggle to raise a children that they both help conceive.
