Parenting - September 2006

Four days ago in school, we had an opening in the schedule and all the guys decided to go play basketball. The girls just stayed outside next to the cafeteria, talking and fouling around. I don’t really like basketball so I stayed with the girls. I was talking with two girls, they where smiling and then without warning a girl grabbed me by the balls and started squeezing, the others noticed and started giggling! The thought of going for her eyes, punching her neck bone, or just knock her out with a punch crossed my mind instinctively, but I did not wanted to hurt her, until it was too late because I started feeling too bad and weak to fight back, and to my surprise she squeezed for a hole minute! If a girl was being abused, me and the guys would kill the freak, but when the roles are reversed, instead of helping me, the girls where all laughing and cheering the hole time!

Hello everyone! I am a mother of 2, and currently a stay at home mom. I have many friends who are parents as well. I have noticed that its pretty easy to find a daycare/babysitter/etc on the weekdays. But most of them close around 6 pm, and most arent open on the weekends.

I was thinking of starting an in-home daycare for night time (overnight as well) hours and for the weekends (Saturdays and Sundays).

If you are a parent, have you had a difficult time finding a babysitter for night time hours and weekends?

Dont worry, i am licencsed and will have help from other parents...lol.

Thank you all for your opinions!

My ex and I have a child together. He currently owes 18K in child support. He already had a child when I met him & he was very supportive of that child..paying c/s on time. When I ended the relationship because I found out he was still seeing her, he lived with her & was paying c/s to avoid paying full amount owed to my child. They are now married, would the child support to there child stop because child support is based upon visitation?

Can a birth mother give up parental rights and change her mind later? I think I've heard of cases where this happens.

I would like to look into adoption someday but this thought scares me.

My son's smart for his age. He does have disabilities. He has been diagnosed Adhd, Odd, and Bipolar.
Has seen 2 psychiatrist's, and 2 psychologist's. Been on several medication's that have failed. My son's dad & I have joint custody, His dad does have visitation.
He has distorted ideal's @ times of who he want's to live with, as in his step-dad and I moving with him to his dad's. I cant seem to get my son to understand that just cant happen. His dad and I have very different view's on my son's disabilities, he believe's nothing is wrong with him, and will never try and get him help.
I on the other hand know he has the disabilities along with 4 Dr's diagnosis. But not getting anywhere with medicine, and Dr's. The medicine either doesn't work, or is too strong & dangerous, and I get him off the medicine's.
I know my son loves me, but wants to live with his dad, its a very hard decision I have to make. As a court date is close. I have had to hire an attorney. Serious answers please

my son turned 1 on sept.13 and every one keeps telling me that he should only take one nape a day my son usually wakes up around 8am and goes to bed anywhere between 8and 10 pm( lately he has been resisting going to sleep at night) and he will take two short naps that total around 3 to 4 hours. is this normal i know every baby is different and should we try to make him take only one nap? I forgot to ask his doctor at his last visit and i just wondered if anyone has any advice or an opinion on this. thanks

My son is 15 and wants the new Ninetendo Game system that will be coming out in November. Because he has been a very good kid this year, I will buy him this system for Christmas. Today he asked me if he could get the present when it comes out instead of waiting until December 25. Is it a good idea to give him his Christmas present early?

Please hear my story before you judge. I am married, and my husband and i have been married for 6 years now. We have a 1 year old son, who is a 'special needs' baby, and is on medicines and many doctors appointments. We live in a very small town, and his closest doctor is a 45 minute drive away. Everything has been fine until about 6 months ago. My husbands work went out of business, and our only car broke down. We were renting to own a house, but the owner of the house passed away unexpecdedly, so we were forced to move out, and now live in an apartment. Yes, our son has WIC, etc, but WIC only covers half of his formula since it is prescribed by his doctor because of his health needs. Also, the state insurance doesnt cover his medicine, which we could afford until all this other stuff happened. We love our son very much. But everything in our life seems to be going wrong and we can barely afford to live. I just want the best for my son, someone who can afford to provide for him.

Some people really aren't fit to be parents. Wouldn't it solve all the developed world's problems, like crime and overpopulation, if only certain people were allowed to reproduce?

My bestfriend has a daughter that is my daughters age and they both started kinder. Well she keeps blaming the teacher for not teaching her daughter basic stuff like her name how to write it and her colors. Now I got mad and told her well technically she should have known her colors by the age of 3! and the pre req for Kinder is knowing their 1st and last name and how to write it! My daughter started kinder with the basic fundamentals of reading, spelling, her full name how to write it. her home adress, phone number, and DOB. Now my friend gives me the excuse well I dunno what the sitter does with her while im at wrk! BUT she can when she gets home help her or take her learning books 2 the sitter. Its ppl like that who will blame the system when their child fails or dosent get accepted to a good HS or college! Am I wrong for bringing this to her attention? Im looking out for her child while there is still a chance! Or should I butt out?

As a parent, you have to sign for your kids until they are 18. Are you responsible for knowing what they are doing until that time? And should you, along with your child, be held responsible for any illegal activity committed by that child?

My younger boy was once watching my wife getting dressed and said 'Mummy, how come your knickers are so small when your bum is so big'. I just felt it deserved a wider audience.
Beat that!
