It seems like all these parenting magazines make assumptions about their readers . 1) That they are married- Lots of people are single parents by choice , by circumstance , or by divorce. 2) That people who have children are older in their 30's - Lots of people have children in their early , mid and late 20's. 3) That all of the people who have children make boo coo bucks - Here's an example taken out of Baby Talk magazine October 2006 pg. 55 -
Article: Foolproof Finance - " Should you go back to work ? A personal nanny may run you $20,000 or more ."
Who wounld even consider that ? The average person makes a little over $20,000 per year.

Why don't they write things for normal , everyday people ?

I've noticed quite a few people are against routine and schedule. Why is that? How can you handle not having a routine and knowing what to expect?

For people who do have routine; why do you feel it is important?

I do not think there is anything wrong with not having a routine--I just don't know any other way.

S. M. to immigrant kids that I sponsored to come USA. Step D. (10 yo) wants 2 be in her school’s Girl Scouts, Basketball team, etc. Her Dad won't allow any but art club for some reason. During check-up Doc (without alarming child) says she’s been genitally militated & her clitoris & labia have been removed. I feel faint, later while alone in the Doc’s office I cry 4 her, thinking of what she's been thorough & how she's been violated & robbed terribly. Doc says most girls block out the experience until about 15-20 b/c it’s so traumatic. SD worships her father/ and all of her brothers. I tell my husband what Doc saw and his reply is “And? So what…?” When she has probs in US she says she wants to return to her “Na-Na” (mother) in West Africa. Docs say this is most likely who mutilated her in order make sure she wld get a husband someday. If U were me wld U consider leaving, taking her with U & filing for custody or getting out period & having to leave her behind b/c yr just the step mom?

HRS specifically tells parents not to spank a child but school systems are allowed to ask our permission to hand down corporal punishment to our children when we cant even do it ourselves by HRS standards.

I love him to death, but I must admit that he is bad. He is 15 mos old and has the worst temper!! He gets so mad about everything and he kicks, screams, and bites. It is getting to the point where i don't want to take him anywhere because he throws fits when he doesn't get his way. It's usually just about walking, I say walk this way, he wants to go the other way, I say "no street" and he insists on walking into the street. I work full time, and I hate spending the only time I have with him telling him no and watching him throw these fits. How long will this last?? I don't know how long I can take it!!!!

I just read a question about when should a child be allowed to see sex and kissing on television--I don‘t think there is anything wrong with that question, by the way. I have always questioned that and violence. It seems in America it is okay to watch violent things on the television. For God's sake--cartoons are more violent. Why do we take so much time and effort trying to shield our children from sex? In my eyes sex is natural. It is something people do--if you have talked to your kids about sex, explaining when two people love each other they have sex then why is it that big of a deal? Why do I see so many American children watching Pulp Fiction--before they are allowed to watch Titanic? If kids know they are just movies--not to get confused with real life--then why is sexual content so considered much worse then violence? Before you jump to conclusions--no I’m not talking about full fledged porn--just movies with sex scenes.

The biological father of my son was abusive, both physically and verbally. When my son was 7 months old, I left his father and have since met and married a wonderful man that raises him as his own. The bio father abandoned our son, not attempting to pay child support or to see him. We were not married at the time of birth and the father never legitimated him through the courts. My son is now 4 yrs old and Joe, my husband, is the only "daddy" he has ever known. My husband has since adopted him, we've changed his name, and Zachary, my son, knows nothing of the events we have been through. When should I, how should I, or even should I tell him about all of this? I feel he should know, but I don't want to do it at such a young age that it confuses him and I don't want to wait until he is so old that he asks me why we didn't tell him sooner.

my son goes to an all-boys private school because i make a lot of money and i can afford it.

the school is putting on a production of "romeo and juliet" and my son is trying out for the part of romeo.

im very worried that participating in something like theatre might make him gay, and id much rather him do something like play baseball. how do i explain this to him without crushing his dreams?

Has anyone ever heard of this?

They have ruled out the temperature, & he does fine in the pool but often times has seizures in the bath tub. The doctors have changed the medications many times & he quits for a while then starts again. The parents don't know what to do. He has seizures other times but the most happen as soon as he hits the bath water. The are several doctors studying him trying to figure out why. Has anyone heard of this or haave a good idea?

Thanks! D.

Ex: Walkers (for babies) were invented long ago, to help a lil one toddle around before learning to walk. They have since been banned. WHY? Because some parents can't keep an eye on a small baby that can't even WALK yet?

Folks want to villianize the internet and "MySpace" and other web sites, for preying on their children, but won't take the computer out of the child's room or perhaps even LOOK at what a child is doing online.

My son is nearly 8 months old and is nursed after his bath before he gets a story then laid to bed. I don't know why but I'm skeptical about not being there for his bedtime routine. It's probably more traumatizing for me then it will be for him. I would just like to know other mom's feelings and when was the first time they weren't there for bedtime. Thanks !

Me and my fiancee are having difficulties. She is vegetarian and I am not. She wants our baby to grow up vegetarian and I am the one that will let them eat whatever they want, but just limiting what they intake to a healthy degree. I just don't know what to do. I cannot deny my kids something that I would sit down and eat also. I just couldn't. That would be hypocritical of me. And It would make me feel like pure crap. But my fiancee wants them to grow up vegetarian. We are both vere passionate on our decisions. We are having trouble reaching a compromise also. She wants them to be vegetarian until 11 or 12 and let them decide if they want to continue that path. I want them to just eat what they like and what, but still monitoring what they intake to a healty diet, and let them decide when they get 11 or 12 years old. Please give me your opinion on this ! ! !

I breastfed my son up until a month ago. Now when we are out in public, he reaches for my nipples and puts his face in my bosom when he is hungry. Also when other women hold him, he does the same thing to them. It's sort of embarassing. How do I get him to stop? Thanks for comments.
