Parenting - October 2006

What would you do if you told your teenage son that he will have to stay in school and can't drop out and then he gets mad at punches you in the face? What would you say if he said he wishes you would be out of his life forever?

I have a day care in my home and I was interviewing a possible client recently. She called me later to ask for references, but also to discuss her concern with the backyard play area. She didn't like that my yard had a steep incline and that I kept all the outside play equipment on the deck (a very good size deck) and that the children never played in the yard. She then told me that she was getting ready to rent a bulldozer for her yard and suggested that I rent it from her and even out my backyard so the kids could play. I told her that it was not in my budget to drastically change the landscape of my yard and that it would stay as is. She pushed the issue and I told her I didn't think it was a good idea for her to bring her child to the day care and she got angry with me. I told her I was offended and ended the conversation. This lady was a bit on the crazy side in my opinion, or did I over react? What would you say to someone who asked you to bulldoze your yard?

i know this isnt a parenting question, but i know a lot of people answer these type of questions. i posted a question in the business section and im not getting answers, so my question is, are slacks "professional" attire for women or is it more appropriate for a woman to wear a skirt.

I feel like my son is trying to give me a heart attack. not that ive ever had one but he really raises my blood pressure. Since he was 13 he decided he wasn't going to attend school. My (child) out wieghs me and towers over me. I signed him up at high school and he still would not go. I do not have the help or support of the dad as the courts took away his parental rights in 2000 for being unfit and abuse issues.
My son now at 16 has a (phone) relationship with him. I beleive The dad uses this to turn my son against me. My son doesnt talk much to me anymore and when he does its really rude, and I'm very embarassed to admit this to anyone but he is always telling me to shut (tf) up. Go to my room...or calls me an idiot. I feel so disrespected and it really hurts.
I put him in home school to keep him in a school, any school.. but recently he wasnt applying himself at all and they wanted him out of that school. So now i'm at a loss.
He sneaks out of the house in early morning hours. I tried to talk to him about this and he told me I'm being an idiot and acting irrational when I told him I do not want him going out in the middle of the night. He said he will do it anyways and that all kids do.
I'm so embarrassed to be writing this but i'm at my wits ends. This child is running my house and my life. If things dissapear, he does not admit to taking those things. (he an I are the only ones here and I know I didnt take them) If I try to just be happy and sing through the house. He tells me to stfu, go to my room and his latest thing is to call me a f#gg@t.
I dont use drugs. I am tryng to maintain a respectful persona in the community. I work in a pharmacy. I am called (sweet), too sweet by my peers. I feel like this is the hardest time in my life and the biggest challenge and I feel like a failure.
And I desperately need to tak to someone. Please feel free to respond. Theres so much more going on here but I feel like I would be writing a book. His dad was/is an abusive man that I was advised by the police after a beating, to get far away from him. I did.
He took the kids from me and kept them hidden until the County Gave them back to me.
Both children refused counceling. The oldest is married now and my son is the hardest.
I told him I want to help him and that I love him. but he tells me to get away from him and dont touch him not even a kiss on the cheak or a hug. The house feels like a tomb. and now I find myself in my room alot and very depressed.

Two years ago i got pregnant with my son. I was not on good terms with my then bf and he hated the idea of becoming a parent he was still going through his bad boy phase.He dumped me and hooked up with someone else. At three months i lied to him and told him i lost the baby and was going to study abroad in England. I gave birth in London 6 months later and i did plan to tell him when i got back but when i heard he was still with the slutty girl he left me for i acted immature and kept my mouth shut.I will be finishing college at the end of this year thanks to the help of my parents. Problem is my ex.bf saw my son on campus last week and since then i have felt compelled to tell him that he has a son?Are there any legal remafacations to telling him?

My husband works 6 days a week and used to have Sundays off and we would always do "family things" on Sundays. HIs schedule changed and now his day off is Tuesday. I have 2 kids - 6 and 2. My 6 year old is in first grade. We were thinking about letting her miss school tomorrow and spending the day at Busch Gardens. She is doing great in school and is really a great kid. Opinions on missing school for this? Thanks.

My 10 year old son has an extremely limited diet. He eats bagels, chicken fingers, peanut butter sandwiches, cereal, grapes and apples, salty chip (and of course sweet treats). Obviously my wife and I have constantly encouraged some variety but we've had no luck and my wife believes we could do more harm psychologically by forcing the issue. Any suggestions or should we let him outgrow this?

How many parents are fed up with primary care. My son has had two sinus infections that turned into a massive ear infection in the past five weeks. I had him to the doctor on Monday of last week just to make sure that everything was o k to only turn around on Thursday and take him to an urgent care facility to find out he had a massive ear ifection. Where do i draw the line. I paid for a visit when he was completly healthy and now i have to pay again for a re check. Is this fair? i know that my childs health is the most important thing but my pockets are empty. Any suggestions. Should i ask the doctor office for a free visit?

My son will be 9 months old november 3rd and i have been having a problem with his dad and over-feeding him. He basically feeds him whenever he wants a bottle. I keep telling his daddy that he is not a newborn, he does not need to eat like that, he is going to become fat. It's in one ear and out the other. He took him one day last week, i feed the baby at 10 a.m. and then he left with the baby...I told his daddy not to feed him for another 4 hours, if he cries...put up with it, like i do all week long. He said o.k. he and the baby came home again at 12:30 p.m. so he could "saw" for a piece for work...I went into the diaper bag and saw a bottle almost empty which means he fed him again in a 2 and a half hour period. I was so angry..It's coming between our relationship. It's driving me crazy that he feeds him like that. Now i know why, the baby screams a lot when he is with me cuz he wants to eat again after only 2 hours. what can i do to make his daddy stop over feeding him?

I am my mother’s only daughter of 4 children. I am 24 and the only one she treats like crap.

She tries to fight with me about stupid stuff and then says I am the troublemaker!

She invited me over for my birthday this weekend and told me not to ruin her day with my “bull####”

Then she said I was “just like” my brother who she says argues for no reason and is mentally ill. He is an alcoholic drug addict and I NOTHING like him.

She blamed me for the argument and I ended up telling her I needed to go home because her arguments escalate and she won’t let it go until she wins.

I cried all the way home and my husband believes my mom doesn’t like me because she verbally and emotionally abuses me all of the time.

My counselor says she is bad for my self image and I need to limit my contact as a permanent solution to help me handle her.

She is never going to change, so what do I do?

I’m using my sister’s account since mine is down. Hey, I have a 3 year old ( adopted) son ( since I can’t have any of my own). His name is Carson. I’ve always like Carrie & Carly. I am adopting new born twin girls and I am thinking about naming them Carrie and Carly. Would that be weird? Carly and Carson? And Carrie? So close and all C’s? I do not intend on doing all C names but I do like the name Camryn not sure if I would use it or not. So would that be weird? – Alicia

My biological father last week told me that he would no longer be a part of my life if I continued to date outside my race (white I assume). Thing is...he's half white and half Puerto Rican and told me only to date white men. I like a variety of different people because when it all comes down to it, its only our character inside that counts. He said he refuses to have a mulatto grandchild. Yes the majority of men I date are black, and yes I did grow u in the ghetto (with only my mother, no father around). Aren't fathers suppose to be around regardless of who someone is dating no matter one's skin color?

It happens far too much...
I was watching Date Line and they had several couples who were looking to adopt a baby...One couple found a woman was willing to give her baby to a couple and so the couple gave the mother some money for living expenses and paid the legal fees to the attorney...come to find out it was a scam...the woman on the internet said her name was cristy...as so it seems she was promising her baby to about 4-5 other couples but when it came time for the baby to be born she would cut off all contact.

Dateline started a investigation on this woman and found out that she lied about everything....

Go to dateline nbc and type in A web of Deceit..thats the title...

What should happen to this woman???
What are your thoughts on this???
Does the birth mother have to many rights????

Many interesting other facts were discovered about her she was married twice after pilling allot of debt in her husbands name she just left them...

She seems t me a pathological lyer

This weekend my daughter was spending time over my cousin's house while I was running errands. She wanted something to eat so she used the microwave to heat up something. She put it in there for too long and it burned. It produced a lot of smoke in the house. So when me and my cousin arrived at the house, we didn't know why there was so much smoke. She had gotten rid of the evidence. So we called 911 and summoned the fire dept. They couldn't find anything. I asked several times during all this if she attempted to cook anything and she flat out lied. The fireman then found the burnt peice of whatever it was in the trash. She then decided to tell the truth. I was so angry that I couldn't spank her because I would have beat the s*** out of her. So I removed myself from the room to calm down. Now I want her to remember what the hell she did and know that there are serious consequences for lying and causing problems of that nature. Please give me some unique ideas.
