Parenting - October 2006

I have a daughter that is 12. Recently I found a bunch of my underwear in her drawers and she said that they came in her pile of laundry. But I know better. I asked her if she feels that her underwear are not "grown up" enough for her and she said yes. Maybe it is time to get away from the Fruit of The Loom Briefs? She has friends with parents who allow their 12 and 13 years olds to wear thongs, but I don't agree....any advice?

i went to the doctor explainig that i havent been able to concieve and that i dont ever recall getting pregnant and that i was producing breast milk not alot just like a drop and its mostly from only 1 of my breast and he explaind to me that i have something called Galactorrhea.

he told me that was preventing me from getting pregnant and that i was going to take a medication called BROMOCRIPTINE a substitue for PARLODEL that it was going to stop me from producing the breastmilk and then id be able to get pregnant even while taking the pill.
any one kno of this being true

the problem now is that i went to another doctor to get a second opinion and he told me to get on birthcontrol so i still havent takin todays dose should i stop birth control and take the pill or how long should i wait for this.

Is it fair we have to look down?

It was a beautiful, warm summer day,
I took my wife and our three kids to the park.

We laughed and we played, like a family should,
Until it was time to head home, just after dark.

We stopped at the dairy queen, and ordered ice cream,
Because we promised our kids, that’s exactly what we’d do.

As we drove home, singing songs and talking about the day,
I realized I was looking down, at my wife and my children to.

A car came from out of nowhere, and ripped our van in two,
My kids are covered with blankets, to hide their missing face.

And as I’m looking down I see my wife, gasping for her last breath,
Its then I knew, she would join us, in this different place.

And now I see myself, amongst the metal and broken glass,
Because the place where I had been sitting, is now in the trunk.

The car that took our life’s, on that beautiful summer day,
Was driven by nothing more, than a DRUNK.

So do you truly think its fair that my family has to look down?
At the ones who put us here while they continue to enjoy their fun.

I wish you could see, all the lives you have cut short,
All because you wanted to drive, and drink because you thought it was fun.

I have an almost 16 year old daughter. She has a MySpace account and several emails as well as AIM IMing account. Last year she started being sneaky and lying about things so I try to monitor her computer time to keep an eye on what she is up to. The computer is located in the dining room, she only gets an hour of computer time a day and I sit at the dining room table while she is on the computer. She has been IMing someone and I am concerned it is someone older and possibly dangerous for her. When I google spyware, most sites deal with keeping spyware off computers. I need a good inexpensive spyware that will help me monitor what she is IMing and what the person is typing back. Please help.

i was whipped with a belt when i was younger and i think it helped a lot, i mean id never hit my kids with a belt, because it hurt like hell, but in a sense i think establishing a sense of whos boss is neccessary sometimes.. Like if my kids do something that is dangerous and can hurt themself or another i spank their *** and put them in a time out, i dont see how thats wrong, They go in regular time out way to often, I think spanking should be used when the situation involves danger. Go ahead make your "your a horrible person comments"... i just wunna hear what the majority thinks.

For his 17th birthday he said he wants one of those tiny cameras. Something that might fit inside of a Barbie doll or some other children's dolls. He showed me one of his sister's bath-toys to give me an idea of the size. I wonder if it maybe should be waterproof too.

I have a 3 year old who just runs stupid when we go shopping. If I don't end up loosing him, he starts playing up and throwing things off shelves. I have resorted to putting him on a lead but gee I get some mean looks and feel like a terrible mother! He does calm down and behave, however.

I'm 18(girl).I've been living with a friend of mine(she is 29) for a few years already.She has a 6-month-old baby.I finished school and I take the care of the baby,while she is at work.When the baby was born(because of the missing father),my friend had to choose someone who will eventually be the guardian of her child in case something happes to her(fbi agent).She picked meTwo days ago,she(having a case from fbi to work on) had to go and check(I won't explain what).She decided to take the baby with her(the most stupid decision in my opinion) because I wasn't at the town.She met 'bad' people and without her know,someone had put a drug in her drink.Police found them and she couldn't prove she worked for the fbi(she was on drugs).CPS took the baby and yesterday gave me the guardianship.It is taken from her for 3 months.We live togeher but as a guardian,I shouldn't leave the child alone with her(as I was explained by CPS).I don't want to hurt her,she is my best friend.What should I do?

I know it's going to be hard to decide, because we all have more than one way that we love out kids. With my 3 kids they are:
My oldest its her eyes. Her eyes are very expressive. Her facial expression can remain the same, but her eyes will tell you the whole story. She can never tell a lie.
My middle girl, she's very inquisitive. Sometimes, the 40 questions in 1 minute can rattle my nerves, but she does have a thirst for learning. And will question any and everything.
My baby, it's her laugh. No matter how bad you are feeling or how your day went, she can bring a smile. She has one of those genuine gut busting belling laughs that makes every laugh even without knowing the reason. Everyone that meets her comments on her laugh, she's laughed the same way since she was 4 months.
