I mean doing the dishes and occasionally watching your kids in between soaps doesnt see to be such hard work to me.
I really cant the ones who get a new suv just for popping out another baby, wow, it must be nice to earn a living by spreading your legs and mooching off someone else.

Serious question, real answers only please. My 11 year old daughter got upset after going to the toilet because she had done the biggest stool I have ever seen and it wouldn't flush so I had to break it up to make it go.(I know this sounds amusing but the embarasment my daughter has had to overcome to tell me has leveled it ). The thing is she doesn't want me to take her to the doctors and tells me that she usually only goes about once every 3 days and this is normal for her. I have always given her privacy since she started to develop but am worried . I am amazed that something that big could come out of her. What should I do.? No buy a nose clip/rubber gloves type answers please I can think of all those myself thanks '

It seems that to many, missed the context of the question, It was not about parents that abuse their children.

It was about" falsely accussed parents"," innocent parents".

I was looking for information on these cases, NOT OPINIONS

1. I'm looking for websites that deal in this matter. (NOT State affilliated)
2. Websites that help parents that are falsely accused,

All my son does is aggrevate my daughter until she is in tears. Which in turn has her whining to me and I'm ready to hurt some one at that point. I guess he feels because he is an inch taller than me and a nice size in weight - what I have to say means nothing.

My almost 9 year old has ADHD followed with ODD (oppositional defiance disorder) and PTSD (post tramatic stress disorder). He takes Adderall XR 25mg once a day. All he wants to do is play on the PS2 or computer or gameboy advance. This keeps him out of trouble, and he doesn't fight so much with the other kids (he is the oldest of 4). However i am worried that the games are hurting him, because he doesn't want to spend much time with the family. I don't allow shooting or fighting games, so I know he's not getting bad behavior from them. His schooling isn't suffering, he is actually pretty good at reading and he likes math. His unsocial behavior worries me for his future. I have tried limiting his time on the games, but when he isn't playing them, he is fighting with the other kids, or destroying things. What is your advice?

I was. Not beatings, but spankings. It got to be very embarrassing by junior high. This was back in the 80s though.

I am doing a paper for school- about how it has been made almost impossible to stay at home to take care of children due to society as well as government.
If you are a stay at home parents, I would really like you to answer the following questions
-Why did you decide to stay at home?
-How can you afford to be able to stay at home?
-What did you do before you had children?
-What is your social life like?
-How long to you plan on staying at home?
-Do you think the government should help stay at home parents more? (Such as paid maternity leaves)

For parents that are not stay at home
-Do you want to be?
-Do you think you could handle staying at home?
-Do you think the government should help stay at home parents more? (Such as paid maternity leaves)

I have many more questions, and if you are willing, I would really appreciate to have e-mail conversation or IM conversations.
Thank you a lot in advance.

I'm a mother of 3 kids,2 girls and a boy.The oldest girl is 12.In summer she was raped and unfortunately she got pregnant.We spoke to the doctor and he says it's more dangerous if she aborts the baby and she would better give birth.Now(she is in 6th month) we found out that she is having quadruplets!That's 4 babies!My daughter didn't want to save the baby and wanted to give him/her for adoption but when she heard they are 4(it was like her best luck in the world),she decided to keep them.That means 7 children in the family(including her).I agreed because after the trauma of rapind,she has the right to decide what to do with the babies.Now (in 6th month) her belly is bigger than mine in 9th month.She has great difficulty moving and doing anything.How can I help her physically and how can I prepare her for the 4 babies?

Last night I asked if any of you formula feeders had tried to breastfeed first.

I asked this because I tried to breastfeed my son but he had reflux, and he would just throw my milk back up. But the formula he would keep down, somewhat. He is eight months old, and he is just now out-growing reflux. It has been a long and hard road for me. (For any who don't know... REFLUX SUCKS!)

Despite the fact that I formula feed, I hate formula! I am a breastfeeding activist. And it still angers me that I gave up so easily with my son. I have vowed to myself to do it differently with my next child.

And though I did not initially choose to formula feed, I feel that people automatically assume I did when they see me feeding my son.

What do you all think? When someone goes on a breastfeeding rant... And they have no idea that you DID try... What do you say to them? Do you ever feel guilty?

As if the Disney Princess Cult phenomenon hasn't done enough irrepressible damage, now this? My daughter is biracial, so I make sure she has both black and white dolls. But I'm afraid that American culture with it's Britney Spears heros are infultrating my home. How can I combat this? I don't want her to grow up to be self-loathing. God knows its common enough in this country.
