I'm tired of being treated like a freak because my wife and I cannot have kids. I find families in public to be rude, pushy and generally a nuisance to be around. I think most people have kids because it is "the normal thing to do" and put no thought into it. They just want the excuse to buy that gas-guzzling SUV. I find soccer moms to be about the most annoying people on Earth. I am SO tired of being asked if I have kids or when we plan to - our reproduction habits are NOT anyone's business! Why do you have to have children to be considered "grown up"? Does anyone understand that it HURTS my wife when they constantly bug her about it and/or flaunt the fact that they have kids? People with kids are NO more important than me!

I'm helping my church out with its parish's day care and was curious about what parents do to work on their kids interests and strengths without depriving them of having a good time. Some of the kids here are your dream children (brainy, handsome, polite, athletic, etc.), some are over specialized or half developed (the kid who's into trains but HATES (not tolerates) playing baseball, the girl that likes to dance and dress up yet refuses to say please and thank you while insistently screaming), and some are just ruts that never seem to have a good day.

Wada u guys think is the best way to help out and support these guys? I wanna do more than just deal with them all, but I can't help them all out all the time I'm there since I can only do so much.

I have two boys, 10 & 12. This issue first started last Sunday night (Christmas Eve). I woke up in the middle of the night because of a bad headache. I went into the kitchen to get a pill and the door was unlocked. (we always lock our doors at night). Thought it was funny...but I checked on the kids, and they were gone. I waited up all night in the bedroom to see if I could hear them come home...but I felll asleep. I confronted them the next morning, and they said they had just taken a walk. This happened again last night. I woke up because we had a major storm coming in, and the winds were howling. I went to check on the kids, and sure enough, they were gone again. This has been anywhere from 12am-3am that they are gone. Why would my kids be taking a walk in the middle of the night?

They help collect child support from habitual nonpaying parents. Is this a repuatable company? Do they try to rip you off? They take a fee off the first payment that they help collect then a percentage of each payment collected after that. Have you heard bad things about them?

What can I do to make her understand that girls should not go around with dirty clothes, unbrushed teeth,musky underarms, skipping bathes and her hair uncombed?It's like she just don't care. She is heavy and I tell her , if you are going to heavy that's one thing, but to be heavy and nasty is terrible for a girl....it doesn't work!!! I'm not like that...I don't know where she gets it from. How can I turn a moth into a beautiful butterfly?

I really don't understand why low income families have so many children. If you can't provide for 2 or 3 why do you continue to have more?

Do wish to live in squaller in your later years since retirement will never be an option?

I mean I see these kids in the mall using cell phones thats cost 200 dollars or more with all these features on them. If I was a parent and my kid wanted a cell they would have to pay for it. I understand if you need one for emergency purposes but just to talk on for these kids it stupid. I am not a parent but parents ruin kids today. Not all but a lot. We give me everything they want my cousin for example got a laptop, i pod and clothes for xmas thatis a lot of money for one child. Then when you ask em do something they complain. Kids in the U.S. are spoiled lazy in school and thye do nothing when they come home play video gmaes and watch tv its ashame. I am not trying to be cynical but most of our kids our being ruined.

My son is 22 years old and involved with a 20 year old (Married) woman who has a 2 year old girl. She left her husband and her and her daughter are living with my son who lives next door to me. She is pregnant now and drinks alcohol, they ran out of oil and I found out the little girl was sleeping in her coat at night. I feel so bad for this little girl and my son and I have had some serious arguements about how they are living. He drinks every weekend and he is layed off from work now and his girlfriend is not working either. This past weekend my son and his friend got drunk and his friend came to my house and fell in to my Christmas tree and knocked it over, he was upset because my son was in a drunken rage. I went over to try and get him to get his friend out of my house and he screemed at me to get out and called me every name in the book. This little girl that is living there should not be subjected to this am I wrong for threating them that I will call the father.

My sons are 18 months old and 3. I see no problem being naked around them at all. My husband and I never close the bathroom door, hell we have some of our best conversations on the toilet lol. I sometimes bathe with my sons, they've seen me on the toilet etc but some of my relatives think the children shouldn't see me naked. I want them to know what a female body looks like as well as male. I don't think nudity's a shameful thing. so my question is, how do you know when you're supposed to stop? Has anyone here never stopped at all? Women are naked around each other all the time, trying each other's clothes etc and but both my children are male so i'm a bit unsure of this one.

We have a 3 year old boy and a 6 month old daughter and he finally started interacting better with our son after our daughter was born but now he hardly does anything with her. He rarely holds her and when he does it's only for a few minutes and then gives her back to me, or if I am busy he'll put her in her bouncy seat or something. I've tried pointing it out to him and he just blows it off like I'm over reacting. But I'm not! He never does anything with her.

I mean I have poured everything into my daughter since birth. I could have given her up at birth, but I wanted to see if I could make a difference. After three years of struggling I met a wonderful man and married him, my soul mate!!! She hated him from day one even though he blessed her with everything. She made things really difficult between us especially when her two brothers came. She accused me of not loving her as much even though I assured her everything I was doing for them I had done for even better. Her clothes for infant life came from the finest stores theirs came from Wal Mart, her toys were store bought theirs sometime Garage sales, but even though she thinks in her Senior Year that we should sacrifice everything; so that she can have the finest of everything; because of her added stress I looked to alcohol for some relief, and she went and told the world I was an alcoholic. I find myself wanting her to finish school and just get out!!! I don't know this child!!!
