a child up for adoption. And that they have to try to find the biol. father before they can adopt the child out. They said all the mother said, was the fathers name so they send out letters to everyone in the area that the mother said. My brother has the same name as on the paper(he says theres no way it's his kid,deffinately not!!) but my thing is my father had the same name also and he died 2 years ago, and maybe it could be his( i didn't know his business like that). The child was born in 2003 in pittsburg, pa. We live a little away from there,and my dad traveled everyday. Is there a way i can find out if he would be the father??? I would want the child if that was the case. My husband and i have been trying for 3 years now 2 miscarragies.
Thanks so much sorry so long!!

This is regards to my kids. I'm a divorsed father of two, remarried now. The kids live with there mother. I get them every other wkend and basically everyother day. My Daughter tho, always seems to want to be with her friends and expects $. My son is sooo the opposite. I always want to say yes to her, but sometimes can't afford it. Today she asked AGAIN to go to her best friends b-day party. It just seems like shes going to one like every other wkend or doing something that requires money. Should I be the "great" Dad and give it to her all the time or not and be the one she sometimes makes feel guilty for it. I'm so bothered by this. Why can't she understand? I just hate the guilt.

My step daughter is a wonderful little girl and I adore her. but the problem is her weight she is obese and it is not her fault. It's what she is allowed to eat. When she is at our house (we get her every school holidays) she alawys loses weight because i don't allow snacking between meals and we eat healthy meals all the time, the kids also get sweets but only at meal times. I also get her out and about walking playing games making sure she gets some exercise. last summer holiday she lost nearly a stone in excess weight and looked great for it her clothes fit her better she felt better in herself and didn't get out of breath as quickly. the problem is the next time she comes she has gained all the weight back plus more but her mother refuses to help me help her to just be healthy. I am seen as the big bad witch who doesn't have a clue but I see the damage we are all doing to her with this constant yo yoing with her weight. I need some back up really am I doing the right thing?

If your baby has a diaper rash, does that mean your a bad parent? I heard the phrase before and wasnt sure, so you tell me.

Father wont talk to me and kids get yelled at if they tell me stuff. How do I confront him, without having my kids get scolded by him afterwards. My boys are 9 and 7 yrs old. Examples of abuse is the kids cant talk or mention me in there home. The kids don't bathe, I see them and there ears are dirty, skin has dried up dirt, hair smells. They are left home alone sometimes, they are forced to go to school when sick. Dad and step mom talk negative about me in front of them. They cant have anything I give them. It gets thrown away. My son was sick with a bad headache and step mom left him home alone and told him to go to school. He has a history of seizures too. They have to feed themselves breakfast and make their school lunch. Step mom sometimes wears long night shirts with nothing at all underneath, son has told me he feels uncomfortable about it. How can I get help for my kids without their dad getting mad? Kids are getting scared to tell me stuff do to fear of there dad.

My buddy's girlfriend's 16 year old daughter wants to use tampons, but her mother is against it. The mother wants her to use toilet paper instead. When i heard about this, i was wondering what the #ell was the mother thinking! This is not a proper feminine hygeine practice to teach her daughter! Using tampons is more sanitary. Personally i think the mother usually does not deal with a full deck most of the time anyways. Right now both the mother, and the boyfriend (my buddy) are unemployed. Money is tight, and i cannot see how they can eat using the social security money they recieve each month for their other child who is 10 years old that has had a heart transplant. Since the parents can seem to hold jobs i dont like to help them out anymore. They need a reality check, but i thought of secretly buying a 80 count box of tampons for the daughter. Should I?

For example if a parent has had a messed up childhood like lets say he saw his dad beat his mom everyday will his child come out bipolar or another problem like that like A.D.D or something else?

A senator in California is trying to pass a bill that would make spanking illegal, and punishable by 1 year in jail and 1,000 dollars in fines. Although I rarely spank, I feel that none of the states can keep up with actual child abusers as it is, let alone adding a new bill that will cost the state and DHS millions in trying to reinforce it. What does everybody else think?

My 9 year old daughters father spent 4 hours with her for the first time in 2.5 years this weekend. When he dropped her off she couldnt stop talking about how much fun she had and all the clothes he bought her. I encouraged her to be excited and keep talking and never made any negative comment about her father (I have never said anything bad about her dad to her or anyone else) but it was hard to see her put him on a pedestal when he is never around and I am. Any other mommy's or daddy's out there know how I feel?

The other day, I was out with a friend. We saw a teenage girl walking with her baby and my friend started making negative comments about this girl. The same day, we we were at the park with our kids and there was a teenage boy that had custody of his baby girl. My friend treated him like he deserved a medal. I did think it was honorable of him but it got me thinking. Why does society have different opinions about single moms than they do single dads? Whats your opinion?

I'm asking those women (or men if you want to answer) who stay at home and work (either just raising kids or employed from home) if they find it difficult to 'get ready' when you know you're not leaving the house. Now I'm not talking about being a dirty slob -(I do shower and brush my teeth) :P I'm just talking about dressing nicely and applying your make up and spending a lot of time on your hair. I'm 30, married and have 2 kids. I work from my home while my kids are at school. I don't know if I'm in a 'slump' of just not feeling like it, or if it's just part of being an adult and realizing the importance of everything else and knowing that makeup and hair don't always make the cut, lol.
