If my daughter starts listening to rock & roll music, will that lead her into a world of drug use, teen sex & rebellious attitude?

I'll start.. because I love these...

While running errands one day, I stopped in a shoe store to find some comfortable shoes for work. I slipped on these cute open toed pumps and proceded to turn my foot from side to side as we do when we try on shoes. My 6 year old son comes barreling around the corner, looks at my feet and says "Mommy don't buy those, they have a hole in them.. look.... your toe is sticking out... I'll find you a better pair!"...he looks on the shelf for a while and says.."You know what ...forget it....they all have holes.. I'll find you a nice pair somewhere else..".... I couldn't contain myself!!...

Gotta love a man in the making that knows NOTHING about cute shoes!!!

I have an eight year old daughter who recently insulted my wife while at a friends house. My wife was talking about joining the church choir and my daughter said " please you do not sing good at all" My wife was hurt and said " Really you mean that" my daughter said Yes, You do not sing good at all. My wife was embarrassed and her friends told my daughter that she was not being very nice. The thing is my wife does sing good. I think my daughter may be in competition with her mom. This would have never happened to me because I would have embarrassed her back by saying with a very stearn voice you will get a spanking when we leave, with that scary stare. But took it more personal and was hurt. Why would my daughter want to treat her mother like this in front of friends? Thank You for anyone who responds with good intentions. Thank You

Here's the deal, we have a five month old baby and I'm pregnant again, "surprise". I haven't told anybody, I'm terrified of course, but I'm very happy, I know we didn't plan to have a baby this soon but I'm so happy and this is a blessing. The thing is that, it wasn't plan and I'm afraid that my man will be upset about it, he might get angry, but maybe if I take him somewhere or do something special then he might not react in a bad way to the news. I know he's gonna be scared as I am but I don't want him to get angry. do you have any ideas of where or how I can tell him I'm pregnant again??? I want to do it in a special way, so any ideas I would love them, thanks for your help

What are you and your Family doing to prevent global warming for you children. This is a big threat for our children. I advise all parents (and non parents) to watch the inconvinet truth its a real eye opener. Did you know if we dont do something soon most of manhatten could be under what? Just by shuting your computer off saves engery ie helping to reduce global warming and it could save you $120 dollars a year. Move heat down 2 degrees and air up, prevents global warming and could save you $100 dollars a year. This is a serious threat for out children, What are you doing to help?

joe is my bf's son from his 1st marrage.the problem is joe wants consent one on one attention from my bf when he comes to our house,he even has to sleep with joe.joe is fine if he has a freind over to play with but if its just us he makes his dad feel guilty for spending any time with me.his dad can spend 9 hrs straight playing with him(which he does all the time) and then want to sit and talk to me for 15 mins and his son has a fit.he says things like "its my day to be with you i don't like this" i understand this is their "special time" but joe gets to be with dad every other day and weekend and 90% of the time he has his dads full attention. i also join in on games too.i believe the problem in part maybe my bf's exwife.she is very bitter and resentful of the divorce(even after 7yrs,he )and talks badly infront of joe about us.also she consently throws in my bfs face how he abandoned his family.my bf being a good dad feels guilty and gives into joes every wish thus spoiling joe badly.

to her father. i have custody of her and my ex sees her 1 or 2 times a week my problem is that he wont go by what is best for our child.my daughter is being to have a weight problem and i tell him what she can and cant have but it always gives her sugar stuff and lets her eat from the time she gets there till the time she leaves. he has never had a weight problem so i know he cant understand but my child is in the 2 grade and i know how kids can be how can i make him understand since he wont listen. by the way she thinks its funny when she gets stuff behind my back so shouldnt it be her fault too since she knows she cant have it. plus my daughter tells me she wants to eat healhty and loose weight. i figure since he doesnt get to see her much then he trys to make it up by spoiling her but he can do that without over feeding my child please help. only serious answers only please

A friend of ours had a BBQ 2 weeks ago & it turns out her kids had chicken pox. Luckily we didn't go, but some other friends of ours did and their children were exposed to it. Now, last weekend my husband vistied those friends and was playing with their kids for about an hour before they even mentioned the chicken pox exposure. What are the chances that my husband could have brought it home to our 17mth old daughter, and what are some signs to look for?

I have 2 children, an 8 yr old son and 5 yr old daughter. Lately my son has been acting up & nothing we do seems to help. He's in 2nd grade but falling behind. We've had him tested for a LD and they said he is learning within the range of his IQ (which means he doesn't have a LD) but his IQ is pretty low for a child his age. It doesn't help that his 5 yr old sister has a high IQ and is catching up very quickly. Last week he handed me a spelling test with a 100% that was obviously not his but he changed the name to his own, he had stolen it from a classmate. 2 days ago, he stole some money from his g-ma, only change but it's the point. Today I was checking his math homework and saw the writing wasn't his and he had a friend at school do it. We have spanked, stood him in the corner, grounded, made him write sentences, talked, yelled....I'm at a loss! He just doesn't seem to learn that he is going to get caught (he's a bad liar). What can I do to get his attention? Therapy?
