Okay my son is seventeen and lived with his grandmother but she let him move in with his 21 yr old friend whos a guy and is studying to become a socail worker.

She has his custodety and my daughters because my husband was abusing my son and I didnt know he never told me when I was in the courtroom I thought that he was lying, so I screamed at him the whole time.

Now I'm married again to his father's brother and he really cares but my son won't come live with us because he said he's tired of me calling him names (I only called him a slut once, -.-), but hes scared of my husband because my husband locked him in the closet when he told my uncle he had to do his homework.

Do you think I can get him back? I really think so, my other husband didn't hit him that hard, they only left brusies because my son allowed it to happen.

I have tried time out. I have tried everything I know and I cannot control her talking back. I feel like every night it is the same thing. She does not respect me. I feel like a horrible parent because I cannot get control of her. She does not act like this for her dad, it is only me. My husband works midnights so most nights it is just me and the kids. It is much worse when my husband is not here. My daughter is 4 and she has just started pre school.

Question for all of you, looking for your input:

What would you do if your mother choose a man and stuck by his side over her own kids? Even if he threatens the kids...what would u do?

Ive written her off for a week now but feel so guilty. But she let her boyfriend THREATEN me and didnt stop him. How awful is that? Right in front of her and now shes making me out to be the bad guy...

This all started when i caught them lying to me and they freaked out being caught in a lie and then he threatens me!!! What would you do? Thankyou

Two of our boys wet the bed. They are 6 and 11. I am using youth diapers on both of them. The 11 year old was using goodnites, but recently they started causing him problems so we switched him over to his brothers tena diapers and we haven't had any problems since.

Here is the problem though, tomorrow night my husband and i are going out and our sitter is coming over. Our six year old has no problem with the sitter knowing about his bedwetting but our 11 year old is pretty sensitive. We are planning on being out past 1AM and I have no desire to be cleaning wet sheets when I get home. I figured i'd just have them both ready for bed and in their pjs when the sitter comes over... tomorrow at 6, but it might be a little early to throw a diaper on both of them. Does anyone have any suggestions? The sitter knows they both are wetters.

I met my now husband online. I moved here the same day his 19 year old son moved to another state. It has been almost 3 years and he keeps quitting jobs, never has made it on his own since he has been there. Last night after my husband saying he was done, he still sent him money. This is a bad thing. My husband gets so upset that he won't talk to me for days. I always listen for his body to hit the thump on the ground. Not good for him. But, it is getting to where I am the one who suffers the most. What do I do? How do I find an equal ground? I call them the Andrew days. The days that he is so pissed and stressed about his son that he won't even talk to me. Any advice at all would be awesome.

I have a darling 1 year old niece and although her parents love her and take care of her, some things they do have me worried. For example, the baby will get a fever and her mom will refuse to give her tylenol and just says, "Babies get fevers." Or she'll let her play with things like pill bottles ("Oh she can't get the top off") or she won't really watch her. I can't tell you how many times my niece has climbed on things and fallen and hurt herself because her mom won't watch her. Her parents are educated and upper class, so I can't understand why they are so stupid when it comes to their child. Sometimes I worry about my niece's safety, but at the same time how they raise her is not my business. At what point would you, as a loving relative, intervene, or would you?

I have 2 boys ages 9 and 12. My husband brought home a Snap-On calendar that has women leaning against cars. They are not naked or even in bikinis. They have skin tight clothes on though. My problem is my husband wants to put the calendar in the boy's room. I don't want him too. He says I am to much of a stickler about it, but I just want my boys to grow up respecting women. Am I wrong or is he?

Ok i want to know peoples opinions on this. My husband doesnt want our son to believe in Santa, or the Toothfairy, or the easter bunny. And i kind of understand his point. When he was growing up he didnt believe in them for the simple fact that his parents thought that if he did and then later realized they werent real he would question his belief in God. I understand what he is saying. Does anyone have a opinion on this.

It would be one thing if they had a amicable relationship - they have never spent time together before. She constantly calls him, not the girls, telling him she loves, wants him back etc, she even tells the girsl she wants him back. He lied to me about spending the day with her and then tried to justify it by saying she is there mother - I feel it was inappropiate - they don't have that type of relationship and it was confusing to the children. Am I wrong to feel that way. I should add - she lives 450 miles away, sees the girls 2-3 x a year for a week at time, does not pay child support, is asking us for $ all the time, and does not have custody because she chose her bf over her children. She cheated on my husband numerous times thruout there marriage.
