My son is 19 and wants to go to Florida with his girlfriend, who is expecting a baby in July. Her mother lives there, and they think she is going to help them find a job, buy a car, etc. I am totally freaked about him leaving. I would rather have them move in here with me and my other 2 kids. Should I let him go, or put my foot down? I am so scared after they get there, the girls mom will put my son out, and it is so far away. We live in Michigan right now.

I have a new baby boy who is almost 4 months old. He has slept in a bassinet in my room every night since he has been born, but here lately I have been wondering when the right time to put him in his own room would be. Any suggestions?

The same thing happens every year at Christmas in our house. Lots of new toys and the old ones are still everywere. I have three kids 19mnth boy, 3yr girl, and 8yr girl. What do you other moms do with all the toys. We have Bratz, Pollies, Barbies, craft stuff, coloring books, ect. How do you organize it all? And keep the babies out of the big kid stuff and the baby stuff from taking over the house? The girls share a room and the baby is in our room until we finish renovating our basement, could be another year until that is done.

SOCIETY IS TEACHING OUR DAUGHTERS THAT LOOKING LIKE A WHO-RE IS ACCEPTABLE. LOOK AT THE BRATZ DOLLS. THEY ARE NOT CUTE. THEY LOOK LIKE SEXXY BI-TCHES. LITTLE GIRLS HAVE NO BUISNESS PLAYING WITH THEM. LOOK AT THE BOTOX LIPS ON THEM. WTF IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY ?

Do you remember doing something bad and your parents would spank you? Do you remember how, when spanking was done right, that made you do what you were told, and even respect them? Now take a look at our children today. Even with all the timeouts, our children are getting more out of hand... Are we as a society forgeting to teach our children that we are the authority figures by putting them in time outs and trying to talk them into understanding the whys and hows of things? There is more crime (violent and non violent) than fifty years ago. Could spanking or not spanking having an effect on our children and our society?(or to put it another way) Are we trying to hard in our society to be our childrens friends rather than teach and discipline?

I was walking home from school in 9th grade and a kid who is my size in 7th grade threw a rock at my head and hit me from 70 feet away, dazing me a bit. But I kept on moving home. I found out that he wanted to fight me. When I was 7 this kid was in a crowd of kids who surrounded me to get me to "fight" this 50 lb gorilla from the next road over. I weighed 30 lbs. He swung first and I ducked just like I had seen on Sparky and the Gang. So I swung and hit him in the nose and blood flew everywhere. I thought I had killed him and ran to my mother and he and the other kids ran to the next street. Anyway the 7th grader went home and I went home and told my dad about it. He told me that I should just fight the kid. I did not want to and convinced my dad to go over and talk to his dad to get this ended. My dad did and the kid never bothered me again. My reasoning was that if I won that fight, someone else would want one...Wyatt Earp thing.

I dont get why some parents dont mind it all unless you come home and wake up safe the next morning. Those parents only get mad if stuff gets broken or they get caught which is very understandable. Then there are other parents who will hear rumors of you drinking and go crazy about it. They dont want you to have a social life even though when they were kids they did the same things. I just dont understand the thoughts running through there minds. If you dont do it every weekend or when you do come home your not trashed and can walk straight I dont see a problem.

My 2 kids have lots of toys and books, most are given by aunts and uncles- they have 8. This xmas I bought them 3 gifts each and they loved them! However many family members thought it was stingy and mean. A good friend of ours spent $4000 on their unborn baby- clothes, toys..not including nursery furniture. I dont want materialistic children. On their birthday they get 1 gift and choose a place to go out to - the zoo, museum, park, e.t.c... What has happened to people, that they think the amount of presents given to a child is is a measure of their love? Do any parents here feel the same way or does the christmas, birthday- gift giving guilt get you everytime?

I have friend you yells and cusses at her and her boyfriend's kids. If anybody says anything to her, she gets all defensive. How do I tell her she needs to stop; it obviously doesn't change the kids behaviour. If anything, they act up more.

Her mom doesn't make her use them at home. I know I am short, but I am 28 years old. I look like a teen, but am an adult, so I feel the child needs to respect that.

My daughter is having a birthday party next week. When we were doing the invitations, she wanted to invite everyone in her class except for 2 kids. I explained to her that that was not nice, and about how their feelings would be hurt, blah, blah, blah. One of the 2 kids mothers left me a message today. She said that John would love to come. And did I know that John had a twin brother, Mike, who is in another class at the same school and would it be OK if he came also because he would be upset if his brother did something and he didn't.

I am so annoyed at this!! My daughter didn't invite him because she doesn't freakin' know him! I know I need to cool down before I call her back to tell her that Mike cannot come!

I should also add that I am having the party out - and have to pay per child. I really don't think I should even have to explain this to this mother. I really want her to know that I am annoyed that she would even ask me this - I have a hard time with nervy people.

I need take a class about raising a child because I got pregnancy at young age at 16 and I am struggling because I feel like Im not doing everything right but my daughter is a good girl because my dad and my step mom help me a lot. I need take class so I can learn more about better role model for my daughter and all that. My mom did gave me a lot of love but her role model is not too good and I learn some in wrong way and I don't want my daughter to follow like me or my mom. I have very bad habit of saying s word and Im trying my hardest to stop saying that and stuff like that so that why i thought if i take class that will help me realize more things and be better mother to her. What name of class should I look up in internet and I live in memphis, tennessee so I really need eduation to how to be better parent and pls don't judge me of what I said and i really love her very much!!

I never thought I'd be a Mom and now that I am one I can honestly say that I love my son with all of my heart & soul. But I still have no interest what so ever in other kids. I have nieces & nephews but can't be bothered by them. When people talk about their kids I find my mind wandering off to grocery lists or only thinking about my child. I could care less about other kids.
Is there anyone else out there like this? Will this maybe change when my son gets to be older & then there will be more kids around?
Please no abuse...I know it is shallow & unkind but I just want to know if there is anyone else out there like me

My husband and I have been married for 15yrs and he has two daughters from a previous marriage.I practically raised both of them along with five of my own kids.They are 18&17&both of them live at home which is convenient to a good school.Last week Kayla the 18yr old told us that she is 2months pregnant,this is one of our worst nightmares as she is very bright and has just started studying law,we are both strongly against abortion so it is not an option and we want her to keep the baby.She has been with her boyfriend for 2yrs and we know that he will support her.We have always warned the girls including my 12yr old that if they get pregnant that they could not live under our roof or count on our support,something that was meant to be a deterent.Now faced with the reality we want to support her but we are afraid that if we don't follow through with what we said it will look like an empty threat to our 2younger daughters,one of which is also in a relationship.What would you do?
