My son started 7th grade, in Australia that high school, we discussed what was expected of him. We extended his bed time by an hour and gave him 1 hour of tv in the evening and set aside 1 hour for his homework. The school gave him a diary to keep his homework assignments in. In the 3 weeks since school started he has only completed a few things, either not writing them down or just lyeing about what is expected. I started by grounding him from the tv. Then toys. Then everything but books. So he started getting into things like my purfume just to make me angry I think. And today, Sunday, when I asked to see his weekend home work he had not finished it. He has nothing in his room, what could he be doing. When we packed his toys up I did not see is Gameboy and with homework not done I asked again he told me that it was packed. I told him I was going to go through all the boxes and if he was lyeing I would spank him, something I dont do, he admitted it was I his bed. So what do I do?

I have only been a member of Yahoo Answers for about 8 months, but I have noticed how many people take parenting choices that other parents make, and determine that those choices make them a bad parent. This is something I have never come across, until I came upon Y!A. I have had other parents call me a bad mom or stepmom simply because they don't happen to agree with me on certain things. I have also seen it said to other parents. A parent says they spank their kid: their a bad parent. They leave their kid in daycare: their a bad parent. They don't get along with their stepkids: its their fault and their a bad parent. Where is it said that just because another parent doesn't share your views on parenting, that they bad parents? Or that you are better than them? There are 1000's of different views on parenting, and just because someones are not the same as yours, doesn't make them a bad parent, it simply means they don't share your views. Why do some parents think they are experts?

yes, i know that difference..

I am sick and tired of all of these ads on t.v. that have these sickly and dieing children, that what you to send money to a foreign country.

OUR COUNTRY (USA) NEEDS TO PROTECT AND SAVE OUR OWN CHILDREN!

I know that people are going to disagree with me...bring it on.

Is there not some way to sterialize the mothers of these baby's??

Dont get me wrong...i have 2 kids of my own. i'm just saying....IF YOUR NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR KIDS......THEN DONT HAVE THEM!!!!!!

STERIALIZE ANY WOMAN IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY THAT DOES NOT HAVE THE MEANS TO SUPPORT CHILDREN.

wouldn't our world be a better place if we did??



THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY OPINIONS

So our children are on the journey with us. I can look back (and she is only seven) and see 'mistakes'. Is this normal? i don't regret my journey. I am glad I am becoming a better parent (and am a good parent). So how to make peace with the past errors?

I have to create a workshop for parents and am looking for ideas. If you had a choice, what kind of class would you attend on parenting? What issues interest you? Discipline techniques and dealing with handicapped children are examples of what kind of workshop i'm talking about. I would appreciate any feedback:)

I just came back from a friends house, there was a bunch of us moms there, chit chatting, well the kids were off playing. The lady who owns the house has about 5 cabbage patch dolls from when she was a young girl and has kept them in perfect condition. She lets no one play with them, not even her two daughters, and they stay in her room on a stand. Well we were there one of the older kids went in and took the dolls and was playing with them with the other kids. The ladys child came and told her and she went and took them back, a few of the kids got upset, as most kids do when you take something from them, and their parents were mad that she took the dolls from them. She explained the situation, and they told her to let go. One reason she keeps them is because each was bought from a special person in her life, and they have passed on, so they have a lot of meaning to her. Do you think she should let go, or were these other parents wrong in making a fuss?

are fat as hell, looks like slobs with mickey mouse shirts on and cheap pants and 3 kids can afford to drive new vehicles (yes Im jealous) I was at walmart and you see it everywhere, fat moms with brand new suvs, tons of crap in the cart and kids who dont listen. I keep myself slim and healthy and Im a good mom whose kid listens...Im jealous because Im starting to think that to have the nice mom things, you have to let yourself go and not care about hygiene, then your man will buy you a new vehicle and house...

Every time that my son begins to cry I cradle and cuddle him until he calms down and the I return him to whatever it was he was doing. I'm starting to notice the cries are coming more often just so that he can be picked up. Everyone says i'm spoiling him and no one is going to want to keep him when I return to work. However, I feel like if it's a problem that he's having that I can fix, I should fix it. In my opinion, all new babys should be treated that way. My son is 2 months old.

My mom and dad are so unfair to me. I'm in 7th grade and got a spanking with my pants and boxers down last weekend for sneaking out when I was suppose to be grounded when they left me home alone. I was telling my mom this week that I am to big to get punished like this. She told me that I am still "just a kid" and they will use what they think works. I am kind of short for my age and a lot of people think I am 9 or 10 but I am practicaly an adult.

How do I make them see that I am little kid anymore and what makes them think I am still a kid?

okay me and my brother who is 8 were working on a project in the garage and we took my dads spray paint and kind of got a bunch of it on our faces, hair, legs, arms and clothes. i'm 13 by the way. anyway we tried to sneak inside without mom seeing and tried to wash it off but it wasn't working. mom did find out and she completely humilated me. she had us go down to our underwear and told us to go upstairs and wait for her in the bathroom. my sister saw us to. anyway mom came in the bathroom and started filling the bathtub and told us to take our underwear off and get in. i didn't want to but i didn't have a choice. she got some chemicals and helped washed the paint off both of us. it was so humilating and it took over an hour to get it off. i am not a baby and i think that this is so embarssing and stuff. what can i do?

My mom took me to a fitting room at the store, pulled my pants down and spanked me. We were supposed to meet at a point in the store at a certain time. I was a bit late. I wanted to report her. Should I still?

What is your opinion on having condoms in your house, your teenager knows where they are (because you told him/her) and make it known they can take them if they need them? Of note, you preach abstinence but you don't want them to be unsafe if they decide to go against what you preach. Do you think that is hypocritical? P.S. I don't do this, but I know people that do and I am on the fence about whether this is right.

My husband and I are pretty particular about what our boys watch and play with. We have some family members who know about these boundaries and despite our polite requests still send these types of gifts. When it's a token of love for our child, should we take it away from our child when it directly conflicts with what we teach, or should we attempt to explain why we don't do it..and let them play with the toy? We don't want to breed self-righteousness in our kids..but we also be consistent in how we run our home.

My son is 3 and I don't believe in spanking so we to the timeout thing....which works for us. But my fiance gets so angry at my son and gets in his face and SCREAMS at him!!! If my son is not answering questions properly he will flick his ear or cheek. He even used to pinch his legs if he wasn't cooperating. When I see this it enrages me and I actually go after my fiance yelling at him to leave him alone. I have even punched him in the arm because he NEVER listens to what I have to say, about his disrespect of my son. So I just want to know if him flicking my sons ear or cheek in wrong?? He does not pinch him anymore as I told him he better stop or I will leave him. So please tell me how it is....

My friend, mother of 2(boy 3yrs & girl 8yrs), just got into a new relationship with a guy, father of 2 ( girls 3 & 4 yrs) His kids live with his ex, but he DID have visitation. Recently a situation arose, where the 8yrs apparently touched the 4yrs girl in her private area according 2 the mother of the 4yrs girl. Then she denied the father visits. When confronted the 8 yr old denied it, but after being pressured she confessed. But now the mother of the 4yrs girl says that the 4yrs girl says she DID NOT touch her, but tried. My friend now wants me 2 talk 2 her 8y/o cuz she normally talks 2 me about stuff that bothers her easier than her mom. The story doesn't add up. If the 4y/o is changing the story, it would mean, the 8y/o lied. ( Which I think she was in the first place when she confessed.) I don't think she touched the girl, or even tried. I think that the mother put her girl up 2 it cuz her and the guy had a bad break up & wants 2 ruin his new relationship! How do we find truth?
