I have a bad habit of doing things for people or feeling guilty for not trying to help. Unfortunatly this means that I haven't had a day to myself in 2 years. It's driving me mad because everytime I have a day off people ask me to run errands for them or look after their kids. I even had a friend asking me to cancel my plans yesterday so I could help him out and now I feel guilty for not doing it. So how can I be more assertive and say no?

My daughter in the past has been doing great on her own. My x and I helped her with $ as needed. Kept the baby as needed. I'm really worried about the baby. How will she deal w/being away from mom? She loves to come visit but I know she will miss her mom. What do I say to her? What do I do when she is missing mom and mom isn't around? So worried.....any advise helpful.

Is it that big of a surprize that your children dont behave when you do not disapline them? And yet the bad parents out there keep popping out the kids...Way to go...What is the point in having more when you can't control the ones you have?

Suppose a minor about 16 or 17 gets kicked out of school, they then through a year and a half get back to their zoned school. After being there for about a week they say that they would prefer an alternate school. You cooperate and they are waiting to be registered. In this time, you'd assume that they'd be looking for a job, but they arent. Instead they are getting high with their friends. You have two kids and when you ask the 16/17 year old why they were getting high with their friends you think "...but my other one is the exact opposite..." Now this kid got kicked out of thier original school for the exact same reason, and he/she was over the withdrawl symptoms and on the way to success. You've just come to find out they have stolen four hundred dollars from your atm account. First thirty dollars then eighty next one hundred and lastly two hundred dollars. When you confront them they say thier friend is in some trouble and that they'd be killed if they didnt come up with the money.

I have always tended to think that most men don't respect women the way they should and often use these women for sex and fun, rather than treat women as equals to be won and validated.

If women are upset with this, why don't mothers tell their sons how to be good people and good husbands. I think that it would help things.

My wife and I plan on adopting our first child a few years down the road from China. The conditions in the the orphanages are awful, and though the opportunity to be a great father for the rest of my life is priceless, the process is very economical and babies are available. We will probably have one or two children naturally after the adoption.

My intentions are to give all my love to our adopted daughter, and treat her no different than as if she was my own, but as adopted children grow older and realize where they came from, is it hard to keep a parental bond with them? I would love the opportunity to be a loving father figure for this child for the rest of my life. Is there anything I can do to help our future daughter feel like she has a permanent place in our family?

Does anyone else seem to have this problem? Last time he was gone I had 2 kids throwing up. This time all three have a terrible head cold. The oldest (not quite 7) also has an ear infection while the youngest (not quite 2) has a fever of 102.5.
I just want to know I am not alone in this. It is not a fun week and he will not be home until Monday night.

It seems like a good way of keeping track of them, say, at the grocery store, and may actually encourage a closer bond between parent and child.

She has been doing this for @ 4 years now she is very intelligent and knows that lying is wrong but she is afraid to tell her mom the truth because she knows her mom will be mad at her. So if she has the chance to put the blame on me she does then her mother calls screaming at her dad. The Lie... she wanted to post some pics on her myspace account when her mother asked her who did it she said (Step Mom's Name) did it and didn't even ask me. I could care less what the lie was about the point is, is that she lied we have explained why it is wrong but she continues to do it. I have asked her why and she basically has said because she knows she can say I am sorry and I will forgive her vs. her mother screaming at her and grounding her for something she wanted. What would be a good discipline action that we can take so she knows that lying is not acceptable and so that she will hopefully not do it again?

will that allow me to become as judgmental as most of the people on here? I will then have an "out" right, god forgives all so I can judge everybody who doesn't think like me all I want and i will be forgiven? I see so many judgmental pieces of crap on here it makes my head spin, what can i do to ensure my child does not grow up to have a holier than thou attitude?

I am a parent that is single and I have a one year old daughter and it has been a great experience. Lately it has been hard for me to make money and I recently got put out of my 3br home. I now stay with my sister that has no compassion for my situation. We kind of bump heads alot in which dont help the situ. She takes my love for granted and then think that her behavior is exceptable. I cant take it no more and I have no where to go. And I need some help as to what I should do. I try to work things out with her as far as our relationship goes and there seems to be no hope right now. Do you think that adoption is a good answer for this situation. I have no support. And I need to try to better my life for my daughter's sake. I do want to be a good mother to my daughter but I am unable to get out there in the world to do the things that I have to beecause I dont have the right support to get started. This is hard for me to deal with. What should I do?

My 9 year old son Raymond has autism. A problem we have with him is that he has trouble talking, so he pinches, hits and sometimes bites to get people's attention. He goes to a special needs school, and therapy but there's nothing they can do to make him stop. He can talk, but says very little... didnt start talking till he was 4. Any others out there who have this problem or just can offer some advice and support? Thank you
