My sink is filled up with dirty dishes, clothes all over etc...I am so mad at my husband right now I can scream! Is it just my husband or does this happen to anyone else?

I want to contact the social but dont want her to know it was me, how would anyone else go about it i've spoke to my ex but she says that she cant always be around her 24/7. is she more interested in getting wrecked or about my daughter?

My sister inlaw refuses to put her 2 year old in a toddler bed. He is constantly climbing out of his crib and has taken some pretty nasty falls from the 4 1/2 feet up. Hes been lucky to only get bruises on him from it. The bad thing is he has hemophilia so even a bruise is a bad thing for him especially. She says she doesn't want to put him in the bed because she doesn't want to have to get up with him in the morning.

We've tried everything we can think of to get her to do it.. telling her to suck it up to even buying the bed for her.

Can you give me any ideas on how to convince her its time?

Chris has been drinking out of the same spout cup for several years, even when we purchased several of the same type he would not change to a new one. This was due to the shape of his old spout, this is now unusable and he will not drink from a cup. We have had to thin out his yogurts with milk to get enougth liquid into him.Any solutions?

pro and con of being over-protective of you child, teen or college student? My mother is over protective to the next power Im an adult and she still has this over protective thing over me. My sister was a bit aggressive so my mom wasnt so much over protective with her but im passive I have gotten degrees and have been good whole life but my mom still see me as a child. I think because of my mothers over-protectiveness throughout the years was the reason I came home after graduating from college. its a bit stressing because my sister did dumb stuff as a teen and young adult and my mom gave her freedom I never could do anything but go to school and my mom be on my a** like white on rice.my mother wont listen to me about her being over-protective but my sister who wasnt over-protective she has her own everything car, house, whatever; meanwhile me who my mom has been so over-protective I have degrees but I cant drive,im afraid of failure. People tell her the pros/cons of overprotecting?

My daughter’s school are planning a residential trip for October, at an outdoor activity place in Devon, 4 hours drive away.
The trip is Monday to Friday, no contact aloud as it only upsets them!
Many of the parents are concerned.
This for most of the children is the first time away from home.
Should the school find somewhere closer or should it be a shorter trip (3 days maybe) or are we all just being over protective?

Number 1. Teaching them no fear of God(love for God).not teaching manners,morals ect...
number 2. Taking their kids into Tattoo parlers, partying , drugs and drinking in front of them!
number 3. Beating the kids instead of loving them and guiding them ..the parents pay more attention to their friends and computer chatting ect.... them wonder why they (kids) are dysfuntional..they take out their RAGE and Depression and problems and take it out on these innocent kids which did not ask to be born. There is a diffrence with spanking and abuse!
Number 4. They cannot disipline them with love encouragement and guidence.

Are you just going to tell them what it is? Or are you going to explain condoms, or stds, or maybe an abstinence only version but still explaining what sex is?

Dose anyone know of a way to adopt that dose not cost an arm and a leg. My husband makes a good living but not enough to pay 5,000-50,000 dollars for adoption fees. I am a stay at home wife. The most we could pay at one time is about 2,000. We have looked into domestic and international adoption but cannot afford ether one. Private adoption is a possibility but I cannot find info on the subject.

For example.
I was at Target yesterday
and the lady had, Id say a 4 year old and the 4 year old was sort of wandering, doing her own thing, but not more than, 12 feet away from her mother. The mom goes, "olivia, im going to spank you if you dont get over here" so the daughter came closer, the woman got louder and repeated herself. By this time the girl was about 5 feet from her mother, Then the mom goes, "Thats it Olivia you are getting a spanking!, and gives the girl a spanking in public, alot of public, and puts a leash on her!!
ITS LIKE HEY LADY SHE WAS 5 FEET AWAY FROM YOU, not a big deal! and totally embarrassed the little girl. I wanted to smack the lady.

My daughter is very well behaved and when i did get a stitter they loved her. Also the ecomony is so bad that kids can get a job at the coffee shop for $9 an hour! I moved here 6 months ago and just can't find regular babysitters for shift work

Ever since my husband and I got married we made plans on all the fun things that we would do with our child(ren). Well we have a two year old son and it seems like there is no time left in the day. The past two years have flown by and not a single plan that we wanted to do has been accomplished. So we decided to slow life down a bit and try to spend more special moments with our son. I remember a few plans that we made but not many. So, what are some things that you have planned for your children or that you have done with your children?

We been working on it, he likes to sit on the potty and I have been reading the books. We quit for a while since we both we getting frustrated. My 10 month old daughter is starting to take two short naps a day. She only took one today. I don't know how I can be in the bathroom, playing with her while cleaning my house? They say to let them be in training pants and I just can't keep on cleaning up pee. It's not healthy for both of my children. My daughter crawls. Even if I clean it up, the urine is still soaked into the wood. (I have wood floors) What to do?

He arches his back and throws his head backwards whenever we pick him up or put him down. He doesn't want to be held, but he doesn't want to be put down either. And he screams so loud that his voice goes hoarse. But then other times he is perfectly happy to be held and to play on the floor with us. Are we doing something wrong??
