Parenting - February 2007

This is going to sound weird... but any parent with a child in diapers will probably know what I am talking about. I have two kids in diapers, and sometimes one of them has this really gross poop that is difficult to wipe. It isn't thick, but it has little rubbery granules or grains in it that just go everywhere when you try to wipe it off. It is very messy! My question is, does anyone know where these kinds of poops come from? Is there a certain food that causes poop to have these little rubbery specks in it, something I can avoid giving my kids?

I'm doing a survey- I want to know what the reasons are mothers who are married go to work- besides the normal "financial" answers. This question specifically targets mothers who have to use either daycare or nannies. I would like to know what they actually take home monetarily after the child care is paid for and if that really makes a difference in the end? How many hours per day are they away from their children? and Do their husbands pressure them to go to work or do they beg them to stay home?

You shoot your 13 year old daughter with a giant rubber band in the face? I didn't mean to but we were playing and it happened. Oh, gosh I could have shot her eye out!!!

that's whats happening in new jersey and parents are outraged. their showing these little kids a film called "that's a family" and it deals w/ homosexual couples and their kids. telling our children basically that 2 men or 2 women is alright.
what do you think of it?

You never get pay, and a vacation is a day where you don't have to leave the house 100 times for another errand or chore. You deal with runny noses, dirty clothes, dirty dishes, vacuuming, mopping, dusting, washing everything and picking up after everyone. Would you give up a job that pays 10.00 an hour to cuddle your kids, clean your house, love your husband, take care of your family and help produce confident, unabused, self-reliant and educated children? Studies show that many children in day care centers don't get the individualized attention they deserve and need to get the most of our attention and individual respect as a person.

All the time I see children back talking parents, cussing at them, stealing, sneaking out, and other outrageous things. How can parents prevent that, and what are they doing wrong?

A 21 year year old shares a 10 ftx10 ft bedroom with a 12 year old. The 21 year old sleeps on a twin bed. The 21 year old ofcourse eats atleast 2 meals a day, takes showers every 2 days, uses electricity, and washes his clothes once a week. He also helps the 12 year old with homework, cleans the house, and helps out with dinners, washes dishes, etc. He also has to deal with a drunk alcoholic every other night. How much do you think would be a reasonable price for rent?

That no matter how much time passes, no matter how old he gets, or how much you age, how many years pass, that you will always look at his eyes and see that precious little newborn face?

Its so unreal how much you can love such a needy crying person who deprives you of sleep and sanity.

Do you mom's of grown children still see them as your little babies? Are you any less in love with them now, even after all the hard trying times you went through raising them?

My 13-year-old daughter has been having sex with her 16-year-old boyfriend at least several times.I heard about it the day she told me she was pregnant - that was yesterday.I told her she will abort the baby but she refuses to listen to me.She all the time cries and yells and keeps saying she wants to keep the baby because it was her boyfriend's baby too.Her boyfriend doesn't care about it.He told she could do whatever she wants to with the baby.She doesn't want to go to councelling and I can't force her,she is 13 and it's a little bit impossible to MAKE her do something physically.She says she loves that baby.I spanked her - it didn't help.I yelled, criticised,did everything and she just refuses to abort the baby.How can I make her understand she is not ready to have a baby???

My BF and have been arguing for months about the fact that he lets his 12 year old son watch R rated movies, as long there is no sex or nudity. Endless swearing and graphic violence are common in the movies the kid watches, and the boy does have emotional problems.My parents were strict and I was a bit sheltered as a child, but I think R rated violence is to much for a troubled 12 year old.

Here is the situation, I watch my brothers two girls one is 11 months and the other is 7. I have the 11 month old from 630am to 630pm Monday thru Thursday. They pay me $75 a week. I have my own kids to take care of on top of them I have a 4yr,2yr,8mo. of my own and I feel that I am not giving enough attention to my own children. I feel like I give all of my attention to my neices. The 11month old is a hand full she cries over every thing. So that is what I do. My family and I are planning on moving out of state so I have alot of things that I need to do for the move but I cant do it with my nieces here. So I guess my question is how do I tell them that I can not watch there kids. Part of the reason is I just cant handel that many kids right now because of the ages so I need some advice on how I tell my brother and sister n law that I can no longer watch their girls. Please help. I really need to know what to do...And thanks in advance for all of the advice.
