Parenting - February 2007

When a child is named after his father he becomes for example John Junior, but it isnt the same if a child is named after the mother? As you never hear of a female being either Janet Senior/Junior.

I'm afraid he embarrasses her there... we talked to him but hubby told him if he ever touches his sister he'll take off his belt and dicipline him...you think it might work?

Mom is negligent living with several boyfriends skiping apointments &was driving around with baby all night. I had stable 2bdr with 2yr old in my care at lest 6 days a week. I needed papers to permit me care so I went to court for 1/2custody with myself having primary custody. Our girl who I raised was kept from me after mom got served until court. My baby had gone year with no insurance & DHHS would not even give me this info.even though I had the baby.(I'm male) Now $2800 later, I have half custody(custody half the week)pay child support and provide 95% of the rides (one hour round trip) because I had no car when I was with the mother two years ago. I feel this was predudice & I was robed by the courts. Was I, or am I just being a jerk! Im now going to school f/t, work f/t, have our baby one day less than the mother yet pay the mother$300 a month child support. Im stil unable to enrol our baby in daycare etc.and owe$2000back health ins.Wat can I do?This is not best interest of child!

Im so scared to be a mother. Im 29 weeks pregnant with my first baby, im 19 years old, and yes the father is still around. I know im young, so no one start complaining about that please. I want to have my baby, so giving it up for adoption is not an option.

Im just afraid that i wont be a good mother. I don't know what to do with babies. i get nervous around them. Im always scared im going to drop them. They are so little.

My fiance is no good around babies either, he is nervous like i am. He wont even hold a baby that is less then 6 months old, hes afraid they will flop over or something.

I know this isn't really a question. Sorry if i wasted your time, im just worried.

My 12 month old son has always been a very easy-going and mellow baby, but over the last few weeks he's started to throw little temper tantrums when he doesn't get what he wants. He'll scream and swing his arms around like he's trying to hit you or whatever and he also stiffens up like a board, sometimes knocking you in the face with the back of his head when he's sitting on your lap facing out. I'm not quite sure how to handle this since he's so small. I've looked him in the eye and firmly said 'No', but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

my son is days away from 11 and is growing so fast and getting smelly... even though he showers daily and wears deo. i am thinking that he may be just at that stage but then i hear people telling me he is way too young that boys change around 13-14.
which one is it?

my son is very mature at almost 11 but as of yet i havent let him be at home alone for more than 5 minutes... if it even counts since i was down the street just seeing how he and his 7 yr old brother would react to getting off the bus and our not being home.
to my surprise the just came in and started their homework and got them a water.
at what age do you think i could run to the store alone and let the 11 yr old be in charge knowing he has a direct link to my cell and the neighbors ( small country town).

My youngest son age 7 loves to ride dirtbikes and races often, I love to watch a go to almost all of his races with my new wife and kids. however at times it bothers me that his step dad got him involved with riding and that when I am at his races I feel like that is him and my son's deal and he loves it so much that sometimes i also feel I cant offer something to top that with me. I get along great with the ex and the step dad but still have these feelings. also I think I hold back true excitement towards my son at his races because i dont want toshow the step dad that i like it. It is dfficult watching a relationship like that develop with the step dad. just wondering if anyone else is dealing with these feelings or if someone can help me to get rid of these feelings.

I don't know which party the child would be safer with: the mother or the thief. And, yes, most people in the Toronto area are this stupid.

Texas is about to pass a new law that would make corporal punishment on a child for any reason at home or in school a crime.I have my own beliefs on hitting,spanking a child(or whatever you want to call it).Do you think that Texas should be able to make corporal punishment a crime? Should parents be able to discipline their kids without facing jail time?

If you're taking the kids/nephews/nieces/etc. to the beach, what do you do to get sand out of their trunks and booty's after?

I've seen moms actually take their kid by the shower pull from behind their trunks and just clean right their with their hands.

How do others handle this?

How do you help them get it out?

As a single mom of a 12 year old son, where we live its extremely hot during the summer. To all you moms out there how do you feel about applying sunscreen and protecting your child in the sun?

Even if he is 12 when we go to the beaches, or swimming pools, it will be ME who will be slathering sunscreen on him because I think that If I do it my self, I will feel more satisfied and that my son will be protected much more.

I dont believe that "oh mommy is putting sunscreen on me" becasue its out jobs. I use 1 tablespoon of sunscreen per arm and 2 per leg and 4 for back and front, so I know he is protected.

what do you do to keep your children safe in the sun and at what age?
