Here's the story as I know it....
The father and mother hooked up once threw friends, Afterwords the Mother wanted nothing further to do with the father. (oups, the birth-control failed) 10 years later, the mother file's threw the court for childsupport after finding out how well off the father is. (wants a piece of the pie). In court ordered that child support be granted, but no back child support is owed the mother because father had no idea of a child existing until now. Visitation was also granted to father. That happened 5yrs ago, and the mother has been in contempt of the visitation rights granted the father sence the ruling including going as far as moving 300 miles away from the father to prevent contact. the Child has no relation with the father.
The Father always pays his childsupport none the less, without seeing any options, But has a family of his own (wife, ect.) The mother (who married 1 month after the ruling) and has children from both halfs.

Recently I had changed my job hours to part time, because I couldn't handle my son (5) being at daycare for such long hours. Everything was going great, until his daycare provider told me she has health problems and can no longer watch any children. Now I have a daycare dilemma. This lady was great and very decently priced. I have interviewed other daycares in the past and I know there are 'crazy' people out there offering daycare. As most parents know it is terrifying leaving your child with some one new. Community daycare is another option, but is extremely expensive compared to private care. If I were to use community daycare I would have to go back to full time. My Husband has told me to stay home with our Son. I would love to do this and I know financially we would be fine. The problem is, I just can't seem to go ahead with it. I just can get over the feeling I will be doing something wrong by not working. Has anyone ever felt this way? What would others do in this situation?

My 12 year old stepdaughter is turning our house upside down with her temper tantrums and hateful words. We ground her, take things away but nothing changes. She is in therapy already to help her learn to deal with her temper. Does anyone have any suggestions to help improve this situation?

What do you have to do to go about adopting a child? Do you have to make 'x' amount of pounds per month/year? Do you pay to adopt? Do you have to go through a church?

Please note the following question may contain sensitive religious material; please keep your response to yourself if you're just going to preach! Thanks
--
My husband and I are both atheist; however, both of our sets of parents are Catholic. Obviously, since neither of us have any sort of religious beliefs, we didn't even consider baptizing our 6-month-old son. To our devout Hispanic Catholic parents, in their eyes, we have already condemned ourselves to hell and by not baptizing our baby, we are sending him to hell, too. Every time we visit both families, we receive flak for not having a baptism yet. We both have the belief that religion is a personal choice, and if our son chooses to follow a certain faith, he should discover it and embrace it on his own, not be forced into it from infanthood like my husband and I were. How can we help show our parents that our parenting decision is going to stick? We don't care that they think it's wrong--we just don't want to hear about it.

I was in college when I became preggo with my daughter and had to leave for awhile until I got things together. Well, unfortunately me and the father aren't together but he is there 100% for me and his daughter. I am living at home with my dad, and I have to get out of here. I am not allowed to make my own decision as far as my daughter or myself. It is ridiculous. So here is where I need the help, the father of my daughter and I were talking and he brought up how she could go live with him while I finish school and work that way it would be a lot easier on both of us. My dad is so controlling that he won't let the father come over and just see his daughter when he wants. He made me go through the court system to set up visitation. (it's still in process) So he hardly ever gets to see his daughter; only when I can bring her over. I would just feel like a horrible parent if I let her just -go- with him. I know I would be eventually helping both of us out in the end. Any advice?

If you do, why do you allow it?
I really want to know why it's allowed, when nothing good comes out of it, especially not for the girl. She's not finding her future mate and the teen boys are certainly not looking to get married. So why?

I was extremely angry with her at first but then I realized it was her parent's lack of discipline and coddling and self-indulgence that allowed her to do this...my question is how much of child's actions are to blamed on the parent and how much the child? Thanks!

My wife have 3 kids. I only have mine 2 days a week. When they come over I really enjoy spending time with them. She gets jealous that things change when they come over because I like to spend time with them. She says I don’t show her daughter the same attention unless they are here. Thing is I have a son and a daughter. She has a daughter. I don’t know what to do with the girls but my son is a guy and I enjoy the limited time I have with him. She’s saying I don’t spend the same time with her daughter. I don’t. Not even with my own daughter. I love them but my son is a guy and we do guy things and he needs a dad when he’s here because he has no male role model most of the week. I told her imagine if you only saw your daughter 2 times a week. Wouldn’t you want to spend time with her. She also says when they’re here I don’t spend as much time with her. Duh! She’s 30 and my kids need their father when they are here. I feel like also she shoved her daughter in my face and said “here love her like your own”. I’m trying but it also takes time and her daughter has me all the time. I even drive her to school every single day. Something I don’t even get to do with my kids. Seems like she’s expecting too much and her jealousy over my kids makes her very unattractive to me but she doesn’t understand. What can I do?

Here is our dilema, our son has befriended a kid in our neighborhood that we know has had a rough upbringing. His parents went through a nasty divorce a few years back and both of their kids were dragged through the mud. The boy my son is friends with has in the past had some serious behavior problems. He has been in trouble with the police, dropped out of school in grade 9, dabbled in drugs. Anyway the point is alot of kids in our community do not like this kid and now they don't like my son because he is friends with him. I am proud of my son because he chooses his friends based on their personalities not because of others opinions. Now what is happening is my son is being threatened by these kids and they showed up at his school yesterday to "teach him a lesson" I raced to the school to pick up my son. Now the emails we are getting from these kids are filled with name calling, threats, and ignorant statements. Now I am aware that my son has probably shot his mouth off to these kids.

but we had no money. now i have a steady job, and we can afford holidays, i want to take my fiance to bali for a holiday, and really let our hair down. but my fiance insists we take out daughter. when we are planning to leave, she will be over 12 months old, and both our parents have offered to mind our daughter for the 5 days we will be away. i cant believe that i am feeling resentlful of my own daughter.
are there any other first time fathers, or mothers out there who have experienced the same thing? i love my daughter to death, but feel like i am a bad parent for wanting to have just my fiance and i on a holiday.
what do people think?

And I'm amazed that so many people think that using a 'harness' means that parents are treating children like animals by tying them up...but surely it's safer for us to have these reins than to have an extremely excitable child run out into a road and get hit by a car, or to have them run off and get lost in busy shop, or abducted!

Isn't it time that people stopped criticising those who just look out for the protection and saftey of their youngsters?

Oh- I'm not saying that those who don't use them aren't helping their children be safe though! Don't think that just because you choose not to use them I'm saying you don't care about safety, I just think that those who use them shouldn't be yelled at for making the decision to use reins....

My younger sister (in 20s) has 3 kids, no job, and lives at home. My parents provide everything for all of them. Babies' daddies (2) contribute nothing.

I'm the aunt who loves these children dearly. I do what I can for the kids and visit regularly so I get to see all of this: Sister allows kids to be indoors with her smoking boyfriend and his family (kids get asthma and bronchitis); gives the kids soda and chips for breakfast; puts them to sleep in their street clothes; screams things like "I'm going to kill you!" (and the "F" word) at them; acts like they're a burden and rarely shows them love/affection (and the list goes on)

Sister is a very gruff, unmaternal, angry person (always has been). She's impossible to communicate with and screams at us if we try to make gentle suggestions.

The kids mean the world to us, but they're HERS, not ours (which she's quick to remind us). How can we fix her mistakes in child rearing before it's too late? Or is it too late?
