Parenting - February 2007

I see some of my friend's kids they are kinda spoiled. I just wonder why they don't hit to discipline them and train how to be an obedient. In asia if the kids are likely stubborn or seemingly learning bad behaviours the parents would hit them, not s everely but it would also hurt the kid. Do you think hitting is a good way to discipline chidlren?

Why do parents worry if daughter is dating a metaller, or say green hair, opunk, raver, goth or other alternative type who looks different?


As all I remember is all the fights, gang activity, serious drug use, knifings, shootings, kicking to death, trouble, jerks getting girls drunk to shag them, date rapes, drunken yobbery etc etc...


All occured in the trendy, smart dress clubs and scenes.


Whilst all the freaky goth, hippy, raver, metaller etc etc type clubs had people into the music, a community culutre where all looked out for each other.


If someone was older and bigger, they looked after the younger ones, made sure they were ok and got them home safe.


People made out in public areas all kissy paw paw but safe.

There was a culture of you fall down all around you pick you up.


Pulling shy wall flowers onto the dance floor and getting them involved.

If drinks spilt nobody cared or if bumped they bumped you back and had fun etc.

The cops also said

I just trying to get a feel for how much other states/districts push state testing also called standard assessment. Do you think its pushed more since the implementation of No Child Left Behind.
I am wondering because my district seems to really focus on it big time, even to the point of pressuring the kids that if they dont do well the federal government will take over the school and the teachers will lose thier jobs. It seems they study all year in prep for this exam.
So what are your expereinces with state testing in your district?

Ok now id be going for late teens early twenties not mid teens or younger... but when was younger all up to mid twenties... we all hung out in mixed age groups..and dated down to mid teens . ie when 16 there were mates in twenties, when in twenties,mates in 16 Plus (as that age could go clubbing... usually peoples younger or older siblings...

So no plot.

But as all these parents thinking all older guys say 18year old and a 15 year old... or a 23 year old and a sixteen year old seem to have these looney tune deluded hysterical fantasies.


Probably as they dont go clubbing and to parties any more and forgot what it was like.


Where they think all older guys are devient, pyschotic baby eating manipulators, who worship belzebup looking for a virgin the sacrifice alone with ten garaffs and a goat, who are part of global terrorist cults acquiring nuclear weapons who only want to have some sort of demented sex bringing about the end of the world, caring nothing for others and

my 5 year old daughter has just gotten over chicken pox but is still quite sore with spots...I need her to go back to school tomorrow as I can't have any more time off work. The school says this is ok for her to do. I don't know what is for the best as the last thing I want to happen is for any of the other children taking the mickey out of her. Any thoughts?

i was wondering how many parents can really handle if their kids dont meet their expectations, like for instance, what if their gay? what if their bank robbers? what if they have a dull job? what if they gain 300 pounds? what if they end up having a deformity? or what if they are just the type of person you wouldn't have liked? what do you do then?

i got this idea from watching a show about gay teens coming out. a lot of their parents became abusive, etc. i think in a way, the parents were disappointed, because they had high expectations, but the kids didnt just end up gay, they ended up hanging at bars and fooling around. so while one can understand their disappointment, at the same time a kid need unconditional love or its going to be sad. in fact, being mean to a kid because they dont meet your expectation could kill the child. they could die of a broken heart.

That is so bull.


Look logically.

Who has so many offeres and has it so easy they can demand the other one pays for meals, cinema, expensive trinkets to impress them and have that sex compete over them?


Over and over and over again I have seen girls 16plus (age on con) even 15 year olds

ALWAYS more experienced then the guys...


Where the guys are the shy ones, the inexperienced ones, the lonley and needy ones who dont have a clue about the basics of chatting up and charm and kissing well into late teenas and early twenties...


Whilst all the girls were rarely without a boyfriend or getting like 20 offers a night in clubs and parties for more then a few weeks.

The guys were more sensitive, often having been hurt over and over scared to even ask the girls out.


Whilst the girls had all the confidence.


Several could beat up the guys if they annoyed them.

It was always the guys getting dumped and hurt and upset as they girls could be so picky

The law does not allow for IGNORANCE as an excuse. allowing the poor child to be obese just because the mother can't be bothered to buy proper food is first degree child abuse and should result in one of the parents going to prison for the same length of time as if they had burnt him with cigarettes or dipped him in vomit.

I moved in with my boyfriend and his 6yo son In October. And i need to know how to approach this. My BF seems a little lazy to me. He has job that gives him a lot of free time at home. But he doesn't send much of it interacting with his son. He will watch TV before sending time with his son. Few examples. He proud of the fact that his son is a independ child. But at six how independent can he be. I give him complete attention when helping him with his homework. My BF will watch TV and read the directions to his son. But still be more into the TV. At bedtime he wants tucked in. My BF response is not tonight. But he's only laying down hisself. Not like he is getting ready for work or really busy. And few other things that really get under my skin. How do I say the obvious without calling him a lazy *** or worse a Bad parent. I just feel at that age he a lot more attention.Because of things i have witnessed. Like still putting his shoes on the wrong foot. He pouts alot. And

I am gd boy now.I was spanked when I misbehaved and did sth wrong. For some serious situations or I still laughed when I was spanked,my mum would take my pants down to give anther spanking.Then I may ask to stay half naked for a while without my pants on.

At that moment, I was really shy to have punished in this way. I really want to have my pants on asap. Unfortunately, I needed to have my pants down even my neighbour came to my home. I think that my aunt may not notice that I was punished to have my pants down. However, her daughter(aged 3 that time and I was 9) must know that. I just wonder will she still remember I was punished in front of her as she is 19 now.

Honestly, my mum did not often spank me, but I think I was sure deserved it when I was spanked. She always issued the warning first by saying:"if you still .....then i will pull down you underwears in front of your cousin(girl,same age as me)to spank you".But I tried to challenge mum's tolerence.Then she really did it

Basically today I noticed a suspicious looking car driving around my apartment complex primarily focusing on my apartment in particular meaning the person would stop in front of my apt and then take off real quick and before seeing the car i would get three loud bangs on my front door and by the time I got to the door I couldn't see anyone through the peep hole. Then later on this evening I was coming back from the store and seen this same car parked in front of my apt sitting there my fiance' said the car had been there for 30 minutes just sitting there staring at the door. It is nobody that we know and I have a real uneasy feeling about this I have a 15 month old little boy and I am home alone all day Tuesdays and Thursdays til 11pm because my fiance' works from 5-4pm and then teaches from 5-10:30pm I am so nervous about being here by myself with my son. I have notified the cops and they are doing what they can but I still have an uneasy feeling that this guy might try to hurt me

82% of Americans over 30 have kids.....yet only 27% of those over 25 have a college degree!!! If you can afford a child (180K) how can you not afford a college degree (30-50K)? Lord knows the latter is more useful in highly competitive American society!!!!

Ok let me try to sum this up. My friend leaves her 2 kids w/ a licensed sitter. Her ex who does not financially support his kids has asked to see them like 2 or 3 times. Their arrangement is he will let her know when he wants to see them for a few hrs and he will pick them up from the sitter during the day while she's at wrk. He has no job. She lets the sitter know what time to expect him & the sitter makes him sign in and out of the day care ctr she has. Out of nowhere he shows up, interigates the sitter, threatens to have her licensed taken away & she tells him that she cannot release the kids to him unless pre-authorized by the mom since she is afterall, employed by her..not him cuz he doesnt help pay for babysitting. Yes, he DOES have a legal right to see his kids but I see the sitters point of view. He doesnt care about the kids, he just wants to upset my friend. What can she do, that is still legal, that can stop him from trying to take the kids unannounced? Any advise will do.

Hi, I recently just broke up with my jerk of a bf, We have a 3 month old son together. What do you think some of the guidelines should be for a visitation between my son and his father.

There will be NO over nights stays until he is at least 2... and I really dont want him left alone with his father too...

and do you think I should make him pay child suport? how much should I ask for?

Thanks... i'm pretty well ticked off at him, and I'd be ok with my son never seeing his lying, cheating dad again, but I know its best for him to have 2 parents... My judgement is filled with bitterness and anger at his dad right now, but I want to give him a list of guidelines to go by, please help me! ALso there is a chance that his dad may be moving out of state....
