I used to shower with my 3 year old daughter but I stopped becasue my girlfriend who lives with us (but she is not my daughters mother) said I could go to jail for it. But she and my daughter still shower and bath together. What is the difference between me and my daughter showering together and my girlfriend and her doing it? We are both 17 so age would not be a factor. Any opinions?

A friend of mine referred me to it and I am sooo glad! I recognized one of the offenders and he lives on my street! Being a mom, this is a big deal to me, so I really hope this helps some other people out. God bless.

The reason i dont' want to is because churches go against so many of my own spiritual beliefs. And I don't want all of my friends to be religious, because I feel I have to perform in front of religious people so they don't go home and pray that I will convert and change. I want people that accept me the way that I am without the need to change me or save me, when I am happy in my own beliefs and raising my kids with morals within my beliefs.

So SHOULD I join a church for the 'community' of it? Even though the very thougt just grates on me?

The couple in question have shared custody of their children (7 and 9) The mother does not want to pick up their children from their father's place and does not want their father to pick up their children from her place when there is no school or day care. She only wants to exchange their children from a MacDonald parking. I want to emphasize that there is no reason whatsoever on her part to want to exchange children in a MacDonald parking. The father wants their children to be exchanged at their respective home because he believes that they are not commodities and is about respect and dignity. The children do not want to be exchanged at MacDonald parking either, especially the boy saying that he is not a hamburger. The father is suggesting, if she does not want his place or her place, at least to exchange them at a family home when they are with her but when they are with him, he wants them to be pick up from his place. What do you think?

i have 2 boys, 3 and 5.
When my older one was born, i never bonded with him. I know it sounds horrible, but i offten wish i'd have had an abortion (and i don't believe in abortions, i was adopted).
When I got pregnant with my 3year old, i loved him instantly, from the moment i did the test.
It came so naturel...
Now, my 5 year old is trying so hard to get my love on a daily basis. He'll play up so he'll get into trouble, he'll throw himself at me when i hug him and just doesn't want to let go... i know he does it cause he knows i prefer my 3 year old, i try to hide it, but he's very smart...
I know i hug & kiss my younger son every opportunity i get, yet i have to force myself to remember him... I feel like a terrible mom cause i favor my younger child. How can i love my older son? How can i finally bond with him and care for him as much as i do for my baby?
Do you think it was caused by postpartum? How do i fix this???
Thank you for your help.
Melanie

I am writing a story about a single mother, I wanted to know what are some things you guys go through with your child(ren) and the fathers and all that, everyday? Teen mothers would also help to because the girl is 17 with a son.

If my mom starts fostering a 8-13 year old girl, would she be able to share a room with me, a 16 year old girl? We live in Ohio and I know some places say the foster child needs their own bedroom, but our house only has 2 (very large) bedrooms.

What do you think of parents who never say "No" to their kids? Who don't correct their kids when they can see they are being rude infront of relatives and friends? Who cry when their kids yell at them? LOL Don't you think that's freaking wimpy? I do! Grow up and be the adult and stop trying to be your kids "friends" above being their parent! Grow a freaking backbone! What do you think?

Is my cousins daughter my 1st once removed, or 2nd cousin?

Also, is it ok to have sex with her or is it still "too close" in terms of relations? Thanks.
