Parenting - March 2007

My daugher was sent to daycare 4 1/2 days ago with a FULL(regular big huggies pop up) box of wipe and now they said she had to borrow wipes from the other kids?!?! Do you think there is somethign fishy going on? Like maybe other kids are using her wipes? I mean I dont buy them for the other kids? What should I say to them? Should I just bring one of those travel size wipe box every day? She only goes 2 days a week and stays from 8-4. What do yall think?

I was in the grocery store the other day and three little girls ran right by me and one bumped into me and fell. She started crying and told her mother it was my falt she fell. I am tired of parents not teaching their children manners and how to behave in the store and everywhere else. What about you? Do you let your kids run wild?

I thought three was a good age to start socialising him into the world. Should i tell him off when he picks up cigarette butts and tries to light them with his zippo. Also should I tell him off because he throws stones at passing cars???

I am looking to open my own daycare next year. What is important to you when you look for one? What do you think of the name "Guess Who's Happy"? The name is in honor of my father (the name of his boat and a long history to it). What are your concerns when choosing a daycare? Thanks for your opinions.

For your information i am 17, my dad is 46.
On Wednesday my dad told me to clean up my mess in my bathroom. He said do not take all night. I am cleaning-up, until he says that I am taking 10 times slow. I said that I am half way to being done you idiot. Then he told me to do not give him another hard time. He thinks that I can clean my mess up in 20 minutes or less. I am trying to explain to him in his face that I can get it all finished in 30 – 40 minutes. Whenever I try to say anything to him weather if its something good or bad, then he just gets paranoid, I do not know what else to do about it. I just cannot take it anymore.
Whenever my dad rushes me at anything I feel so much of stress on myself. When I feel stress on myself then I do not get along with anyone weather if it’s at home, school, etc.
I feel like I just need to get his attention by doing the following
suicide, runaway, etc.
What can I do about my dad’s problem?
And
How can I deal with it?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I read this book when I was ten from my mother. It's the most heartbreaking book I've ever read. It gives parents and other people a whole nother out look on life with kids. Has anyone read this and felt heartbroken. If anyone says no I think you should read it. It's by Eve Krupinski and Dana Weikel

I like to think I am a modern-ish parent, but we need our space and time, and I like to enjoy that space.

My fiance's daughter is 2 and only points and can only say mommy and daddy. My mom says should be saying more than that and I thought girls grew up faster than boys in that area, but my nephews could talk in full sentences by 2.

How do I get child support if the father is not on the birth certificate? I do not want him to be on there because he is a threat and a danger and I have a PFA against him. Is there anyway I can get some money but not give him any rights. Daycare is soo expensive and my full time job hardly covers that plus living expenses I just need some help with the daycare cost and I do not qualify for any other assistance make 1,000 too much.

People always warn about putting large blankets or pillows in cribs. So what age is best to give a baby/toddler a flat pillow to use at night?

I saw on Dr. Phil one episode about this woman who wouldn't let her daughter play with "ugly" children. Whether you have the same views or not, tell me what you think. Thanks!!

When she goes to school she always want to wear those ugly glasses! And I try to make her wear contacts. She looks horrible in her clothes so I made her do some lunges as a punishment and now her @ss looks so much better and plump. Lately she's been throwing up her food, and I whoop her @ss everyday just to remind her its not cute to be anorexic. I Also made her do some more lunges so her butt wouldnt look flat, and she said kiss my flat @ss! I was outraged I'm trying to help her look good but she wants to look skinny with no curves! She's mad at me because I got butt implants and I told her if she make good grades I'll get her some too so now she makes bad grades on purpose! Im thinking about moving to an extension cord! What do I do with a skinny little brat who gets on my nerves???

My son is 18 months old and although we've always done the "No, don't touch" and remove him from the situation thing, I am wondering when we should start using the "naughty chair" approach. When he's tottally out of controll (not very often) I have put him in his room and shut the door, but he can open his door, so it's not long before he comes out.

I have a son who is 1yr in june, also I'm expecting again end of June. I thought I'd try to train my daughter before the new baby is born otherwise it's just going to be left. She has had 4 dry nights in over 2 weeks, and I'm really tired. I get up twice a night to take her to the toilet, I would be greatful of any suggestions.

First she dug into a pan of brownies that I just baked for him. Then after I mixed up another cake and put it in the oven, I left to take the bro to school, and she was instructed to check it when the timer went off to be sure it was done, then take it out. She took it out, but the middle was obviously still batter. She bakes all the time, so should have known it wasn't done. Now I have to bake a 3rd dessert because she ruined the first 2. I am SO MAD at her! She is mean to her brother all the time. Serious advice only please.

My 3 yr old yells a lot, in fun and when he's mad. He just makes loud funny noises sometimes when he playing, walking around. When he is scolded by me he even grunt loudly made up words like "Gock!"
He speaks very well, have been told my educators that he has vast vocabulary and talks clearly.
The problem is #1 when my 5 months is sleeping I am trying to keep him quiet so that she won't wake up and he doesn't listen and of course it escalates into a time out and# 2 frankly it's very irritating.
Am I expecting too much of a 3 yr old by telling him to lower his voice all the time? Am I just making him want to do it more ( I think so)? Is it not fair to him that he can't express himself?
What do you think, ignore it and if the baby wakes Oh well or try to teach him to have more control of his impulses to be loud at this age?
