We haven't caught him in the act yet or with the money on him, but he is the only other person in the house! He's been in trouble with stealing money before we got custody of him. We are beside ourselves and don't know what to do. I don't trust him at all and he knows that. He's a very sneaky kid and he lies all the time! Someone help!

People mention a bad example, no morals...


But according to the christian god for example.


Do to others as you would have them do unto you

Or the Pagan one

As long as you harm none do as you will.


Well posing topless, nude, being a astonishly well paid pole dancer
(ie fit, eating well, exercising, earning £800 a night = to a house in two yours and no mortage of debt, making buck, 18 and 21s birthdays memorable and fun, and comforting lonley people)

Besides dancing is fun and I like music.


All are sex based but whats wrong with consentual sexaul activity?


If your husbands did not think you had nice breats and want to kiss and feel you up... you would not have gotton close, fell in love, gotton married, and be parents of kids you love.

You would be mates thats all.

So I really dont get it as according to the guidlines above to be a bad example or be immoral you have to be a

bully, bitchy, nasty, mean, negligent to others safety, a cheat

My friend has a 14 year old daughter with whom she has terrible trouble. Her daughter has changed into a very nasty child and she cannot cope any longer.
I have been trying to help her by searching the internet for help groups or organisations or counciling of some sort, but all I can find are commercial courses / books / religion related homes etc.
Aren't there any social or mental help organisations for dealing with family problems like behaviour in teenagers?
I also suggested to take her to the GP, but that is not an option as my friend is mighty unhappy with the surgery she is with (and yes, she did try to change surgeries... but that is another question).
Many thanks for all your help.

Should new moms get a once monthly girls night?
Ok, my best friend is 24 and her child is now 8 months old. Last month we decided we needed a "girls night" and when she came home she was in a HUGE fight with her boyfriend. He says she chose to have a family and that is where she should be at all times. Her parents agree with this and basically flipped out on her when she told them she had plans for a girls night this weekend. They all seem to believe she gave up her LIFE. What do you think, is a once-a-month girls night out ok? Her boyfriend agreed to let her go after they had the huge last fight but he will not be happy about it. Help please I gotta know is this what everyone believes? I am a mother of two and I see absolutely no problem with this and my boyfriend doesnt mind me going out. Are we not normal or what? Mothers need time to relax and breathe, what good is a cranky stressed out mom ya know? Whats wrong with a couple drinks and a pack of girls having their girl-talk?

A situation arose on the weekend where the children (3 and 6 years) of a couple visiting my house bagan throwing things around, hitting our pets and screaming loudly (our toddler was asleep). I asked them not to throw shoes at the window because it would break. I asked them not to hit the cats. They continued as if I hadn't spoken. Their parents did nothing. In the end I picked up one and took him away from the animal he was hurting to his mother. He got such a surprise he began that someone was preventing him from doing what he wanted that he screamed and tried to bite me.

Later, my wife told me I shouldn't have touched him. The parents may have been offended that I disciplined their children.

Your ideas please. Was I wrong? If so, what else should I have done?

Thank you

Okay so im 20 years old but I want to know if you consider this child abuse or neglect or something like that.

My parents have 3 girls, me 20, a 22 year old and a 15 year old. I am 115 pounds and have always been thin and been active and in HS was on track and cheerleading and I have always loved to work out and exercise ,eat healthy and can not stand being in the house.

My two sisters are the exact opposite,they have always sat at home watching TV or sleeping and eating junk food and my parents allowed them to do that, they bought them the junk food and never tried to encourage them to go out and play.

My Daughter is almost 5 months old and is sleeping in her own crib. For the last 4-5 nights she is waking up every hour or hour and a half, screaming and crying. She is awake and has real tears, I let her cry for a few minutes but her crying gets worse. as soon as I go into her room, I try the pacifier and will finally pick her up and within seconds she calms down and falls back asleep. I put her back in her crib and this happens all over again. She has a night light, and soft music I can put on. She has no problem falling asleep in her own crib. I wonder why she isn't staying asleep. Could this be night terrors? Any suggestions?
She also takes a warm bath and is full before bed. She doesn't sleep much during the days, but at night she normally sleeps, 3-4 hours at a time. This is something new and I can figure it out.

I am talking about mothers who think they are doing their children a favor by teaching them wrong morals, by raising them up the hard way, rejecting them by always putting yourself first.

They will get enough of this from the world, mothers like myself doing a great job trying hard to not let the world mess my children up, how this happens; children that come from disfunctional homes, poor parenting skills. It's not about you, step up to the plate, you brought a child raise it right be in that childs life, dont have children to tie men down! If your marriage goes wrong be a mother no matter what. What makes you a woman is to carry a back bone, no man will make you complete. When men see this you have a lot more respect, if they see an ignorant women putting a man first, depressing all they see is a volnurable woman who will be taken for a ride. Put your children first, love yourself to find that true love. Your children will be there for you tomorrow, and thank you. Trust no man!

I read somewhere that there is a formula some pediatricians use to determine 'roundabout' future height for a child. Just curious to know for my son who is on the small side. Thanks.

My wife and I have a 3 year old daughter. We need to know what we can do to make her listen. . I know she's only 3 years old, but it's time for her to start listening and minding. . . . She throws things at us, spits at us, and yells at us. . . Most of the time she will listen to me, because i will spank her butt if she does. Now, my wife she will not listen for nothing. She has spanked her, and everything else we can do. My wife thinks she's the problem, because she can't spank her and make her mind. Is there anything we can do? My wife is about to lose it.

I'm staying with my in-laws (father and mother) for 3 weeks while my husbands in CA training for a new job. I have a 10 week old that I have never been away from, and though it's probably a combination of hormones and lack of sleep and missing my husband, I feel really protective of my son. My in-laws are wonderful don't get me wrong, but they're also really grabby with him, and don't ever hand him over when he starts screaming they just fumble with him thinking they can fix it. I think he just wants me sometimes or needs to eat (i breastfeed) or be changed. Today he started crying and I went to get him from my father in law and he said no lets give him to grandma!!! And she has a habit of calling herself "mamma" to him which I've tried to correct and she says it's just a mistake?????? Anyways I don't want to hurt feelings or make it uncomfortable here but, how do I let them know I'm a first time protective mom who wants to bond with her still very young son, without them getting upset

I'm in the middle of a custody law suit, I'm the petitioner. Due to the fact that I don't know the address or location of the respondent, I am being advised to pay for an ad litem in order to get the case underway. Can someone explain to me what this is? I have a brief idea, but don't feel like I understand it completely. Is this a good thing? I mean, will the ad litem be working for my benefit? Thanks in advance.

Hello! I'm about to turn 31 years old in April, but haven't found Mr. right yet, but my biological clock is ticking. I am afraid i'm probably just too picky, and haven't really had any second dates in a long time. I'm considering adoption, but not quite sure what adoption agencies look for in qualifications. I live in an apartment, and make enough to where I could support a child and myself, but my credit hasn't been all that good in the past, but it is now getting better which i'm thrilled with. Could someone please let me know what adoption agencies look for, and if they place children in single parent homes? I couldn't adopt someone with special needs as I don't think I could financially support one, but I would be able to do say a child under 10 years. Thank you ahead of time!!

One day, a boy (6-years old) goes to school, but upon learning that the regular teacher wasn't around, he asks the substitute teacher, "Where's Mrs. Jones?"

The substitute teacher replies, "She's in the hospital today, she just had a little boy born today"

Curious, the boy prodded on, "But where did he come from?"

"Who?" asks the substitute teacher.

"Her little boy" answered the kid.

Uncomfortable with discussing it with him, the substitute says, "Why don't you ask your mommy?"

Later, after school, the kid goes home and asks his mom, "Where do babies come from?"

Again, uncomfortable with discussing this matter with her son, she hesitates, then politely tells him to ask his daddy.

So he goes up to daddy and asks: "Where do babies come from?"

What should be daddy's reply? =)

***BONUS QUESTION***: Why does it seem that daddies always end up with these kinds of questions and not mommies? =)
