They tell you not to do something, but when your back is turned, they do it themselves!!!!! And when you ask them why you can't do it and they can, they say it's because they are the adults and they are allowed to...

WHY?!!

It's not. I used to work in daycares back in the 80's. It's not new age. Furthermore, sending a child to his/her room was being done when I was growing up, and even when my parents were kids.

My boyfriend is 21 years old, has no kids and is a peace officer for a local department. I am 23 years old and a volunteer for a local EMS service. I have a two year old little boy, who is my world. My boyfriend was disciplined in a way that I do not agree with, and he is not allowed to disipline my son in that manner. I believe in spankings with a paddle, and only on the butt. His father disiplined him with what ever was close. Now I've already explained to him that my "Mother Horns" will come out and he will see a side of me he never knew existed if he ever did anything like that to my son. But I want to help him realize that, just because he never did anything wrong because his dad beat him(so to speak). That it is the only way. I really need help. He is a great and caring guy, but I see us fighting over this in the future and I want to be prepared for it, and hopefully wing him my way before it becomes a serious issue.

I live in a nieghborhood where the parents do not give their children space. I strongly believe that my children (7&9-they are only allowed outside without supervision ifthey are both outside ) can play outside without supervision and they are old enough to understand boundaries, make right choices, handle conflicts or know when to tell a parent. Three neighbors disagree, when the children move, they move they are almost attached to their children.I want my kinds to grow up to be independant and not have to rely on people for everything. I am an allergy sufferer so I do not spend much time outside, I check on them from time to time. The mothers informed me I need to supervise my children if they are to play with theirs, I do not think I should have to changes my values. One of the mothers even called the school twice to say my kids are unsupervised, my husband had to meet with the principal and youth officer who agreed it was an issue of values. Moving is not a choice, what to do?

I am 33 and have two absolutly fab boys aged 17 month and 3 month. I loved being pregnant and love being a mum even more. Material things mean very little to me and I'm all for the children. I'm tempted to try for another at the end of the year but everybody I've spoken to thinks I'm totally mad. Apparently the 3rd child is the one that tips the balance.

Any experience on this?

I have posted a few threads before regarding my daughters dad, to cut a long story short he is a high amphetimine using and shows no intention of coming off, the case has been going to and from court for more than two years now. He at the moment gets an hours supervised contact at a contact centre on a monday from 6 - 7. In the past around twelve weeks he has only managed to turn up on time once, last week he was over half an hour late claiming it was because the clocks went forward and he'd forgot! Tonight he was again 15mins late and before I went I'd decided that I was going to wait the 15 then go, which I'd tried explaining to her the best I could and that I would make it up to her on Tues. She was a bit upset about having to go, but unfortunately on the way out he come zooming round the corner on his bike, and looked all gormless like nothing was wrong, so for a change I send my piece to him which I do bitterly regret because my daughter who is five was ther though i wasn't shouting or anything, he come up with feeble excuses which never seem to ring true. He was a violent partner which resulted in the break-up and seems to have been on a downward spiral since then which was over four years ago. I was young when I had my daughter and was very much scared of him, I'm not now which is why I believed I spoke my mind to him.
What would you do in this situation? I have got an appointment with the solicitor so will be getting his advice as well. He failed to turn up to court on the last appearance and is usually always late for that as well, i think the judge is getting fed up with him and his own solicitor definately is. I don't believe he gives my daughter any of the emotional or parenting support that a child needs and I believe she needs to know where she is at, she can't really be going to a contact centre forever and I can't see him changing his ways. I really thinking about stopping the contact all together and sitting my daughter down and explaining why, but without slating her dad just so she understands, then deal with the consequences from the court because I do believe I would be completely justified in doing so or do I perservere with it and hope for the best. This is really having bad affects on my own relationship and me mentally now an dI don't no what to do anymore

I am a proud mother of 2 daughters. They are 3 and 1. My husband and I are trying to save up to buy a house, pay off old debts, and get our lives on track. We both work full time, make lots of money but it seems like by the end of every month, there is nothing left over. It just seems like there is no way to get ahead of the game and I always feel guilty when I look at my children. I want them to have a good life and I love my children to death. It just seems like you work your *** off to try to raise your family and its all for nothing. After paying bills, rent, car payments, insurance, groceries, there seems to be nothing left over. Lately I have started to feel really bad about everything and seeing my kids makes that feeling even stronger. Am I a failure as a parent?? Or do I need to just lighten up and take things as they come. Thanks for any advice in advance!!

I was wondering if your son asked if he could wear colored underwear(briefs) to school? What colors did you buy , Did your son ever say how kids at school wear different colors? What influenced your son to make the choice to switch?

If I had kids, I'd tell them no cell phones untill their 16 with a job so they can pay for it. (maybe I'd help them to get a good one.)

There are so many questions I could ask about this 1 topic.......
How do you plan to educate your child about his/her heritage of the absent parent?
How do you implement that into daily life; or do you?

Need some ideas.

I put this really funny advertisement on his dry erase board which says "Dans Bed and Breakfast" " free internet, laundry, and cablevision." "Canoeing upon request". Check in at 4pm and check out at 7 AM." "kids eat free" "Pets Welcome"
We both thought it was very funny. His son got so mad he told my daughter he was never coming home again.
Do you think it was terrible or just the irony in the truth? Should I have been more sensitive or be happy he is never coming back. I think he needs to stay at his own apartment now since he lives 15 minutes away and has a new baby.

She is 14 months and she had no problem drinking regular milk at 12 months when she stopped drinking her formula. I starting giving her a sippy cup at 6 mons. She will drink juice and water from it. I introduce a cup to her early so "I thought" she would have no problem transforming her from a bottle to a cup when the time comes. But, she hates it so much and start crying and end up throw up and gagging. Please Help me and give me some tips on my email. librascale928@yahoo.com
