Parenting - April 2007

I have noticed that when parents are told that their child is bullying other children, the parents either don't seem to care or something and they just let their children continue to torment others? Why do these parents do anything? If my child was a bully I would find out what was bothering her and do something about it, I wouldn't want my child to be that way!! What is wrong with this world?

My baby has never slept away from home. We tried it once a year ago and it was horrible. we ended up with no sleep and driving all the way home the next day. We want to go this summer for a vacation. but it is 15 hours away and flying is out. So I don't know what to do. Do I just wait another year to get out of this stage. My other two were never like this. My inlaws are mad because we don't ever come and visit but I think they should understand what out situation is..

My daughters father (who has not been in her life until 2 days ago and rarely pays child support) has decided he wants to be in her life. I am happy about this, but am planning on moving from Ga to NC where he resides (not for him) and do not know if he decided to, if he could try to take my little girl away from me. His dad took him from his mom at a young age and she had to go to court to get him back and still lost and I am really scared of it happening here. My daughter is my entire world and I have raised her on my own since she was born. His Aunt just informed me about what happened to his mom and now I am wondering what to do. My move is for stability and job purposes to make both mine and her life better, but if he has a chance of taking her, what do I do? He is not on her birth certificate, but we have a paternity test from when I pursued child support, which he fails to pay regularly. Is that enough to keep him from "kidnapping" her and trying to take custody?

I just finished a custody battle. My son got a new toy, and it came with a pack of tattoos. I have never liked them only b/c they are so hard to get off. My daughter decided to put them all over my son. Well, my son went to his dads last weekend. I got the nastiest email saying that he took pictures and the judge would not approve. He says that I am not teaching my son to be a successful and professional young adult by allowing these tattoos.

I feel like just never allowing my kids to have them, just to avoid the disagreement with their dad. But at the same time they are only kids once, and other than the chore it is to remove them, they really are harmless. Right?? ...idk

I am a cashier at a grocery store and I love the little kids that sit in the cart or stand by their parents while I'm ringing them up. Some of them say the cutest, most hilarious things and sometimes I laugh so hard that my stomach muscles hurt and my eyes get watery. Children are so cute and innocent (don't get me wrong, there are some spoiled little abnoxious kids out in the world), but for the most part, anything they say can make me smile. Today, a little boy was handing me a pineapple and he was saying "here, take this pear" and I thought it was adorable and his mom yelled at him and told him to shut up. What is the deal with some parents? Do they just want their children to stop talking, period?

Anti spanker's are borderline crack pots, usually they clam to poses a "degree in early childhood education" and worked with child ya, right, I can also clam to be Opera, are you going to believe that?) . If it is true, great so there a daycare worker, with a degree. Any fool can pass a written test to earn a degree (I am proof of that, lol), and I don't know about you, but I can trust the average day care worker about as far as I can throw them. Besides, when I was in collage, you had about 5 or so people who actually wanted, and felt the calling to be there. Parenting is not a collage subject, not a book subject "

"Pulling down underpants, is the best possible way do deliver a spanking. It will produce the best results. I don't buy into the argument, that it's humiliating, or some sort of sexual assault. IT'S JUST A SPANKING, the way they ought to be. A child gets humiliated by enforcing ANY consequence, why? Because their little egos just took a hit"

My daughter Emily is very out of control. She is always getting in trouble at school and home. I just dont know what to do to get her under control. She is grounded right now but she dosnt seem to care about that. i have threatend to spank her she dosnt care about that either. I told her i would swicth her schools, she told me she would skip school then or just go back to her old one. Shes always talking back to me and my boyfriend. My boyfriend has told me that is she continues on with her behavior that he might leave me. I dont want that to happen what can i do to get her to behave and listen to me. Her brothers dont act nearly as bad at school or home as she does so i just am stuck as of what to do with her.
She just turned 14 a couple weeks ago.

Why do parents value innocence ie stupidity?

Why keep a kid vunerable and dumb?
