Parenting - May 2007

My husband had 2 children from his ex girlfriend when we met and now we have a 15 month old son. I have always wanted to have 3 children but he already has 3 right now! We have decided (very excitedly) over the next year to get pregnant again. Whenever asked about us having more children my husband always says "we're going to have one more" and is all smiles. I have never asked him if there would be more children beyond this but I think i want at least TWO more. We are very young (18 and 22) Would it be selfish to ask for two more if any considering he already has 3, and i only have 1?

Okay i have a family member (18) who is just graduating highschool next month wants a baby(no job) with her ex.bf whom she says she loves. She thinks he will be forced to come back to her or at least he will always be in her life no matter what.I am only a few years older than this particular family member and i am 22 yrs old.She thinks she is using my experience of having a baby w/ my then ex.bf and getting back together as an example.Does not understand is that 1.It was NOT done on purpose 2.I was starting my second year of college when i got pregnant 3. I had a job and so did my then ex.bf also he was about to graduate.She does not see that i had to go back to school 3 weeks after having my son so i would have an associates degree,all the drama it caused,how much i had to rely on family memebers,or how stressed, sick and tiered i was.She see's it as glamorous?

I have two daughters, and I hate to let them watch love movies with happy endings. When I was a girl I used to watch "Dirty Dancing" and I was shocked when there was no love out there like that for me. Made me really sad and a little bitter. I don't want my daughters to have false hope, what do you think?

To those who are single parents (mom or dad) I must just say you guys are really truely amazing people. How you guys manage to be both parents is really incredible.

Two of the kids that I teach (preschoolers) are in single parent households & spoke to both mothers individually. The two kids are such gems,strong personalities & truely amazing young minds & kids.

I must say to all parents who are single parents,I truely applaud you. You guys are doing an amazing job with your kids who are really such honey's.

Well done, congrats & keep it. Wishing you all the best for you,your children & your family.

I have 2 kids, 1 yr. old son and 3 yr. old daughter...I dont trust anyone with them..Not even my family..The only family I trust are my mom and my mother in law and I get nervous when they go there without me..I'm scared they might get hurt or someones mean to them..I dont even like for my husband to be alone with them..I'm scared hes going to be mean to them or lose his temper...My husbands family thinks I need to loosen up and let go..Its hard when you hear so much going on in this world from the news...With my daughter-I'm scared all the time that someone is going to hurt her or mess with her...No lie, I cant go anywhere without someone saying my daughter has gorgeous hair or shes so beautiful..I had a guy in walmart one day that followed me around the store and told me so many times that my daughter was so beautiful and everywhere I turned he was there..So I left and he followed me to my car and it scared me so much...That was crazy!!

If you had a chance to do it all over again, would you still have chosen to have children?

have a neighbor across from me, I live in a trailer park. I was on a okay basis with this neighbor for a long time. Nothing to chatty but a simple hello. Well one night my friend parked in front of my house, as we were saying good bye my neighbor backed into my friends truck. My friend wanted the police called because it was a accedent and we couldnt tell the extent of the damage. Well the neighbor and I exchange some not so nice words each blaiming the outher. Anyway I though you know that it had all blown over I mean we were not friendly but we were minding our own bissiness. Next thing I know I was bringing the dog in and saw her pulling out of her driveway about 1/2 an hour later she knocked on my door. Apperantly her wallet was on the top of her car and as she drove away it must have fallen off.She asked if I had takin it i said no. So she insisted that it was me and told me that she was calling the police because I must have taken it. So i told he to go ahead and call.Nedless to say the cops never came because there was no proof that i had taken it. Anyway I was out side and apperantly one of the neighbors had found it in some rocks and had given it back to her. Im just worried that somthing stupid is going to happen and that my kids are going to be affected by this lady. My kids are 1 and 3. I dont need the harrassment but I do need this to stop. I dont know how she is going to react the next time she thinks that i took something or i said something. (moving not an option)how would you handle the situation that could possible escalate now mind you I have a pretty good feeling that all my neighbors now think that im a theif. Granted it could go no where but I dont know this lady and I do have small kids

I have a niece who is 9yrs old. She is still allowed to run around naked if she wants. She stays at my house sometimes, and I would prefer that she be clothed. My sister says that she's glad she still is innocent enough not to care, and that the day will come on it's own.
We both live in an area that is secluded enough that she can't be seen by neighbors or the road.
Am I being a prude? I'm her uncle, and single.
I allow her to go bottomless, provided she wears a long t-shirt. Or, she can wear just panties. And even that is less than I wish. But, I don't allow her to go outside without anything. on.
I'm not a pervert, or a pedo., It just makes me uncomfortable.
What do you think? Am I being too old fashioned?

Why do people become hypocrits, the morons parents were, have irrational fears, operate on intition not logic etc.


Where does all this crap come from...


Many were perfectly sane in teens and tenties then go wacky after having kids or getting older getting strange notions that have no babsis in reality or forget what it was like and they were like when young?


Ie I I saw when younger and now some older guys or a couple in a rock club...


AI would not go running around in circles screaming peado, wierdo, what possible reason could they have for being in a nightclub what have the got in common with anyone young arrrge they must be nucelar terrorists...

Or similar crap I get from many posters here.


I would think... hey cool they still into the scene hey guys we have a couple of origonal 70s rickers or punks and invite them over to dance with us so they feel welcome.


If I see a couple and one was 19 and the other 30.


i would not panic and say call the SAS

My son is 14 and thinks he knows more then me..we argue over silly things espeacially when he thinks I, as his I mother cannot tell him what to do. But when he needs help w/homework he comes to me not dad, Needs money, me again, or needs a persmission slip filled out., it's me he asks, or needs permission to go here and there, me always (dad at work). But when I ask him to do chores around the house he claims he "does everything" I luv him but am tired of his attitde towards me ( have been a stay at home mom for all of his life so far) . Should I tell him I am no longer available when it is convenient for him or should I continue to give in. When dad and me argue he takes dads side, which makes me mad as hell. He is the only boy, I have 3 girls also. What is your all opinion?

When do you sit back and realise that you have no control over your child and that placing her in the states care just might be the better option for them? I know i am gonna get flak over this, but i am at the point where i think that my daughter might be better off without me. She basically hates me, disrespectful, defiant, skips school, sexually active, lies, steals, runs away, hangs with terrible kids.... etc etc. I have tried for the past year to get help through counseling and therapy, but nothing is helping. I truely belive that maybe she needs more than I can help her with. Do you think that sending her to stay in a group home until she turns 18 would be better or worse for her? I think if she continues down the road she is on now... she just might end up pregnant and on welfare, droping out of school. I am so lost!

Does this exist? My partner and my mum both grew up feeling unwanted, left out and unloved....they have both grown up to be attention seekers and have the almost obsessive desire to better themselves to gain recognition from others.

I have two children and am putting off having a third because of this....is it something you can prevent providing the parents have awareness?
