If it was a pay site that you had to pay to access it. I think if it was a pay site there would be alot less of the petty truly sick questions. Because its easy to access answers from many different accounts to block who they are. If they had to pay for it , alot wouldnt... By atleast 40%

people that married people that had kids doesn't want to be a part of thier life? Did they think the kids would just go away?
Didn't they ever consider that the kids might come to live with them?
I have a step daughter and her life is just as important to me as my own children. Rather she has problems or is perfect this is my husbands child and truly our problem as well as her "real " moms problems.
She is a good kid, but even if she wasnt it is all our responability becasue she is a child.

I also was wondering if it matters if a younger child was in the car with he or she. What about at home? How old and how long does the law in MA say they need to be? Thanks.

and each one of them is from a different dad, the mother doesnt take care of them properly. These kids are neglected, the mother doesnt work, yet she gets all this money from child support, and government. She cant keep home either.

I was at Target the other day and this lady's kid was screaming for 20 minutes straight. She didn't say a word. It was so distracting I had to leave. Why don't parents discipline their kids when they scream in public? Do they not realize how obnoxious and rude that is? What's the deal? She just kept shopping as if nothing was happening. She should've taken him out to the car or told him to stop it!

what if ur son came up to you tomorow morning and told you he was gay. what would you do? what would be your reaction?

2007-06-23 16:33:46 · 23 answers · asked by Anonymous

I want to know how many of you would have the same reaction... I have a neighbor who has a laundry line, and on it, was hanging a picture of three women's butts, naked... Oops.. She says it's not a big deal.. They were wearing thongs... Her fence is totally broken, and you can clearly see it from my backyard, no problem...I have four boys, ages 9 down to 4... That was not a talk I wanted to have with them yet, but the damage is done... I asked her very, very nicely to hang it else where so my boys would not see it... She was so offended by this, she announced that she would hang them everywhere just to spite me... I am not a prude, but I just dont want my boys seeing this...She did not get it...I did not mention morals, anything that could be construed as judgemental... I just told her I did not want my boys to see stuff like that at their age.. Not to mention the fact that I have nuns comming to my house in a couple of weeks....That would be lovely, eh???
Opinions please...

at the end of 4th grade i got prego w/ my son jordan(i have precocious puberty). his dad's parents disowned him so he has been living at my house since then. my parents made our basement into a mini apartment. me, anthony(my boyfriend/jordan's dad), and jordan live down there. we are pretty independent now. when i got prego with jordan, my parents and i decided it would be best for me to take 5th grade off(he was born in september). anthony went ahead and did 5th grade. i am 17 now and anthony is barely 18. he just graduated high school. i am a senior now. i go to a christian school, so they dont let prego people there(or people who have been prego). me and my parents decided to mark down jordan as their child and not mine(so i could still go to that school). jordan knows and he is fine w/ it and all. is that wrong? you know, that were lying about his parents?

You know the ones like... Wife Swap or Trading Spouses.

Would you do it? (yes ~ no)
How would you discribe your home/family?
What do you think the "other" family would find "odd" about your home/family?

Do you think it is necessary to know EVERYTHING about your teenager?

I have a friend who got pregnant while under the influence of drugs. She became clean and sober after discovering that was indeed pregnant. But still, her 4 month old son is experiencing some problems now. She just found out that he is deaf and may be autistic due to his lack of motor skills. He has difficulty holding his head up. And he has severe asthma. The back of his head is also very flat, which would suggest to most that she doesn't hold him too much and/or he never gets tummy time (which would in fact help him learn to hold his head up). So I really wonder if he could really be autistic or if it's just that she never does anything with him to help his motor skills.
I really think she means well, she just doesn't posess the right tools to know how to be a good parent. I can't help but mother her child for her when I come over. Plus she's got another friend living with her who helps a lot. I don't want to call CPS. So how do I help her get a clue that she's doing a crappy job?

Its the middle of winter, and she is flouncing around in a singlet and skirt, insisting she is not cold. The rest of us are shivering under our jackets and trackpants. She has always been this way. She is 5 now. I fight desperately to keep clothes on her. Even if it gets that cold that she has blueish lips, she will swear black and blue she isnt cold, and begs me to let her take her jumper off. I cant explain it. Quite often she feels warm to the touch, when Im freezing my backside off. What gives? Anyone else has a child that does this? To add to the craziness, its not unusual to see her wear a scarf and beanie in the middle of summer. Like I said but, shes always been this way, it doesnt appear to be an attention thing. I just cant explain it. Appreciate any insight.

I am a mother of 3 children. My youngest is 15mos. old. She is a lot needier than my other two were, at least that I can remember. (they are 4 and 6). I totally believe in the attachment parenting style and am doing it with her. Lately for some reason I am catching flack from my mother-in-law about how she thinks she is held too much. She isn't totally walking yet and does love me to hold her, however, I don't hold her all the time. I can't with two other kids! I also engage her in activities and she does fine for a while. She just likes me to hold her. She sucks her thumb and holds my hair and everything is wonderful in her little world. Personally I don't think there is anything wrong it. She is my last baby and she won't be little for long. I am so fed up with these unsolicited comments that I just want to cry. Now my husband is making comments too! Does anybody have any encouragement for me? It doesn't help that I have PMS and want to bite someone's head off. Thanks :)
