I just would like to know. Since the Bible states this as one of the signs of the "the last days." 2 Timothy 3:1-5

I am in my 30's so I don't know how kids or teenagers where like 20 or 50 or 100 years ago.

We are moving into a house where his bedroom is downstairs and ours is upstairs. We really didn't want to have to have his crib in our new bedroom. He always sleeps in his crib until about 1 or 2 am (which is nice because that gives me plenty of time to clean up and spend time with my husband) So its never been an inconvenience, its been enjoyable, in fact, I have a hard time sleeping without him in my arms. We love him sleeping with us but we think its time for him to have his own room. Now I'm starting to feel bad about having him sleeping with us because he's gonna have a hard time not. He will sleep in his crib all night but wakes up every hour to get rocked back to sleep. We have always rocked him to sleep for naps and nighttime. So my question is, what has worked for you? Any specific routines or plans? Websites? Is it healthy to let him cry it out?

Ok so I like guys and I am a guy but i also dont feel right as a male and feel I should have born a female. Please help with advice on how I should tell them, how they might react. I just want an overall parent's point of view on this. I would like both negative and positive views on this. But please dont be rude. Thanks for the help. =]

Otu of curiosity, i was just wondering, do you think it is alright to spank a child with a belt. I knwo some people who think it is ok, btu personally i think that crosses the line into abuse. What do you think. I was never hit with a belt growing up and myself and sibleings all turned out to be very descent, people. I was just wondering, do you think its alright or not? And if you do think its alright, what si the youngest age you would even consider doing it. I just could never do that to my children. But i do know a few people with kids who think its okay. so is it okay and if so youngest age?

Please help us settle this. My husband and I are trying to teach our 17 year old son that flip flops are not safe to wear while driving. They're not secure on your feet and may get stuck between the gas and the brake peddle. My husband suggested that he wear topsiders instead.

These were cool for preppies 25 years ago, but I don't think they're still cool now. Do teenagers still wear them? Of not, what can you suggest he wear that is more secure for his feet and still be trendy.

This 6 y/o kid has a gift. He knows exactly how to get to individual persons. His new kick with me is the "I don't love you."--- Today... he doesn't love me because I let him spend 5 hours outside, and now it's time to come back in. Hmm...

I can deal with "I hate you" more than "I don't love you"...

I thought about feeding him bread and butter for dinner, while me and his dad eat a real meal tonight... because "I don't cook for people who don't love me." Is that going on his level, though?

I don't let him know that it gets to me, or he'll do it more! How do I deal with this one?

Ok, ive got 3 kids and i am working and i want to change my career. I look after them in the mornings when it comes to the school holidays and hubby looks after them in the afternoon. My youngest is about to start school in September. How comes not many employers are willing to be flexible when it comes to working mums having to look after kids in the holidays. That means I have to be stuck in my current job until the kids are grown up. Isnt this unfair?!!

I was spanked as a child - mostly for talking back to my parents - and I hold no ill will or grudge against it taking place.

Perhaps it's because I was spanked, that I can see the value it has as a learning tool. What do you think?

p.s. I haven't any children of my own, and I don't plan to have any so nobody has to worry about what I'm doing to children behind closed doors.

I am so upset. I broke up with my son's father when I was 2 months pregnant, he called 2 times in that month. I changed my numbers to get away from him. He quit his job, was doing drugs, and did not want to better himself. Now my son is 9 months old and I came home to find a letter on my doorstep that said that he found out about his son and to call him, I did a reverse search on the cell number and he is still living with the same people, and it wasn't even his phone. So he doesn't have a job. I am so scared for me and my son, I don't want him involved in my life. He lives in a very bad neighborhood, and he lives with his brother and his brother's girlfriend and their son who they teach terrible things too. I don't want my son to learn those things, and I don't want him to be in the ghetto, or around his uneducated, and ignorant family. I want so much for my son, and I want my son to have a better life than his father. I don't want my son to know that ghetto lifestyle. HELP!

my 17 month old son leaks out of his night time diaper at least 3 times a week. I am getting sick of changing the sheets! I have tried all the diapers and the one that he only leaks out of 3x a week is pampers cruisers. Yes, i have tried the regular pampers and they leak with him. he is in a size 3 but when he graduates to a size 4, i am switching to huggies overnights. do you have this problem?

I personally prefer the new Pampers Cruisers size 7, or Pampers Baby Dry.

I feel so sorry for this girl who lives next door to me. She is 16 and has learning disabilities which is only noticeable when you talk to her. She has been living there a coulpe of years and I hate the way they treat her. With her foster parents being very old she is forced to do ALL the house work which I notice every day when I'm in the back garden and they always sream at her if she has not done everything or has not done them quick. She dose everthing even picking up the dog poo. She also wears all her foster mothers hand me downs cloths form the 50s like very long grey dresses and grey tops. She looks stupid and embarresd. What should I do. She always looks down in the dumps. my mum and she thinks the same and says the foster perents have treated all the foster children like this for years. But every time they are reported they are always smile when ever anybody calls around. Am I being to nosy.

My daughter came home from school today saying that she knew who she was going to marry. Obviously, this is quite normal and part of growing up and we often have different "boyfriends". However, when we were in the car she said that she had a written a letter to her botfriend that said "I love you and I am going to have sex with you". She has no idea what this means and I told her that it is not the sort of thing that little girls should say. She then said that someone else wrote it and she just read it. She got quite upset and could obviously see that I was shocked. I didn't go into too much detail with her as she changed the subject but I am now worried that maybe I should have said more. Does anyone have any tips on the best way to handle it without going into all the detail-I don't think she is old enough to know the full gory bits yet. Thanks.

There are 12 kids in my family, my mom is pregnant, and there is a possiblity that we may be taking in a 4 yo boy (my half-brother. we were separated before i was adopted).others always assume my mom's a whore (she's not they had 5 and adopted 7), and we're living off welfare (we're not, my dad supports ALL of us. He's an architect). they have enough money, room, time, and love for us. so why do people assume my family's all lazy using up your precious tax dollars. just because some large famlies are like that doesn't mean we all are. personally, i think it's really none of your buisness. who cares if my parents want to adopt 20 kids. it's 20 more kids who aren't in the shelters and streets. and i'm not talking about people here on Y!A (so far you guys haven't been as mean as i thought you would be), i'm talking about every time i meet somebody new and they ask about my family, and i tell them, they make this face, and then tell their kids to stay away from me. jeez!!! lay off!!!!!
