I have a 6 year old daughter, who is very very well behaved, I have only had to spank her maybe 10 times in her entire short life. When I was growing up, I am 26 now, if one of my neighbors caught me or any of the other kids in the neighborhood acting out we would get spanked by them, then they would march us home, tell our parents what we did, we would have to apologize to them and then our parents would let us have it! It was not just my family that was like this it was the WHOLE neighborhood, if I got in trouble at my house, my neighbors would lecture me as well. What ever happened to it takes a village? Today kids are so bad and disrespectful that I just want to walk up to them and let them have it! Then to make matters worse I want to yell at the parents for raising little snots. Is this normal?

The reason I am asking this question is that I find it extremely odd that your small child goes missing and all you can do is wear yellow ribbons in your hair and go to see the Pope. If my daughter had ever gone missing, I would have been mortified and her father would have howled like a baby.

Im asking because my husband and i just had an argument about weather or not you can just get your tonsils out wihtout anyproblems wiht them. My thought was why would a dr put a child ina surgery is there was no reason for it. My husband claims that he and his brother both had them taken out when they were 2 because their mom wanted them out to prvent getting sick. Does this sound right? Anyone knowif drs will just do it to do it?

If you are a minor parent (17 and younger), do you really get medical benefits? because right now my parents are trying to adopt my daughter to get her medical benefits from the military, but my baby's daddy said we get free medical and we have more rights because we're under-aged parents. also, he said my parents could get in trouble because my parents lied saying adoption is the only way to get her medical needs.

pleaaaaaaase help. thank you!

I don't like to tell you I told you so but didn't I. Just felt it right from the start went with a mothers instinct, knew there was something not quiet right about these two, but I do feel gutted I just know its them. You don't leave your children in a house on their own no matter what, and why stay in portugal all this time tippical guilt, you go home to be with friends and family, and what the effect must be on the other children and these two parents doctors, it doesn't take an einstein to see this is not right, pity the general public are not such good einsteins and as for the Portugees police well what a shambles perhaps now they will get on with finding out where the parents put Maddie's body and let her rest in peace. and as a foot note thank goodness one paper had the guts to voice their oppinion, I have all along but no, no one wanted to know, just shows you go by your own instincts and not the majoriy.

I took my 2 year old to Dr for regular check and she said with so many teeth it is time for her to go to the dentist.I am a little worried about this because I do not want them to use those filthy tools .I read a while back in the news dentists tools and the water that comes out to clean thier mouth has alot of bacteria on them.Can I ask the dentist to wash thier hands and use freshly cleaned intsruments first, and if he does not can I leave and get my mooney back so I could take her to different one? Does anyone else take thier two year old to dentist?

I'm 16 and pregnant in 38th week (no father around).My father (mother in jail) wants to punish me for getting pregnant all the time and now he knows my due date is this week,he decided to go to a 1-week-trip without me.Their plan is to leave me alone at home,locked in my room (with bathroom,food and drink inside) with no phone and only with my computer.So when I go into labor,I won't be able to call an ambulance or go out ofthe house to go to the hospital.I'm already locked and I'm afraid I will go into labor and deliver at home with no medical help at all and I may die.What should I do?

If I go to the house, we go out, he goes with us somewhere, he is very disrespectful and says he "hates" me etc. etc... he has no real "reason" that he can give for this. This happens with everyone his dad dates or is friends with who is female.. any suggestions as to how to handle this without just calling the whole thing quits??

This evening my kids wanted to bake, so we baked several cakes. My daughter likes to bake (10) and my son likes to mix things and use the wisk:) (7).

We took the baked cakes to several shut-ins in our community and visitted with them for a bit.

I am so proud of them all of the time, but tonight, my heart is bursting with pride.

It's confirmed that baby Maddie's parents had something to do with her disappearance??

This case really hasn't made much sense to me.

My friend called me up yesterday fuming because her daughter was just caught trying to shoplift from a DVD store and actually spat in the security guard's face when he caught her, and tried to run off. Nevertheless, her daughter is now stocking shelves at the convenience store her mom owns (without pay) and will be doing so for a week.

I'd be angry if she were my daughter, but I think what my friend did was harsh. I would have made her personally apologize instead. What are your thoughts on how it should've been handled?

She's nearly 7. She seems to be very defiant. Behaviour that she knows I dislike she imitates all the time, like she's taunting me. Things I've told her she shouldn't do (like crying like a baby with her mouth wide open) because it's inappropriate, she keeps doing, right in my face. I've tried everything and she just won't listen.
I'm quite strict, she doesn't get her own way, she's not spoilt. This is behaviour she's had since she was tiny, and nothing works. In every other way she's lovely. But she seems to have a thing about anything naughty, irritating or anything her mother doesn't like. She deliberately takes the other side when I talk about stuff (if I say 'I don't like this road, it's too bendy', she'll say 'I like it, I like bends'. Stuff like that, and worse, all the time.) She picks the most annoying things that the most annoying person does, and she does that thing all the time.
Any ideas?

I was out and about last night and was amazed by how many young girls were walking around wearing damn near nothing. Where are the parents? How did this become okay? I am 23 years old and I love to be fashionable but I am STILL shocked. Please parents-if you're reading this-Get it together.

Look at it this way...your husband has a job that's able to support everyone just fine, you maybe run an in-home daycare or babysit for extra $$, you buy generic diapers or Huggies from the dollar store (yes, they have them), and get perfectly good clothes from Goodwill and Consignment shops. You breastfeed, so no food costs for now, and when they do start eating it's very inexpensive, you just have to know where to get good deals. Excluding their college money and things like that way down the road, can someone xplain to me why people say it costs so much? Remember that people have been saying that for years...and time shave changed drastically, so if you think hard on it it's not like that anymore.

anyway, i've decided to give my bro one more chance to pick Kaden (5 mo.) up, and if not, i would like to adopt him as my own. My older brother agrees with my decision, and my Pastor said to pray about it (which i have been doing) and do what I feel the Lord is telling me to do. My kids on the other hand, aren't too thrilled. My youngest is 14 mo. and just got out of the baby stage, and is super jealous of Kaden. the other young children (ages 2-7) love him and want him to stay forever. The middle aged kids (8-12) don't want him here, they don't want another kid to trip over in the halls. and the oldest (age 14-16) love their cousin and want to help him, but hate being on diaper duty. out of space..hold on

I mean really really happy.
About 80% of married people I know are miserable-all they do is talk about how much they wish they weren't married and how they can't stand their husband. I am not talking about little fights and things that make them mad-that of course is natural in any relationship.
Is this usual?

Does the Smith(assuming the smiths are of european decent) feel comfortable naming their kid Ashanti (african) or the rodriguez family(latino) feel comfortable naming their kid Seoung Li (asian) i dont have kids but i always wondered if parents with a child on the way consider the ethic orgin of the name they choose or do they just choose a name they like. im not talking about John Smith naming his daughter laquetisha shaqueeta or LaTasha Jenkins naming her daughter Suzie Lynn, thats NOT what i am talking about . im talking about lets say the Smith family was planning on naming their son John Micheal Smith, jr, but instead name their son Juan Miguel (which is john michael in spanish) Smith. Would that be ok to you? (in case you are wondering i dont care what your name name is name your kid whatever you want becuase their name should not dictate the life they live.... just a question i was wondering......................

this is supposed to be a "fun" question i dont expect you to give me a scientific answer..... i always hear studies about how potentially smart children are. if taught, they can learn many languages, pick up new words, concepts, etc. thats all great, its true. but what i find funny is how that little johnny can be taught how to tell his parents "NO!" in 8 different languages yet it will take him 10 times as long to learn that he should listen to his parents and not tell them no when they tell him to do something. i don't have kids but i find it so funny how my nephew is 4 1/2 and is fluent in english, french, and spanish that we speak but we have been telling him "don't touch , leave it alone, say sorry, be quiet, finish you veggies, pee pee in the potty, go to sleep, don't run, don't hit your sister" since he came out the womb and he still doesnt get the hint ,lol. i know there are brain specific variables and behavorial factors that play a part in this, i just find it funny..........

I used to run track in 9th grade, & there was this bully who used to pick on me CONSTANTLY & trip me in the hallways every single day, & no one did anything about it. So she tripped me on the bleachers & thought it was funny, trying to prove her friends a point, & I almost fell off & sprained my ankle. So I turned around & knocked her sunglasses off of her face. I almost went to jail but she didn't because she got her friends to lie for her as fake witnesses. As a result, the coach kicked me off the track team & not her, & my former foster mom punished me from playing sports until I turned 18. She wouldn't even let me play soccer in 10th grade. I dreamed becoming a track star, & now I'm all obese & out of shape. Would you have punished me permanently? If not, what would be the consequence you'd give me? I'm asking this in case if I have kids, I want to know the proper way a kid should be disciplined in this situation. I also have Tourette's Syndrome & couldn't resist retaliating.
