Parenting - September 2007

Is this legal in Georgia? This is where they had it done. My daughter is living with me now in Texas. Would I need to contact Georgia government or Texas for age requirements regarding this. This is really upsetting!! My child is ONLY 14!! Anyone gone through similar events?

I am 5-7 1/2 and her mother is 5-5. My daughter is 5-11 and only 14 years old!She also wears a size 11 shoe. Both I and the mother have average size feet. Now,she has similar features in her countenance to mine and her hue is my hue but I've never had a DNA test so who knows? Her mother has been quite promiscuous since 15 years old and still practicing the same behavior at 33. I shouldn't have waited this long but I'm going to take a DNA test. What do you think?

i have a 10 year old step son that we have every weekend. he is a great kid but never listens. he gets in trouble at school all the time for hitting other kids. this past weekend i took him to a family picnic at my parents house. he was so bad and argued with me about everything. i ended up screaming at him and told him he is driving me nuts. now i feel awful, was that wrong to yell so much? i later told him i was sorry and he was fine with it. but now i feel guilty. i just want him to realize he can't act the way he does and get in no trouble. should i feel guilty for yelling at him and telling him he is making me crazy?

Instead of reporting posts you dont like why not counter argue them? Ie no cheating to win debates by censorsh and hiding behind terms like innapropiateness or blasphemy or insulting faiths or oh the kids must not see it.

Why not that way they get an education.


And if you cases is stronger and right why not debate it openly and back up your startements insteal of telling tales to hide the info that proves you wrong or makes people think and question.

Likewise why not check the links people post. They post them for a reson showing why they think the way they do and posting evidence to back up their case.

My son is 7 months old and curious when I eat foods, he's watching me eat a pickle. Could I give him a sweet pickle to eat or should I give him a little bit of sweet relish in a spoon?

I have a 3 yr old son and a 1 yr old daughter. I got my 3 yr old off the bottle when he was 1 and it was so hard. I am trying to get my 1 yr off and she is just as stubborn. My son was not the kind of kid that will cry his self to sleep. I would literally be up with him until the next day and he would still be crying. My daughter is just as stubborn, except now I'm pregnant and exhausted trying to stay up with her. I would let my husband help but he has to get up to go to work in the morning. Any suggestions on an easier way? Or is there nothing else I can do?

If anyone has any stories to tell of their children talking about the afterlife, describing reincarnation, anything children of that age usually dont know, or other odd things you notice, I would love to hear about it! Has anyone's child talked about being their grandfather or anything like that? Does anyone's child see ghosts or hear things? How about having odd amounts of wisdom? I'm interested because I know when I was little I was like that, but as I grew up it went away. When I was little I used to randomly hear someone call my name that was in the room with me, but I never saw them. I also remember being frustrated with my step grandmother because I told her a story of how I used to climb coconut trees and get the coconuts down, but she just rolled her eyes at me and said, "And then you woke up, right?" (Who talks to a 5 year old like that?) It upset me because I knew it happened, it was an actual memory, but she was right, it never happened. Not in this lifetime anyway.

She has the name mAMa Of 11 GiRlS & 3 bOyS now. She is a complete liar and recently posted up Baby #15 and another question in parenting. She is such a liar and yet people answer her fake questions. I answered one of her questions and know that she is a complete fake. I posted this up in the Parenting thing and stuff cuz thats where she posts everything up. Do you know who Im talking about? She first had 3 kids and now like 14 in like so less time which is rather impossible. If you guys dont know who she is then watch out for her.

My oldest daughter is 7 almost 8 and now that she has expierenced me being pregnant twice she has always asked alot of questions of where babies come from.. I have always been honest with her to a point.

Tonight we had a discussion about having the menstral cycle because she asked what a period is...something she heard from her cousin.. I explained it very truthfully.

I just wonder what other Parents are doing with these type of questions and how old your kids are or were when you these talks.. thanks!

I was supposed to get her Friday night but I completely forgot and hooked with this girl. I went to get her yesterday morning and her mom tried to make me feel bad, it worked. I just forgot, I am not used to having to pick her up for the weekends. This is an arrangement that me and her mom just worked out.

Today, my 4 year old runs away from my wife outside our mall, heading toward the street. We tell him time and time again, but unless my wife collars him, he pushes his luck.

He didn't come close to getting hurt...THANK GOD, but my wife was infuriated with him. When she returned home, she marched him to our computer and forced him to watch this very graphic youtube.com video of a guy carrying a pizza getting hit by a car.

I believe, it scared him too much, as he started to cry ,hoping for his mothers console. (This is when I returned home myself). She then had a hard love talk with him, and he went on to play with his toys.

I saw the video in question and grew mad at my wife, I think the video was much too graphic for his young mind to handle.

So please, if you have the nerve, please watch this video (VERY GRAPHIC) and tell me if my wife did the wrong thing.

I strongly believe she did.

What do you do to keep your sanity? What are some of your stories? Me and my ex broke up in July and I am 8 1/2 mos preggo. I am okay to take care of my son (financially), but I have no family nearby, lots of close friends. The deadbeat dad will be brought to court once my little one is born. It's been a tough road trying to deal with the emotions of this and realizing that he is a total loser. I'm still working fulltime, in school, going to the gym, reading and trying to keep it together. I know things are going to be okay. How did you all deal with this and other situations? I just can;t believe that some people would leave us in this position because of selfish reasons. My ex admitted he cheated on me .. In an E-MAIL!! He was too much of a pu**y to tell me in person. To think that he could have exposed us to something makes me sick. He was also abusive at times when he had been drinking to, so thank God he's gone. It sucks becuase I still have feelings for him.

For instance they call out one child's name when they really want to get a different child's attention.
