anyone who thinks that is an idiot! Just because you still live with your parents doesn't mean you are a child, if you are 18 or over. If you are 18, you are an adult, whether you like it or not. You can still vote, you can still get a credit card and you can still do things 18 year olds can do. They think that they know all the adults who live with parents. They don't know those people and they don't realize that not all adults can afford a place to live on their own. They don't realize that not all adults are having an easy time looking for a job, especially if they are disabled. Some idiots need to grow up and quit giving the adults a hard time for still living with parents. It doesn't mean that they're stupid. Anyone who thinks that are the ones who need to grow up and stop acting like idiots.

The truth about this is that most parents shy away from the real thing. Some argue that exposing the under age children into sex in a way of education will increase their chances of be wayworld or sex scandals in the future while others believe that exposing the children to sex in a way of education is the only sure way to control the curtail future immorality becos according to them, the children will be well informed in the implication (Good and Bad reward) associate with sex in any level.

What is your opinion and views on this aspect as a parent or potential (future) parent. Ensure you are sincere in your contributions.

My daughter and her friends were invited to a Hannah Montana concert to celebrate one of her friend's birthday. The girl's parents bought the tickets and I assume they will be going. My daughter is the only one from the group not going because it's on a school night (Wednesday) and the concert starts at 7 pm. She's now being ostracized for not being there for her friend's birthday. Should pre-teens be allowed to go to a pop concert on a school night? My daughter has no problem with the decision of not going. To make her friend feels better, she has arranged to celebrate the "special day" with her friend separately. However, her friend started to write some hurtful emails which made my daughter feel like she has to defend her reasons for not going. Such drama.

They make sense to me, and as a blind future mother it sounds like the most logical and practical idea, but what do others think? What do you think of sighted parents using harnesses?

I'm a 30 year old gay man and for the last year have been feeling quiet low when i think of kids. I've been feeling really broody and am just gutted to think that in all reality i'm probably never going to be a Dad. I have so many thoughts and views on how to be a good, loving and caring parent and feel cheated.

When their kids are caught doing something wrong instead of blaming their own lack of parenting skills. There was a 13 year-old in Seattle that was shot in the leg by a police officer because he was not listening and instead of showing his hands like asked he was reaching for something in his pocket. It happened to be a cell phone, but how was the cop supposed to know that. Why is a 13 and 14 year-old out at 3am anyway. Where were their parents? His dad of course said "He was complying with the cop". What a crock! If he was complying he would not have been shot! Parents need to be parents and teach them right from wrong and not let them run wild at all hours of the night. It is not the police department's job to keep track of your kids!

She is in kindergarten, her grandmother watches her after school, & she never goes anywhere there isn't an adult that doesn't have a phone (whether it be a land line or cell phone). So why get her a phone? Am I the only one that thinks this is ridiculous?

We are considering having a fourth. Is there a big difference as you have 4 or more kids? Any good tips for getting by? Especially being pregnant and dealing with the 3 kids we have already? We feel like we are ready but we get alot of "Are you crazy?" questions.

My husband has 3 kids from a previouse marriage 2 girls 10 and 8, and a 13 year old son. The kids spend every other weekend at our house. My husband and I have a 2 year old son. Lately the 13 year old has been acting up (I know it's an age thing, I was 13 once too). When we ask him to help out around the house he looks us right in the eyes and tells us NO. When we get on him for that he mubbles under his breath at us. Last weekend I couldn't take it anymore and I lost it and told him in front of the other kids and his dad that if his attitude did not change he was no longer welcome in my house because I did not want the other kids learning his behavior, especially my 2 year old. I know it was harsh words but I didn't know what else to say or do because his father just seems to sit there and lets him do whatever he want. I also found out resently that their mother had told them that they did not need to do chorse while at my house because it was not their house. What do I do?

I am curious if you share in the picking up and dropping off of your children with their father? Is it standard for the non-custodial parent to pick up and drop off at the mothers residence? Thanks.

What is the one material thing that keeps you sane? ( your kids and family don't count) When you are just so tired or stressed out, what saves you?
Mine is my coffee in the morning and that hour after my kids go to sleep at night that I just unwind...
