Parenting - November 2007

I purchased a Gymboree coupon code off of ebay but the person has not sent it yet and i have items selling out of my cart. If someone can let me use their code until I receive mine I would be grateful. Or if you do not plan on using your code i can always use more than one. Please do not leave the code on here for the public, someone left me a code before and another Yahoo user stole it. You can email it to me at bobbi507@yahoo.com. Like I said i can give you the one I purchased as soon as I receive it, but I need one now because all of my items in my cart are disappearing.
Thanks,
Bobbi

My Daughter is 2 1/2 years old & her biological father left me when I found out I was pregnant (for another woman,not because of the pregnancy) he denied her at first but when she was 6 months old we had a DNA test and he turned out to be the father so he now pays child support.The whole first year of her life he had only seen her twice.Now that she is 2, he was taking her every other weekend until his girlfriend started complaining that he was using her car (he doesn't have his own)So now it's been a month since he has seen her so I wrote him a message and he wrote me back -----

My son and the rest of his elementary school was not allowed to use the bathroom almost all day due to the water being off in the school. They were told in the morning that the water was out and that no one would be allowed to go until the water well was fix. The pricipal forbid it. There reason was the waste would smell the bathroom up and the toilets would plug from the toilet paper mainly from the girls. They said it would not be fair to let the boys go and not the girls. So the restrooms were locked with out of order signs and no one in the school was allowed to use them. The water was back on around 2 pm and my son had not use the bathroom since he woke up at 7:00 AM. He is in the third grade and said a few children started crying after lunch the had to go so bad. I can not imagin how bad the younger ones had to go. Do you think the school was right to do this and what do you think they should have done? I think making children that age hold it for over 6 hours is wrong regardless

How did it work for you to not have health insurance?

Money is really tight these days and my husband and I are going to stop our insurance. But we are going to put our daughter who is almost 2 on CHIP. (Children's Health Insurance in Pennsylvania).

So my question is for parents.. What are the pros and cons of not having health insurance for yourselves?

and has anyone used CHIP and did you like it?

Thanks everyone!

He wants to go live with his dad. He says he hates my grandmother (we live with her and my husband) because she bugs him all the time. She is 81 and can hardly walk, she is hard of seeing and hearing. All she has for him is love, and I feel like I have totally failed him as a mother. I am so upset I don't know what to do.

We adopted siblings, one at birth and the other was 4 yrs old. This was approx 5 years ago. Out of the blue, with no contact in 5 years, the biological mother called tonight and threatened that she was going to take us back to court becaus those are HER children..yes the ones that she signed her rights away to. Does she have any legal standings? And I am concerned about her mentality..the safety of my children. I have already contacted the school, and family memebers and neighbors to keep a watch out of suspicious activity in our neighborhood..should I contact the police as well? Get a restraining order?? I am currently out of town on business while this is all going on at my home, and I am at my witts end..

Anyone got any ideas on a team/activity/group/something for a 6 year old girl to join? For years we have been rotating activities for her, Gymnastics, Ballet, Dance and Swimming.

She's enjoyed these things, but nothing has really stuck with her, or been good enough for her to ask to continue for more than "because we always do"

She is a very active girl, not a tom-boy, but not a princess. A very "individual" spirit. A leader much more than a follower, almost to a negative, in the controlling sense.

I think that signing up for something that promotes team and group effort over individual accomplishment would do well for her development, as well as something that assists in her understanding of discipline, and rules such as a coach.

The obvious answer here is a sports team, and being in the Toronto area (Durham Region) hockey stands out. However she cannot skate at all. Hockey does interest me, but i am unfamiliar with the associated costs.

Any other ideas? Open to anything at all.

I have been seeing my girlfriend for 4 months now. She has 2 children. A boy that is 5 and her daughter is 7. The problem is that the 5 yr old does not listen. Everything to him is a game and funny. Especially bed time! Will not go to bed. Runs around playing games, refuses to listen. This is causing a lot of stress between my girlfriend and I and I don't know what to do. I'm at a total loss. He also likes to throw things when he gets upset. What is the answer here? It's very stressful on me and I can't handle this. I'm seriously asking for help here. How do you effectively discipline this child? Thank you in advance!

I wanted to pet a rabbit but it scratched me and I got really mad so I hit it. its the same with cats. or our cat will always want to eat but I'm too busy to give her any food. mom gives her food anyway. the cat isnt my pet but I could still give her some food and caress her but no I neglect the cat.

I just wanna know the answer if am I for kids or not cause otherwise I will go for a vasectomy. I cant find the reason why I'm like this. I'm so shy that you wouldnt believe but I dont know how can I do these things. someone told me that I might be depressed but how can depression causes me to be lazy and violent? I thought depressed people are suicidal. or is it because I never experienced love? I really dont know how it is to be in love.

people around you always tell you how it is to have kids, that you should have kids, but if I already treat badly with pets, then I dont wanna let kids to suffer too. I'm just staying away from pets now and I'm fine. I'm gonna do the same for kids.

Back in the day, it was "children are to be seen not heard" and nowadays it is like the children feel like they are their parents peers. What gives? Is this a positive thing or a negative thing?

IF you have kids, do you fill either view point? Which one? Are you happy with that? Why or Why not? If not, how do you change the parent child dynamic?

Growing up, my family never went to Disney. We couldn't afford it. I'll probably take my kids there, just to see what it's like. But, I can't get over some people who go there every year. Is it really that good?

What are your opinions on Disney?

I am still breast-feeding my daughter (she is over a year old) a couple times a day (before nap and before bed) because it is a calming ritual for her. My nosy mother-in-law has said before to my husband (he has told me), "she's STILL breast-feeding?? Why??" And the other day she had the nerve to say to me, "You have to stop breast-feeding. You don't have a life!" How do I respond to something like that? I was totally shocked.

If you had a child that was severely allergic, would you rather the school produce a nut free table, or keep the kid along with a friend in the classroom while the other kids went to lunch, or would you rather they ate in the office under adult supervision? I have mixed feelings about this because of course I want my son to be as safe as possible, but the reason I want him to go to school is so he can have friends and fun play time (along with learning!). I have been homeschooling him to protect him but he craves being around other kids and I want him to be happy. The school and I are trying to work together to make it a safe place for him but without him being made to feel bad or different. I am not asking people to change what they send their child for lunch, I only want mine to be safe. So, a nut free table, lunch in the classroom, or lunch in the office?
