My mom just told me of a story of how an 8th grader was suspended for hugging a couple of friends at school. I realize that this sort of thing happens, where students are suspended for such stupid things, claiming it's a form of sexual harrassment.
(Funny thing was is that she was wearing a "Hugs Not Drugs" t-shirt!)

However, it's OKAY to dish out BIRTH CONTROL to these same students. Not allowed to hug, no, that's wrong... but here, have a condom, have the pill.

What has happened to this world?

I need some real cheap meal ideals to feed myself and three kids ages 10, 9 and 3 off of less than one hundred dollars over the next 7 days for breakfast and dinner (plus buy gas). A company made a mistake and took too much money from my checking account which overdrew my account. However, they still have not given the money back and w/ all the fees I incurred I will proably never see my grocery money again! My kids have beenn complaing already of being hungry b/c I have to limit food to make sure it can streach. I had to cut out sending school lunches this week, send them to school for breakfast. I am suppose to get food stamps and I got approved but the case worker said she will get around to it when she feels like it. Got super cheap meal ideals?

My EX and I had a daughter. She wasn't planned at all, but for the last four years (and yes she is 4) she has been the joy of our lives. I know eventually she is going to ask all the normal questions about babies, where they come from, why her mother and I are no longer together, etc... Her mother and I have decided if and when she asks about it to tell her that even though she was unplanned, she has never been unwanted.

Just curious what you think about what or how to tell her.

And it is only something we will do if she asks about it.

Why does it seem like these days parents either can't raise their kids or don't want to raise their kids?

For instance, a kid gets angry easily so the parents take him to a therapist. Or a child wakes up in the middle of the night and won't go back to sleep so the parents take her to a sleep clinic.

Is it that todays parents aren't smart enough to deal with their kids? Or is it that they are too lazy?

My point is, a couple decades ago if a kid had problems the parents dealt with it WITHOUT the help of special doctors or therapists and the kids turned out fine. Why is it that these days parents are not able to deal with things themselves?

We've been to the doctor and he is being tested for Sprue through a blood test. He had a rectal exam and a full physical today. He is 8 years old and in good health. He has a stomach ache after he eats (sometimes). This morning, with no food, his stomach was hurting really bad. He's been hospitalized 2 times over the past couple of years with "possible appendicitis".

The doctor told me a little about it and told me to google it and I have, but I was just wandering if anyone has experience with this condition.
Thanks!

And then they go and have more after the first. Why wouldn't they just wait til they are financial stable enough to stay home to raise their own child. Of course I am not including unplanned pregnancies.

Serious question, would like to know what is going through their minds.

So here's the big question that will make you wonder!
Is one of your kids a angel? Do you love him/her more?
Or do you love them both even though one can be a bit cheeky sometimes?

Ok, so my parents don't know that I'm a lesbian. I think they have somewhat of an idea, but I don't know for sure. For Thanksgiving, I want to bring home one of my friends who is an obviously female-to-male transgendered. I'm hoping that this might get them started in asking some questions. However, I honestly do not know how they might react.

As parents (particularly mothers), how might you respond if your daughter brought home a visually obvious transgendered man (as a friend only, not dating) for the weekend holiday?

(note: this is my first semester in college and away from home)

What new thing has your child learned to do/say that just melts your heart? My two-year-old has started whispering my ear like he wants to tell me a secret! Too cute!

Ok, so i've gotten dared by my friends. What's the dare you ask?

Oh and by the way, I usualy don't take down dares if it doesn't hurt anybody.

Okay ear me out on this. With all the dangers of child abduction why dont we let parents of new born infants have the choice of having a microhip implanted in the child. maybe under the skin. Not ver toicable and painless. This could save the childs life in helping track them if they were abducted and if nothing else locate the body of a child that has been murdered and dsiposed of. Sounns creepy but I want to know what eveyone else thinks. Remember its voluntary and can always be removed.

I often see 2 extremes of parents. The first I dub the "helicopter parent". They maintain absolute control over their kids. They must know what they are doing, where they are, and who they are with 24/7. They impose a dictatorship and never try to empathize with their kid. It is like a Stalinist Russia inside their house.

Then, you have the other kind. The kind that doesn't care if their kid isn't home for several days. They don't care if their kid does whatever. They just don't care. This is sort of like The Netherlands. No laws or rules.

Why can't there be a balance? A parent who cares and maintains order but allows a decent amount of resonable freedom? Parents do you strike a balance?

Why are parents so against spanking nowadays?
Do "time outs" and 1-2-3 really work?
Honestly if you give your child a lil smack on the butt they will know you mean business..

I see kids who hit their parents and tell them what to do, throw fits in the store because they don't get what they want and talk back..
what's with not spanking? what's so wrong about it?

My daughter is six and I was wondering when would be a good time to start discussing with her the world of babies and then gradually turn that discussion into sex.
