All of the adults that I know with children that smoke Marijuana do not hide it from their children. Infact, my husband grew up with parents who smoke and still do and my husband smokes as well. I don't feel there is anything wrong with Marijuana, I just don't do it.

It concerns me that almost every adult I know who does use the drug, their children know too. Is there any way to really hide the use of Marijuana from your kids?

Before you had children, did you like kids or dislike them and plan on never having them. I'm 23 weeks with my first baby. I'm not particulary a kid person. I don't really like them very much and really wasn't sure if I wanted them. But...nature had other plans and now I'm expecting one. I know I'm going to get bashed by others fot this question, but I can't help how I feel. I'm looking for answers from parents who didn't want kids or didn't like them who have ended up having them. What was your experience throughout pregnancy and bringing them home and raising them? I know I'll love my child no matter what but I'm wondering if my view will change of other people's children.

What happened was is that my aunt (not my real aunt but mom's friend) is a bit of a control freak. My mother has been busy taking care of her family, work-life, school with my younger siblings, and my aunt is wondering why she hardly has enough time for her. Out of the blue she e-mails my mother and asks "when are we going out for coffee? is our friendship on the rocks?"
My mother was pretty upset by it and both of my parents got into an argument when my dad asked her why she even bothers with this woman? I too was hurt by it, btw i'm 17, so I sent her an e-mail saying that we have a life, my mother is busy taking care of us and works very hard, and since you don't have children you don't know what is involved with raising a family. So i'm sorry my mother isn't free for coffee chit-chat with you.
After this she calls our house SCREAMING at my mother for what i sent her and now my mom is mad at me for saying it. Did I really do anything in the wrong here?
Also, my dad is glad.

I take care of a 3 yr old (for 2 years now) I am teaching him lot of things as you can imagine. I have thought him letters and he know them form A-Z. He does not only sing them he can also write. He can spell his name and writes it...but the problem is that when he sees any word he spells it from right to left. H e has done this so many times. Is this normal.....i'm afraid to tell his parents may be they would think that ....i think of a bad medical condition of their son.....some parents are sensitive. Both of his parents are dorctors. They haven't noticed this because they rarely sit down and play with him. Everything is a suprise to him. They love him so much though...but they have to work to pay bills and pay me.
Another thing he acts different him...nice, listening and he is so wonderful..but when parents get home he changes into a lil monster.....not a real monster..for you sensitive parents....

Andy Bathie was asked by two lesbians if he would donate his sperm so that they could have children. That would be, they assured him, the end of his parental duties. Now they have split up and he finds himself in the position of having to pay over 5,000 pounds a year towards their upbringing. One of the lesbians, who is not the children's biological mother, has no legal responsibility towards them. Yet Mr Bathie, who did this as a favour, does have. Is this not yet another flaw in the law?

ok i think putting leashes on kids is degrating and treating them like a dog. i would never do it but my husband thinks it's ok. so i got to wondering what other people think. if i see someone in walmart with them i can't help but look in amazement and to how parents belittle their kids. i get kids get lost but hold their hands or put them in a stroller or get a basket with a car attached. has anyone ever used one or would anyone use one and how would you explain it to others like me who don't understand.

My buddy has a 3 1/2 (or) 4 year old boy, who punches kicks slaps the Doberman dog.And my buddy told me he has tried and tried too put a stop to it.But the kid just wont listen.
So last-night while we were having a beer, I saw the kid abusing the family dog and I said WTF and my buddy said that the dog will teach him what he can't.
So is he right ?
I Remember when I was just like this kid and I use too tease the dog and it finally bit my nose and my parents told me that is what i get....And I never did that again.
But my dog that bit me was a toy poodle not a Doberman.
does my buddy know what he is doing and i should butt out?

Also I really feel real sorry for the Dobie.
No dog deserves to be torchard.

Here soon, about 20 days, I'm going to visit a friend for a few days. She's used to living alone so she has housing services set up during the day while she works, which means while I visit her I wont be able to stay at her home. She insisted that I go with her to work, she works at a daycare/pre-school. Is it illegal for her to bring guests (especially me, a man, 19yrs old) into the daycare environment if I'm not officially aligned with their business?

Also, if it's not illegal, would you as a parent feel uncomfortable knowing your daycare manager was bringing an unknown guest and that the guest will be around your children?

I hope to get replies from rural and city folks. I am in a rural environment so I will hope to gage my decision on rural parent's replies. Thank you.

I am a SAHM of a one year old. I have read a lot of articles which suggest that most SAHP do not purchase life insurance or keep skills current in the event that they must return to the workforce. These articles are written with the intent to scare ppl away from the idea of raising their own children but they obviously have a good point. I feel they are wrong in assuming ppl do not prepare, do disaster planning in order to stay at home safely, have you?

I mean actually hearing what they have to say and treating them as a fellow human beings rather than seeing them as just kids who know nothing
