Maybe you can help me find a starting point for helping one of my preschool students. This is a female child, age 3.5. I don't know how to phrase this in a PC way, so I'll just say it - she acts as if she is retarded. Please don't take offense, anyone. I'm talking about a sort of stereotypical "retarded" behavior in which the person smiles or laughs, makes verbalizations like "ahhhhh," while looking all around the room or sort of flopping around on the floor. She also does not respond to her own name about 75% of the time. She is not an unhappy child, but certain things can set off intense/violent fits of hysteria during which she is inconsolable. She has an extremely short attention span for her age. She has no social relationships with any other child, but seems quite happy. Yet... she has an incredible vocabulary, more advanced than any other child in the class. She knows her colors, numbers, and letters. Something is very wrong, but it's not intelligence. Any ideas?

Recently I went to my dad's school to visit and every single teacher's first reaction was "oh your son is so cute/good looking/handsome".

I know this comes off as a very conceited question, but hey it did happen and it's the internet so whatever, anyway were they just being polite or were they serious?

I kinda want to know because my self esteem went up haha.

In relation to this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahman8FhoaVoJZ1lww2mKpzsy6IX?qid=20070824090920AA9qnxo it is obvious that most prefer allowing mothers the ability to abandon their newborn infant without any further responsibility whatsoever.
I’m just curious about the answers if the father chooses to abandon the baby and leaves it in the care of its mother.
Why should there be a difference?
If the answer is because the mother is more likely to kill the infant, then it is insane to give women custody.

Shouldn't permission of both parents be necessary before abandoning a baby in such a manner?

Ok, I fooled around 3-5 times w/ my friend I'm getting 2 know. She even commented 2 me how meaningful the sex felt to her, & how exposed she felt to me. We just have this big-time chemistry between us...almost electric.I bit her on a nerve on her neck 1 night on accident & it freaked her out. I apologized several times, she said it's all good. We hung out & had sex a 2 nights after that & hung out & had a great time each night after that for 2 nights. Then I didn't hear from her for 4 days. Finally 2 nights ago I sent her a txt message saying, "If I weirded you out, or made you mad somehow, I'm sorry." The next day (yesterday) she sent me a message saying "I just needed a break for a while, our friendship isn't lost. The bite on the neck just ****** me up, I guess." I sent her a text message today & nothing. What should I do? I'm getting tired of women who say they're falling or act as tho they're in love & then u have sex w/ them & poof they're gone! What do I do about this girl?

For instance, could you slowly change yourself from an introvert to an exovert, more charming, etc and actually ingrain it into your personality? If so, how can someone go about doing this?

And if so , how did it effect you? It seems there's a lot of talk about how children suffer when there's not a stay at home parent. But both my parents worked and I never had a problem with it. Then again it was only a couple hours between when I got home and when they did, so my own activities and interests pretty much filled the time. What was your experience?

Ok I have a friend and she was my past college teacher. Well I have been to her house and we have gone to lunch and all that..we have become closer friends. Well I have gotten her new baby a couple of outfits and since we only talk through email, I emailed her and told her last week and asked when a good time to come by was and she told me anytime, but to tell her when and what time I decided.Well she never answered me so I didnt go over there. Then I asked her again this week and she emailed me today telling me to come by at 6:30 tonight but just a few min. ago, & called me on my cell and told me thier AC was broke and they are getting it fixed right now and she asked to reschedule AGAIN for next week. These seem like excuses to me..I dont know what the problem is but it is getting me very annoyed and frustrated with her.I really need to get those outfits for her b4 the baby gets a couple of months older. I feel like next week it will be another excuse next week & it hurts my feelings

I'm an 18 year old male. I'm usually always home and feel so embarassed about it. Sometimes I feel like going out, but most of the time I don't. I think I may have clinical depression, but I'm not sure. I've been an introvert all my life, but living in the middle of nowhere has gotten me used to being alone. Don't tell me to join any groups or anything cuz I won't. I should get a job, but I have applied to over 5 places like a month ago and haven't heard from them since.

This guy is always about business, explaining to him that I need a few more days (a week max) wouldn't cut it with him. My 2 jobs and another source of income won't get in the mail for a couple more days. Until then, i need to come up with an excuse why I can't pay him so I won't get the boot on the first which is when rent is due. This happened last month too but he reluctantly gave me a couple more days and this month i said it wouldn't happen, relying on my jobs to pay me on time. Any idea's? Thanks all.

Why don't we see immigrants wanting to go and settle in non-western countries? Lots of people from all over the world flock to Europe and N. America to selttle and eventually get naturalised and have local nationality. There are lots of people who go and live and work in a non-western country, but they don't get naturalised or take up the local nationality. Why is that? Of course there are immigrants in the West who do not want to be naturalised or hold the local nationality, but they are a minority.
Does that mean western countries have more to offer than other countries in the world?

Is this concept a contradiction of equality.

Does it reaffirm the fact that women who live on alimony are actually unable to sustain themselves and are dependant on a man for their existance?

What is the basis for demanding alimony?

Is it the cost recoverable for the time spent together and the intimacy shared?
