I'm finally getting my own place which is scary yet I'm anticipating it. I just wanted a couple of tips any kind will do. Thanks alot.Advise I'm moving out of my parents house soon and would like some advise from others?
don't move far, it is nice to go back for a home cooked meal and Mom will be glad to see you, even if you have a bag of dirty clothes. :)Advise I'm moving out of my parents house soon and would like some advise from others?
well you need to budget well.
When i first moved out i didn't think about all the things i would need and how much it would end up costing me. for example my first place was a 2 bedroom apartment my rent was 1150.00 my electric was like 20.00 cable was 70.00 and i had my cell which was 60.00 then i had to pay for laundry which came to like 40.00 every two weeks then god groceries, toiletries and other odds n end like cleaning stuff was overwhelming.
my best advise is the off brand stuff is just as good as the name brand. dont be afraid to clip coupons and always have a saftey net for emergency's dont finace to many things at one time and try to get you bill dates on different weeks so you dont have to pay rent, electric and cable all on the same friday. cause it sucks going a week or 2 with little or no money. other then that good luck!
When living on your own its important to keep to a budget. Make sure you know how much you'll need at the end of each month to handle your expenses (rent, bills, groceries, etc).
You'll also need to make sure to have all the appliances and home accessories (toaster, sheets, cleaning supplies, TV?) that are so easy to take for granted.
Beyond that, be sure to stay up past your bed time and have fun!
Well I suggest for one do your research on how much things cost cause when I first moved out and walked down the toilette paper isle I was lost....lol....I know that might seem funny but you are truly unaware how much and what to buy intell you are doin it.....Well congrats hope it all works out for ya!!!!
You should be able to handle being independent.

Parents of gifted children: How did you get the school to accommodate your child's giftedness?
Rest assured my kid's been professionally tested. I'm not just some deluded parent wishing my kid could get ahead of the pack to boost my own ego.
This is a serious question from a parent who's getting some resistance from the local school district. My kid's psychologist is getting upset with the school too. Of course we're trying to be polite and understanding with the school, but I feel like the school is only being polite back (and not understanding).
My kid is in the wrong grade!Parents of gifted children: How did you get the school to accommodate your child's giftedness?
It was a long time ago, but because it was I have the benefit of hindsight.
My local school district was absolutely unresponsive. Two of my children were gifted. Both were evaluated by a psychologist outside the school.
One child got to start kindergarten at four because the laws hadn't changed, so that helped to some extent. By first grade, though, he was longing for more challenging work. In second grade he requested ';better'; reading. When I asked the teacher about it she said, ';He isn't bored.'; He did what many gifted children do - live with it. He was at the top of his class in elementary school, but like many kids (in general but also kids who are ahead of their peers) he started to lose some motivation in secondary school. He got good enough grades and graduated from college. He would have and should have remained at the very top of his class had his educational needs been met by the school. I had come to realize that he would not get what he needed from school and that I had to supplement his education at home. This was, of course, helpful; but the school's failure to address his needs may have made the difference between a kid who would graduate with high honor from an ivy league school and one who graduated with ok enough grades from a nice school.
By the time my next child came along the laws about kindergarten age had changed. This made a much bigger problem, since she had begun longing to go to school at three years old. I provided the school with all kinds of information about the needs of a child like this, a copy of the evaluation that showed she was several years ahead in all areas including emotional maturity, and all kinds of other information. I asked that she be allowed to begin kindergarten when she would be only six weeks younger than my other child had been when he started. I knew it would not meet all her needs, but I thought that getting her at this time in her development (a year after she's begun asking to go to school) would be a beginning. I would address other issues once she began school. The school committee had it in its power to make an exception, but when it reviewed the case three of the five members voted against allowing my daughter to start school in September when she would turn five in January. I put her in a pre-school program, and she would tell me, ';I feel six. Some of the kids feel five. Patrick and Jessica feel four.';
I had learned with my son that the school offered nothing in particular for gifted children. The trend was to be so worried, too, about whether children were emotionally mature enough to be with older children that wasn't even an option. I was told, ';A lot of kids are very bright, but they aren't emotionally mature enough.....'; My two kids were ALWAYS emotionally very mature. That was the problem. I was able to offer them intellectually challenging activities myself. In school, however, they ';felt'; older than they were. They saw their peers as younger-seeming and quietly just kind of ';went with the program';.
My daughter has always been a strong girl. She didn't allow the fact that she has been unmotivated since she began school stop her from going to college. She has, however, battled with feeling ';in a slump'; ever since she entered secondary school. When they're little they can gain enjoyment from some of the activities with the other kids even if they learn more quickly or have different interests. Once secondary school comes around, though, it can be more difficult for gifted children to remain happy.
My daughter selected a state college as a result of her good-enough grades. She has said it is ';like high-school';, and she has struggled to remain there because she finds it so unmotivating. At 22 years old she is worn out from trying to remain motivated at an unmotivating school, and she is considering leaving after she completes her third year and enrolling in a program that will get her a certificate to work with hearing-impaired people (which is fine, but which would have turned out differently - from the school she attended to any number of other issues - had she had her educational needs met, graduated from high-school a year before the year she did, and graduated college this year (before her endurance wore out).
My kids will be fine. They're intelligent, and intelligent people know how to build their own futures and successes. What is pathetic, though, is that they - like so many gifted students - have learned that schools are where the nicely above average students thrive; while students who are well beyond their peers in abilities are often left to find their own education and own way.
I assume you've found some groups/advocates for parents of gifted children. Someone at one of those may be able to offer you some direction. I think - if I could go back and start over - I may consider trying to find an attorney to sue for my children's right to have their education needs met.Parents of gifted children: How did you get the school to accommodate your child's giftedness?
My aunt had to change school's for my twin cousin's who are very smart, I mean very smart, you might want to look into that. They are in public school, just a better one then before
it is going to be a challenge, i removed my child and sent to private school
I would consider taking it to the Board of Education.
If you child is in the proper class for his/ her age, then it may be better overall to remain with his/her classmates. Moving up a grade is not a huge deal academically speaking.
Well, Get an IEP meetingset up.
Then if you meet resisitance get
';due process';
Remember, after your child is tested for being gifted the school has a certain amount of time to get a program set up
look up your state's school website and discover what the time frame is and be very proactive for your child!
That is one of the questions to ask a school when selecting it.
In Australia, there may be 5 or 6 high schools in your zone area (in cities) with maybe 2 of them that have ';Accelerated Learning Programs';(ALP).
There are 4 years to Senior High then 2 years before going to University
In ALP, they get through the 4 years in 3, and may take longer with Senior High taking a couple of Uni topics to make College life easier.
take it to the board of ed.
look at prep/honors schools. if you have the money send him, if not most of those schools have scholarship programs
Our school has a program for gifted kids, but it sounds like you don't. If she is testing high, have her moved up, or talk directly to the teacher. If these are not options, have you considered home school or private school?revlon cosmetics

What is the most embarrasing thing your parents walked in on you?
Ever had your parents walked in on you doing something embarrasing?
Cause i did alot of times. just wondering how many people is on the same page. first answer will get points!What is the most embarrasing thing your parents walked in on you?
Mom walked in on me and the vacuum cleaner.... you can figure the rest out. ;)What is the most embarrasing thing your parents walked in on you?
Well...
O.O
Nothing. Seriously, my Mom and Dad have never walked in on me doing anything embarrassing. My older brother has almost walked in on me a few times, and my cats have walked in a few times. But walk-ins haven't happened to me yet, since I don't do too much that would be embarrassing, and for the things I do, I keep them VERY secret.
My Dad did, however, find my porn cache. I was transferring it from one computer to another through an external hard drive, and Dad must have gotten ahold of the hard drive before I had a chance to erase it, and later told me that he'd found it. I haven't a clue how much he saw, but he described what he did see as ';disgusting';. :-/
i usually lock my door. butt my mom walked in on me making out with my boyfriend on the bed. i was on top of him, and he freaked and threw me off him and i fell on the floor. she didnt really care but she scared the fucks out of me.
Hah... Well, I was in the bathroom (I was like 5) Trying on makeup! I was dancing and jumping around. My mom just happens to hear and walks in on me! I was so embarrassed! Ha!
they walked in on me jacking off the dog
We all read each other's minds anyways in my house, so nothing gets unnoticed.
i was making Emo Type gloves out of my sisters old shirts.... you can see why that might be suspicious.
My best guy mate says his 'rents walked in on him masturbating with a vibrating pen O_O
Me singing into the back of my hairbrush like it was a microphone in my bedroom. Turns out, I became a singer anyway...
Spanking my geased up MONKEY with a hairbrush handle sticking outta myass.
Waxing my pubes aha ha :) X
Was soooo embarassing x
lighting a joint
lol ummm jet bath tub. all im saying.
I masturbated the dog once... %26gt;.%26gt;
My mother catched me...

Does anyone have good advice for convincing parents to get a hamster?
I need advice, because my parents wont get me a hamster.Does anyone have good advice for convincing parents to get a hamster?
dont ask them two much cause then its just not going to work. If you have any other pets show them you are responsible by taking care of them for nowDoes anyone have good advice for convincing parents to get a hamster?
My family has two dogs, a cat and three guinea pigs. I own three hamsters even when my mom said no. I begged her and begged her and told her that they would be sold to the pet store as snake food. I told her that they would be free and I would pay for the cage and other expenses (food, etc.). She wore down and said yes.
tell them you will pay for it and you will take full care of it.
I'd get a rat instead. They never bite, they're very intelligent, and they bond with you like dogs. Hamsters bite whenever they feel like it. Don't misunderstand Fancy Rats! They're so much different from the typing rat you may find running around your attic.
Start doing chores or more chores and help around the house.
I guess it depends on thier reasons for not letting you have one. If you have other pets they may think that adding another pet would be too much.
If the reason is that they don't think you would be able to care for it you have to show them that you are responsible enough. Tell them that you really would like to have a hamster, do some research on their care and make sure you tell your parents while talking about it that hamsters need this or hamsters need that, the best thing for hamsters is_____, This is what type of cage it would need, this is what it needs to eat, etc.
Then offer to do chores to earn the money to buy the hamster and accesories. This will show that you are serious enough to learn what needs to be done and want it enough to earn it.
Good luck.
say you will clean it's cage as much as required, and they are very fun to play with. tell them it will teach you responsibility and would make you soooo happy. tell them they are low maintenance. then tell them to please think about it first before they shout no.
Well Hamsters Arent That Much Trouble.......You Just Have To Clean The Cage 1-2 Times A Week, Give It New Bedding, Replace Its Water And Food And Play With It.....and thats It Really All There Is To Do.
But You Have To Remember Hamsters Are Nocturnal So They Wont Be Very Playful During The Day. And Also You May Want To Get A Thing For Your Hampster To Exercise Like A Wheel Or Tunnels. Goodluck

How can I move out of my parents house when I have no source of income?
And how can I have a source of income when every company requires experience that I can't get without being hired somewhere?
Life is one big trap and I am stuck. The only answer is to run away and become a hermit, which will happen before long when my parents finally kick me out like they said they would. I wonder how far I can make it on 48 bucks. Make that 40 after I piss away even more money on booze.How can I move out of my parents house when I have no source of income?
That is not true. Get a job at Mcdonalds, heck go apply for a construction job, good pay but obviously hard work.
Sometimes lowering our standards just a bit will open thousands of posibilities. Feeling you are going back instead of forward can deter you from starting something to improve your situation.
remember everyone must sometimes take a few steps back to get enough momentum to jump over an obstacle in life.

What was the best pointless lie your parents ever told you as a child?
Mine was that if you undid your bellybutton your bum falls off.
Tried for years to see if it was true - god knows what i'd have done if they had been right.
Though still have sneaking suspicion they may have been.
Gah, gawd love 'em.What was the best pointless lie your parents ever told you as a child?
That when you are camping there are these huge birds called Kid Hawks and if you go too far away from camp, they will swoop down and pick you up to their nest high in the trees and feed you to their babies.
They added that my grandpa had to save my dad who got picked up by kid hawks back when he was a kid. My papa had to make wings out of paper and fly up to the nest and save my dad. WTF?? Yes, my mom and her cousin made this up and they had been drinking. It's funny now. Can't wait to tell my kids.
The worst part: I believed it til I was 9, and my dad, who was drunk, told me they werent real!What was the best pointless lie your parents ever told you as a child?
My dad used to make me and my sister beer water. Had to make it in the kitchen, it was magic and we couldnt look. It was water when we drank it and turn to beer when it was in our bellys, if we was naughty we wasnt allowed it. lol i loved it. Also another one. the 8 o clock horses.. If kids wasnt in bed by that time they would come get u and lock u up till u was 16.
That if you swallow orange pips a tree will grow in your belly!!
And don't forget the classic if you swallow chewing gum it will wrap round your heart or lungs and kill you!!
The classic one tho has to be yes all children sleep in the shed until it snows!!
We still laugh about that one now. Until i cry and have to ring my councilor!!
If you point at a rainbow, your finger will shrink. The only way to undo the shrinking is to pick your wedgie with that finger.
I'm Lao by the way, so I guess it's one of our things (since I heard my Lao friends talk about this). Sadly, I believed it growing up, so even now you won't ever see me pointing at a rainbow. Haha. I think grownups just hate it when you point.
That the tooth fairy takes your teeth to give to fairies who have no teeth.
It is the best lie because it is actually a terrifying thought - tiny little fairies with child sized teeth.
I used to ask my mum where she'd been and she said ';to see a man about a dog';
I believed her and was sad when no dog materialised
If you swallow watermelon seeds you will start to become a watermelon tree.
That Brussel sprouts were just baby cabbages
If i told a lie my tounge would turn black!
Or thunder is when 2 clowns bash together(i misheard them say clouds)=)
Took me years to figure out they were lies=)
not to go too near the swans when we were feeding them as their wings could break your leg!! imagine
That if I was bad E.T would get me...
(Im scared of that thing :( )
That the orange juice the milkman delivered came from brown cows! lol :)
';If you hit your brother your arm will dry and fall off';
ha! I still have my arms, hands and my feet ♥
to have babies you have to take a pill
If i didn't eat my crusts i wouldn't get curly hair...now i spend half hour at a time straightening my hair! hahaha!
that if I was bad they'd take me to the orphanage

I do not know anything about my Dad's parents which in turn puts myself and my children in a bad place as far as medical conditions go. He won't talk to my brothers or I so I can't get any information there, and his adoptive parents have passed away. How can I find out who his parents were or just what their medical history contains?How do I find my Fathers biological parents?
Try creating a profile on adoption.com
It'll help if you know his birthdate, the city (even better - the hospital) where he was born, hair %26amp; eye color, etc. His birth parents may be looking for him on there.
That's how my biological mother found me.
Good luck!

Parents wpuld you put a photo of your child on facebook?
I would love to put some photos of my son on there. But I am not sure whether this is a good idea. I know there is a safety setting, but nothing is fool proof is it?
I know im probably bieng a bit overprotective, but in this day and age i dont think you can be too careful. What do you all think?Parents wpuld you put a photo of your child on facebook?
personally, i wouldnt. You never know who is looking, and what we would consider an innocent photo may be taken differently by some of the weirdos out there.Parents wpuld you put a photo of your child on facebook?
well, I have pictures of my daughter on myspace! She is two 1/2 and I have my profile set to PRIVATE.. so you have to be in my friend list, or in order to become my friend you have to know my full name and email, and still even then i have to approve the add. SO I would say that its safe as far as how I have done it. .and I understand your concern.. I am not sure what privacy settings Facebook has..but I would say go for it. as long as your location is not revealed you should be just fine!
Well, as long as you don't give our your address and phone number on facebook, i dont' see a problem with putting pictures up.
I think pedophiles are targeting kids who put up profiles at these sites, not parents who put up kids' pictures, if you see what i mean.
Yes, my sons even have their own facebook pages. There are privacy settings that allow you to be unsearchable, as well as only allowing friends to view your profile, my kids and I are all on those settings.
I trust everyone who can see them either on my profile or their own, and it's a great way for the people who live far away to keep up with their growth etc.
Yes - Have lots of pictures of our family on facebook and videos on youtube - i think you can be a bit too careful, and it's nice for people who I very rarely see (like my cousin in Australia) to see how were all getting on!
Hi i am a mum to 4 and i have as my children doesnt go anywhere without myself or family or well known friends even then i will have the parents phone numbers and my children will have mine (hes learning our phone no at the moment) its upto the individual
I have 100's of photos of my 2 children on facebook my profile is set to private and my pictures are all locked to friends only.
so long a you know that your friends lists are people you know then this is fine no worry's
Good luck
why don't you put them as private and you can choose who can see them and who can't that way you can be sure about the safety and only the ones who you want can see it
I don't have facebook but do have myspace and its set to private and I only have people that I know as my friends so yes I put my kids pics on there...that is how we all share pics so everyone can see them and leave comments.
i dont use facebook, i use bebo. and my profile is now set to private with pics of my daughter on it. my profile pic is me and my BF, so the only people who can view pics of my daughter is those on my friends list.
I think it's fine, people can't view your photo album unless they are friends, just make sure you don't accept random friends. Also I don't have any contact info on my facebook.
I don't use facebook but I do have myspace and I have lots of pics of my kids up, I keep my page private and only add people I know

How do you prove you have a parent's consent to marry in Japan?
I'm 19 years old and am planning on getting married in Japan (to a Japanese national), but apparently if you're under 20 you need a parent's consent. I've heard things like they need to sign the 婚姻届け, etc, but nothing official... anyone know EXACTLY what I need to get signed?
Thank you very much!How do you prove you have a parent's consent to marry in Japan?
Ahhhhhh Rick. He's not of legal age in Japan. Legal age in Japan is 20. It's going to be a bit sticky if you are a foreigner because your parents don't have an 印鑑 nor an 印鑑証明書 which is what you might need to prove that they actually stamped (signed) the document. You'd better check at the local government office where you want to get married. The local laws are different from place to place and the paperwork you need to fill out is also different.
So to find out what you EXACTLY need to get signed depends on where you live. Save yourself a lot of headache and go to the 市役所 or 役場 or whatever your local government has and ask them EXACTLY what you need to do.
Sorry to sound so mean, but if you want to save yourself some time, that's what you got to do.How do you prove you have a parent's consent to marry in Japan?
From what my brother has tol me you need only the family registry form and the Marriage license and both of you can get married. You must be eighteen and male and at least 16 and female to be married in Japan. You need to fill out the forms at the website listed and both of you can be married
.If you were underage you would need a signed agreement from your parents consent to marry. This can be from a living parent, either mother of father and if both are dead then your guardian can sign the form. You can all forms and marriage license on-line. The form is marriage Consent form and you must have that signed to apply for marriage license in most countries. Since both of you are of legal age and you are marrying a Japanese National it will be much easier for you to get married.. I have given you the website where you can download all forms needed.

What was the most humiliating thing your parents ever did?
About 2 years ago in Myrtle Beach, at the hotel we were staying at, they had like, karaoke night. My Mom, got up on stage and sang, :Bette Davis Eyes'; When I saw her go up on stage, my mouth dropped open and I ran over to the hotel's lazy river. Because if i wouldn't have, she would have did something stupid just for the sake of embarrassing me.
So, What was the most humiliating thing your parents ever did.What was the most humiliating thing your parents ever did?
Beat me in a store parking lot. They mostly beat us at home, but that time my mother just beat me in public. They were always abusive to us, physically, mentally, and emotionally, it was just normal for us.What was the most humiliating thing your parents ever did?
I don't really know...
I mean, my dad's pretty crazy but both my parents amuse people in a good way.
I don't get embarrassed by other people, just myself. But I don't even embarrass myself often. Just because I don't feel embarrassed.
Though I tend to embarrass my friends. But I do it on purpose, because it amuses me how I can embarrass someone else. I say something really loud and they'll be like ';Shut up!'; and look around to make sure no one's watching us.
:)
I can't think of anything right now, oh actually my dad is pretty humiliating. When he's talking to someone, he will put on the same accent that they have, yes 'scouse' 'indian' 'scottish'.... all of them!!
I just have to walk away.
My sisters friend has just been telling me that her mum looked through her phone book and got all the numbers of the boys, then phoned them up to ask how they knew her and why they had her number!! Now that is shameful!!
We were out on our weekly shop and my dad just started to randomly dance in the middle of the shop! - he was trying to be discreet by walking at the same time. LOL.
He just done it for the sake of embarrassing me.
I just had to walk away.
My dad humiliates me in front of my younger siblings a lot. They stopped respecting me and dont listen to me anymore.
And my mom told my english teacher things I didn't want her to day.
I won't get deeper into that, but it really made me nervous and embarrassed.
Once when my mom was picking me up from school, she loudly said ';Amanda! I got your favorite Spongebob Depends!';
I don't get embarrassed easily (My parents have made sure of that) but that was pretty bad.
I think the most embarrassing things my parents used to do was to ask me to play guitar in front of a group of people, and then start talking over me when I played.
We were driving on the highway and my Dad couldn't wait until the next rest stop and took a leak right out in the open. I was so embarrassed! People drove by honking . . .
As a kid, on several occasions, my parents would beat me with a belt in front of my friends. It was way different in the 50s and 60s. Don't be too humiliated, folks tend to forget.
Ummm thinking about it my parents have never been that bad.
The worst they've ever done is probably just saying how wonderful I am in front of my teachers at parent's evening who obviously just wanted to puke! :P
Well, my mother is trying to become like, best friends with the guy I like.
She's weird and generally embarrassing.
So yuh. D:
My mum discusses my medication with my brothers girl Friends.
Your mum sounds pretty cool though.
phoned a boy and asked him his address so she could come pick me up early....
LOL! I LOVE it, only one to have a TD - it was a party...
on my birthday this year...they met my bf for the first time and they asked him 100?s an it was not all that needed...
Gave me this face dear.........
THEY CREATED ME.
there are too many to count.
Not so much humiliating, but my dad would always spit comb my hair at the mall when I was little.. ick!
Cheers =)
What? Apart from the baby photgraphs they got out to show the new bf and questioning another on the 2nd date what his parents did for a living announcing they needed to know if he could afford me, telling one that I would be no good as a housewife as my mother always had to pick up my clothes off the floor in my room, and ';getting their names mixed up'; as they told them...........sending the bf running because they thought I was going out with others ( which I wasn't) it was just a tactic to get rid of the ones my parents didn't like.
Then there was my father standing at the door waiting, with camera and note book in hand, taking photos of the new bf and his car, jotting down the car registration and the 101 questions he asked before he got to walk inside and making a note of the answers.....then tell us to have a lovely time, that he knew where the bf lived, car number, job, etc etc and if I was brought back late then he would call the police or of course a more serious bf was invited to Sunday lunch and my father decided he didn't like him, so sat at the table recieved his dinner, went to the conservatory, got a deck chair and took his dinner to the top of the garden to eat it......in full view of us all and my mother pretended this was perfectly normal............I don't think I would have ever married had my father not passed away ( far too early at 42 years old)

How do you handle siblings having different parents in PAF 5?
I am trying to do genealogy using Personal Ancestral File 5. My siblings all have different fathers, but if I add one parent it makes him the parent of all of us, which isn't accurate. How do I get around this? I tried changing the marital status to divorced, which isn't really accurate either, but would be closer to true, and it still does not allow for more than one father to be connected to my mother.How do you handle siblings having different parents in PAF 5?
Click on the mother.
Click on ';Add Spouse';.
Add as many as you need.
';Spouse'; doesn't mean ';Husband'; in this case; it means ';Father';. You don't have to add a marriage fact if there was no marriage.
Unlink the children you have added from their false fathers, if you can. If you can't, you'll have to delete them. Write their records numbers down if you can unlink them
Select each child, click on ADD %26gt; Father. Select the right man. If you had to delete them, click on each father, Add %26gt; Child. It should ask you the mother, and ';know'; she is connected to them.
Unsolicited plug: I use Roots Magic, $29. They couldn't sell it if it wasn't better than PAF. I have PAF just to help people. It is clumsy. RM lets you unlink children easily. PAF doesn't.How do you handle siblings having different parents in PAF 5?
I have similar family situations, but doing what Ted Pack suggests works well. Once you get to know the program, it isn`t that bad. There are also lots of other programs you can buy if you are serious, but you can figure it out on PAF. =-)
sounds like you need to use a different type of File. I had much the same problem, and had to hand print it in.

Parents: What was the last argument you go into with your current partner or you ex?
could be your husband/boyfriend/ex whatever. what was the last argument or disagreement about? who turned out to be right lol?Parents: What was the last argument you go into with your current partner or you ex?
';No we do not chase asthmatic toddlers around the house, period, but especially when i'm trying to get her ready for bed';
Gee can you guess who the speaker/winner was in that arguement?
##Chase had 10 more weeks to go- I was accused of the same thing, how dare I change, I wasn't allowed to change. Some of us (usually the women) do settle down when having children, they don't get it###Parents: What was the last argument you go into with your current partner or you ex?
My last argument was with my ex over our 2 kids, I asked him to pitch in 10$ towards their 100$ halloween costumes and he said he did not have any money and he had to get new tires on his car and blah blah and his food stamps had been cut back...I was FLOORED! he is claiming my kids for food stamps when he has them for the wkend!!! I just could not get over the shock so I went off on him and of course I was right and I was also right to be pissed about him not giving me 10$ towards 100$ because he ';had no money'; yet he had a halloween party and on his myspace blog it even said ';we supply the food etc'; no money for kids but money for booze? This is just one of many arguments like this and it makes me so angry!
The hubby on the other hand has been very sweet (he must want something!)
Our last argument was the day before yesterday. He accused me of changing and not being the same person as before. Duh, we're married now, have a daughter, and I'm pregnant with a son on the way. We were arguing all night, up until 6 in the morning. He didn't think anything could be solved and I have no idea what he thinks marriage is supposed to be like. I keep telling him we are not children anymore. We HAVE children, we're no longer teenagers that run amok, we have responsibilities. We ended up talking it out but this pregnancy has had us going round for round. Hopefully we'll be fine. Divorce is not an option.
It鈥檚 rare for us to have a full blown argument, but as late as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, I was still dealing with his whining about having to drive cross state to visit my relatives for the holiday.
I can鈥檛 say that I disagreed totally with him on not wanting to go, but I feel like w should visit them once in awhile.
I am mad because we put in new windows and his dad has promised us that he would come over and finish them (the outside is not done and we are now on the 3rd snowfall of the season). His dad told us he would be here on Sat at 2:00 and he never showed up or called. (This is not the first time he has blown us off). My 3 year old said, with a sad look on her face, ';Grandpa didn't come over.';
I told him how mad I was at his dad for hurting my daughter and that I want nothing more to do with him. (There is a lot of issues that everyone doesn't know about.)
I know everyone will tell me I am wrong.
Hm. We don't argue much. We bicker all the time, but it's more good natured.
I think the last true argument was about his hours at work. That was eons ago though. We compromised, so I don't know who was right and don't care - he's home more and on a regular schedule now, so it's all good.
We bicker about the DUMBEST things all the time...actually we will go through spells of getting along great and then spells of bickering. We argued about three nights ago but I can't remember what it was about, something dumb, I do know that.
We argued yesterday about our daughters diaper rash that got worse, he accused me of not changing her enough which really pissed me off (and still does) turns out he made it worse by putting her medicated Excema cream on her thinking it was diaper rash oinment!
I won't share the details of the argument, but I was right. I am always right. Just ask my husband; after 30 years of marriage, he knows how to answer that question.
This morning, he just woke up in a bad mood. Everything I said, it turned into a big argument.
Of course, as always, I WAS RIGHT!!
Well my ex cheated on me I was so mad! So of course I was right haha =]. I like this question. Star for you!

I just could not get over the shock so I went off on him and of course I was right and I was also right to be pissed about him not giving me 10$ towards 100$ because he ';had no money'; yet he had a halloween party and on his myspace blog it even said ';we supply the food etc'; no money for kids but money for booze? This is just one of many arguments like this and it makes me so angry!
The hubby on the other hand has been very sweet (he must want something!)
Our last argument was the day before yesterday. He accused me of changing and not being the same person as before. Duh, we're married now, have a daughter, and I'm pregnant with a son on the way. We were arguing all night, up until 6 in the morning. He didn't think anything could be solved and I have no idea what he thinks marriage is supposed to be like. I keep telling him we are not children anymore. We HAVE children, we're no longer teenagers that run amok, we have responsibilities. We ended up talking it out but this pregnancy has had us going round for round. Hopefully we'll be fine. Divorce is not an option.
It鈥檚 rare for us to have a full blown argument, but as late as breakfast on Thanksgiving morning, I was still dealing with his whining about having to drive cross state to visit my relatives for the holiday.
I can鈥檛 say that I disagreed totally with him on not wanting to go, but I feel like w should visit them once in awhile.
I am mad because we put in new windows and his dad has promised us that he would come over and finish them (the outside is not done and we are now on the 3rd snowfall of the season). His dad told us he would be here on Sat at 2:00 and he never showed up or called. (This is not the first time he has blown us off). My 3 year old said, with a sad look on her face, ';Grandpa didn't come over.';
I told him how mad I was at his dad for hurting my daughter and that I want nothing more to do with him. (There is a lot of issues that everyone doesn't know about.)
I know everyone will tell me I am wrong.
Hm. We don't argue much. We bicker all the time, but it's more good natured.
I think the last true argument was about his hours at work. That was eons ago though. We compromised, so I don't know who was right and don't care - he's home more and on a regular schedule now, so it's all good.
We bicker about the DUMBEST things all the time...actually we will go through spells of getting along great and then spells of bickering. We argued about three nights ago but I can't remember what it was about, something dumb, I do know that.
We argued yesterday about our daughters diaper rash that got worse, he accused me of not changing her enough which really pissed me off (and still does) turns out he made it worse by putting her medicated Excema cream on her thinking it was diaper rash oinment!
I won't share the details of the argument, but I was right. I am always right. Just ask my husband; after 30 years of marriage, he knows how to answer that question.
This morning, he just woke up in a bad mood. Everything I said, it turned into a big argument.
Of course, as always, I WAS RIGHT!!
Well my ex cheated on me I was so mad! So of course I was right haha =]. I like this question. Star for you!
How many people have gone against their parents wishes for their wedding plans and regretted it?
Have you got married or planned your wedding and had a difference of opinion with your parents? has it been over things like $ or religion? what, what, when, how's invited etc.? and if so what was the outcome and how would you have done things differently?
I am coming to the conclusion that it's my way or the highway, in other words i'd rather just not have the wedding if I can't have what I want and I will resent them anyway, therefore everyone misses out, so it's a loose loose.How many people have gone against their parents wishes for their wedding plans and regretted it?
If you are over 18 and footing the bill for the wedding, then you should have the wedding you want. If parents are paying and they won't honor what your wishes are (as long as they are realistic and you aren't sending them to the poor house), then maybe go with something very simple. I haven't had the issue but a close girlfriend of mine had parents who where paying for everything and pretty much veto'd every thing she wanted. It became a nightmare. Mom picked out the colors of her bridesmaid dresses because the bright pink the bride wanted didn't ';match'; the fall time of year. Mom argued her way into the cake flavors, even who the photographer was. 3 weeks before the wedding, my girlfriend eloped because it was causing her so much stress. She went through with the ';wedding'; and gave her Mom a copy of their real wedding certificate as a ';thank you'; gift a few days later.How many people have gone against their parents wishes for their wedding plans and regretted it?
My inlaws had very specific ideas about my wedding as did my mother and grandmother. So my hubby and I worked hard to make it as accommodating to everyone as possible.
However when we went to the reception we realised that my mother inlaw had gone behind our backs with our reception venue and rearranged it to her satisfaction.
Nine years later I am still upset about the sneakiness of what happened. Our wedding day (and leading up to it) was a nightmare. Looking back, I wished we had eloped but at the time I was scared that I would regret it.
If you are paying for your own wedding what is the problem choose what u want and go for it now if your parents are paying the bill in any way shouldn't they have some say? They just want the day to be perfect as you do. no it might not be the same ideas you have but couldn't you incorporate some of what they want into the wedding? You are making it way more difficult than it has to be. The day is about marrying your man not about how big or how much the wedding cost by the time its all said and done you will be married and all the money is now gone. You can both have what u want but one of u has to give a little and if u don't like ur parents ideas than don't accept their money and pay for it yourself. you sound like a bridezilla if u can't be happy no is going to be. It's about marrying ur life long partner not about anything else.

Parents, what is the difference between smacking and spanking?
I just saw a question titled ';Do you support smacking kids?'; and the answers almost all said something along the lines of: 'spanking, yes, but smacking, never.' So excuse my ignorance, but what is the difference?Parents, what is the difference between smacking and spanking?
Means the same thing, different dialect. In the UK, they say ';smacking'; in the US, they say ';spanking';. Just like in the US it's called a ';backyard,'; in teh UK, a ';garden'; In the US, a ';stroller,'; in teh UK, a ';push chair.';Parents, what is the difference between smacking and spanking?
There's not really a difference. I guess it could be assumed that a smack is just like one slap on the hand or butt, but spanking is multiple hits on the backside. However, I've seen people refer to just one swat as spanking and an actual spanking as smacking too. And I also think that different terms are used in different countries.
Smacking = English
Spanking = American
Some American's think that when we say smacking we're talking about slapping a child in the face etc, we're not, a smack is the same as a spank, both wrong and inappropriate in my opinion, but each to their own, both the same thing.
There isn't one in this context. Spanking is the term used in America for what people in the UK or Aus would call smacking. However, as I understand it, in the US smacking has the connotation of ';a smack in the mouth'; type violence. (And in the UK spanking has a strong sexual link).
Other thank the obvious cultural difference that has already been noted, I've always considered spanking to be multiple hits to one's butt and smacking to be a singular hit, not necessarily isolated to the butt(face, hand, butt, etc.).
Spanking is when you 'smack' the kid on the behind, usually with a stick or a cane or a ruler.
Smacking is usually harder and you use your hand, it can be anywhere so Spanking hurts less (the behind is softer?).
That's what I think.
It depends which country you are from. In the US smacking is usually viewed as a hit to the face, whereas spanking is on the bottom. It the UK and Australia smacking is viewed the same as spanking.
Basically, they are the same. The term used depends on where you live. I think that there should be no smacking or spanking on children unless there is a VERY good reason and all other punishments have failed. Otherwise, it is abuse!
Smacking is the English term, Spanking is the American term.
There is no relation to it being in the face or on the body. It's just geography.
What we call spanking here in the U.S., striking the bottom, is generally called smacking in the U.K. On the other hand, often when we say smacking here in the U.S. we are referring to slapping the face.
It is all physical violence. There really is no difference. It is all illogical, unintelligent, lazy parenting.
Different countries call it different things.
Here smacking is a tap to the bum
Spanking is something that my husband does to me.
He was smacked if he got his face slapped. On the other hand, one hit to the rear end can be a smack, where as multiple hits to the rear end is definitely spanking.
Smacking is usually in the face, spanking is anywhere else.
I agree
smacking is where you slap em real hard!
spanking is were u slap em on and on ye so thats the differance
naughty children get smacked

How do go about getting an absent parent to sign there rights over?
I have a daughter and she is 5 now. Her dad doesn't help me do anything and I want him to sign his rights over. I don't recieve any child support...there is an child support order, but he lies about his employment so he won't have to pay. What are some of my options and how do I go about getting this dead beat dad to sign his rights over?How do go about getting an absent parent to sign there rights over?
Do you have a spouse who wants to adopt your daughter? If you do file paperwork for termination of rights and adoption papers. If there is not someone wanting to adopt your daughter most states will not terminate the rights of the father. However, you can file for sole custody if you can show he is a negligent father.
When you file for adoption the state will require you to run an ad in a newspaper for a certain length of time which allows him to contest the adoption. My advice would be to have an attorney contact him and offer to forgive back child support if he signs his rights over to your spouse. this allows the adoption to move much faster, otherwise it can take a year or more to finalize. An attorney will be able to locate him by using a private investigator so don't worry if you don't know. where he is. Contact a good attorney in your area. My own experiences have taught me that he who has the best attorney wins their case.How do go about getting an absent parent to sign there rights over?
My sister had that same problem. Her baby's dad was nowhere to be found so there are some legal actions you can take to get him out of the picture. She didn't know where he disappeared too so she had to put something in the newspaper to notify him that he will be removed from the birth certificate or something and if he wanted to object he could but more then likely they don't see it or don't care now my sister has since been remarried and her daughter has been adopted by her new husband
I'm going through the same thing my daughter's sperm donor is in prison and he refuse to sign over his rights, he didn't do anything for her and probably won't do anything when he gets out. It's extremely frustrating when they do things out of spite. I would love to know how to do this without him having to sign, I live in Texas and the law is screwed up here so it might not change anything.

What is the proper punishment for abusive parents?
Regarding the two little boys that ran away because their parents had put them in a dog cage and even had the older of the two wear a shock collar used in training animals. They ran away, I think they were 10 and 5, they knew they should not have been treated like that, now you are the judge and jury, what punishment would you impose? Should the punishment fit the crime, or should they endure more pain - because they were adults?What is the proper punishment for abusive parents?
they should be treated and punished the same way for what they have done... they should also both have their sexual organs removed so they could never put any more children through such cruelty..What is the proper punishment for abusive parents?
Time, age, and wisdom they should be given.
They will devise their punishment.
Judgment and retribution are not mine.
Cycles of abuse are not broken by punishments, and perhaps reinforce a hypocritical notion violence is appropriate.
why don't you let those who are in charge of the prosecuting/sentencing decide what punishment these people should receive?
I feel that abusive parents should have the same horrible things done to them or to be put under the jail and never see the light of day again how could a parent hurt an innocent child ?
The parents deserve jail time. And counseling. The kids should be taken away from them until the parents are ready to behave normally.
ugh some people can be so sick! death won't do it. they deserve to spend their lives in jail and get raped by 300 pound thugs.
If I were the judge or jury I'd give the parents the same treatment they gave their sons. I don't know what else would show them that what they did was so painful to the boys mentally and physically..after they were given the treatment then they would be sent to a ';boot camp'; for hard labor. I don't know if people who have these kinds of minds can ever be cured they might have to be held for the rest of their lives.
I would put them in jail for the rest of their lives.....and let them experience what the children went through......child abuse is just plain cruel......I don't know how anyone gets enjoyment out of children's pain!!
DEATH!!!!
dude...an eye for an eye...let them experience wat the kids went through...only worst...
I'd throw a ticker-tape parade for the parents. Let's celebrate the abuse!
Beheading?
Let them stand before God, for they have harmed his children. And God will give them the worse punishment... Soemthing we wont be able to do in this earth.
The kids should be given up for adoption so they know what a loving family life is. The parents should be sterilised so they cannot ever have any more kids and they should spend at least 10 yrs in jail too.
Put them on jail. They may need counseling.
This question just makes me want to cry. Some people should not have children. I think they should be sterilized, first of all, then they should be locked up with their parental rights terminated permanently so maybe some graceful person will adopt the children, though it is unlikely. My personal take on it is they should be shot, but I think that is not an option, maybe the electric chair, definately capital punishment, they have effective killed thesechildren by robbing them of hte proper skills neccessary to ever live a normal life.

How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?
I know i probably wont have a full paying job at that time, but i really want to move as soon as possible! I only have 3 years to think about this. And believe it or not, I'll be Leaving HS as a Junior in College (long story!) so I really want to become more independent from my parents. Where should i live? I hear campus is alittle corrupted at the moment...How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?
i think that you could start working now and save up for an apartment or something but i think it is best to stay at home if that's an option because that way you can still work through college, but you won't have to pay rent or anything. i understand that you want your privacy, so try setting up ground rules for your parents or something, make sure that they understand that you need your own privacy and shouldn't or don't want to be treated like a child.How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?
Well I'm a senior in high school and I thought I wanted to move out and that I would right after I graduated high school. Well I changed my mind. I'm not ready to move out yet and I'll be 17 when I graduate so there's no way I'll be able to get an apartment. Suucks.
stay at home until your done with school!! trust me on this one, you will miss it

Skype makes it really easy: http://www.skype.com

Just install Skype (http://www.skype.com/) on both computers, it will allow you to talk (like a phone) and/or video chat, all for free.
It's quite simple, and both computers should have microphones built into them, so you should be set to go. Don't use anything else....skype is free, easy, and trusted: Even Oprah uses it on her show ;)
It's not possible!
That's like trying to call someone who has a Nokia from a Samsung phone!!
Madness!!!

What is the best way for uneducated parents to support & encourage their 3rd grader to read?
He is having difficulties and will fall behind this year if he doesn't get the help required. We feel part of his problem is focusing.....What is the best way for uneducated parents to support %26amp; encourage their 3rd grader to read?
Reading is the key to understanding other subjects and life references. Fortunately, you are aware of the importance or reading, hence your question. That is the first step to success, supportive parents.

I remember when my son was about your sons age. Getting him to read was like pulling out my hair. Very frustrating. I then asked his teacher the same question you are asking. She replied, get him to read something he is interested in. She said, she didn't care if it was a cook book or the comics. At least he would be reading. So basically, your answer is, anything %26amp; everything. It didn't matter to the teacher what he was reading, as long as he was reading. It worked with my son. He also had trouble focusing, however, we found it was only with the work the teacher gave. If I had him read something he was interested in, boy, what a difference.revlon cosmetics

How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?

And believe it or not, I'll be Leaving HS as a Junior in College (long story!) so I really want to become more independent from my parents. Where should i live? I hear campus is alittle corrupted at the moment...How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?
i think that you could start working now and save up for an apartment or something but i think it is best to stay at home if that's an option because that way you can still work through college, but you won't have to pay rent or anything. i understand that you want your privacy, so try setting up ground rules for your parents or something, make sure that they understand that you need your own privacy and shouldn't or don't want to be treated like a child.How should I go about moving from parents house after High School?
Well I'm a senior in high school and I thought I wanted to move out and that I would right after I graduated high school. Well I changed my mind. I'm not ready to move out yet and I'll be 17 when I graduate so there's no way I'll be able to get an apartment. Suucks.
stay at home until your done with school!! trust me on this one, you will miss it

How can I video chat with my parents when I have an apple and they have a laptop?
My dad has a laptop with a built in camera, and I have an apple with a built in camera. How can we video chat?How can I video chat with my parents when I have an apple and they have a laptop?
Skype makes it really easy: http://www.skype.comHow can I video chat with my parents when I have an apple and they have a laptop?
Just install Skype (http://www.skype.com/) on both computers, it will allow you to talk (like a phone) and/or video chat, all for free.
It's quite simple, and both computers should have microphones built into them, so you should be set to go. Don't use anything else....skype is free, easy, and trusted: Even Oprah uses it on her show ;)
It's not possible!
That's like trying to call someone who has a Nokia from a Samsung phone!!
Madness!!!
Try something like 6rounds.com - it's a website and doesn't require any downloads, so all you'll have to do is register with the two computers and than start a video chat.
that shouldnt stop u from talkin um well best bet is to type in gooogle video or web chat download and you both dl the same chat app.

How can you get help without your parents knowing?
If someone is suffering from depression and thinks about suicide can The person who is under age get help without their parents knowing?How can you get help without your parents knowing?
I think your parents are going to find out regardless, but this should not stop you from asking for help.
Please, please get help.How can you get help without your parents knowing?
No you need your parents as you are a minor. Just as to be taken to the docs as you are not feeling well and then tell the doc everything and he can take it from there. You do not have to have your parents in the exam room with you.
Yes---you can speak to your school counselor OR....
in my area we have a 24 hour ';Crisis Line';, it's actually listed in the phone book as ';CrisisLine'; and you can speak to them anonymously, they are an enormous help to those in need.
Good luck, sweetie...no matter how bad you think life is, just turn on Jerry Springer and watch those losers--you'll feel much better.
talk to your guidance counsellor, or call one of those teen hotlines. But i would recommend you talk to you parents, they love you and would want to help, or even your sibling or another close relative, even your best friend.
Obtaining help outside of the home, and before giving out any information asking if the information you give will be given to your parents without your consent; if the answer is yes then don't proceed and look for another means to get help.
Good luck, hope every thing works out in your favor
ABSOLUTELY!!
Now, please, understand this, your parents SHOULD be involved. That is my personal opinion of course, and I had to state it. However, if you truely DON'T want them to know (at least for now), you do need to go to someone of authority in your life (principle at school, guidance counselor, a trusted friend's parent). Tell them that they must keep this private!!
Depression is mind-boggling in it's way of taking over a life. It also can't be solved by any quick fixes. Just the fact that you are willing to ask for help means that you have recognized the problem, and want to change, and I applaud you for that (that is the hardest part of any treatment). Sometimes just talking about it in the open helps, but if it's true depression, many times medication must be used to even the balance of brain chemicals. If that is needed, you will probably have to get your parents involved, but you can do that on your terms, not theirs.
Talk to someone, anyone, sweetie. I denied my depression for years........until the day that I actually attempted suicide. That was my wake up call, and I'm doing better now with counseling and medication. I was one of the lucky ones......I survived!! I see now that nothing was worth the loss of my life, but at the time, everything was so dark.....
If you want an impartial ear without fear of consequences, contact me at ndars1@yahoo.com. I'll be happy to talk anytime!!!
yes they can contact your doctor.
Certainly. If that person feels that way, then they do need to get help. It would probably be smart to involve your parents, so that they know whats going on with you. But if the person doesn't want to, then they should go to someone they can trust, and adult they trust, and confide in them. A guidance councelor would be a good help, depending on how you approach it. The person could also call numerous amounts of ';help lines';, or whatever you want to call them. That way, your identity is more concealed and they won't tell the parents.
The biggest mistake would be not to let the parents know about the situation. I mean, can you think of one single person that will love you more and worry about you more than a parent? Any shrink or therappist you go to for solving this problem will advise you that he/she has to talk to your parents about it, as it would be indicative of a very serious matter. So, my advice would be for the person to level with the parents, let them know what's happening, and take it from there with their help. The only exception for this would be if the parents are precisely the cause for this depression, in which case it would be recommendable to talk with the school counselor or to a minister or priest. Now, these problems require the person to act as soon as possible in order to avoid getting physically or spiritually hurt.
No, not real help,parents consent must be obtained.If you are suffering from depression why would you not want your parents to know? If they love you they would want to know that is what they are for to help you. I wish you the best!!!
please talk to a counselor at school %26amp; explain to them why you do not want your parents involved, maybe they can get you some help. or check in you local telephone directory under counceling services, there may be a communtiy outreach program. i am not going to preach because i know everyone is different, but as a parent i would like to think my kids could share something like this with me. please realize what ever is wrong in your life right now isn't going to be this bad for long. time changes things, life has ups %26amp; downs your just in a down right now. good luck to you.
yeah to talk to a adult
yes you can. they have teen clinics where they offer confidential services to teens.
Kids help phone 1-800-668-6868. Your family doctor would also be a good person to talk to or a school counselor. Just remember there are people out there like family and friends that care about you and would want to know and help if you're feeling this way. Sometimes just talking to someone helps. Good luck.

You could probably set the process in motion by talking to a guidance councilor are your school. If your parents are part of the issue tell the guidance councilor all about it. If you feel this way it's not a time to shut your parents out. If anything open up to them and they will help you that's their job.

How do I move out of my parent's house and into an apartment of my own?

Get a room mate if you have to!How do I move out of my parent's house and into an apartment of my own?
that selected answer was kind of yelling but oh well.
I think you must get some room mates to share expenses with. This is fun and often easy. Place an ad in the local newspaper or on the ad site on TV and find some roomies. Do not sign a lease on an apartment because you or one of your roomies may want to move back home in a few weeks, When you get tired of peanut butter sandwiches and cold pizza, home will not look so bad.
get better education so you can get higher paying job then you could move out of your parents' house.
My advice is to be more financially secure i.e a better paid job and some money in your savings account for rainy days before leaving home otherwise you will soon be running back. Believe me. Everything costs money Its not as easy as you think even by having a flatmate.
get a roomate
That is what moving out on your own will teach you. Maby moving out on your own will teach you how hard it is for your parents to support themselves,and a family.
It will be up to you to find a place to rent,that will fit into your budget. I didn't notice how old you are.
try finding someone who is looking for a roommate. It is hard to do but hang in there and it will happen. Just do not lose hope and keep looking : )

Is it possible to become a foster parent for a child in an orphanage?
My husband and I want to adopt and have been to two orphanages and contacted a few adoption agencies. We have only received referals for older children, we even met an adorable 5 year old boy in the orphanage and just fell in love with him right away.
Since there are so many things to consider while adopting an older child, we are still very confused but would like to start a family as soon as possible.
We have thought about fostering the boy we met or another child for a while to see how compatible we are as a family and to test out the situation and see if this is what we really want and if this is what we really need in our lives right now.
Is this possible?
If so, what would I have to do? Whom should I contact?
Do you think being a foster parent is a good idea?Is it possible to become a foster parent for a child in an orphanage?
Yup! I'm a foster mom of 4 and have three of my own. Love it!! You'll have to work this stuff out with the orphanage though because most foster kids are in the state system. They are wards of the stateIs it possible to become a foster parent for a child in an orphanage?
I guess I have a few questions for you? Are you settling for an older child. Seems like you want a newborn. I have an adopted son who is almost 2 but I got him the second he was born. I was actually got to help deliver him. There are a lot of agencies that deal with women when they are still pregnant and you can actually go to the doctors visits with them etc.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with older children but they do come with a lot emotional baggage. And they are a great addition to your family, but I think it is better to start with a newborn just for the whole experience. Than you could adopt or foster older kids later.
Here is the agency I used. They have a few different locations throughout the US. They give you free counseling etc. http://www.adoptionhelp.org/
if your going to tell a perfectly capable woman that she should abort her unborn child u dont deserve a child! Fostering is a great idea just not for you!
excellent idea!! There's alot of kids that are in need of good, loving homes. Try and contact your local child protective agency about becomeing a foster parent. They would be able to give you information on how to get licesenced. Children in ophanages are still in the state system. After becoming a foster parent to these children you can adopt if you choose.
whoah, they still have orphanages??? are you talking in the US?
Since there are so many things to consider while adopting an older child, we are still very confused but would like to start a family as soon as possible.
We have thought about fostering the boy we met or another child for a while to see how compatible we are as a family and to test out the situation and see if this is what we really want and if this is what we really need in our lives right now.
Is this possible?
If so, what would I have to do? Whom should I contact?
Do you think being a foster parent is a good idea?Is it possible to become a foster parent for a child in an orphanage?
Yup! I'm a foster mom of 4 and have three of my own. Love it!! You'll have to work this stuff out with the orphanage though because most foster kids are in the state system. They are wards of the stateIs it possible to become a foster parent for a child in an orphanage?

Best time to start education as a parent?
In the womb? I ask because I have been studying whether or not playing educational discs for babies in the womb is beneficial. When did you start your baby's education?Best time to start education as a parent?
Education begins in the womb, but you do not need tons of special materials to teach your child. Don't run out to get flash cards, learning programs, or those worthless (and actually detrimental) ';educational'; baby DVDs. A rule of thumb: if it requires electricity or batteries, your baby doesn't need it to learn. Instead, keep the TV off as much as possible. Read to your child often. My husband and I started reading to our son well before he was born. Talk to your child throughout the day, making eye contact and allowing time for your baby to respond (even if it's just through cooing). Skip the baby talk; no ba - ba or num - nums. Interact with your child as often as possible and give him plenty of encouragement. Really, that's all he will need to learn. Good luck.Best time to start education as a parent?

What Do You Think About All the People That Blame All Their Problems on Their Parents?
As adults, is this just a cop out? Can't they get over it and be adults and choose how they want to live their lives? What Do You Think About All the People That Blame All Their Problems on Their Parents?
i think people that blame all their problems on their parents are stupid immature brats. they do grow up and be an adult about what they did to screw up their lifeWhat Do You Think About All the People That Blame All Their Problems on Their Parents?
as a child growing up..yes it kinda shapes the way that you will view life a an adult but when you become an adult then, if you have a problem from your childhood, then it is up to that adult to seek help and treatment...

What books would you recommend for a parent?
I want to read the books that will likely be assigned to my kids as they go through school so that I can be familiar with them. So far I have The Great Gatsby, The Lord of the Flies. What else?What books would you recommend for a parent?
Why not ask your child's teacher for the list of reading? If you want to get ahead of the game, teachers would probably jump for joy at the thought of a parent wanting to read ahead and read along. I am sure you could ask the Principal for the list of required reading in different classes.
Now, in a lot of schools, the kids at elementary level get to hand pick so much of their reading at the library based on their reading level, so working on it too far in advance might be tough.
But I say go for the classics.....the ones recommended were great.
I just re-read The Island of the Blue Dolphins with my daughter....fantastic.....
Good luck to you!What books would you recommend for a parent?
I recommend Number the Stars by Lois Lowry, and Island of the Blue Dolphins, as well as Where the Red Fern Grows. They get assigned frequently in elementary school as well as middle school.
The Giver by Lois Lowry is a great book to have your children read as well, though many schools do not cover it.
To Kill a Mockingbird
The Taming of the Shrew
The Pigman
1984
Jane Eyre
The Scarlet Letter
The Crucible
Those are just some I read in school.

Is there a way to stop nosey parents from doing backgrounds checks on their daughter and husband?
My Mom %26amp; Dad do not approve of my husband. I am over 30 years old, once divorced from the man I was with for 10 years. I have remarried and man I have had feelings for forever and do not feel it is any of my parents business what is happening in my life. Is there a way to stop parents like this from overstepping the line?Is there a way to stop nosey parents from doing backgrounds checks on their daughter and husband?
Essentially, no. They will not be able to find out any more than basic, publicly available information, unless they choose, for example, to hire a private detective and pay for more in-depth checks.
I do wonder what he (or you) has to hide though!Is there a way to stop nosey parents from doing backgrounds checks on their daughter and husband?
Only through a restraining order. Even then they can still look into your private information they are just in contempt of court if caught doing it. Try looking for yourself what exactly is available on-line about your family. Then if it's something from a private source you don't want posted you can request the info be removed. Most organizations that post memberships will remove names when requested. Keep your myspace and other personal sites on private and don't add people unless you know its not them under a new name.
i cant remember what its called but isnt there a website that alerts you and the authorities that your social security number was used? maybe that would help you as far as the background checks. maybe you should just sit your parents down with you and your husband and explain to them that you appreciate their caring about you and your family, but would appreciate for them to trust your judgement and to respect your decisions. just telling them to butt out would just ignite the fire even more. explain that you need to have your privacy. if all else fails start invading theirs.
well i would love to say that you can tell them you will cut them off if they dont accept your husband, however they may have a gut feeling about something. take into concideration if they have or have not done this type of thing in the past. if not they maay have an instinct that often love blinds us to. if they do the background check and find nothing then you can tell them thank you now you need to back off and accept my husband, then if they can not respect your relationship i would distance myself from them. not completely but enough. there are alot of things i have seen on tv about people not being who they seem to be and bad things happening, so without knowing why your parents feel this way, that is the only advise i can give to you.
Honestly there's no way of stopping them from spying on you. You just have ignore whatever they are saying because I'm pretty sure that they are saying bad things about him. If you can't ignore try your best to organize a family event where they can come and try to get to know him.It's not easy to have parents who are not accepting of their kids choices. Just hang in there because I know something like this can create problems and fights between you and your husband.
i know im young and all, but parents just dont understand. they think they know evrything but they really dont!! They're just probably doing this bcuz they care for you. And dont get the wrong idea but im like never on their side, but when it omes to this they want you to be happy,carefree with who you with and all so they wont have ot worry about you later on in life...
choice one: just tell them if they don't approve that you will not trust their judgments since they don't trust yours.
choice two: sit down and talk. say you appreciate the concern but your thirty, you can take care of yourself finely. assure them that if any thing is wrong you will tell them.
tell the truth don't hide anything it always piles up.
Just stop talking to them. They do not respect you and if you cut them off, they'll have to reflect on their behaviuor. You don't need them anymore, so let them be.
There is absolute no way to prevent of your background being checked. Simply don't do anything stupid in your life.
Yes you walk away from them, and never look back.revlon cosmetics

How do I tell my boyfriend's parents that their son is depressed and possibly suicidal?
I want it to write an anonymous letter.How do I tell my boyfriend's parents that their son is depressed and possibly suicidal?
and in a language they understand... why would you want it to be anonymous if he's your bf ?How do I tell my boyfriend's parents that their son is depressed and possibly suicidal?
write a letter
no have him write one
I did my folks cried
tension
but it will pass
and be better
WHY would you want to write them an anonymous letter of that is what you think is going on with him? You just might save his life if you talk to them in person.
with a deeep breath, and the thought that u r doing every1 a favore
If they have met you and know you well, I think you shouldn't tell them anything but ask if they notice something different about their son. Leave it up to them to figure out what you are telling them by suggestions that lead them in the right direction. Make sure they understand what the concern is but to talk to them in an accusing way toward your boyfriend could cause him to retaliate against you. Be genuine and be honest. Hint around and let them handle it. You could visit with him about it, too. It's good to know people care!! You're a fine gal!!
Telling them in person is best, of course. You'll be taken the most seriously that way. But there are definitely situations where that would be very difficult, and if you think he really needs help, you should do whatever it takes to help him. If you don't know his parents that well, or you're too shy to talk to them in person, of you're just afraid your boyfriend will find out who told them and feel betrayed... well, those are all fair reasons to write an anonymous letter instead. Your intentions are clearly good, so just do what you have to. However you go about it, you obviously care alot about him and you're doing the right thing. If you write a letter, use a real letter left in their mailbox, not e-mail, and write it by hand rather than typing it. That way it's more personal, and they'll probably take it more seriously.
Incidentally, one of my little sister's friends did this. They talked to our mom in person about how they thought she was depressed. Our mom never told my sister or anyone who it was, and even though my sister was angry at first, when she thought about it more she was really touched that her friends cared about her so much...
DONT WRITE AN ANONYMOUS LETTER.
just take them in private, preferably somewhere
away from your boyfriend and tell them the honest truth.
convince them that it is true and crucial for them to be understanding.
good luck
If you are truly sure than yes you need to tell them. It's very easy to send an anonymous email, much easier than a letter.
Would you want to get an anonymous letter like that if you had a son? It would either worry them crazy or they would dismiss it as a joke. Have enough guts to aproach them in person if it is that serious. Call them up and ask to speak to the dad. Tell him that you like the boy very much as a friend and you are concerned about him. Ask him if he would like to discuss it . If he says yes then tell him that you would like to do it face to face and not over the phone, especially if the boy is at home. Arrange to meet somewhre like a resturant, one or both of them. If they are defensive and have deaf ears, you are waisting your time . Don't push it.
If it is too hard to tell them in person, write them a letter. But, make sure they get it and read it.
An anonymous letter may be misperceived and ill-intentioned. You will score major points with the family if you are honest. If what you are worrying about is him finding out, try to make contact when he is not home and the parents are and have them meet you somewhere. Depression with suicidal ideation is a big deal and might be better received from someone close, like you, instead of a letter. Worse, the parents may know and be in denial and need face to face input from someone like you with a vested interest in their son. I do not envy you in your dilemma, Good Luck
Sit down with his parents and simply tell them you have noticed a dramtic change in his mood and behavior.and that they need to what was going on Then be able to answer any questions they may have
Be honest and factual. They have a right to know so they can intervene if necessary. You have the responsibility to tell them becuase you are aware of the problem. You do not want to live with this on your shoulders. Help him out. Tell his parents.
If I were you, I would go for the idea of writhing the letter.
Do not write an anonymous letter. Tell them face to face.. Tell them all of your concerns before it is to late.. Hold nothing back they need to hear it all even if they don't want to hear it make them.. If you love him you need to find a way to get him help.. Would you rather him be mad at you than you to say IF ONLY I HAD DONE THIS...
nice and quick!
No I think if you care about him, you would be honest with them and tell them straight out even though it may be hard, you need to do it so if he did anything stupid you could forgive yourself.
Well, if you're younger and go to high school, I would start by telling your counselor at school and they will tell his parents, and your name will never be mentioned.

My brother and sisters are always running around being trouble makers when the parents leave i need help?How can i deal with siblings when parents are out?
Be firm and let them know you are the one in charge, hopefully your parents will support that and if they misbehave then tell them and they will punish them. Put your foot downHow can i deal with siblings when parents are out?
go buy a piece of cardboard and right a location on it and then cut it up and hide something in the location on the box, then tell your little siblings that there is a surprise somewhere in the house but in order to find it they have to complete the puzzle...
lock them in the bathroom lol

How can i hide drinking alcohol from parents or from cops? Any good Suggestions?
I'm tired of my parents hounding me about my drinking. I'm 25 but they are against it. Any Suggestions?How can i hide drinking alcohol from parents or from cops? Any good Suggestions?
Why would you hide it from the police? You are 25 and as long as you aren't driving a car or being a complete *** in public then they aren't going to care.
If you don't live at home then you can hide it by not doing it around them. But as an adult you should let them know that you are an adult and capable of making decisions about what you put in you body.How can i hide drinking alcohol from parents or from cops? Any good Suggestions?
Here's a few good suggestions...
1) Listen to your parents instead of being defensive. Maybe you have a problem and just don't want to admit.
2) You're 25 and you're hiding your drinking? Go to AA.
3) Move into your own place... You're 25. You should be finishing college or working in a career.
4) Grow up.
In summary, go to AA and work on a career.
Parents: Move out of their house, support your self, in your own home, so you can come home to your own place after drinking.
Cops: Don't drink and drive. As long as you don't do that, they don't care what you drink.
Eat resses peanut butter cups, they hide the smell of alcohol. And don't drink when you drive and don't drink when you have something important to do.
Punch/make a bottle sized hole in your wall
Then put a poster over it
Make it so that yhu can lift up poster but is not very simple
There yhu go
You're an adult and more than capable of putting a roof over your own head. It's their house, it's their rules. Sorry, but you should either respect them enough to abide by them or move out.
id say u should just ignore them... but don't ignore the cops. you are old enough to do what u want. tell ur parants that ur not a kid and u can make ur own decisions
parents at 25 cops dont care, if you live with your parents move out, otherwise its none of their business.
BY stop drinking!
While you live under their house you are under their rules....don't like it move out or don't complain.
Pour it down the drain, they will never find it
screw them
move out
and y do the cops have a prob w/ it?
move
get an apartment and do wtf you want
Why would you hide it from the police? You are 25 and as long as you aren't driving a car or being a complete *** in public then they aren't going to care.
If you don't live at home then you can hide it by not doing it around them. But as an adult you should let them know that you are an adult and capable of making decisions about what you put in you body.How can i hide drinking alcohol from parents or from cops? Any good Suggestions?
Here's a few good suggestions...
1) Listen to your parents instead of being defensive. Maybe you have a problem and just don't want to admit.
2) You're 25 and you're hiding your drinking? Go to AA.
3) Move into your own place... You're 25. You should be finishing college or working in a career.
4) Grow up.
In summary, go to AA and work on a career.
Parents: Move out of their house, support your self, in your own home, so you can come home to your own place after drinking.
Cops: Don't drink and drive. As long as you don't do that, they don't care what you drink.
Eat resses peanut butter cups, they hide the smell of alcohol. And don't drink when you drive and don't drink when you have something important to do.
Punch/make a bottle sized hole in your wall
Then put a poster over it
Make it so that yhu can lift up poster but is not very simple
There yhu go
You're an adult and more than capable of putting a roof over your own head. It's their house, it's their rules. Sorry, but you should either respect them enough to abide by them or move out.
id say u should just ignore them... but don't ignore the cops. you are old enough to do what u want. tell ur parants that ur not a kid and u can make ur own decisions
parents at 25 cops dont care, if you live with your parents move out, otherwise its none of their business.

If I am tax exempt, will my parents be able to file for me on their tax return?
I'm 17 years old and want to be tax exempt but, my parents still want to be able to claim me as their dependent. Is that possible?If I am tax exempt, will my parents be able to file for me on their tax return?
You kind of have it backwards. There are rules that, if your parents meet them, then they can claim you. If you live with them for over half of the year, and do not provide more than half of your own support for the year, then they can claim you.
Now - for your income. If they meet the rules to claim you, whether they actually claim you of not, then you can't claim yourself and take an exemption for yourself on your own tax return. If you make less than $5350 for the year, though, you still won't owe any tax. And if you do not expect to have any tax liability for the year, and didn't have any last year, then and only then can you claim ';exempt';, which means that no income tax will be withheld from your paycheck. If you claim exempt on your W-4 when you aren't, then you'll have to pay taxes and possible penalties when you file a return at the end of the year, plus a possible $500 fine for claiming exempt when you aren't.
Whether or not you claim exempt does not have any effect on whether your parents can claim you.If I am tax exempt, will my parents be able to file for me on their tax return?
You can only tax exempt if you had no tax liability in the previous year and expext no tax liability this year.
Your parents will be able to claim you if you did not provid more than half your own support.

How can you move out from your parents home with out a partner?
i'm 22, don't have a boyfriend, but would really like to move out. house prices are way out of my league, and renting isn't a option. does anyone know of a way round this?How can you move out from your parents home with out a partner?
I've been wondering about that too, I'm 23, have no girlfriend and really need to find a place of my own, I am damned if I will rent and thus pay someone Else's mortgage. The only thing that I can think of is to buy a run down house and do it up while I live with my parents.
Good luck, sounds like we both need it!How can you move out from your parents home with out a partner?
Hey as long as you two are in the same boat why don't you chat, become friends and share expenses perhaps ypu live near each other...now that would be freaky
like everyone says a house or flat share will be your best option, but you will have to pay your fair share of ALL the bills.
so if you are earning, even at minimum wage you should be able to afford a one bed flat somewhere. you could always ask yoour parents or close friends for advice.
you can save money by moving to a cheaper area of the country, london and the southeast UK can break even the largest bank account. whereas here in the west country prices for renting are relatively cheap.
if you are on a low income in the uk you can get council tax and housing benefit which pays a substantial amount of your bills.
but the choice is the askers.

Okay...I have to ask - why isn't renting an option???? Can't you rent an apartment or a house with friends or something? do you have a job? I really don't see no other option for you unless you become live-in help for someone or perhaps an apartment complex manager or something. Or are you one of those people that seriously do expect everything handed to you?
If you can't buy or rent, look for a job that offers accommodation as part of the package. This often involves some period of training - nursing, military. My first job was at a daffodil farm in Hampshire (UK), I got free accommodation but had to pay for utilities. Now I'm an English Teacher in Poland, and guess what? I GET FREE ACCOMMODATION!! Good luck :)
find a job with accommodation, some youngsters in my area share an accommodation paying towards all the bills, theres some care jobs around looking after a elderly person and living in, a small reward is often offered , and often hotel work offers a package,i wouldn't give up on my parents keep in touch they have given there best for you
If you have a close friend then buy the house with them as a shared mortgage make sure to draw up a contract first though. Or advertise there are lots of other people like you who want to buy and it does work out, just like flatmates but you own instead of renting.
lodging in a shared house,its the cheaper option i think.
share with a friend or several friends, but the grass is not always greener on the other side, beware!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Find a roommate.
I saw a TV show recently about how some wealthier singles (mostly men) will take on a roommate at lower or no rent if they are willing to keep house. The roommate has specific chores they are expected to complete, such as cleaning the house/apartment a couple times a week or cooking a certain number of meals. If you don't mind housework and/or can cook, it might be something to consider. One problem is that since you are younger you might be subject to unwanted 'attention' from the roommate or not like it if they have strict rules about who you can bring over. Make sure you have the agreement all worked out. (I wish I had more details to give you, try looking for a roommate service, perhaps they have more information).
Same is true for regular roommates, make sure everyone knows what is expected of them.
Find an occupation that provides rooms etc. The armed forces, nursing, become a nun, or if you are tasty move in with me
College or military. Sorry.
Im in the same situation. If I find out I will let u know. U in L.A?
pregnant %26gt;council?
actually this option was abused
why is renting /
sharing not an option%26gt; get to meet people.....
most do
50% shared ownership properties - they give first time buyers the chance to get on the market.
Register with local shared ownership housing associations such as touchstone etc and keep on their mailing list.
You can also register at rightmove.co.uk and only put in houses within your earning bracket and every time a new one comes on you will be notified.
Good luck x x x
You could accept a position as a part-time live in nanny or housekeeper. This way, you'd have a place to live, a job and can still attend college if you want to. (You can such jobs on www.craigslist.com)
You don't have a good option other than a job with accommodation. Stay where u are and save a deposit for a house. You should have been doing this already...Why do you really want to move out and live on your own. Been there...done that...its very expensive and very boring!
You could share a house - lots of working people are doing this now. Alternatively look for a bedsit or small flat.
