they cant to be honest i have four kids and show no favoritism at all. I dont see how you can love one of you kids more than the other. two of my kids are step children and i love them the same as if they came from me. kids are the greatest joy in life maybe they should think about that and how they are sucking the other kids joy from them. This is so awful. i wish i could take that kid myself they dont deserve the child. they are bad parents!!!!How can a parent who shows favoritism toward one child scold the other for jealousy or resentment ?
In theory, they shouldn't be able to. Parental favoritism is a terrible thing. It causes nothing but grief for everyone in the family. But, in reality, if a parent does have a favorite, they are likely to resent any evidence of its negative results. When they scold the other child, it's the guilt speaking.How can a parent who shows favoritism toward one child scold the other for jealousy or resentment ?
no thats just mean. the parents already beign horrible in the first place so to tell the child who is being neglected and treat unfairley off will just be pure evil.
just thinking about the poor child who is jelous and resentful is making me feel sick/upset/wantin to cry for that child :(
Its hard to give all your children equal amounts of attention at times and yes its a form of favortisim. Do we mean it to happen god no. We do our best to include all kids on what ever we are doing no matter what we are doing. Some things the older kids can do, and somethings its gotta be the youngest kids turns. For those that claime they dont show favortisim.......... really look at your daily life at home with the kids and then answer this question. Im sure you will realize you do slip and show favortisim.
They have no right to, because they provoked the other child to jealousy and resentment.

If a radioactive element has a half-life of 16 million years, what fraction of the original amount of parent?
material will remain after 96 million years? What percentage would that be?If a radioactive element has a half-life of 16 million years, what fraction of the original amount of parent?
You start with 96 million years and that means for a half life of 16 million years there are 6 half-life cycles ( 98 / 16 = 6 )
Then 100% halved 6 times leaves 1.56 %
That is
100%
50
25
12.5
6.25
3.125
1.56%If a radioactive element has a half-life of 16 million years, what fraction of the original amount of parent?
1.5 percent will remain.
That means 3/32 of the material will be from the parent.
Hope I helped. :)

How does your parent become your agent?
I am 14, and I think I have had enough experience to become a good screen actress, and agents have told me that. But they will not book me because of my age,so how does your parent become your agent. Like, how do they get the lists of auditions and stuff. This is the real deal now so please give me all the advice you can.
Many Thanks,
Kandyfloss
xxxxHow does your parent become your agent?
It depends where you live and if your state requires talent agents to be licensed. I don't know any parents who act as their child's agent - they usually act as manager, which is different. For example, Jessica Simpson's dad and Lindsay Lohan's mom are not their agents, they are their managersHow does your parent become your agent?
It is not advisable to have a parent for an agent. Most casting directors and agencies really don't want to deal with stage mothers or fathers. It is common for parents to act as managers because parental consent is traditionally required for minors to enter into any type of contract. But an agent is responsible for getting you that work. They have contacts. They have a repoire with casting directors who trust them to send the right type of actors they need for each call. An agent represents you because they believe you are marketable - they trust your talent - they think you have what it takes to make it, because their interest is financial in basis.
Your mom thinks you have talent - well, because she's your mom. That doesn't really count. And she has no contacts, no network, doesn't know the business, etc.
Best off to keep sending your picture and resume to agencies. Go to open calls. Build your resume by auditioning and performing in as many shows as you can. Show range by playing in different types of theater - from musical comedy to drama (if you can find it) to Shakespeare.
Break a Leg!
they would have to get the names of casting directors and contact them and say they represent you and is there anything for your type in what they are currently working on. If your parent really wants you to become a teen actor,then they have to devote their full working days on it.hand soap

What makes a parent overprotect their child?
Seriously has the world gotten that bad that people cant leave their kids in the backyard for 5 minutes.
SHould over protective parents be made to be re-educated in their obcession or given meds ?
im just curious to your opinionsWhat makes a parent overprotect their child?
My Mom ended up somewhat over protective bc she lost a daughter. She let her go for a car ride and there was accident. A completely avoidable accident. Now it wasn't her fault at all. But trauma can make a parent overprotective. There are also the parents that let their kids run wild wherever and then cry when something happens. IMO there is nothing wrong with boundaries. If I over protect my kids at least it shows I have a interest in them.What makes a parent overprotect their child?
wow...
tell madeline mccanns parents that. they were a short distance away and there kids were sleeping - what could possibly have went wrong....
i hope your kids never get abducted when you leave them for 5mins, that would be an awful way for you to be 're-educated'
leaving a child unsupervised is wrong. no explanation. its wrong. if you cant care for the kids all the time or arrange supervision, you shouldnt have kids.

well some parents have lost children and when they have one that lives they become over protective. i don't think it's all that bad. i would rather a parent be over protective than not protective at all. it is the world and a combination of the past or past events that make parents that haven't lost a child the way they are. it takes less than 5 minutes for a person to kidnap a child and by the time you see the car it's too late.
Parents worry constantly that something may happen to their child It can be from a past experience (they may have lost a child) or it could be that papers/area they live in will influence where they will allow the child to go. There are so many horror stories out there of abductions/stabbings/rape/kidnappings etc - why would you allow your child out alone? My daughter is only 3 so she isnt out yet but when the time comes, I will allow her to go out but not too far and her friends wil be welcome here always. I would rather have my child safe then out where you have no idea.
One word; FEAR! That is why they do it. They are afraid something might happen, the child molester will get your kid, the neighbor will do something to the child, the child will fall and hurt themselves. Its just fear and most of us get over it - but some dont.
for those who mention Madalyn: her parents were not careful enough!! they left three kids out of sight and probably out of mind while they went out to eat. Why didnt they order in - like the rest of us would have done?
Sophies Mom: I leave our kids in our yard (fenced) all the time but not in some hotel room thousands of miles from home!
Your child is far more likely to die in a car accident that from being murdered by a stranger.
That doesn't stop people taking their children out in a car.
To be fair, most people worry about their child's safety and cases like Madeleine McCann pop up every few now and again. People don't take into account that around 6 children a year get abducted - that's six out of 6.6 million people.
But the consequences are so awful, and the media is so full of it, that it's hard to ignore.
I have heard before of children stolen from their beds, or from their bath. It's horrible. but rare, very rare.
Fear omg the fear when you are a parent! Nobody told me about it. I swear I was perfectly rational until I had a child. I add I still manage to act rationally but I could literally be paralyzed by the fear of something happening to her. You have to work SOOOOO hard at not becoming neurotic! You love them so much and the pain you would feel should something happen would be unbearable so you go to stupid lengths to avoid it.
its actually a biological instinct to be protective of our young, all creatures in nature, humans, wolves, horses, tigers, whales, etc are protective of their young. It is not something unique to humans, and not a result of the world. It's just instinct, pure instinct.
yes. the world has become a place where you have to be on guard ALL the time. there are so many freaks out there who are waiting for that moment when your guard is down.
i am very protective of my kids because i was abused for many years by people who were trusted. so...i am very much, even overly protective. my kids are worth it!
well it depends on the situation for instance my children are allowed playing outside without me hawking, we live in a rural area however there are several homes with children and they all play together. However I would not let my children play outside in say for instance Buffalo or Dallas, it is just a common sense judgment.
Well - have the adults in this world that have turned out to be utter disappointments and a drain on our system a product of over-protective or under-protective parents?
This is a rant and I don't really see a question here.
have a child and then you will understand.
no meds or education will stop a parent being protective. are you protective of the things you love?
They dont want them to get hurt

You can use a debit card if you have a checking account.
Failing that, you can get a prepaid Visa/MasterCard by paying cash ... there will be a small fee, and they come in set denominations [$25 increments, mostly] so you then have leftover money on the card.
Basically, you can do it, but it may cost you extra.
You can buy a Mastercard Gift Card without your parents. It's like a gift card (available in $25, $50, $100 versions) that can then be used online like a credit card. I know in Canada they can be bought at drug and souvenir stores, I don't know about in the States.
Get a debit card, that's what I use. You don't need a parent for one. You just put the cash in the bank and use the card online.
you can get a ';canvas card';

Does a parent still owe child support if no order is made?
I know a girl who is in college. Her father deserted her and her 2 brothers when they were very young. Her mom was from another country and afraid he would take them away and never filed for child support. Can this girl and her brothers collect anything for all the years they did without? They can still use the money to get through college and their father just got a big inheritence.Does a parent still owe child support if no order is made?
how will they collect? will they approach him? they would have to petition the courts...or retain a lawyer to take care of legal papers, and Im not sure if they can afford it.
I have heard of retroactive child support, it will depend on how the siblings approach this situation. If he has money now, who says he will pay it to them?
If he didnt do it all those years, why would they assume that he would do it now?
If the mother feared him, I would think he is a real nasty guy.

Can a parent's debt be transferred to a child?
I recently discovered that my parents are in debt with the IRS, something about back taxes. If something should happen, or even if not, am I liable in any way for their debt? Can tax debt be transferred onto the next of kin?
I'm looking at the state of PA, if that makes a difference at all.Can a parent's debt be transferred to a child?
Their debt cannot be transferred to you. Should they die, their estate would be responsible for their debt. If their estate does not cover their debt, that debt will die with them. But you also would get no inheritance.Can a parent's debt be transferred to a child?
NO you are not liable but your parents could use a little help. Tell them to visit www.debt-meltdown.com for more information on what they can do so their debt is minimized and they can be comfortable in retirement. You should not worry though about their debt passing on to you but I would help them nonetheless.
NO, it cannot be transferred. The ONLY exception is if your name is on the debt to begin with......like you have a family business that you and your mother had that THAT is what the IRS is going after. Your parents tax bill is THEIR tax bill....PERIOD

Is it possible for a under 18 year old to get a bad credit report because of a parent going bankrupt?
If a parent goes bankrupt when there is an under 18 year old in the house, when the child becomes of age to start borrowing will they automatically have a bad credit record, due to the parents bankruptcy?Is it possible for a under 18 year old to get a bad credit report because of a parent going bankrupt?
No. Your parent's credit will not affect yours at all.Is it possible for a under 18 year old to get a bad credit report because of a parent going bankrupt?
The child will not get a bad credit rating its the address you live at that will be registered at the partents home address and that might take a bad sight on the child applying for credit.
People call it BlackListed but there is no such thing according to 'Experian' the credit report comany its just everything you do using credit is stored on your file.
No. Credit reports are based on the individual (you) and no one else. Anyone checking your credit file will have no idea about your parents bankruptcy.
The best way to build up a good credit report is when your 18, make sure you change your bank card to a card that has an overdraft facility and also get a credit card and use it for a small purchase and pay it off every month.
not really. it depends on how the child thinking. if the child gets to be always negative thinking, maybe it will give him/ her a bad credit record. Thats why you need to be always positive in thinking, so that you wont think of any bad credit record happend.
No it doesn't affect you at all unless they used your social security number for something then it would.
No that has nothing to do with you as long as they never opened accounts in your name when you were a child.
NO WAY. dont worry.

Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?
I'm 18 and live in California. the other day I stepped out for a few hours, and when I got home I found out that my mom threw away/destroyed the appartment application for my move out. Is it legal for her to go to such an extreme as to try and prevent my move out?Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?
What is the damage?. Just fill out a new application.
Problem solved.Is it legal for a parent to throw out appartment application?
There is nothing illegal with what your mother did.
Having learnt (if you did not already know) that your mum does not want you to move out you need to be somewhat more circumspect about things like apartment applications etc.
You also need to talk to your mum about you moving out - do not accuse her of anything, don't get angry and make your you listen to her and take in what she is saying.
Talk to her about why you want to / need to move out (make sure it is about you and not her). Ask her how she feels about you moving out and what concerns her. It may be that she just needs reassurance. If you really want / need this, then don't back done but be aware of her needs and fears and try and alleviate them.
PS without knowing your reasons - be aware there are great advantages of living at home; cheaper, meals cooked for you, washing done .....
Maybe if she not giving you enough freedom or constraining you, you could compromise for now and see if she will give you more space and freedom and you don't move out. Just an idea.
Remember in talking it is important to talk about how you feel, don't attack the other person, give them room to move and try and find a win/win scenario. (I do acknowledge that sometimes a win/win is not possible but don't burn any bridges).
It's legal, but just go and get a new one.
She can't stop you from moving out.
I think you need to have a talk with your mom about you moving out it is clear she has some issues with you moving out. She is your mom be nice.
I don't think it's necessarily illegal, but chances are, you need to secure your stuff better.
Keep it at a friend's house if she's that scared of you moving out.

Would like to hear from parent that have had babies with Asthma?
I have a almost 3 month old baby. He had RSV, and they said he may have asthma too. I would like to hear from parents that have dealt with asthma this young in an infant. How do you know there having an attack? He is not completely cleared of the RSV either. Thanks for any help you give me..Would like to hear from parent that have had babies with Asthma?
My daughter was born early,with pneumonia. She was in the NICU for 2 and 1/2 long weeks.Although she, thank God never got RSV, she had her first asthma attack at 4 months old. It was very scary but I learned how to use a neubulizer and it has been fine. Now she is two. I only usually have problems when she gets a cold,her chest sounds wheezy (like crackly) and if it is really bad her nail beds and face turn white and sometimes bluish. It can be managed fairly easily as long as you are aware of what to look for. Coughing in the middle of the night, with or without a cold, is a sign that the baby migt have an attack, because of their sleeping position. Try to slightly incline your baby's bed just at the head. I know that it is overwhelming but your baby will be okay. It is tough, but you will be a great asthma Mommy like I think I have become!Would like to hear from parent that have had babies with Asthma?
Honestly I never knew they diagnosed babies with asthma that young. All 3 of my boys have it. My 2 oldest were diagnosed right after they turned 1. My youngest who just turned 1 was diagnosed when he was 9 months. I have to give him breathing treatments twice a day right along with his older brothers.It'[s hard having little ones with asthma. Especially here in texas cause the weather constantly changes one day it's 85 the nesxt day its 50 and windy. That causes asthma to act up alot. For my 3 yr old it's weird because he loves to play in water. That makes his asthma act up. Not really sure why but it does.

How old do you have to be to get your tongue Pierced with parent consent?
i live in madison wi. an i need to know the age for piercing your tongue with a parent okay with it. i just want a answer for that i don't want the risks an stuff like that.How old do you have to be to get your tongue Pierced with parent consent?
13How old do you have to be to get your tongue Pierced with parent consent?
if a parent gives you consent i don't think they are going to stop you. My friend got her lip done when she was 12. As long as your parent is there and that they can prove they are your parent ( i think you have to bring ID) i don't think it matters
Usually around sixteen. Also, the piercer needsverification proving your age and that your parent is really related to you.
my bad i didnt mean 18, i thought it said without parental consent. in that case, i dont think there really is an age minimum
u can be any age 11 and up but u need proof and everything and its exspencive

Why does one student's parent only come to observe me during Math?
I am a first year second grade teacher. The father of one of my TAG students pops in randomly during the year to observe. At the beginning of the year he told me he runs his own business, so I assume he's got a pretty open schedule.
Anyway, he only comes to observe me when I am teaching math toward the end of the day. Why is this? Is he concerned that his child is not getting adequate math instruction? I don't know how to ask without sounding rude.Why does one student's parent only come to observe me during Math?
Why on earth is this guy allowed to come and ';observe'; you. Do you go down to where he works and slap the corndog out of his hand. I'd talk to my supervisor about that. If they do not see anything wrong with parents coming to observe how the classroom operates, I'd move schools. Its not a parent's place to observe what type of job the teacher is doing. This is why you have supervisors. If he has a problem with the way you teach, he should take it up with your employer, not sit down in your class and become a disruption for all the students. I'd get him out, he has no place there.Why does one student's parent only come to observe me during Math?
either he is interested in the math being taught, or this is the best time for him to attend.. while chatting with him, ask him if math is his favorite subject...
Just ask him straightforward.
If he is a business person he will probably appreciate the directness.
I bet the explanation is something ';innocent'; rather than concern about your math teaching.
If your school system allows it, ask him if he would be willing to talk about how math is used in business - you may have to help him prepare the lesson to ensure it is age appropriate.
There could be a number of reasons:
Just because he owns his own business doesn't mean his schedule is his to choose. He may have meeting earlier in the day.
Maybe he's there then since he also has to pick up the child and its more convenient to be there then (you would probably know the answer to that since you would see if he does).
Maybe he is more concerned about the child's math skills than any other area of study (that was my big weakness throughout my schooling).
As far as asking goes, don't hit it directly. Go about it from the side. Ask what he thinks of what he sees. Since he only really sees the math, he will have to give you an opinion on that (unless he's going to lie to you).
It's hard being a new anything! I have found that usually it is easier to ask a pleasant question than to continue to feel ';yucky';. Let's face it - most folks are all about themselves, and the true answers often have less to do with us than we like to admit. How about finding an opportunity to say to him nicely, ';I notice that you are usually here during math. Are you happy with how your child is being taught, or do you have some suggestion as to how I could do better?'; You may find that the reason he is there during math is simple - scheduling or coincidence. If not, you have given him the courtesy of an opening to being involved in his child's life! As a teacher - you know that an involved parent is a good thing! Even if he has a suggestion, and you don't like it - you can thank him for giving it, and say that you will think about what he has said, and leave the door open for future communication. Good luck!
Has he told you WHY he is doing this? Have you asked him?
Did he ask ahead of time for permission to do this, or did he just show up?
You could ask other teachers how they would handle this.
If he has a problem and this is why he's observing, he should be telling you about this and try to solve the problem with you instead of spying.
What are the written school policies about parent observations? Does it state they can come in for no reason, anytime they want? Find out what the policy is and follow it.
If the parent has a problem with that, tell him to take it up with the principal because you are just following the school policy.
OH, and show him the policy in writing.

Can a parent just take children away from other parent?
My daughter has left her partner through domestic violence, both physical and emotional, and has taken her two young children with her... He is now threatening her that if she doesn't take the children to see him, whenever he wants, he will come and physically take the children off her... can he do this?Can a parent just take children away from other parent?
She has to petition the court for custody. Unfortunately, it can be expensive to file the petition but if she has a financial hardship she may be able to get the fees waved. The sooner the better because until then he has equal rights to the children. If he comes to take them call the police and let them know that he has a history of abuse and that she is afraid he will take them and run. They tend to side with the mother (police and courts) so she should have some luck. To keep them safe for the meantime she should also file for a restraining order on him against her and the kids (so there's documentation for the custody hearing). Any legal establishment will say that if it's not in writing, it didn't happen so be sure to call and file a report with the police EVERY TIME there's an incident, no matter how small for documentation purposes. Bottom line, though, is: try to keep her out of any situation where she is alone with him for a prolonged period of time because an abuser will look at the current situation as ';loosing control'; and he may do something drastic in order to ';regain'; that control. That could include ';if I can't have you, no one can'; and that never ends well.
Best of luck to you, your daughter and your grandchildren. It's an ugly situation that all too many women get in these days. I hope it all works out for your family.Can a parent just take children away from other parent?
a restraining order needs to be done .if you want to you can tell him he cant come in your yard.if she lets him then you cant do a thang.but thats what i do,restraining order.til it goes to court.now once court settles he may get the kids only on his days the court allows him to have and she's got to obey the order unless he abuses the kids too.if hes abuseing the kids then i get something done to where he has to get supervised rights and also he has to go to those classes,anger management and parenting class.she can request anything in court and get alot of help she just got to be the one to go forward and not be afraid.if she drops the charges then its on her.but you are allowed so many drop charges and then you're unable to go again for some years.she can get the restraining order done yearly if she wants to.its on her to make the right decision.let her make that choice.dont step in and try and do it for her or talk her into doing it.but its her only thing to do.
Oh he has legal rights to his children but in this situation I would say he is still being abusive and trying to control her through intimidation and using the children as pawns. I would immediately seek legal advice of a lawyer and call the police.

Christians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
What are some of the essential steps to introducing the message of ';faith and salvation'; to children and teenagers?
What are steps to avoid?
Honest thought out answers welcome on these questions on presenting faith..Christians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
Any kind of appreciation of the Lord by our kids and any kind of love that they develop for Him will come directly from how we love and appreciate the Lord in our living before our children's eyes.
If our kids see us reading the word and praying and learning how to turn to the Lord in all kinds of situation.. In the simple things like when someone calls at the house and you tell your child to say that you are not there or when you are teaches them dishonesty. May the Lord have mercy on us.
I have found that over the years its really crucial to help to shape our kids into vessels that would one day contain the Lord as this priceless treasure. This comes by taking care of thier humanity. Teaching and modeling as a pattern the valued characteristics of Honesty, Hard word, Forgiveness, Patience, Gentleness, all the rich virtues of the HOly Spirit. Teaching them respect for authority and to be a diligent student at school. Keep a clean room and helping around the home. Being thankful and appreciative of what you have. Learning how to give to others and reach out to others in need. Being sensitive to the strengths and weaknesses of others. All these work together to shape our kids into an earthen vessel that, when they each receive the Lord as their savior and Lord He will be contained in an abiding way in them. There is a difference between a plate and a deep jug. Both are vessels.. but one has been shaped with a certain capacity to hold a substance more than another.
If we are careful and prayerful before the Lord to care for our kids in this way.. the Lord will not easily be given up by these ones. All His Divine attributes will expressed through well cultivated and well shaped human virtues.
We cannot think that we can be slopply in raising our kids. The idea of '; don't say as i do but do as i say'; .. or'; don't do what i do.. do as i say'; does not work.
May our God be the Eternal Father to us.. teaching us day by day how to wait before Him regarding these children who are His Heritage. They are all lent to us by the Lord to be offered and given back to Him for His glory.
Learning also how to step back before reacting with these ones who we are so used to. Its important to see that our children are treasured by the Lord and as such we need both hands.. One to love and one to discipline in order for them to grow up to be fine human beings and deep abiding vessels for God to dwell in one day.
May the Lord grant us much mercy in this way. May we look to Him daily to carry out this divine Stewarship of Parenthood before His face and by His strenght wisdom and grace.

sandyChristians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
I think the most important thing to remember is like James wrote to be doers of the Bible and not hearers only. If you claim to be a Christian...be a Christian. Let your children see a Godly example. Start teaching them the ways of the LORD and Jesus Christ early in their life and continue on until they are married and left home. Have daily prayer and Bible study at home. Enforce Christian vaules in the family. Do not conform or compromise with the world. Don't give in to kids temper tantrums and whinning when they don't get their way. The #1 myth in raising a teenager is that you can't keep them from getting involved in the bad things out there. Don't adopt the attitude that ';kids will make their own mistakes';.
Show the way by example. Preach and yell and you'll turn them away. Weak and ineffective and you'll be the object of ridicule. Being emotional and upset with difficulties will cast doubt on your faith. You need to show them that what's right in all situations is what is worth striving for, and all other things will fall into place. Use shortcomings to address the need for humility and strength that comes from something greater. Use good things and blessings to express gratitude for these gifts. Always be prepared to give up material gain for principle. Seek a personal stillness, peace and strength that radiates out into the home, and you will be spreading the Gospel. Be true to God and yourself above all things first.
Be the example!!!!
If you are the example and not the pusher, they will follow.
Jesus NEVER pushed, He lived the word and the truth, and they followed!
be the example
Don't push it on them. My dad does that and it just pushes my siblings and I away. We don't want to be around him anymore.
one key thing for teenagers: don't preach. if you do it will feel like you're shoving it down their throats and then they'll just turn away. trust me i am one.
The best example that a parent will set for their children will be found in the parents ';attitude'; towards every day life.To teach the child dedication and respect for God and man kind.This includes all areas both inside and outside of the Church.In my own words,the'; key';is to teach Discipline,humility, respect, faithfulness,and love,avoiding anything that would be displeasing to God.*God Bless*
I feel discriminated against... Since when are christians the only people who are good in this world?
If you force christianity down your teen's throat, they will most likely rebel...
I feel that Jesus deal with me always with Love.Even when I fail Him...he brings me to my knees with the words I love You...you are hurting me right now,but I'm still your Father and I love you.So I teach my kids that our home will always be filled with love and laughter.I treat them with the greatest respect and that causes them to do the same to me.I'm not scared to apologize to my children.All of these things makes them respect me and strive to be greater people.I try to set a good example,but also let them know I'm not perfect.We listen to christian music together(try some they can relate to and really get involved with it...Mercy Me is great...research...I could give a long list)but also let them have their own stuff...don't be too rigid...tell them you count on them to make the right decisions.Kids can surprise you.When you see them making good choices rewards them and and show them how proud you are! Pray with them at night and ask if they have anyone they need to pray for or what's on their mind.This has become a special time for my kids when I get to learn all about their day and everything in their life...then we pray.And remember teach them they can pray too...talk to Him anyway they want...He's their Father...and He truly understands...for you too...ask Him...He'll help and guide you! Good Luck...I'll pray for you!
Always be 'honest' before them,letting them see your struggles of faith as well as your 'God given victories. This will show them that it is all about a growing relationship with God through Jesus 'via' the Holy Spirit. As you share the examples of His Word from the old and new testaments about God's 'interaction' with His creation, you will build a foundation of truth within them. God's word does not return void.
Look for examples of God's beautiful creation to publicly acknowledge His goodness. Direct them to 'notice' for themselves the amazingness of His handiwork. As you establish a sense of 'awe' towards God in them at an early age, when their hearts are tender and open, they won't get caught up in the 'religious tornados'. later. Be sure to seek God's heart, face, and kingdom for yourself, the reality of your own revealed experiences with God will encourage and inspire them to believe in what they have witnessed in your life, which by the way, is an open book before them.
Trust God through the teenage years!!! And PRAY!, PRAY!, PRAY! Don't be discouraged, if they stray a bit! Especially, don't judge yourself for their choices during this season in their lives. Loving God is a choice. Try not to let the expectations of others or the fear of their judgements reguarding your 'parenting skills' get to you. They are not in your shoes. Remember, it was and always will be the grace and kindness of God that draws 'the lost' to repentance.
Faith is believing that God exists, (the real evidence of that, they will see, is His loving character abiding within you!) As you 'live in real relationship' with God before them, you won't have to 'preach' to them about it. I would most definately avoid serving them any form of 'religion'. It could stunt their growth of simple faith. A tip I might offer you, is to present them with other forms of indirect messages of God. Through the 'christian media', inspirational cartoons, movies, books, music, etc. This will help support your position of faith before them, by having a 'network' of other Godly influences, aside from just the Bible. One thing I have done throughout the lives of my children is to share true stories of God's 'miracles' with them, anytime I heard, or read of one, or experienced it for myself. This will stir up a hunger within them to know God that way for themselves. Most of all, enjoy them for the blessed Gifts of God that they are, every day, and every stage of their lives!
Walk the talk.
Don't give kids today the ';do as I say not as I do'; speech.
They are way too smart.
Put no conditions on the love you give them.
Above all be honest.
My mom was always honest with us kids, and today our respect for her is immense as is our love.
I have had to think about this a lot. Being a parent and only recently coming to Christ, I often wonder how I can give good Christian morals to my children. I think it is important to set aside at least one night a week to do some bible study, just reading one chapter together with your children and talking about it can be good.
Chrisitans only? What are you some Star Bellied Sneetch?
I believe that the number one elements are honesty and respect. Kids don't want to know what you think unless they know you are sincere and opened.
The most positive way that I have found to reach teens is to live your life before them in a way that is consistent and genuine.
Allow them to lead the conversation. If they are seeking, they will ask the right questions. If they are not seeking, your directions will fall on deaf ears.
ALSO....make sure they know you love them just the way they are. People should always know that regardless of their actions, they are still of value.
Teens are AWESOME. They just need someone to listen to them, and give them gentle direction.
I sent my son to a Christian pre-school. He is only five years old and he knows all about Mary (that is Jesus' mommy)
And God is Jesus' daddy. He knows about Noah's ark and the animals.
And the most important thing, he knows Jesus was a loving and caring man that helped others in their time of need.
don't preach to the kids. Tell them not to do drugs, let them explore, like you all did when they were babies. If they get hurt they will learn not to go back there again, for example if a baby falls off the crib, (parents don't lie, 96% of babies fall out of something like a crib before the age of 9 months. 98% tend to get into trouble and get themselves hurt.) If they get hurt, they know in order for that not to happen again, they dont come back to that same place.So if teen are in an area where other kids do drugs and kill people, and they happen to get shot, they will know if they dont wanna get shot again, they dont come back to that sanme area again.
get on their level. I'm 18 and my pastor is upbeat and makes jokes when he's preaching. we can also wear pant's to church. If a bunch of older people are pushing their older ways(not all are bad) then it's a big turn off. Small children love videos, projects, songs, skits, and they like it(as well as teens) when you can relate it to everyday life.
God in the OT liked blood offerings...he found them ';pleasing';...and in the NT he needed the blood of Christ to wash away sins.....maybe an old fashion family blood offering would be a great way to show the kids back to god!!
Make them hate you. Remember that if they go to Jesus and hate not their own mother and father, they can not be his disciple.
Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
I love it when I get thumbs-down from Christians for accurately quoting their own Bible.
Be like god. Create and provide, and punish those against him.
What are steps to avoid?
Honest thought out answers welcome on these questions on presenting faith..Christians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
Any kind of appreciation of the Lord by our kids and any kind of love that they develop for Him will come directly from how we love and appreciate the Lord in our living before our children's eyes.
If our kids see us reading the word and praying and learning how to turn to the Lord in all kinds of situation.. In the simple things like when someone calls at the house and you tell your child to say that you are not there or when you are teaches them dishonesty. May the Lord have mercy on us.
I have found that over the years its really crucial to help to shape our kids into vessels that would one day contain the Lord as this priceless treasure. This comes by taking care of thier humanity. Teaching and modeling as a pattern the valued characteristics of Honesty, Hard word, Forgiveness, Patience, Gentleness, all the rich virtues of the HOly Spirit. Teaching them respect for authority and to be a diligent student at school. Keep a clean room and helping around the home. Being thankful and appreciative of what you have. Learning how to give to others and reach out to others in need. Being sensitive to the strengths and weaknesses of others. All these work together to shape our kids into an earthen vessel that, when they each receive the Lord as their savior and Lord He will be contained in an abiding way in them. There is a difference between a plate and a deep jug. Both are vessels.. but one has been shaped with a certain capacity to hold a substance more than another.
If we are careful and prayerful before the Lord to care for our kids in this way.. the Lord will not easily be given up by these ones. All His Divine attributes will expressed through well cultivated and well shaped human virtues.
We cannot think that we can be slopply in raising our kids. The idea of '; don't say as i do but do as i say'; .. or'; don't do what i do.. do as i say'; does not work.
May our God be the Eternal Father to us.. teaching us day by day how to wait before Him regarding these children who are His Heritage. They are all lent to us by the Lord to be offered and given back to Him for His glory.
Learning also how to step back before reacting with these ones who we are so used to. Its important to see that our children are treasured by the Lord and as such we need both hands.. One to love and one to discipline in order for them to grow up to be fine human beings and deep abiding vessels for God to dwell in one day.
May the Lord grant us much mercy in this way. May we look to Him daily to carry out this divine Stewarship of Parenthood before His face and by His strenght wisdom and grace.

sandyChristians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
I think the most important thing to remember is like James wrote to be doers of the Bible and not hearers only. If you claim to be a Christian...be a Christian. Let your children see a Godly example. Start teaching them the ways of the LORD and Jesus Christ early in their life and continue on until they are married and left home. Have daily prayer and Bible study at home. Enforce Christian vaules in the family. Do not conform or compromise with the world. Don't give in to kids temper tantrums and whinning when they don't get their way. The #1 myth in raising a teenager is that you can't keep them from getting involved in the bad things out there. Don't adopt the attitude that ';kids will make their own mistakes';.
Show the way by example. Preach and yell and you'll turn them away. Weak and ineffective and you'll be the object of ridicule. Being emotional and upset with difficulties will cast doubt on your faith. You need to show them that what's right in all situations is what is worth striving for, and all other things will fall into place. Use shortcomings to address the need for humility and strength that comes from something greater. Use good things and blessings to express gratitude for these gifts. Always be prepared to give up material gain for principle. Seek a personal stillness, peace and strength that radiates out into the home, and you will be spreading the Gospel. Be true to God and yourself above all things first.
Be the example!!!!
If you are the example and not the pusher, they will follow.
Jesus NEVER pushed, He lived the word and the truth, and they followed!
be the example
Don't push it on them. My dad does that and it just pushes my siblings and I away. We don't want to be around him anymore.
one key thing for teenagers: don't preach. if you do it will feel like you're shoving it down their throats and then they'll just turn away. trust me i am one.
The best example that a parent will set for their children will be found in the parents ';attitude'; towards every day life.To teach the child dedication and respect for God and man kind.This includes all areas both inside and outside of the Church.In my own words,the'; key';is to teach Discipline,humility, respect, faithfulness,and love,avoiding anything that would be displeasing to God.*God Bless*
I feel discriminated against... Since when are christians the only people who are good in this world?
If you force christianity down your teen's throat, they will most likely rebel...
I feel that Jesus deal with me always with Love.Even when I fail Him...he brings me to my knees with the words I love You...you are hurting me right now,but I'm still your Father and I love you.So I teach my kids that our home will always be filled with love and laughter.I treat them with the greatest respect and that causes them to do the same to me.I'm not scared to apologize to my children.All of these things makes them respect me and strive to be greater people.I try to set a good example,but also let them know I'm not perfect.We listen to christian music together(try some they can relate to and really get involved with it...Mercy Me is great...research...I could give a long list)but also let them have their own stuff...don't be too rigid...tell them you count on them to make the right decisions.Kids can surprise you.When you see them making good choices rewards them and and show them how proud you are! Pray with them at night and ask if they have anyone they need to pray for or what's on their mind.This has become a special time for my kids when I get to learn all about their day and everything in their life...then we pray.And remember teach them they can pray too...talk to Him anyway they want...He's their Father...and He truly understands...for you too...ask Him...He'll help and guide you! Good Luck...I'll pray for you!
Always be 'honest' before them,letting them see your struggles of faith as well as your 'God given victories. This will show them that it is all about a growing relationship with God through Jesus 'via' the Holy Spirit. As you share the examples of His Word from the old and new testaments about God's 'interaction' with His creation, you will build a foundation of truth within them. God's word does not return void.
Look for examples of God's beautiful creation to publicly acknowledge His goodness. Direct them to 'notice' for themselves the amazingness of His handiwork. As you establish a sense of 'awe' towards God in them at an early age, when their hearts are tender and open, they won't get caught up in the 'religious tornados'. later. Be sure to seek God's heart, face, and kingdom for yourself, the reality of your own revealed experiences with God will encourage and inspire them to believe in what they have witnessed in your life, which by the way, is an open book before them.
Trust God through the teenage years!!! And PRAY!, PRAY!, PRAY! Don't be discouraged, if they stray a bit! Especially, don't judge yourself for their choices during this season in their lives. Loving God is a choice. Try not to let the expectations of others or the fear of their judgements reguarding your 'parenting skills' get to you. They are not in your shoes. Remember, it was and always will be the grace and kindness of God that draws 'the lost' to repentance.
Faith is believing that God exists, (the real evidence of that, they will see, is His loving character abiding within you!) As you 'live in real relationship' with God before them, you won't have to 'preach' to them about it. I would most definately avoid serving them any form of 'religion'. It could stunt their growth of simple faith. A tip I might offer you, is to present them with other forms of indirect messages of God. Through the 'christian media', inspirational cartoons, movies, books, music, etc. This will help support your position of faith before them, by having a 'network' of other Godly influences, aside from just the Bible. One thing I have done throughout the lives of my children is to share true stories of God's 'miracles' with them, anytime I heard, or read of one, or experienced it for myself. This will stir up a hunger within them to know God that way for themselves. Most of all, enjoy them for the blessed Gifts of God that they are, every day, and every stage of their lives!
Walk the talk.
Don't give kids today the ';do as I say not as I do'; speech.
They are way too smart.
Put no conditions on the love you give them.
Above all be honest.
My mom was always honest with us kids, and today our respect for her is immense as is our love.
I have had to think about this a lot. Being a parent and only recently coming to Christ, I often wonder how I can give good Christian morals to my children. I think it is important to set aside at least one night a week to do some bible study, just reading one chapter together with your children and talking about it can be good.
Chrisitans only? What are you some Star Bellied Sneetch?
I believe that the number one elements are honesty and respect. Kids don't want to know what you think unless they know you are sincere and opened.
The most positive way that I have found to reach teens is to live your life before them in a way that is consistent and genuine.
Allow them to lead the conversation. If they are seeking, they will ask the right questions. If they are not seeking, your directions will fall on deaf ears.
ALSO....make sure they know you love them just the way they are. People should always know that regardless of their actions, they are still of value.
Teens are AWESOME. They just need someone to listen to them, and give them gentle direction.
I sent my son to a Christian pre-school. He is only five years old and he knows all about Mary (that is Jesus' mommy)
And God is Jesus' daddy. He knows about Noah's ark and the animals.

Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
If your child was to have a one on one talk with God, do you think your child would tell God that you are one who do a lot of talking and not enough walking, or if you do a lot of talking and no walking?Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
Neither. I don't see why it has to be one or the other. The real world does not work in such absolutes.Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
My children see me as a compassionate and dedicated mother, and someone who works to make others happy. They see a mother who volunteers to teach art at schools where art was stripped from the curriculum because of budget cuts. They see a mother who makes food for the elderly neighbors so they can eat more than just microwave dinners. And they see that she can be a good and decent person without gods or religion.
My child would see me as a God fearing parent who is trying her best to be a good one in both words and deeds.Still he knows that I do commit sin and fall short of God's and my child's (11 years) expectations.
So if he were to talk to God, he would pray for God's continued blessings upon me and to change me accordingly to be a better parent.
I think I do more walking than talking. My son sees my moral lifestyle and how I acknowledge my mistakes and faults. However, he was really surprised one day to hear me talk about how much I love Jesus. He didn't realize I was religious! I guess my reasons for my way of living weren't apparent to him. Maybe that's because when he lived with my mother, she went way overboard with the religious thing and forced him to go to church and live as a Christian even though he wasn't one in his heart. I dunno.
My children see in me a Guru, a GOD loving one.
We always conduct Satsang and participate in it.
They have also believe in it and have formed their own view of GOD.
I think God is a made up symbol for people to worship when they don't have faith in themselves. However my daughter chooses to believe in him. We just agree to disagree. She doesn't ';pray'; for me, and I don't mock her beliefs.
God fearing ( reverence for ) Christian, servant who walk the walk with Jesus, and is filled with the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord !
Well If my child truly honored me, she/he would respect my judgment and actions and not take in upon themselves to undermine me. (unless they were an adult)
Fear god, for what? My child is not afraid me, and I'm not afraid of god. If he exists that is.
Greetings from Iran
My child knows I do not fear God. He knows the biblical bigot is nonsense.
He has seen the nut jobs at an Assembly of God church and he knows they are nut jobs.
My children see me as someone who TRYS to not just talk the talk but also walk the walk.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. Who said that one anyway?
i saw alot of talking, and no walking
My children see me as a practical realist.

Teens are AWESOME. They just need someone to listen to them, and give them gentle direction.
I sent my son to a Christian pre-school. He is only five years old and he knows all about Mary (that is Jesus' mommy)
And God is Jesus' daddy. He knows about Noah's ark and the animals.
And the most important thing, he knows Jesus was a loving and caring man that helped others in their time of need.
don't preach to the kids. Tell them not to do drugs, let them explore, like you all did when they were babies. If they get hurt they will learn not to go back there again, for example if a baby falls off the crib, (parents don't lie, 96% of babies fall out of something like a crib before the age of 9 months. 98% tend to get into trouble and get themselves hurt.) If they get hurt, they know in order for that not to happen again, they dont come back to that same place.So if teen are in an area where other kids do drugs and kill people, and they happen to get shot, they will know if they dont wanna get shot again, they dont come back to that sanme area again.
get on their level. I'm 18 and my pastor is upbeat and makes jokes when he's preaching. we can also wear pant's to church. If a bunch of older people are pushing their older ways(not all are bad) then it's a big turn off. Small children love videos, projects, songs, skits, and they like it(as well as teens) when you can relate it to everyday life.
God in the OT liked blood offerings...he found them ';pleasing';...and in the NT he needed the blood of Christ to wash away sins.....maybe an old fashion family blood offering would be a great way to show the kids back to god!!
Make them hate you. Remember that if they go to Jesus and hate not their own mother and father, they can not be his disciple.
Luke 14:26
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
I love it when I get thumbs-down from Christians for accurately quoting their own Bible.
Be like god. Create and provide, and punish those against him.
What are steps to avoid?
Honest thought out answers welcome on these questions on presenting faith..Christians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
Any kind of appreciation of the Lord by our kids and any kind of love that they develop for Him will come directly from how we love and appreciate the Lord in our living before our children's eyes.
If our kids see us reading the word and praying and learning how to turn to the Lord in all kinds of situation.. In the simple things like when someone calls at the house and you tell your child to say that you are not there or when you are teaches them dishonesty. May the Lord have mercy on us.
I have found that over the years its really crucial to help to shape our kids into vessels that would one day contain the Lord as this priceless treasure. This comes by taking care of thier humanity. Teaching and modeling as a pattern the valued characteristics of Honesty, Hard word, Forgiveness, Patience, Gentleness, all the rich virtues of the HOly Spirit. Teaching them respect for authority and to be a diligent student at school. Keep a clean room and helping around the home. Being thankful and appreciative of what you have. Learning how to give to others and reach out to others in need. Being sensitive to the strengths and weaknesses of others. All these work together to shape our kids into an earthen vessel that, when they each receive the Lord as their savior and Lord He will be contained in an abiding way in them. There is a difference between a plate and a deep jug. Both are vessels.. but one has been shaped with a certain capacity to hold a substance more than another.
If we are careful and prayerful before the Lord to care for our kids in this way.. the Lord will not easily be given up by these ones. All His Divine attributes will expressed through well cultivated and well shaped human virtues.
We cannot think that we can be slopply in raising our kids. The idea of '; don't say as i do but do as i say'; .. or'; don't do what i do.. do as i say'; does not work.
May our God be the Eternal Father to us.. teaching us day by day how to wait before Him regarding these children who are His Heritage. They are all lent to us by the Lord to be offered and given back to Him for His glory.
Learning also how to step back before reacting with these ones who we are so used to. Its important to see that our children are treasured by the Lord and as such we need both hands.. One to love and one to discipline in order for them to grow up to be fine human beings and deep abiding vessels for God to dwell in one day.
May the Lord grant us much mercy in this way. May we look to Him daily to carry out this divine Stewarship of Parenthood before His face and by His strenght wisdom and grace.

sandyChristians only: How does a parent become a good christian model for children and teenagers?
I think the most important thing to remember is like James wrote to be doers of the Bible and not hearers only. If you claim to be a Christian...be a Christian. Let your children see a Godly example. Start teaching them the ways of the LORD and Jesus Christ early in their life and continue on until they are married and left home. Have daily prayer and Bible study at home. Enforce Christian vaules in the family. Do not conform or compromise with the world. Don't give in to kids temper tantrums and whinning when they don't get their way. The #1 myth in raising a teenager is that you can't keep them from getting involved in the bad things out there. Don't adopt the attitude that ';kids will make their own mistakes';.
Show the way by example. Preach and yell and you'll turn them away. Weak and ineffective and you'll be the object of ridicule. Being emotional and upset with difficulties will cast doubt on your faith. You need to show them that what's right in all situations is what is worth striving for, and all other things will fall into place. Use shortcomings to address the need for humility and strength that comes from something greater. Use good things and blessings to express gratitude for these gifts. Always be prepared to give up material gain for principle. Seek a personal stillness, peace and strength that radiates out into the home, and you will be spreading the Gospel. Be true to God and yourself above all things first.
Be the example!!!!
If you are the example and not the pusher, they will follow.
Jesus NEVER pushed, He lived the word and the truth, and they followed!
be the example
Don't push it on them. My dad does that and it just pushes my siblings and I away. We don't want to be around him anymore.
one key thing for teenagers: don't preach. if you do it will feel like you're shoving it down their throats and then they'll just turn away. trust me i am one.
The best example that a parent will set for their children will be found in the parents ';attitude'; towards every day life.To teach the child dedication and respect for God and man kind.This includes all areas both inside and outside of the Church.In my own words,the'; key';is to teach Discipline,humility, respect, faithfulness,and love,avoiding anything that would be displeasing to God.*God Bless*
I feel discriminated against... Since when are christians the only people who are good in this world?
If you force christianity down your teen's throat, they will most likely rebel...
I feel that Jesus deal with me always with Love.Even when I fail Him...he brings me to my knees with the words I love You...you are hurting me right now,but I'm still your Father and I love you.So I teach my kids that our home will always be filled with love and laughter.I treat them with the greatest respect and that causes them to do the same to me.I'm not scared to apologize to my children.All of these things makes them respect me and strive to be greater people.I try to set a good example,but also let them know I'm not perfect.We listen to christian music together(try some they can relate to and really get involved with it...Mercy Me is great...research...I could give a long list)but also let them have their own stuff...don't be too rigid...tell them you count on them to make the right decisions.Kids can surprise you.When you see them making good choices rewards them and and show them how proud you are! Pray with them at night and ask if they have anyone they need to pray for or what's on their mind.This has become a special time for my kids when I get to learn all about their day and everything in their life...then we pray.And remember teach them they can pray too...talk to Him anyway they want...He's their Father...and He truly understands...for you too...ask Him...He'll help and guide you! Good Luck...I'll pray for you!
Always be 'honest' before them,letting them see your struggles of faith as well as your 'God given victories. This will show them that it is all about a growing relationship with God through Jesus 'via' the Holy Spirit. As you share the examples of His Word from the old and new testaments about God's 'interaction' with His creation, you will build a foundation of truth within them. God's word does not return void.
Look for examples of God's beautiful creation to publicly acknowledge His goodness. Direct them to 'notice' for themselves the amazingness of His handiwork. As you establish a sense of 'awe' towards God in them at an early age, when their hearts are tender and open, they won't get caught up in the 'religious tornados'. later. Be sure to seek God's heart, face, and kingdom for yourself, the reality of your own revealed experiences with God will encourage and inspire them to believe in what they have witnessed in your life, which by the way, is an open book before them.
Trust God through the teenage years!!! And PRAY!, PRAY!, PRAY! Don't be discouraged, if they stray a bit! Especially, don't judge yourself for their choices during this season in their lives. Loving God is a choice. Try not to let the expectations of others or the fear of their judgements reguarding your 'parenting skills' get to you. They are not in your shoes. Remember, it was and always will be the grace and kindness of God that draws 'the lost' to repentance.
Faith is believing that God exists, (the real evidence of that, they will see, is His loving character abiding within you!) As you 'live in real relationship' with God before them, you won't have to 'preach' to them about it. I would most definately avoid serving them any form of 'religion'. It could stunt their growth of simple faith. A tip I might offer you, is to present them with other forms of indirect messages of God. Through the 'christian media', inspirational cartoons, movies, books, music, etc. This will help support your position of faith before them, by having a 'network' of other Godly influences, aside from just the Bible. One thing I have done throughout the lives of my children is to share true stories of God's 'miracles' with them, anytime I heard, or read of one, or experienced it for myself. This will stir up a hunger within them to know God that way for themselves. Most of all, enjoy them for the blessed Gifts of God that they are, every day, and every stage of their lives!
Walk the talk.
Don't give kids today the ';do as I say not as I do'; speech.
They are way too smart.
Put no conditions on the love you give them.
Above all be honest.
My mom was always honest with us kids, and today our respect for her is immense as is our love.
I have had to think about this a lot. Being a parent and only recently coming to Christ, I often wonder how I can give good Christian morals to my children. I think it is important to set aside at least one night a week to do some bible study, just reading one chapter together with your children and talking about it can be good.
Chrisitans only? What are you some Star Bellied Sneetch?
I believe that the number one elements are honesty and respect. Kids don't want to know what you think unless they know you are sincere and opened.
The most positive way that I have found to reach teens is to live your life before them in a way that is consistent and genuine.
Allow them to lead the conversation. If they are seeking, they will ask the right questions. If they are not seeking, your directions will fall on deaf ears.
ALSO....make sure they know you love them just the way they are. People should always know that regardless of their actions, they are still of value.
Teens are AWESOME. They just need someone to listen to them, and give them gentle direction.
I sent my son to a Christian pre-school. He is only five years old and he knows all about Mary (that is Jesus' mommy)
And God is Jesus' daddy. He knows about Noah's ark and the animals.
And the most important thing, he knows Jesus was a loving and caring man that helped others in their time of need.
don't preach to the kids. Tell them not to do drugs, let them explore, like you all did when they were babies. If they get hurt they will learn not to go back there again, for example if a baby falls off the crib, (parents don't lie, 96% of babies fall out of something like a crib before the age of 9 months. 98% tend to get into trouble and get themselves hurt.) If they get hurt, they know in order for that not to happen again, they dont come back to that same place.So if teen are in an area where other kids do drugs and kill people, and they happen to get shot, they will know if they dont wanna get shot again, they dont come back to that sanme area again.

Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
If your child was to have a one on one talk with God, do you think your child would tell God that you are one who do a lot of talking and not enough walking, or if you do a lot of talking and no walking?Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
Neither. I don't see why it has to be one or the other. The real world does not work in such absolutes.Do your children see you as a God fearing parent or a parent who do more talking and less walking?
My children see me as a compassionate and dedicated mother, and someone who works to make others happy. They see a mother who volunteers to teach art at schools where art was stripped from the curriculum because of budget cuts. They see a mother who makes food for the elderly neighbors so they can eat more than just microwave dinners. And they see that she can be a good and decent person without gods or religion.
My child would see me as a God fearing parent who is trying her best to be a good one in both words and deeds.Still he knows that I do commit sin and fall short of God's and my child's (11 years) expectations.
So if he were to talk to God, he would pray for God's continued blessings upon me and to change me accordingly to be a better parent.
I think I do more walking than talking. My son sees my moral lifestyle and how I acknowledge my mistakes and faults. However, he was really surprised one day to hear me talk about how much I love Jesus. He didn't realize I was religious! I guess my reasons for my way of living weren't apparent to him. Maybe that's because when he lived with my mother, she went way overboard with the religious thing and forced him to go to church and live as a Christian even though he wasn't one in his heart. I dunno.
My children see in me a Guru, a GOD loving one.
We always conduct Satsang and participate in it.
They have also believe in it and have formed their own view of GOD.
I think God is a made up symbol for people to worship when they don't have faith in themselves. However my daughter chooses to believe in him. We just agree to disagree. She doesn't ';pray'; for me, and I don't mock her beliefs.
God fearing ( reverence for ) Christian, servant who walk the walk with Jesus, and is filled with the Holy Spirit. Praise the Lord !
Well If my child truly honored me, she/he would respect my judgment and actions and not take in upon themselves to undermine me. (unless they were an adult)
Fear god, for what? My child is not afraid me, and I'm not afraid of god. If he exists that is.
Greetings from Iran
My child knows I do not fear God. He knows the biblical bigot is nonsense.
He has seen the nut jobs at an Assembly of God church and he knows they are nut jobs.
My children see me as someone who TRYS to not just talk the talk but also walk the walk.
Spare the rod, spoil the child. Who said that one anyway?
i saw alot of talking, and no walking

What type of carrier do you have because with some carriers you can by phones before your contract ends. Then you can save money and buy the money your self or do chores.

Has anyone been a foster parent? Does anyone have any pointers or help in getting started?
Me and my husband start traingin classes Thursday to become foster parents and I am sooooo excited but is there any pointers or stories or anything about foster parenting that anyone wold like to share. Also is there a place, specifically online that a person could sign up to get free or cheaper stuff for foster parenting? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Has anyone been a foster parent? Does anyone have any pointers or help in getting started?
Well im not a foster parent, nor was I. But i was a foster child for many years, in many homes.
My advise:
Do the best that you can, every family is diffrent, and it will take the child time to get use to yours.
For younger children this may be this may be diffrent as they may not no what's going on. But for teenagers, don't try and be there parents..just be a friend!
For me I was always shy and a momma's girl. It took me a few weeks before I felt comfortable to do anything with the pepole in the homes i was in. I was just getting use to not be at MY home with my family, everything was new....new rules...new town...even new friends, sometimes a new school.
I think you will do great, just give them there space, and be there for them when they want you to be .
Good luck!!Has anyone been a foster parent? Does anyone have any pointers or help in getting started?
If you are in the Uk you should get grants from Social Services to provide you with any equipment you might need
Ok this is really important! I am a foster parent, and i myself went throw 3 foster homes. Kids kinda hate it if they are over 9 years old, and you are trying to take the place of their real parents. If you are doing permanent placement foster homes you should be fine, but with the temporary ones they visit their real parents, so NEVER TALK BAD ABOUT their parents in front of them, they will rebel against you. Just think how they feel before you talk to them about a stressful subject. Good Luck, and Happy Late Easter!!

In the state of GA what is the deal with a 17 year old who wants to live with the other parent?
We both have custody but I don't have physical custody granted by the court. What are the laws concerning a 17 year old? Same as a 14 yaer old?In the state of GA what is the deal with a 17 year old who wants to live with the other parent?
No they are not the same...i know from experience. when i was 17, me and my mom got into a big fight and i left. she called the cops and tried to report me as a runaway, but since i was 17 they told her i was considered an adult and could leave if i wanted to and there was nothing she or anyone else could do to stop me. [I hope you're on different terms of course :)] so yes, the 17 year old can leave if they want to, and go live with you.In the state of GA what is the deal with a 17 year old who wants to live with the other parent?
17 year old is free to live where he/she chooses a 14yr old can not.

If a judge allows a parent to sign rights over shouldnf he still pay till child is 18?
He already owes 2500. never recieve a payment since it was ordered to pay since 2004. Can you have the decree changed to where can pay till child is 18?If a judge allows a parent to sign rights over shouldnf he still pay till child is 18?
that's the hole point of signing rights away you don't have to pay any more because you no longer have any say in the matter when you accepted the rights you accepted all the responsibilities including the financial part.
however he still owes the 2500If a judge allows a parent to sign rights over shouldnf he still pay till child is 18?
He would only owe the back support of $2500. When a parent signs away their rights that is it, they don't have to pay any more.
he still owes the $2500, but after he signs over his rights for child. he pays nothing

How can I get my parent to be a little more respectful?
Once on the bart we saw this lady with a big facial scar, and my mom gasped. I told her later to not pay special attention to people exclusively because of deformities, but I bet she'd do it again, I just don't think it's very politeHow can I get my parent to be a little more respectful?
A gasp is a uncontrollable response to a sight that the person finds amazing in some way. It's too bad if the person saw or heard the gasp, but I'll bet it isn't the worst reaction the person has seen, even that very day.
Now if you mother stared or pointed or made loud comments, you would have something to talk to her about. One thing that can stop this response is familiarity, discussion, and more experiences. A lot of people with scars like that don't go out because of our responses which is why we see so few of them.
Next time, if you are the one to notice first, distract her somehow until you can tell her what she is going to see. That might give her time to process the information. I don't think the gasp was deliberate but only you can judge that.How can I get my parent to be a little more respectful?
Tell your Mom you want to talk with her privately......THEN say ..';Mom, you know it someone has a facial scar we are not suppose to say anything to that person to cause attention to it.'; Mom. Please do not EMBARRASS the woman.'; (Even though she probably gets embarrassed a lot or is just use to it that it doesn't even phase her anymore. you know??) How would you feel???'; (you could add that if you want).
Hopefully, you Mom will REALIZE...But if not, you did the best you could....just know that.hand soap

If you found out your child was gay, what would you do to help you cope with your failure as a parent?
It's not a failure! Being gay wouldn't make me love him or her any less!If you found out your child was gay, what would you do to help you cope with your failure as a parent?
I would only feel like a failure if my child turned out to be some freak obsessed with other peoples' sex lives.
A Georgia study showed that the more one ';disapproves'; of homosexuality, the more likely he is to get aroused at the sight of gay porn. This, even though all of the subjects referred to themselves as heterosexual. The men who weren't bothered by homosexuality, showed no arousal.
This is why smart women never go out with men who disparage gay men. To do so is to risk dating a repressed homosexual. And while there is nothing wrong with gay men, we don't want to date them.If you found out your child was gay, what would you do to help you cope with your failure as a parent?
I think going to group therapy would be a good thing for you. You can find a group fo parents with similar failure...parents who kids are on drugs, whose kids got pregnant and same-sex parents who biological kids turned out to be straight.(Imagine the embarrassment that is causing them)
On a more serious and less judgemental note (I hope), the sexual orientation of your children ais not your *fault* or even under your control.
Think of it this way, were your parents given a celebratory party because of their success in raising you straight? Have you ever heard of ANYONE crowing about what a great parent they because they have hetro kids?
If the parents of hetro kids are not widely celebrated for being successful based on orientation, why would parents of gay kids be seen has failures for have gay kids?
In a way, I wish there was one controllable cause of sexual orientation. If there were, there would never be another teen suicide because a gay/lesbian teenager was so utterly rejected and hated by the very people that are supposed to love and protect them. Why go on living if your own parents hate you?
You're only a failure as a parent if you then reject your child because s/he is gay.
If this is serious and not an attention-getting ploy, contact PFLAG.org.
EDIT: It's not that you need therapy for thinking that being gay is wrong, although you certainly need educating there.
You need it for thinking that a child's sexuality reflects badly on your parenting. (Unless of course you sexually abused him)
A gay person (or a straight one) doesn't need therapy for thinking homosexuality is fine, because all *reputable* psychotherapy experts, pediatricians and other medical providers have determined that it is a perfectly normal variation in human sexuality.
Excuse me?
Wow, that's a terrible thing to say.
Being gay is something you are born with, it has nothing to do with the way you were raised.
Maybe if you are intolorent of gays you shouldn't be a parent. Being a parent is about loveing your child and accepting them as they were born.
I don't think you need therapy parsay but I do think you need to know what homosexualy actually is. IT has nothing to do with you as a parent. Sorry but you don't deserve THAT much credit for a kid.
How come being straight is okay and being homosexual is wrong? I mean you say that why would you need therapy for thinking it's wrong but they don't need it for thinking it's right. Well what's the difference? They are both sexual orientations, animals even have them. It's all apart of nature and the way people are made. Youjust need to get that through your head.

So long as my child told me in person I wouldn't have failed as a parent; I'd have succeeded. The ultimate hope for all parents is that your children grow to become happy and fulfilled, I'm not sure you can do that if you are unable to accept your sexual preferrences and the fact my child would feel comfortable in telling me is matters to me as a parent.
Ok... so I have a child who is gay, I follow... but you left out the part where I was a failure as a parent. Did the kid kill somebody? Drink and drive? Knock somebody up? Oh right... gay... didn't knock anybody up.
Nope... still missing it.
I mean, if you are in the closet and so ashamed... I mean, see a therapist. Let it go... something. Officially the 21st century. It's ok to be gay. Like, they are even on broadcast TV and everything.
how are you a failure of a parent because your child is gay? that probably one of the most ridiculous things i've ever heard .but if you do feel this way i'm going to suggest you get counseling you can't give your child the support and love they need harboring those kind of feeling.contacting the F.L.A.G.organization is a good place to start.good luck to you both
I do not call it parental failure. I'll have to assess the condition that made him what s/he is. We can sit down and see how that can be resolved. You know like talking about the scripture and why homosexuality is not permitted. if homosexual behavior is something natural, there should be procreation. it is simple lust. we try to solve the social ailment that caused all the issue. if it did not work out, I'll let my child practice what makes him happy. what can you do?
Wow! How would the parent have failed it wasnt a test?...If anything I feel sorry for the child that is gay because they have to live with biggots. I could care less if my kids turned out gay the only reason why it would hurt me, is to know that they wont be giving me grandkids.
I'd beat that child till he was straight. LOL i'm just kidding I would have to accept it despite my disappointment. And i'd tell my child ';i don't agree with what you are doing but i still love you'; It's the only way you can deal with it (in a mature way)
I don't think someone fails as a parent if they're child is gay. I think someone fails as a parent if there child has murdered/raped/robbed somebody. You can't compare homosexuality to those other things.
I would do nothing. Having a child who is gay doesn't make you a failure. A parent who chooses to ignore their child and no longer communicate with them for being gay is a failure...they are failing to love and support their child.
For a start you are born gay and I wouldnt be bothered in the slightest. I would welcome their boyfriend or girlfriend and would have no problem with it. I just want them to be happy and not have to hide anything from me
Sweetie there is nothing about gaydom that has to do with failure.
One needs to celebrate what they did *right* to bring a gay person into the world.
You need some help, hun.
what are you saying here if you are parent of a gay kid that means you have failed.. what a stupid statement.. you should go read about more scientific data and look into the phobia you are having.. try to get some help..
I wouldn't consider myself a failure if my child turned out gay...that's awful! I'd only consider myself a failure if my child ended up a murderer or drug addict.
I would take a gay child any day over one who hates himself so much he has to post nonsensical rants about women, gays and feminism all day long.
Nothing. I wouldn't consider myself a failure for the choices of my children. Their success and failures are in their hands.
wow....if you can actually consider thinking that about your own child because of something they cant control...then you ARE a failure.
I would only feel like a failure as a (hypothetical) parent if my child turned into a drug addict.
I would not feel like a failure in any way. If my child was gay I would do the same thing I've always done love him and support him for who he is.
Is there is a punchline to this joke?
Edit
You usually ask good questions. Maybe this question is from a troll?
You need therapy for your unhealthy bigoted hatred of people different to yourself
Wow, you can't be serious.....
How does your child being gay make you a failure as a parent?
YOU are a failure as a human being.
Just ask your parents! They have first hand knowledge.
people are born gay, it is not the failure of the parents or child
Run to your mother for advice?
ask ur mum how she coped with it when she found out that ur fucked up in the head
I would only feel like a failure if my child turned out to be some freak obsessed with other peoples' sex lives.
A Georgia study showed that the more one ';disapproves'; of homosexuality, the more likely he is to get aroused at the sight of gay porn. This, even though all of the subjects referred to themselves as heterosexual. The men who weren't bothered by homosexuality, showed no arousal.
This is why smart women never go out with men who disparage gay men. To do so is to risk dating a repressed homosexual. And while there is nothing wrong with gay men, we don't want to date them.If you found out your child was gay, what would you do to help you cope with your failure as a parent?
I think going to group therapy would be a good thing for you. You can find a group fo parents with similar failure...parents who kids are on drugs, whose kids got pregnant and same-sex parents who biological kids turned out to be straight.(Imagine the embarrassment that is causing them)
On a more serious and less judgemental note (I hope), the sexual orientation of your children ais not your *fault* or even under your control.
Think of it this way, were your parents given a celebratory party because of their success in raising you straight? Have you ever heard of ANYONE crowing about what a great parent they because they have hetro kids?
If the parents of hetro kids are not widely celebrated for being successful based on orientation, why would parents of gay kids be seen has failures for have gay kids?
In a way, I wish there was one controllable cause of sexual orientation. If there were, there would never be another teen suicide because a gay/lesbian teenager was so utterly rejected and hated by the very people that are supposed to love and protect them. Why go on living if your own parents hate you?
You're only a failure as a parent if you then reject your child because s/he is gay.
If this is serious and not an attention-getting ploy, contact PFLAG.org.
EDIT: It's not that you need therapy for thinking that being gay is wrong, although you certainly need educating there.
You need it for thinking that a child's sexuality reflects badly on your parenting. (Unless of course you sexually abused him)
A gay person (or a straight one) doesn't need therapy for thinking homosexuality is fine, because all *reputable* psychotherapy experts, pediatricians and other medical providers have determined that it is a perfectly normal variation in human sexuality.
Excuse me?
Wow, that's a terrible thing to say.
Being gay is something you are born with, it has nothing to do with the way you were raised.
Maybe if you are intolorent of gays you shouldn't be a parent. Being a parent is about loveing your child and accepting them as they were born.

What kinda education is needed to be a Foster Parent?
What are the advantages/disadvantages?
job outlook?
education requirements?
training requirements?
salary?
benefits?
schedule?
Do you need to travel?
working conditions?
any oppurtunities for advancement?
what personal qualities do i need?
I CANT FIND ANYTHING ON IT! UGH!What kinda education is needed to be a Foster Parent?
Being a foster parent is not really a job. You get money to pay for the living expenses of the child, but it's not a salary. There are no specific education requirements, and you don't need to travel. The working conditions are whatever the conditions are in your own house. To qualify, you need to have an appropriate home, and pass a screening to see if you have the ability to be a good parent.

Does A parent have to sign for their child to get an abortion?
Im wondering if a underage girl wants to get an abortion if her parent has to sign a concent form or is it her decision. Does she just have to have an adult or must it be a parent?Does A parent have to sign for their child to get an abortion?
im most states the parent of the minor HAS to be there to signDoes A parent have to sign for their child to get an abortion?
It has to be a parent or legal guardian.
No. Parental consent isn't needed but the parent has to be aware of it. Although they don't need to give permission they must at least know and an abortion will not be performed unless the parent is aware of it or it shouldn't be. Look into adoption it's a much better choice then abortion.
not really but they probably will have to pay for the coat hanger...another note dont knock p any teenage girls u stupid ****!!!!ruin there life cause u just had to bust a nut and than avoid responsibilty by getin abortion go eat **** asshoole!!!!
unfortunately i don't believe you need parental consent to have an abortion.
although i think you should tell your parents anyway!!!!!!
It depends on the state she lives in. Every state has it's own laws regarding parental consent and notification.
In my area, it MUST be a LEGAL GUARDIAN for a MINOR child trying to get an abortion.
You might want to Google the abortion laws in your state. Each one is different.
';Underage'; would be the key word. If she is ';underage'; in your area (in some places, that means under 18...in most it means under 16) then she would need parental consent...and her parents would have access to all medical records, as well. You'll need to look up abortion laws in your area or contact planned parenthood.
It depends on the state that you live in. In some states yes you have to have parental consent, in others you need to simply inform your parents that you are doing it, there are also age restrictions in some place. For example you may need parental permission if you are under the age or 16 or maybe even 18. However, if a bordering states has no parental consent laws, they could go to that state to get the procedure done, without parental consent.

Someone joining the Army has a son, is not married to the mom and is a non custodial parent?
Is that child considered a dependent to the non custodial parent? Im thinking yes since the non custodial parent pays child support. Am I right?Someone joining the Army has a son, is not married to the mom and is a non custodial parent?
child support has no bearing in a tax return. only the custodial parent can claim the child.Someone joining the Army has a son, is not married to the mom and is a non custodial parent?
By the IRS standard to claim the child as dependent the parent must provide more that 50% of the child's support (so paying child support not necessarily means he can claim it as dependent).
Only one parent can claim the child as dependent; and the custodial parent have priority.
For tax purposes, the custodial parent has first choice to claim the dependency exemption. The custodial parent could let the non-custodial parent claim the exemption with written permission (like Form 8332) or by court order.
not necessarily.
for tax purposes in order to qualify as being your dependent you would have to provide more than 50% of the child's financial support. In most cases child support doesn't cross that line.
normally u r not allowed to join the army if u have a child. u can be in the army when u have the child but cant join after that. i think the child will live with his mom
';Dependent'; for what purpose? Military dependent benefits? Claiming on taxes?

Why does the body ready itself for reproduction years before the mind is ready to become a parent?

Years ago, life expectancies were short. You were lucky to live past 45. Girls as young as 16 had children and guys were married at 20, and you didn't have a lot of time to get it right since the mortality rate of children was also high.
Nowadays, we force kids to grow up and expect them to handle adult situations without giving them the tools to do so. Girls as young as 10 are having babies, but neither are they ready in every sense of the word to keep and take care of a child when they're still one themselves.Why does the body ready itself for reproduction years before the mind is ready to become a parent?
Because a person does not need a good education, morals, values, common sense, and even plain having some experience in life to reproduce. If only the body did not mature until a persons mind and soul matured first. Which in retrospect would be after high school of course around early twenties. But sadly the two are not linked and will never be linked. But it would sure cut down on a lot of unwanted pregnancies and teen pregnancies. I get what your saying but really making a baby is as easy as it sounds. I am not talking about fertility ether. I mean unprotected sex may equal child. If only certain individuals grasped this concept. And if only certain individuals realized they are far to young and imature to be having sex in the first place.
The question should be: ';How come humans are not mentally mature enough to raise a child once their bodies are ready to reproduce?';
Young humans are capable of much more than what is expected of them by modern society. However, our current culture focuses on training the young people to be consumers and not responsible members of the human race who contribute to the good of humanity.
Years ago, 14-16 yrs of age was the average age to get married and start a family. By years I mean a couple hundred to a few hundred...its only recently (within the last 100 yrs) that people are older having children. 200 hundred yrs ago I would be considered an old maid...and I'm 25
Evolution (I don鈥檛 believe that we evolved from apes), but in ancient days people did not have the expected life span as we do now, so it was important for them to reproduce early. As we evolved life expectancy increased and the reproduction process remained the same.
No shxt.
Puberty comes before mental maturity.
just the way god made us. early people would have kids around 13-14(wen the body ';readys itself';)
even later than that but still ancient times girls would be married around 13
I think it is more our serf-based economy doing it... If we could make our living off the land and everyone treated us fair, maybe we could still pull it off.
Wow, that is a very good question in which i havent a clue to the answer
A very long time ago, people began to have children at 12 or 13. the life expectancy was only 30.
cuz a long time ago we only lived 4 like 30 years but now we live longer so we can have kids when we r ready
It's a big cosmic joke, but not a very funny one.

What one quality do you wish your significant other had so he/she could be a better parent?
this is the reverse of *smile*'s earlier question. :P
yes, we all love our husbands/boyfriends/girlfriends/fiances. but no one's perfect. that doesn't make us unhappy. but just in case we could wish for that one thing for our loves, what would it be?What one quality do you wish your significant other had so he/she could be a better parent?
Patients, and to stop having what I call ';Mantrums';.
He has been told to leave the room when he has a *mantrum*. I don't want my son to pick up on that and think its ok to have a tantrum whenever something doesn't go his way. The husband has been trying very hard to keep them under control. LOL!What one quality do you wish your significant other had so he/she could be a better parent?
I wish he'd be a little less rigid with scheduling and more flexible with changing of plans. I totally understand and accept why he isn't, though; it's because of his job and I knew and accepted that going into the relationship and having kids, so I'm okay with it.
That, and if he'd get out of doctor-mode at home more easily. The moment he's alone with me, there's no trace of doctor-mode, but he seems to have trouble doing that with my two eldest, probably because the relationship is still new between them. He's great when he does shake that persona off, but sometimes it's just like he can't relax enough to get out of that at home.
I wish my husband would just learn to help more overall with day to day stuff with our son.
Like get up earlier to help me make his lunch or set his clothes out so that I can cook breakfast. Or after daycare/work, get stuff out and start prepping for dinner.
We both work. He leaves before me but I wake up before him because I have lots to do for myself and our son. I guess just putting in a bit more overall effort鈥?
LOL@ninja jenny's ';mantrums'; My husband does that too!
I wish my husband wouldn't get so frustrated and be more compassionate with our son. He doesn't see him as much as I do and I just want him to realize he's a baby and we shouldn't expect anything more. My son is so easy I think my husband is spoiled. When he is teething and cranky my husband acts like the world is ending- he can't deal with it.
The ONE thing that he/she could give a child is the
Gift of Time. One on one time. Cherished memorable times.
There are many age-old sayings that remind us of this. They are age old because they ring true from generation to generation.
*Making* the time to be with your little one will establish a bond that will never be broken. You cannot take back yesterday the same way you cannot un-scramble eggs.
That he would lose weight. I love him so much, but at 400lbs, playing with our very active 1, 4 and 5 year old sons gets him out of breath and causes his back and feet to hurt from standing. He's a very loving guy, but most of the parenting goes to me. I think it's because he can't run after the boys and play with them like I can.
Less anal about messes. Definitely! He is constantly telling the kids, ';Don't make a mess!!!'; They are 2 and 3, that's what they do best. He likes the house spotless, but with two small kids, that is nearly impossible. I wish he would lighten up about the messes and let them have their fun.
Other than that, he is an awesome daddy. Love him!!!
I wish my ex, had the ambition and drive to WANT to help financially and emotionally support his children. He thinks popping in and out of their lives and showing his love during those visits is enough to get him off the deadbeat list.
I wish he could be as patient as I am (or even more). I also wish (I know you just said one, but here I go) that he gave more hugs and kisses. He did not have them growing up and he does not seem very comfortable giving them (yet for some reason I cannot get him off of me, hmmm...)
I'm going with the majority here... Patience!
My 4 year old has now inherited her father's impatience. She thinks that everything ';is going to take forever';.
well im single but her dad.....needs to prioritise better....i wish his brain would realise that when he drops her off she doesnt magically disappear for a couple of weeks! other than that hes not bad lol
To be more... compassionate? Sometimes I have to remind him that Lilly is just a little kid and doesn't know better on a lot of things (she's not even two yet).
I wish he was a clean freak. I am one, and he is whatever the opposite would be.
Patience
Patience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patience. Hands down.
my husband would be more patience. he needs it. right now he gets it from me.
More out-spoken. I hate having to drag things out of him.hand soap

He's great when he does shake that persona off, but sometimes it's just like he can't relax enough to get out of that at home.
I wish my husband would just learn to help more overall with day to day stuff with our son.
Like get up earlier to help me make his lunch or set his clothes out so that I can cook breakfast. Or after daycare/work, get stuff out and start prepping for dinner.
We both work. He leaves before me but I wake up before him because I have lots to do for myself and our son. I guess just putting in a bit more overall effort鈥?
LOL@ninja jenny's ';mantrums'; My husband does that too!
I wish my husband wouldn't get so frustrated and be more compassionate with our son. He doesn't see him as much as I do and I just want him to realize he's a baby and we shouldn't expect anything more. My son is so easy I think my husband is spoiled. When he is teething and cranky my husband acts like the world is ending- he can't deal with it.
The ONE thing that he/she could give a child is the
Gift of Time. One on one time. Cherished memorable times.
There are many age-old sayings that remind us of this. They are age old because they ring true from generation to generation.
*Making* the time to be with your little one will establish a bond that will never be broken. You cannot take back yesterday the same way you cannot un-scramble eggs.
That he would lose weight. I love him so much, but at 400lbs, playing with our very active 1, 4 and 5 year old sons gets him out of breath and causes his back and feet to hurt from standing. He's a very loving guy, but most of the parenting goes to me. I think it's because he can't run after the boys and play with them like I can.
Less anal about messes. Definitely! He is constantly telling the kids, ';Don't make a mess!!!'; They are 2 and 3, that's what they do best. He likes the house spotless, but with two small kids, that is nearly impossible. I wish he would lighten up about the messes and let them have their fun.
Other than that, he is an awesome daddy. Love him!!!
I wish my ex, had the ambition and drive to WANT to help financially and emotionally support his children. He thinks popping in and out of their lives and showing his love during those visits is enough to get him off the deadbeat list.
I wish he could be as patient as I am (or even more). I also wish (I know you just said one, but here I go) that he gave more hugs and kisses. He did not have them growing up and he does not seem very comfortable giving them (yet for some reason I cannot get him off of me, hmmm...)
I'm going with the majority here... Patience!
My 4 year old has now inherited her father's impatience. She thinks that everything ';is going to take forever';.
well im single but her dad.....needs to prioritise better....i wish his brain would realise that when he drops her off she doesnt magically disappear for a couple of weeks! other than that hes not bad lol
To be more... compassionate? Sometimes I have to remind him that Lilly is just a little kid and doesn't know better on a lot of things (she's not even two yet).
I wish he was a clean freak. I am one, and he is whatever the opposite would be.
Patience
Patience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Patience. Hands down.
my husband would be more patience. he needs it. right now he gets it from me.
More out-spoken. I hate having to drag things out of him.
In a gay/lesbian family what does your children call the spouse that is not their birth parent?
My cousins are lesbians and plan to get married. They want a child and they plan to have my cousin be pregnant and all but we where wondering what the baby would call my cousin's wife! My cousin is Italian and her wife is Greek just to let you all know.In a gay/lesbian family what does your children call the spouse that is not their birth parent?
I have two mothers and I just call my birth mother Mom and my mom's partner Mama Kate. :) I know another family where the daughter calls one mom, Mom and the other, Mama.In a gay/lesbian family what does your children call the spouse that is not their birth parent?
Usually they just call them both Mom or one Mom and the other Mommy or Mama or something like that. At least that is what the kids I used to babysit did.
In this situation the children are both genetically related to both parents but neither the sperm (obviously) or the egg are from the women they were from other family members from both families. So one woman's family member donated an egg and the others donated sperm. They did this because they tried using their eggs and it didn't work. I guess the quality was not good. One of the women was the one to carry the babies and actually that one is more like the father and the other stays at home. Also on the birth certificate it say parent instead of mother or father and both women have their name on it so they are both legally the parents of the children.
Well, I have two dads... I call them either by their first names, dad or father alternately (if they're together and need clarification as to who I'm talking to, I'll address one as dad and the other as father or go by first names). Whichever. Neither were my biological father, they were my legal godparents but I never knew them nor they me until my mother died when I was 11. They kinda just... inherited me.
Well, since they have different backgrounds, she/he could call one by the Italian word for mom and the other by the Greek word for mom.
My friend in high school called her mom 'Mummy' and her non-biological mom 'Mummy Lexi'
My friend back in high school, well, his mom was a lesbian... he just called them both mom, or mother... or variations of mom, basically.
Screwed up, duhhh
The one couple I know of where this is the case, their (adopted) daughter calls them ';Mommy'; and ';Mama';.
The child should obviously call it's birth mother mummy. I think that the child should call it's birth mother's wife by her first name. I think that this is one of those things that only you can decide. Only listen to suggestions like mine. Don't let anyone decide for you.

If you're under 18 do you need a parent's permission to get a body piercing or just an adult over 18?
I'm 17 and want to get my belly button pierced but my mom refuses to take me to get it done. I know you have to be 18 or over to get a piercing without parental permission in NY, but does it have to be a parent, or can it be an uncle, or a friend whose over 18?If you're under 18 do you need a parent's permission to get a body piercing or just an adult over 18?
It has to be a parent or legal gaurdian.
For the sake of a few months, why do this and annoy your mother?
Wait until your 18, then everyone is happyIf you're under 18 do you need a parent's permission to get a body piercing or just an adult over 18?
If you can find a shop that will do it underage without a parent or guardian to sign off on it, run like hell. No legitimate shop would do it.
I got my ears pierced a month ago when my parents were out of town and my uncle took me a signed for me. so you could try but go with someone who looks like they could be your gardian.
