My daughter is almost 5 and she has a hard time entertaining herself so I can get dressed for the day or do work around the house. She has a lot of toys but rarely plays with most of them and wants to either watch t.v. or follow us around. It drives me crazy and my husband too, because she comes in our room when we tell her not to. I've threatened to throw out her toys, but it does no good. When we get angry she just laughs at us. We tried closing her up in her room but she just pounds on the door and screams that she is scared. We are expecting another child and we are afraid her behaivior is going to just get worse when the baby comes. She does not behave like this for other family that watches her. Anyone got any advice? Preferably parents who can relate to this situation and have some solutions please.
Im not a parent, but my nephew who is 5 is EXACTLY the same. He never listens. I have to babysit him everyday, its so hard to tell him to do things. If i tell him it`s time to clean up, he starts yelling and hitting me and such.
Im pretty sure it`s probably just the age there in. Good luck with your new baby!

i'd like to start my own babysitting business. how can i get started??
Many ways. You could make little signs and post them around public places. ( make sure you put information such as "experienced" and things like that too make the parents feel comfortable enough to call you.
Also, you could ask your family ( aunts and uncles ) If anybody they know has younger kids, and they might need babysitters.

is this a good poem:
Surrounded by friends, but she has none of her own, shes in a crowded room, but feels so alone.
Late one night she was lying in her bed, tear drops falling, thoughts running through her head.
Her hopes and dreams and she cried until she could no more.
Home she could no longer stay, so she ran far away, she left her quiet home that night, she went down the street and out of sight.
She didnt see the car until it was too late. she felt all emotions at once. Pain. Love. Hate.
Now shes somewhere where everyone cares and the streets are paved with gold. She looks down from heaven, shining her light upon the young and old.
So if you have a friendship that is strong and true, then guard it with your life, unlike the girl who spread her wings and flew.
did you like it?
i need advice.
I like it.

My best guy friend wanted to kill himself. At least thats what he told me. He said it was because a girl didnt like him. He said that no one cared and that he had already tried before. It really worried me and I told him that I cared. As I was walking to the bus, it really hit me what he had said. When I got on the bus I realized that i liked him as more than a friend. The problem is, the next day he acted as if nothing happened. I'm not sure if he was telling the truth about wanting to kill himself. I'm only 13 but I have liked him for over 5 months. My question is ...........
Do you think you have to be a certain age to love?
It a common thing to say things like that. We all go threw it. ( well most of us ) I know I have. If you really feel like he is that serious about it, tell his parents his parents will do something about it such as take him to see a consolour or something. If you dont want to be involved in that, make him realize a lot of people care. And, I dont think you have to be a certain age to love. There are all kinds of love though. You should really tell him how you feel.
I hope everything works out for you!!

Hey!I am 14 almost 15(august 17)and me and my boyfriend have been going out for 2months.And he says i am perfect and like the "one".And says that we will be together forever.And i feel the exact same way too.And he asked me to marry him and i said yes!But we are not going to get married till we are out of school!But did i do the right thing about saying yes???ill rate you if u answer!~Kristen~
Well, fact of the matter is... It probably wouldn`t happen like that. I hope you guys last a long time though... Just dont get your hopes too high... And if you start off like that, in the end, you could be really heart broken because of the words that have been said. ( thats how I was anyways ) But I think it`s awesome that you think you`ve found "the one" and he has too. I wish you the best!

okay. there is this kid that has been in love with me for like 3 years. he constantly used to bother me at school and on the internet and stuff. not to be superficial or anything like that but this kid smells so bad you can't breathe around him - no lie. two summers ago, he told me he loved me and i said " ew" and he threw a glass bottle at me. after that i didn't talk to him for a while. then i decided i was too mean and decided to talk to him again.. but his obsession with me got HORRIBLE. finally at the end of my junior year he was pestering me and i couldnt take it anymore and i screamed at him to leave me alone. then after school i was walking to work, and i saw him in my field on the way there. i freaked out and didnt know what to do so i let him talk and after that i didnt want anything to do with him because seriously this kid is MESSED UP ( like OCD and anxiety disorder). i just dont know what to do when i go back to school and have to see him again. hellllpppp!
Wow. You should try your best too avoid him, but not make it look like your ignoring him. Its sounds like he is a danger to you. If it gets too bad, maybe you should talk to someone about it. Not him, he would probably take it the wrong way.

Hey..
me and my friend are together in a babysitting job and we love children so much and we just already let out flyers one,last year and once just recently the next year..on the 1st year flyer given out..no1 responded..the 2nd year one responded..liked our job..gave us $20 each for 1 1/2 hours...i know.. alot..o well..lol..back to the subject..ever since that day..no1 has responded..what should we do? send out more flyers or keep waiting or quit caring..what should we do??
thanks if u help..
You could always send out more flyers, or post it around places. A TON of people need babysitters around here, thats probably how it is there too. Just put good information... And let them know you guys are experienced and just make them feel comfortable enough too call you and offer you guys the job.

I belive in God, but i was wondering, if God created us, and all the earth, how was he created and how did he create everything, what was it it all like w/o God, how can he just appear from thin air when there is no thin air, were does he appear from if there's nuthin to appear from, how did he create the universe and beyond, if there was never anything to create it from, if there was once no such thing as the universe, where did he create it from, was there sumthin before God, and if so how did he/she make stuff, where did God come from????????
if it helps, i belive in Christianity, and I'm a catholic (my parents are catholic, and i was brought up in a catholic church, but when i moved, i started goin to a non denominational church, i haven't been to church in about 7.5 months, and im thinkin about goin back to church so i wanted info)
if u don't know how to answer this, please just put ur input, like even if all u said was unexplainable i'd still rate ya a 3, unless i get a rude remark, i'll rate you a 3,4,or 5 usually i rate 4s and 5s tho!!
i've asked my really religious nayber, and she said God was always there, ALWAYS WHERE?
You just have to have faith and beleive that he did all that stuff. Theres really no way too prove it... that stuff confuses me too and I want to know the answers.

My Uncle Alan used to live with me. Although hes not very pleasent, I USED to love him and he had no problem with me either. So he moved out and my mom recently had a baby. Im 12, the baby is 1. He loves the baby so much. I dont like her at all but thats besides the point. He suddnely hates me, and he literally hates me, and loves her. He has tshirts with her on it, hundreds of pics of her on the walls, shes his DESKTOP for heavens sake!!! Why does he not like me? Hes really pissin me off. Not only this, he abuses his pets!! One had to be uthinized becuz they hurt it when it had an eating disorder!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?
He probably loves you as much as he loves the baby. When my mom had a baby, I was 11..almost same age as you... a TON of attention was taken away from me and was put onto the baby. That all my parents ever payed attention too. I think thats really common. As the baby gets older, It gets better. They just become old news.
Just tell your uncle, that you feel left out. Im sure he'll understand.

I'm stuck between two guys.. I don't know which one to choose even tho I already go out with one of them. Before I started going out with boy 1, my friend introduced me to boy 2 and things were going great. Then, I went to hershey park with boy 1 (and the rest of my school) and we hit it off! we went of every ride together and he was being such a sweetheart (and still is) and we cuddled the whole ride home! After that, we started going out. The day after we started going out I left for soccer camp and the beach, so I was gone for 2 weeks. When i came back I was hanging out with boy 1 alot and everything was going great... and then I saw boy 2 the other day at the pool.. and OMG he looked so cute! I've started talking to boy 2 a lot now.. i still talk to boy 1 a lot tho.. I'm confused about who i like more tho. I really like my boyfriend, but then i remember that if i hadnt started going out with him I'd be going out with boy 2. boy 2 still has feelings for me.. he was asking about me while i was gone and i do like him too. Boy 2 is also a year older than me, not that it makes a difference. but i like that he's older.. and its not like he's some older badboy, he's a nice guy. I'm just not sure if i should stick with my boyfriend for the summer, or break up with him and be single for the rest of the summer so i can have both, or stay with him and just flirt with boy 2 still? HELP ME!
I say go with boy 1 since you guys are going out. It would break his poor little heart if you broke up with him for boy 2. But yeah... tough spot your in.

There's this girl that likes my boyfriend a lot... She always tries to break us up and she won't take no for an answer... He says that he doesn't like her but whenever I'm talking to him online he ignores me most of the time to talk to her... Do you think maybe he likes her, or do you think he's just trying to get her off his case? (15/f)
Hmm Its really hard too say. You should just kick that girls ass :D
No, but for real.. I've been in this situation before, and my best friend bribed her way into making my boyfriend break up w/ me for her. So if I were you.. I'd make sure that he doesnt do that. Just talk to him... or when your online, start a convo that gets his attention so he pays attention to you. I dont know if this helped... probably not. But I hope everything turns out okay.

well my friend is spending the night with me!and my sis was going to dothan tomorrow and i was orignally going with her but instead we were gonna see if i could go to my friends house that is spending the night with me i dont know what to do casue i feel bad that i'm not going with my sister who should i go with? my sister or my friend?
Try talking to your friend, and explain the situation your in. She might understand, and you can go with your sister. If not, I'd say go with your friend. Your sister will alway love you no matter what. You guys are stuck together, but friends... dont exactly understand where your coming from sometimes..and might hold that grudge on you and give you the silent treatment. If your sister does that, she'll get over it fast. But yeah, tough spot your in. good luck.

If he has a girlfriend, leave him alone. All 3 of you could get hurt in this situation. If he said he doesnt know, then thats a no. If he really wanted to he'd say yes right off the bat.

okay, i have this friend,and we're going into 7th grade,but she still acts like we're going into like,3rd! and i talked to her,but i dont know if she listened.the same problem is going on with my other friend.but worse!she plays with her food at lunch and everything!i'm the only normal one of the bunch,and i hate it,it holds me back from the "popular people" which, i know i could be apart of,if they wern't so weird,you know? help me fast so i can try it before summer ends!!!!!
You shouldn`t worry too much about being part of the "popular" group. Most people dont care too much... people arnt just going to stop talking to you just because your not with the "in crowd" . Your friends are just kids at heart i guess you could say. I find myself playing with my food sometimes too. If you still want too be part of popular group, you should go talk to them instead of waiting for them too come to you. If there too worried about the way your friends act, then there not going to be a true friend.
