My middle child and only son is 9 almost 10 and we moved in June and in august my older kids started at their new s schools apparently my son has been doing awful he never mentioned anything and neither did the school and now as the semester is ending his teacher sends us a note about his poor grades how do I help him with school please take into account i have a new job and 4 daughters that also need me
You should treat this as mostly a failing grade for the *school*. It's the school's responsibility to teach your son and keep him engaged, and clearly they're failing to do so. Quite possibly your son isn't putting in enough effort, or is allowing himself to become distracted or whatever, but he's only 9 years old -- it's the school which should be doing whatever's necessary to make him perform.
Probably you should speak to his teachers and figure out what's up. Very possibly you can do some things to help, such as by encouraging your son to take his homework and classes seriously if he's not already. By all means, if your son is goofing off all the time, it's probably appropriate to discipline him. But if the teachers start saying that it's all your fault or your son's fault, don't take that. They're the adults who are spending 40 hours per week with him with the sole purpose of teaching him.
If you reach the point where no improvement seems possible, I recommend changing schools.
Keep in mind that it's kind of unnatural for a 9-year-old to be spending 8 hours per day sitting indoors at a desk. Oftentimes kids this age just can't concentrate this long. Although some might encourage you to do so, I'd be very reluctant to give your son medication for attention deficit disorder. Being inattentive in this environment is natural, and the proper solution is for the school to work around it in some way.

Ok, so my hair stylist told me I shouldn't use baby shampoo on my kids. She claims that tear-free soaps and shampoos contain Novocaine or something similar.
Now, I'm no fool. I go home, first thing I do is read the ingredients listed on the bottle of shampoo. Nowhere do I find Novocaine, or any other "caine" type of ingredient.
So I tried looking it up online. Someone asked it on Yahoo Answers and said it also contains formaldehyde.
What the...? Come on! Give me a break, already, ok?
I'm not very internet savvy, so that's the best I could come up with. So please don't tell me to Google.
I don't need to have this concern about the soap that goes into the eyes, noses, ears, and sometimes mouths of my children!
Please! Somebody give me a FACT.
Solid Fact.
Links to reliable sources GREATLY APPRECIATED.
Don't worry that you may do looking for nothing- I do rate accordingly.
Thanks for your help...
Novocaine is a controlled substance. If any non-prescription product contained it, the product would be pulled off the marked faster than you can say "$1,000,000 fine".
Formaldehyde is extremely irritating. You would know if it was in your soap.

THere is a trend out there I guess its spelled emo. Anyways my son has been talking about it for two years but never really acted on it. Two days ago he started dressing im all black and yesterday he puts on eyeliner. I love my son very much, he has always MARCHED TO HIS OWN DRUM AND IVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED HIM. HE IS MOSTLY ANTISOCIAL AND LOVES MUSIC AND THE COMPUTER...HIS NEW FOUND LOVE IS THE CURE. I JUST WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BEING EMO. NOT TO DOWN HIM BUT TO SUPPORT HIM.....PLEASE HELP
Emo is just a harmless fad. Not all emo people cut their wrists or are antisocial, and it's not dangerous. Emo originally stood for emotional rock/pop music, but that is irrelevant now, and emo people are rarely more sensitive/emotional than normal. You'll like:

hello my name is marialuisa, about six months ago my husband and I were having some problems i tought he was cheating on me so i freaked out and decided to do the same thing...Thing that i'm not very proud of.
A month and a half later i found out that i was pregnant, my last menstrual period was on july 1 2006, usually doctors say that my conception date was on the between 15 and 19 of july... but i didn't have sex in those dates.
I had sex after the 26 of july wich seems impossible to get pregnant, i dont understand, doctors keep changuing my due date, and the ultrasounds are very confusing.
My husband knows what is going on because i told him, as soon as all this hapened. He thinks is his baby at least he hopes...But im not sure.
How do i know if this baby is my husband's or this other man?
I'm not sure what i am going to do after i find out.
I told my husband that if this is not his baby i will go back to my country (ecuador-South America) because i dont want him taking somebody else responsabilities, i love my husband very much i dont want to leave him but i dont really know what to do...
How can i find out who is my baby's father????
Please i need and advice
It's possible to have a DNA test done, but I think those are $150-$500. Those show with almost 100% certainty if someone is related.
