Do I Overreact?
Posted Friday December 4 2015, 6:38 am
As a mother, it's important to me to have a good relationship with my children, but having quite a large family, I feel it's important to keep them under control to prevent absolute chaos from breaking out. I need to teach them good behaviour, good manners, and respect, not just to keep them under control, but to help them become the best people they can be.
So listen to these situations and tell me if you think I might have a bad tendency to overreact and take discipline too seriously. If my six year old son, Cade repeatedly asked me during tonight's Christmas parade if he could cross the street DURING the parade and I said no, but he bolted out in front of a float anyway, would it be an overreaction to yell at him and span...

I do not want to live
Posted Sunday June 7 2015, 7:56 pm
How do i do it. I cannot live on this earth anymore. My family hates me and I only have my friends and coaches to love. I got home today and I came home to drying my lacrosse gear and my dad told me I was a mistake. My mom is in drugs and I can't do this anymore. What is a less painful way to end this. I'm sorry

Hi,
I'd like to buy online some toys for my two little kids on www.snapdeal.com using simpleshoppinglink.com because their conditions are good for me since I live in Germany.
But I dunno if this company isn't a scam.
Has anybody tried this one?

My father's a psychopath
Posted Saturday May 2 2015, 12:16 pm
My sister and I, as siblings, we normally fight, then earlier I joked around with my sis by squeezing her cheeks then running away, then she chased after me and she hit me with her book. My mom caught us and she scolded us, telling us not to fight. Then my dad came in and suddenly shouted at us. It was a series of insults from bad to horrible. He called us stupid and shouted at us. He asked me if what i did was on purpose and I nervously replied yes, then he hit me with a wooden plank over and over again, and my sister. It's not the physical pain that really laid an impact, it was the fact that he was capable of doing such things caused by such a small reason. Im only 14, my sis is 10.
The statement that most struck me was t...

My parents are overacting (hear me out)

Here's the story
My bestfriend and I had this project in electronics, we spent four whole weeks graphing it, and buying all the parts needed in order to make it, and another 5 weeks assembling it. I promise, we did our best, but by the time we were going to pass it, one of the circuits broke down and the transformer burned down. So he bought a new one and he said he'll try to do it at his house. In the afternoon, he had this huge problem, the circuits of the new transformer was different from the one on our design, so there was no choice but to spend the night with him, and so it all began.
I asked my parents if I could spend the night at his house. They said no. So I cant d...

Am I a Terrible Mother
Posted Saturday April 4 2015, 2:36 am
Try to imagine a woman like this and tell me if you think she's an absolutely abysmal mother. She has a whole mess of children including eight sons and a daughter. She was prone to multiple births and was going to quit after she finally had a girl, but was surprised with triplet sons.
She loves all of her so, so very much that she can hardly stand it. She loves EACH of them so much that she would die for any one of them without thinking about it. She loves them equally, but she's having trouble understanding a particular emotion she's having.
Not all of the kids have the same father. Her third son, Luke had a father who was murdered 17 years ago. Because of this, Luke's mother has always been terribly protectiv...

Just wondering what most people have to say about this
Posted Friday January 23 2015, 11:06 pm
I'm not here to judge anyone by their response but how many parents believe in smacking their children on the butt with a belt or paddle when they're bad? Growing up I had this done to me and always wondered if it's right or not and where other people stand on this issue.

What should I do about potty training a girl who pees on the floor?
Posted Monday October 13 2014, 12:27 am
My older sister and her boyfriend have moved into my house so they can save move and get their own place. They have a little girl. She's 2 yr. and very troublesome. Lately, my bedroom started smelling like pee. I thought it was my 6 month dog who I have been trying to potty train with pee pads. I tied him outside in the mornings so he could use the bathroom but it still smells. I kept wondering when he's peeing since I have tied him all the time now. One morning I woke up to a watering sound. I look to find that it was my niece. She has been coming into my bedroom without a diaper and peeing on my carpet. I screamed for my sister. She yelled at me for overreacting while cleaning up the mess. It makes me think she knew about it the whole tim...

Shaving my legs
Posted Monday September 22 2014, 9:39 pm
Last year I asked my mom if I could shave my legs, but she said no because it "blends in with my skin". But now I'm in 8th grade, where I do gym and a sport which I wear shorts 24/7. I'm really insecure about it sometimes because they are so hairy. I don't understand why, expecially when I'm allowed to shave my arms( what's the big difference?). What should I do? Thanks!

We cant agree on a name!!
Posted Saturday September 20 2014, 4:54 pm
So I'm in a lesbian relationship. Me and my girlfriend have been talking about having children. She wants me to carry the child but wants it to be her egg which is totally acceptable. However, I really really hate the name she wants if its a boy. The name is Ta'Ziyah and I HATE it! But she said she had that name picked out since she was a teen. And she won't give it up. I've had the name Christopher picked out since I was 8 but she doesn't like that. So now I feel like I don't want to have a child with her and I have no say in the name because it won't be my egg. What can I do to make her change her mind and change that hideous name?

child support and custody
Posted Monday July 14 2014, 5:37 pm
My husband and i have been married 2 1/2 years now and he has a daughter from a previous relationship. Love her to death. Her mother has never been reasonable and lately has made things difficult. Well, firstly she decided to quit her job and live off just her child support and wants to get it increased. Can she legally do this since she willingly quit her job? My husband just got promoted to a manager and got a 10,000$ pay increase I am worried she will try and take all she can so she can remain unemployed. We only have his daughter 8 days a month. It is hard to keep her more since we both work 2-11 jobs. I did work a job that allowed me to have 3 days off and watch her for part of the day by myself while my husband worked and her mother s...

Intervening in childs relationships
Posted Tuesday May 20 2014, 5:30 pm
Hello, I'm hoping you can give me some advice in regard to my almost 9 year old daughter and her "best friends" tumultuous relationship that has me concerned. . Just recently my daughter came to me crying and very upset because her best friend was mean to her via instant messaging (I went and read the messages to make sure my daughter wasn't lying about what happened and verified that what she said was the truth). The best friend was absent from school so my daughter messaged and her said "Hi, why weren't you in school today" and her best friend replied with "none of your business". My daughter quickly left a reply saying "I hope you aren't mad at me. I'm sorry and please don't be mad at me". I asked ...
