I had trouble with my first post and didn't think it posted properly so I tried to do another one.

It depends on the child. Memorization isn't always easy for some kids that learn best visually. You can teach them practical maths, such as measuring when cooking and building things. You can teach them about money and how to save and work out a small budget with their allowance. After they've...

Getting too involved might cause more conflict. You can't change the situation, but you can be there for husband and lend support. If your husband is planning on pursuing legal action, then leave it with your husband to handle. You wouldn't like it if your ex's wife/girlfriend interfered, either.

Parents raise and teach their kids what they have been taught and how they have been raised. It sounds like the girl's parents have been very candid about issues in facing society and she may be getting only one side of the topic. This would be a great teaching moment to explain to her a...

I check up on here, used to be everyday, then less frequent just due to glitching and it looks like features are not available, especially images and emojis. I'm not sure if it's just me, my location or what. This site seemed to have gone down for a while. Activity has been decreasing, but...

Sounds like a sugar mama. Even though your daughter is 18, and legally allowed to be with whomever (pending the laws where you are.), I would be concerned with how long your daughter has been seeing this woman. If this has been going on for some time she may have been underage when they met. I...

First, let's look at where this taboo to have kids past 35 comes from. People have an opinion and some like to press theirs onto others. Some will even invent reasons to justify they are right, even if they are actually wrong. So, don't listen to the gossip mill. It has no merit on your own...

Since there's been no replies, I hope all is well

I thought it was Millhouse. I have to see that episode again.

I don't understand why people are so offended or associate leash and harnesses for just animals. It's an effective safety tool that actually prevents a kid from running off or hiding somewhere. I had to use one after my kid ran off in a mall. I also learned that day that you can't always rely on...

I'm guessing this is for very small kids. You can just watch your kids, too, or get a harness and leash.

Always trust your instincts. This is serious. My alarm bells are going off reading this. First, let's start with your mom. It sounds as though she's never gotten therapy or seen a psychiatrist/psychologist regarding the sexual abuse she's endured and has been living her life just...

Playmobile was a favorite of mine. I wanted them all. Never got the house but I enjoyed seeing all the Playmobile set up in the display cases.

Hmm.. crying is the form of communication for babies. He may be tuning into his baby side when he knows a bottle is being prepped, even if your just going to the kitchen. Try encouraging him to use words and let him know that he's not a baby, anymore. Having big fits is him having a tantrum...

Never wanted to imply you didn't feed him. Sorry if it came off like that. I've been told by some that I have a "dry sense of humor" that not everyone gets. It's a growth spurt. I experienced it with my daughter. They can wake up with growing pains, hunger pangs, and discomfort in their pajamas...
