Tell us about yourself and your family

Please explain what you mean by organizing toys. Like stacking them, or placing them in bins according to size or according to color. You are very vague with your request. Or is this a system for rotating toys in and out of use?

There are parents who never lie to their kids? I find that hard to believe. I thinks it's harmless t otell a white lie. Its better than the snide remark, its none of your business. We do the Santa thing, the ten year old is having doubts about a round jolly fella delivering gifts. But the...

I would speak up in any situation in which a child was in danger, I think any person would. But to speak up when a parent is trying to reason with their child is something I do not do. Let them be the parent. Now... If that parent is yelling and screaming like a child, then I would say...

Hi, welcome aboard. I have 2 step kids, a 5 y/o girl and a now 10 y/o boy.

Transfusion? Not likley. Most adults can lose a pint and not have it affect them. How old and how big is the kiddo? The child may have a clotting disorder. Some of the signs are bleeding gums with brushing, unexplained brusing. Please have her checked out by her GP. The treatment at home...

Sounds like you have a Strong Willed Child, and you too may be strong willed. I have a 5 y/o who is the same way and I too am strong willed. The key is to let him think he is in charge. You will need to be very creative in order to get him to comply, also, you will need to be a little...

Hi, please tell us about you and your family

Here is my train of thought. I don't speed because I am afraid of getting a ticket. And my five year old is afraid of heights, so she will not go near a second floor railing. I don't have teens yet. But I don't feel they will try and cover their tracks d/t fear. They will cover their tracks...

Sounds like the little one has a bit of a traumatic birth, (suction cup). The Dr's are not giving answers b/c they may not know. What they should be doing is telling what its not. Next time ask them what is in their differential. A differential diagnosis are the things on their minds that this...

This was the best scare in the world. Told them Halloween was canceled due to lack of candy

Custody battles. Please get a family matters lawyer. Don't try and fight this legal battle by your self. And welcome back. Oh, by the way. My name is Kevin and i am a soon to be step father to a 5 y/o girl and a 9 y/o boy.

I feel your pain, only you have twice the pain. my 5 y/o is the same. I just want to let you know, you are not alone. We all have either gone through this or currently going through it. I was at a loss on how to deal with getting the kids to stop doing annoying things and to start them doing...
