    School uniforms: yay or nay?...

    Well the next best thing to that are dress codes and school assemblies for parents and students

    School uniforms: yay or nay?...

    My whole take is that school uniforms are mainly used for profiting purposes and a prestige on the school, and not so much used for discipline. Maybe these customs have changed now, maybe they haven't. But that's how I currently still see it. Children need to go through the trials and...

    Handling other kids...

    This here may or may not apply to you directly but this is what I see as common ground: I think it boils down to when taking care of children other than your own(even though I haven't) it may be difficult to because some right off the bat start off in a slight fear that if they say something...

    Foster parents(neighbors)...

    I think you're pretty safe Xero. Plus they're your children from your own blood unless you were joking here. The main reason the child was removed from the home was "insubordination" according to the report. it's possible their may be more to the story that I don't know of, but these social...

    Foster parents(neighbors)...

    Well, some bad news to report. Unfortunately the child has been temporarily removed from the home and place into a specialized group home called (cannot remember but it starts with a P) The social worker made the dumb decision earlier in the week to remove the girl from the home even though my...

    Foster parents(neighbors)...

    I do wish I could help further, but I have my own issues I have to deal with, (a separation from my wife that I want to go nice and smoothly ie) But seeing this is a tad depressing, cause I can understand what will happen if they lose her. I'm always seeing them unload groceries from the car...

    Foster parents(neighbors)...

    I figured this would be a good little place to post my concern that has been going on with one of my neighbors. Though we don't really socialize much (or at least in the beginning we didn't) there is plenty of tension that I can feel a block away. Not going to give out too much info as it is...

    Male daycare provider...

    I don't know, I just don't see this at all as sensible. And you are going to get negative feedback regardless. The slightest slip-up or misunderstand could lead to major problems. This is different from women's lib.... this is just something that doesn't seem feasible. As an alternative...

    Yoga...

    Agreed on the whole yoga thing relieving stress and anxiety it completely washes right off and feels like you had the massage of your life, but maybe it's different for others, who knows.

    Potty Panic!...

    I know this might be easier said than done. But how about installing a second bathroom somewhere? Or if you have a garage, some people will install a urinal which really doesn't take up much maintenance, time and money to get it done. Not sure if you're a home owner or not, but man, three kids...

    public restrooms - dads and daughters...

    With me, (I don't have a daughter) but if I did, I'd ask one of the women's employees or a lady (preferably a neighbor) I can trust to take her in. Otherwise wait until you get home or simply find a restroom where it can only be used by one person at a time. The mall has a large room of family...

    Welcome to the boards, I'm relatively new still but one of the admins will grant you access so you can post in other sections. I think they do this to prevent spam. Sorry about your wife, all the best to you and your kids.
