<r><QUOTE author="cgmom;108464"><s> </e></QUOTE> Hi there,<br/> <br/> Just wanted to add my meager two cents to this conversation. Obviously you know that your daughter is a young woman on the verge of adulthood, and as others have stated, when she's...

Does he talk much about his mom? Just a thought, but he might be depressed and wondering when he'll see her again. I know that if my mom was out of the picture when I was 11, and I never heard from her, it would be one of the only things on my mind. I'd suggest asking him to talk to you or a...

Thanks for all the replies. My nephew is coming up on 9 months old, and he's lost a grand total of about a pound and a half. The problem is, he doesn't really seem to have gained all that much since birth. Also, I forgot to mention that my sister-in-law is a vegetarian, which I don't think is a...

My sister-in-law had a baby in May 2008, and in November, she found out she was pregnant again. She's still breastfeeding my nephew, but he's not gaining weight. In fact, he's losing weight. Her doctor told her it was okay to keep breastfeeding, though. I talked her into trying formula, but he...

I think that depends on the situation. I know I'd never just walk into my 17 year old's room without knocking first...same thing with my 15 year old twins. One of the twins keeps a journal in his dresser, and I think it's off limits for me to read, unless there's a real reason for me to be...

I think personal space is neato, and in our household, our boys get plenty of privacy....in their rooms. When it comes to being online, I don't think that kids need to have personal space. There are just too many weirdo's out there to run the risk, in my opinion. So we have three pc's, all side...

I try to discourage my kids from D/L ing music from any site but I-tunes, but teens will be teens. We've password protected the entire "My Documents" folder just in case. Even the boys don't know the password. It's our little way of staying on top of what they're doing online and of keeping the...

I hope she feels better soon.... I want to thank everyone for their input. The advice has been wonderful. I guess what it boils down to is this; I have to put my foot down. I've already talked to my husband, and told him that if he wants to have a "camp out" with the boys, he can pull the...

Ok, so I showed hubby all of the responses to this thread except for the one Trina posted because she hadn't posted it yet, and he got really upset. To be fair, he's having a hard time dealing with the fact that the boys are getting older. Our 16 year old drives and our 8 year old is getting too...

I think all of yours are too old to be coming to your bed in the middle of the night unless there is a special occasion to. lol....I think they've used up any special occasions that might arrise in the future. Seriously, I'm about to show my lovey dovey this thread so he can see what a mule...

I think this issue can be approached in a number of ways, but it all depends on whether or not your family practices religion. If so, you can explain that the soul leaves the body and goes to heaven. If not, you can talk about the fact that sometimes people get so sick that they die. Explain...

I have a question about a fight I'm having with my husband, and I'd like some advice and opinions please. We can't find any common ground on letting the kids sleep in our bed. I'm 100% against it because I think they're too old, but my husband always gives in, and we wind up with at least one...

I guess before I offer any advice, I'd like to know if you've had any type of discussion of a man to man nature with your son. My greatest concern is that he's having sex with his girlfriend. I'm sure that he has a grasp on reproductive function, but does he has any idea what the ramifications...
