This seems like a good idea to me. Put the pad on the bed and put some plastic over it. Personally I don't think I could wear diapers as an adult. I can't imagine how embarrassing and humiliating has to be for a 13 year old. Even if others don't know she's wearing a diaper she does know and...

Does the state offer out of zone transfers? Perhaps that would be something to look up for. Perhaps you can transfer to a better school? I know that one of our friends was supposed to go to this school who is notoriously bad and then because the school didn't fit the no child left behind act...

My daughter has been having a bit of trouble on math. Personally, I think the teacher's approach is all wrong. She has a much better grasp on the idea when my husband help her and explains to her. This has steadily kept on happening and it has me wondering about the teacher's approach on the...

Here's and idea. Go to parenting forums like this and read the problems that other people have confronted and discuss it. Try to reach an agreement and a middle ground. Try doing it with different topics and problems. Try to reach a middle ground of what you two would have done if the...

What bothers me about this show is the parents. :realmad: How in the world do you reach that point? My god! :speechrawrrrrr: Some of the kids are just spoiled brats and the parents just let them be just because they don't have the hearts to be 'mean'. Guess what? The rode to hell is paved...

I second this. I worked with a lot of parents and kids and this generation makes me afraid of the future.

I'm with <I>father of 6</I> on the subject of reading your children's private correspondence. It would royally piss me off if anyone read my emails (which are incredibly boring anyway) but it still is my personal email. IMHO, the first problem is the lesson you teach them. I can't later give...

I have no therapist qualifications. However, that sounds like bipolar disorder. Those drastic changes in personality are something that is common among bipolar people. Have him check by a specialist on that disorder. I don't mean to alarm you but you really need to check on that because it...

Let me give you an example. One of my friends had this hands 'loose hand' child who time outs do not work anymore. She was getting constant complaints about her child and his hands but nothing they tried was working out. One day we are at birthday party and there is an argument between the...

I had a weird habit about restaurants when my kids where this small. I avoided going with them, and if I did I usually took something(game, Nintendo, coloring book) to entertain them. They were more likely to be done before me and I hate the bathroom game. If you have to go, you have to go...

The other day my daughter was at a friends house and there was a pretty ugly argument between mother and the older daughter. The daughter called her mother a 'B*&amp;^%' and kept on going on how 'stupid' etc she was. Mom, turned around and walked off saying 'she couldn't talk to her when she...

I never know what to say when introducing myself... My name is Ann, I'm 40 and I have to girls one preteen and the other one hitting the teen years. We have buckle our seat belts and are ready for the teem years roller coaster.

Take note that all of what I write is IMHO. This I feel is best to be handle in a passive aggressive approach. First, tell her to stop talking bad about the girl, if she has done it at all. Also stop talking to him about leaving her. The more you insist the more he will defend her. Your...

This is my first post here, so do forgive me if I'm doing something wrong. I'm finding myself agreeing with him. You see when he goes to college you won't be there anymore to watch over him. Then because he finally gets to do this stuff, he'll go crazy. Which is something you don't want to...
