Thanks, I have made a list of objectives, issues at the school and issues at home. I plan to go with an open mind and honestly not blame but try to move forward. I really do have issues with schools because they let me down so badly as a kid. Really, I had one or two good teachers, but the...

Not really sure how to proceed from here with that school.

"Wow, umm, you really dont want to be here do you..." LOL.. your thread was direct and to the point and I appreciate it. I know that I am overreacting and I do have issues with teachers, so I am probably putting this one in the pit with the rest. The bad grades are across the board. There is...

We don't celebrate that either,because we are not christians, but we do celebrate by getting a Spring Basket full of goodies. We kind of poke fun at the Easter Aspect!

THanks! I appreciate that. I don't think all of the problem is with my kid! I think some of it comes from complacent lazy teachers. I for one, think that teachers are overpaid and over rated! They whine and cry and complain and piss and moan and pretty much babysit at this school. I am...

my tween daughter 12 (13 next month) is getting Fs and Ds at school. She went from B & Cs to this! The principal said because she is too social. Well, she is grounded this weekend for the spring dance. But what else can I do to get her prioirities straight!:mad: Thanks so much!

I would never leave a child under the age of 11 or 12 alone for any amount of time. I just wouldn't and 6 or 7 is a very dangerous age to be left alone at all. Just me.

HappyParent. It sounds like your parents could have used some advice. I suggest you get help!

Yes, you have a right to correct behavior in your home. If it is unacceptable, you have every right. Maybe the kids doesn't get boundaries at his own home and will learn from your home.

It seems like daily she changes. I am freaking out, but trying to maintain some calm. I need to get more interests in my life, balance things out because if I don't she will become my sole focus and that is not good for either of us. it is so hard, i never believed it, but tweens are...

I let my tween until I saw what the other girls were doing to her. They were taking her picture and making her look ugly with apps. I took it down. I took mine down too. Facebook is aweful. I hope she doesn't make another one!

I don't know if it will. I only have one kid, so I am not speaking from a parent point of view. But I do have 8 brothers and sisters and torture seemed to be the norm. We were not the Waltons,we were the Waltons on Acid. It was insane and nobody was nice to anybody. As an adult of that, I...

I can't help but wonder if you are a bit worried and uptight that maybe you will have another baby soon that you are not ready for?? YOu are a good dad and take it seriously and might be that you don't want more responsibity right now and that is understandable! Just a thought.. but do have...

One is Plenty in many cases... I have 8 yes, EIGHT brothers and sisters and I am not close to any of them. ZERO... My 12 year old is an only kid and I joke that I am going to adopt a boy and she gets very indignant and not happy with that thought. One is plenty and wonderul and it is no...

Mine is done on Friday!

Dad, I am going to look for those audios, but I am reading "how to talk so kids listen, and how to listen so kids talk."... Love it so far. Kara, thank you so much for sharing that. And btw, your mom so did not mean it at all! ;-)

My Daughter is an only and I don't think she tattles but she has a sense of security with me and tells me an awful lot of stuff from school. I also noticed that I had to teach her not to tattle too much when she was in elementary school, she tended to do that. They (onlys) don't learn its...

I am so going. Tomorrow, leaving for Palm Springs!! It was hard for me as I NEVER go anywhere without my Daughter. I feel like she is missing out if I do. But it is time to start doing things and it will be good for both of us. Plus she gets extra time with her daddy! See you next week!;)

I always include my only daughter when it comes to our mini vacations, just weekends away. But I have plans to go by my self this weekend without her and I am feeling a bit guilty. Do you go without your kids? I think it might be a good idea to have some me time and adult time! I think...

Yes, they sure do Pasha! Love your name, reminds me of Dr. Zhivago! Anyway.. tonight was a MUCH better night... I have been mindful. I also have a good book to read about talking and listening to kids, can't wait to read it this weekend. Kids do not come with manuals, we are all only human...
