Hair can be the biggest pain. I have the opposite problem though. My daughters hair is crazy thick! Bailey has thick, curly hair. It was a disaster. But, you just learn what works for them I guess. I would also recommend a short bob type hairstyle! My niece has the same type hair as your...

Hi Mike! To answer that, I totally care about what my kids eat at school. My only child in elementary school is Alexis and I pack her a lunch to avoid from her eating junk. I mean, if they have a pizza day in school every month, sure I'll let her have pizza. But, my lunches for her are strictly...

It sounds like you're doing what you can do. I guarantee the minute she turns 18 she's out of there. He can't stop her then. It's her freedom. I find that when teens turn 18 they go rebellious for awhile. But, what Xero said is right.

I mean. I let my older two kids have facebook obviously. They've had it for awhile but they know their limits. To never post their address, phone number etc. From what Bailey tells me a lot of people have their number posted on their. I've never had a problem with it. But I did hear that...

It kind of does sound like it was just a joke.

EvilGidget - thats a hard stage. I've been through that once and I'm going to go through that 2 more times. There is always going to be people like that in your daughters life. It might be a girl or there might be boys. I agree what others have said about giving her freedom. But I think you also...

Great question. I like everyones ideas. I started my kids on allowance when they were 5 years old. It was 2 bucks a week. BUT, there was a catch. I had a chart. One for Bailey, one for Hunter and one for Alexis. It had some easy little things to do each day depending on the age group. It got...

Holy cow Jordy! That is some horrible drama. I hope that everything will work out for Aimee. (And for you!) That's quite a situation. I wish you the best of luck!

IAdad - thanks for your input! I appreciate it. I know that Hunter will be fine. He's a good kid. I know he will do well for himself. His father and I we're also very young when we had him. I guess that is the truth. I remember lots of happy times with my kids. I know this will be the better...

Hey everybody! You may have noticed I've been posting today! It's because I actually have free time on my hands! Thank goodness school is back. Alexis is at school. Hunter and Bailey are both in college and on their own now. Jace took Nick up to see his Grandma in Niagara Falls for a few days...

Haha IAdad it was kind of interestingly disgusting. I should tease Alexis tonight and tell her we're having bat soup. She would freak out. Nope I haven't tried sushi. I have been kind of curious about it though. My oldest son likes sushi so maybe I should just give it a try! One day when I...

I won't eat sushi or brie cheese. Yuck! That site is disgusting! I squealed like a little girl at the goat head! Alright, I would rather die than eat that goat head.

Oh the hitting stage. How I'm not excited for that one with the twins! Well Hunter and Bailey hit like crazy. Lexie didn't have people around the same age to hit so she hit Bailey, Hunter and us. Or when cousins came over. The thing that I have found to be really effective when they hit is to...

I basically agree with everyone else. I don't know where I stand with kids and cell phones. I think they are a good idea in a case of emergency. But I also think they are too young to have them before the age of 14. My daughter Alexis knows lots of kids who have cell phones. I guess it's pretty...

It looks like you've gotten some great advice. I don't think there is anything I can add. But I did want to say that I'm really sorry this is happening to you right now. It sounds like a tough situation. I hope it all works out in the end. I can't imagine. I feel bad for your girls too. Mommy is...

Hey there Walt! Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you'll get addicted fast like everyone else. Keira and Shane, two very nice names. :)

Yeah, it sounds like theirs definitely some OCD signs going on there. But like Xero said I also thought of autism too. I agree what everyone else has said, get him into a specialist sooner than later. Aw, I guess you just have to tend to his needs before you get him into an appointment. I think...

I definitely don't think you're being too strict. I would be also be cheesed off if I were you. Just because the parents don't care about where there child is doesn't mean you do. Too be honest, it sounds like these parents are a little dull. If they would have just called you I'm sure it would...

Oh my gosh. He's so adorable. It looks so cute. He's growing up so fast!

I would say you should just talk to her. Ask her if she's comfortable with your son or if it bothers her that he lives with you. It's not an uncommon thing by any means but I can imagine it would be overwhelming just when your life was starting to settle down. Just make sure to make your...
