My parents are splitting up... I'm 18 so I am away for the school year,but I know my brother is living with my mom and I don't know what to do. Choosing will definitely crush the other parent.What is the best way to deal with a situation where you must choose what parent to live with in a divorce?
Set up rooms at both there houses... Tell your parents that you are not choosing sides and they shouldn't expect you to..What is the best way to deal with a situation where you must choose what parent to live with in a divorce?
At 18 you can split the time equally. Tell the both you play no favorites.
Go with the parent that can best support your life style; emotions apart... this could get nasty and it's NOT your fault. See your way and get OUT of there!

What is a good research question on parents relationships and their kids educational success?
I am doing a research project for my sociology honors course and I need to narrow down my research question options, but I don't not know what to focus on. I was thinking ';Do parents relationship patterns affect their child's success in education?'; But it seems too broad. I need to write a literature review on it and I cant find anything on it. Can anyone help? ThanksWhat is a good research question on parents relationships and their kids educational success?
There is alot of research about the parenting styles and its effect on child's success academically. I think research on parents being available to help their kids with school work and its correlation to their success would be good, and there should be alot of research out there about that.What is a good research question on parents relationships and their kids educational success?
Correlate hours spend per day with the kids to the kids' success in school. Then email me your paper when you're done!

How do adults deal with an alcoholic parent?
I am 23 years old and live 1,500 miles away from my mother, who is an alcoholic. She just spent Christmas with me and drank every night while she was with me. She would get verbally vicious and act very outlandish. The next morning she would not remember what she said or did. I am worried about her and do not know what to do. Thanks!How do adults deal with an alcoholic parent?
She doesn't get it yet because she's not in recovery. She is clueless to the extent of the problem, and even though she may be aware of some negative effects, she probably has convinced herself that drinking isn't much of a choice - it's the only thing that makes her feel good and normal, instead of like crap when she doesn't drink. She might feel like crap anyway, but at least she can escape it once in awhile with booze. Anyone who wants to take that away from her, in her mind, also wants her to feel bad. Alcoholics don't respond well to those they think want them to ';feel bad.'; It's all part of the delusion of addiction.
I'd say your best bet is a good intervention. You can get some good ideas if you watch the show ';Intervention'; on A%26amp;E.
Good luck. Untreated alcoholism is fatal.How do adults deal with an alcoholic parent?
Maybe tell her alcohol is no way to get rid of problems or an escape from the real world. Once the fuzziness is gone from your drunked state, the pain and issues of life always come back too. Take it from someone who knows, this is no way for either of you to live. I say either because your her family, do what's right even if the cost are high. She will forgive herself, if you forgive her.
good luck,

Parents: Were you or someone close to you have to repeat a grade twice as a child?
Do you think it helped? Do you think that it caused you or someone you know to really hate school? Were you (or someone close to you) able to be successful in school at some point? Did you (or someone close to you) graduate from high school? I've read from several places that the dropout rate is about 99% for those who have to repeat a grade twice. Every time a parent asks on Yahoo Answers if their child should repeat a grade then the general consensus is ';yes';. Even if its the second time. So what's your personal experience with this?Parents: Were you or someone close to you have to repeat a grade twice as a child?
I had to repeat Kindergarten twice. I started school at 5 years old and repeated Kindergarten at 6 years old. My mother held me back because I was born premature at 24 weeks and I was a slow learner. She thought I wouldn't be able to handle the stress of going to the next grade. My 6 year old brother had to go to preschool twice because he had a cancerous tumor in his brain at 4 years old and now will never be the same. He also had a broken leg because he was in a head on car crash in August 2004. He will now start Kindergarten this Fall if he passes all his tests. But his brain does not have the ability to control impulses in his brain anymore. He was actually restrained in a strait jacket when he was at school because he wouldn't sit down and his teachers wouldn't let him go to the bathroom. He also has a speech problem so he'll probably be made fun for his speech problem and his C shaped scar on the back of his head. I also have a speech problem and was in Special ED Math from 4th to 11th grade. I was called a retard by my classmates because I was in the math class for slow kids. I was also in phyiscal and occupational therapy as a little kid because I don't have fine motor skills. I hated school as a kid because no one ever wanted to be my friend and I'd get bullied by other kids all the time from elementrary to high school. I dressed in all black clothing from 14-16 years old and my own mother called me a freak.Parents: Were you or someone close to you have to repeat a grade twice as a child?
I chose to put my son in K twice even though the school wanted to move him up, because we moved halfway through his K year, my ex and I split up, my son hated his new school, couldn't make friends, and came home crying most days. So instead of moving him up to first grade I moved him to a different school (a charter school) and had him repeat kindergarten thinking it would be less stress on him. By the end of the year he was doing second grade work, but socially he was a lot happier. The next year instead of putting him in 1st grade they moved him to 2nd grade, so I guess technically he never went to 1st grade. He is going in to 4th grade and both academically and socially he is a lot better off than he was before.
Ha, my husband failed kindergarten too. What is that? To me, kindergarten is more about the social skills needed to learn in an environment with other kids. But, I digress.
I would have to say that holding a child back even once shows that things are not being dealt with properly. If there is evidence that a child is not ';up to par'; with their respective grade level, it should be dealt with throughout the school year rather than deciding at the end that it didn't work. Twice shows that no-one took the effort to actually work with the child on their level, teacher or parents.
someone close. From my observations it can be very detrimental. First I would recommend bringing the kid to get analyzed in case he/she needs a multi sensory education due to a mental disorder. Also the kid will miss out on his friends so it would help if the kid went to after school programs, boy/girl scouts, etc. Most of all self esteem for the kid plummets, so its important to make sure (as I mention before if he/she needs a different kind of education; dyslexia is the most common), o and don't forget to praise and give love as always.
I think it depends on the reason. My sister had to repeat the 5th grade. We were army brats and some schools teach things other schools don't. She wasn't ready for the next grade because she hadn't had the same previous grade the other children had.
So she needed to.
I don't think she regrets it.
My husband failed kindergarten lol. Maybe he couldn't fingerpaint or something... I don't know. But I knew people growing up who failed a grade of elementary school or middle school and in FL (where I lived in HS), kids have to take a standardized test in 10th grade called the FCAT (sort of like the ACT's...) and if they fail that one test, they have to repeat 10th grade. I saw how embarrassing and hurtful it was to my friends who had that happen to them. Some people are going to disagree with me on this, but... Not everyone is cut out for school. I think everyone should go to elementary, middle, and high school and that their parents should help them do well. But not everyone is cut out for college. I was the first person in my family to go to college immediately after high school-- everyone else had factory jobs. They were hard workers who made a good living. I think too many people stress their kids out by putting unnecessary pressure on them to fulfill the parents' dreams (not the kids') like, ';Why can't you get an A in history? You're never going to get into a good college with a C!'; or ';If you don't do well in high school, you're never going to get a good job!';, but they don't bother to help their kids study or keep them accountable for doing their homework.
Then there are the kids who have learning disabilities and sometimes not even their parents or teachers know and a lot of those kids are (wrongly) written off as being stupid or being slackers. And then think about this: If you're a guy in 8th grade and you're like 16 years old, you're driving, shaving, dating, and your 8th grade peers are still wearing kids size clothes. Or for girls: You're taller, heavier, and more mature looking than the other girls. You get unwanted attention from guys and to all the other girls, you're ';fat';. Kids are cruel and I think that has a big thing to do with it.

We have 5 inside Cats, and my parents want to bring in plants for the winter, what would be a good repellent?
It is fixing to get cold down here at nights and we have 4 very active kittens, and the Mama cat inside, we rally don't want them to chew on the plants, any suggestions for a good repellent that won't hurt the plants or hurt my babies?We have 5 inside Cats, and my parents want to bring in plants for the winter, what would be a good repellent?

Cats %26amp; plants, the eternal struggle. It might be worthwhile to try a Boundary Indoor/Outdoor Cat Repellent from Lambert Kay cat %26amp; kitten repellent. These are pretty effective in keeping cats %26amp; kittens away from problem areas. An alternative is spraying cayenne pepper on the leaves. This is a safe and effective repellent. Also, when disciplining, be consistent, that is the most important thing. Check out the rest of the training tips and read some of the notes on why cats are so attracted to grass.
Blessings,We have 5 inside Cats, and my parents want to bring in plants for the winter, what would be a good repellent?
check a pet store, they sell repellents for couches and things, im sure they work or plants too.
Ground chile pepper sprinkled on the plants should keep them off, this is what I do to my chritmas trees every year, and it works pretty well, with out chemicals.
Here is a list of plants that are harmful to cats, some can cause kidney failure and be fatal to cats, if you have any of these plants, I'd keep them in a room the cats are not allowed in.
http://www.pandecats.com/poison_plants.h鈥?/a>
I suggest putting the plants in one room and shutting the door on them so the furballs can't get to them. In all of my 40 some odd years of katz, this is the only thing that has ever worked 100% for me. Some repellants work on some, but not on others and some repellants just simply stink.
there is a citrus spray a repelant especially for cats they cant stand it. or you could just try putting fresh orange peel in your plant pots. make sure your kittens have lots of dangely things away from the plants to plat with.
if all else what worked for my cat with the clothes on the line, i would watch him and squirt him with a water gun/squirt bottle (not high pressure) it's not cruel and it only takes a couple of days till they learn
Offhand there's nothing that I know of that you can put on the plants. Try putting these plants in a spot where you know they can't get to them. You may have to spread the plants around the house tho, but it's better to be safe than sorry.
theres a product called shoo that should b available in the pet stores or u can always use garlic. that usually does the trick. do u know if any of these plants r poisonous if the cats should happen to start chewing on them. ur vet might know or u can call ur county agricultural dept.

What is the difficulty level for a parent of a college student to obtain academic records?
My parents want to verify my performance at school and I'm wondering if there is anyway that they'd be able to get ahold of my college transcipts (through calling the records office, etc.). Anyone know if this information is kept confidential until requested by the student or how does this work?
Thank you :)What is the difficulty level for a parent of a college student to obtain academic records?
In the US, no one is able to access the transcripts of a student without expressed written permission of that student, not even their parents. It's a regulation called FERPA.What is the difficulty level for a parent of a college student to obtain academic records?
Are you 18 yet?
If you are under 18, then they can access any and all of your student records. If you are over 18, they cannot access any records aside from directory information, which is the sort of information that is public record anyhow. This sort of information includes things like your local address, phone number, your major, what classes you are enrolled in (but not how you do).
There is an exception to this, if you over 18 and are claimed as a dependent of your parents on your and their tax forms. If you are independent, then they cannot request your records. Some schools do have policies that do not allow a records release in this case, but, if you are in this case then you are not protected by federal law.
You can, however, waive that right to privacy, and your parents may ask for you to do that. Which would allow them to look at any or your records, just like you could. As another answerer mentioned, it is due to FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
Of course they won't give your parents information from your college without your permission. You're an adult; they do not have a right to it.
You might be able to request it to give to your parents, but I doubt they would release the information to anyone else.
But aside from that, how old are you for goodness sake? Stand up for yourself and tell your parents they shouldn't expect to see that sort of information. They should be able to trust you're doing well, and if they don't, then there's something wrong with your relationship with them.
I had to sign a waiver that allowed my Mother to look at my records (her reasoning-I'm paying for it, I get to see your progress). Since you will be 18, without the waiver your parents are unable to even talk about your involvement with the school.
Pretty sure the only person that can obtain your college transcript is you! Some schools may be different but at my college they can only give transcripts to the student.
Yea, confidential. Secrets can be bad, ya know.

What are some convincing reasons why my parents should get me a dog?
The neighbors dog just had a litter of puppies and my parents need alot of reasoning if im going to get them to get me one. What are some good reasons?What are some convincing reasons why my parents should get me a dog?
you should already know if you really want a dogWhat are some convincing reasons why my parents should get me a dog?
you could tell them a dog is a great way to lower depression and its a reliable source in an emergency. Like if someone is trying to break in your house a dog could stop them and would warn you if someone did try. Also there kinda cheap. You could use human shampoo on there fur. use an old pillow for its bed. They can eat table scraps and they're fun to train. You can get daily exercise from them because when walking them your walking to. hoped this helped = ]
Your parents know that dogs are a huge responsibility, especially puppies. They know that kids generally get tired of them a month or two after they get them. They know dogs are expensive to own. They also know they'll be stuck with a dog they don't want once you move off to college.
If they don't want a dog, then my advice is to wait until you have your own place to live. In the meantime, you can volunteer at shelters and give those dogs loving that they don't otherwise get. You'll gain a wealth of knowledge as well.
Wanting a dog and being able to take care of a dog for it's entire life are two entirely different things. Your parents know (or suspect) that once the newness has worn off, the puppy will be their responsibility. There are vaccinations, spay/neuter procedures, food, etc. expenses that a child doesn't grasp when they WANT a puppy. It's not as simple as just picking one up unfortunately. If it was there would be many less homeless pets out there.
The best thing to do is convince your parents that you know what it costs to take care of a dog for 15+ years, convince them you will walk it every day, pick up it's poop, feed it, potty train it, teach it to sit, stay, come, down, and socialize it, and for more than the 3 months that it takes it to stop being so ';cute'; and more of a ';chore';.
If you can convince your parents that you know what you're asking for, you may have a shot. If not, it's better to let someone else give the puppy a home.
Keep in mind, your parents may have reasons of their OWN for not getting a dog now. The economy sucks, jobs are going down the tubes and a puppy is another mouth to feed. Do your parents rent or own their own house. If they rent, the landlord may not allow dogs.
Think about it ALL before continuing to beg.
1) You have a job and therefor the money to afford: the startup fees (about $400 for supplies and first vet check), the monthly care of a dog (about $150/month), any grooming that may be required ($100 or so a visit), any training that may be required, and any emergencies that may pop up (can be in excess of $1,000.)
Plus pay rent to help out with the $1500 or more they spend per month to keep the house, vehicles, food, etc.
2) You have the time to and are willing/able to: feed the dog, brush the dog, potty train the dog, teach the dog manners, walk the dog every day, deal with any behavior issues, schedule and go to vet/grooming/training appointments... need i go on?
That way they don't have to ';deal with'; anything when they come home from a long days work!
3) You plan on staying home for at least the first year of college because you KNOW you won't be able to take the dog with you.
I agree with happy2lu. Im a mom and I have rules. Everyone knows that the kids want the puppy but the mom ends up taking care of it. Respect their rules and when you grow up and have your own place, get your puppy, they arent fun all the time. They are WORK most of the time. And a 15 year commitment, atleast!!! Not to mention all the cost of food, vet care, including immunizations which, might I add, are VITAL!!!
I'm not sure how old you are, but tell them this would give you a chance to show some responsibility for something; tell them you will work extra hard with taking care of the puppy, you know it's a lot of responsibility and if you get an allowance, tell them you are willing to give part of that toward things that the puppy will need.
Unless you are paying for food/vet bills, feed it, exercise, socialize, train, have enough time to play with it, and know that it is a 10-15 year commitment then you shouldn't have one. If you can provide that then theres your reason.
convincing reasons? you are 18, do not live at home, and have a job. then you can have whatever kind of dog you want.
I can't think of any, if anything here's a good one for you not to, THEIR HOUSE THEIR RULES.
I cant help noticing bob (C) is your dad!!!%26gt;....
Because you're cute and your cuddly when you're happy and you'll throw a temper tantrum if you don't get one?
you should already know if you really want a dogWhat are some convincing reasons why my parents should get me a dog?
you could tell them a dog is a great way to lower depression and its a reliable source in an emergency. Like if someone is trying to break in your house a dog could stop them and would warn you if someone did try. Also there kinda cheap. You could use human shampoo on there fur. use an old pillow for its bed. They can eat table scraps and they're fun to train. You can get daily exercise from them because when walking them your walking to. hoped this helped = ]

What are good articles or sites for parent with depressed teens?
I was diagnosed with depression a couple months ago and I don't think my mom understands how real it is and keeps scolding me when I act sad, which in turn doesn't help me with my depression at all.What are good articles or sites for parent with depressed teens?
Sorry to hear you have depression, I know it's not the nicest thing in the world. I have depression myself, I'm not sure where you live, but in Australia we have an initiative called Beyond Blue (www.beyondblue.org.au) I found it to be a really helpful site and there is also a link for a Youth Depression initiative (ybblue). There is also a site called depression.com and it has all sorts of information about living with the condition and how medications work :)
The site is great to help better understand your depression and can help you find treatments that suit you best. There are forums where you can chat to people who are just like you and people who have recovered from depression. :)
Maybe by showing your mother this information can help her to understand the condition also. I know where you are coming from, and trust me, it does get better, it might take a while and a lot of work and perserverance, but it does get better.
Hope this helps, and good luck :)

Im making a report on why my parents should get me another dog. What should i include?
I have 1 10 month old Yorkie, 1 Cat, and 2 hamsters but I am intiminated to get another dog! I want to make a report on why My parents should get me another dog so i can convince them that i am ready!Im making a report on why my parents should get me another dog. What should i include?
i know how you feel i did the same thing
1.say what kind
2. offer to do things in return for them getting you one
3. say your dog needs a playmate or it will live a lonely depressed life.
4.say i need more friends
5. and finaly what i did was when cristmas came i only said i wanted a dog and my parents couldnt guess anything else that i would want so the decided i could get one.Im making a report on why my parents should get me another dog. What should i include?
Well as someone else said they are probably the ones paying for everything, so it's their decision.
That being said, I would think that the best way to convince them that you are ready is to take excellent care of the pets you have now, and then just talk to them and let them know that you would enjoy another dog. Maybe point out that dogs can play together in a way that people and dogs can't play together (the snarling and wrestling around), so everyone benefits from another dog.
Have you ever thought that maybe your parents can't afford to bring in another animal? That is twice the food, twice the vet bills, twice the amount of poop YOU will have to pick up. Also your other dog may not want to share you with another dog. There is no way you can convince your parents to get you a dog unless you can afford to pay for it yourself. That is what I had to do for my cat.
Tell them about how another pet can make you more responible.
t is probably best to get a dog this time as dog/***** combinations tend to get on better together than two bitches.
Two bitches can find it difficult to get on when the puppy reaches puberty and comes into season for the first time 鈥?not always, but sometimes 鈥?and it is worth considering a dog just to avoid this.
Male puppies can be a bit more boisterous and competitive than female puppies, but border terriers are not known for their behaviour problems so you should be okay. Good luck and I hope you enjoy him.

What school do you attend when your parents buy more than one home?
In my district, you attend the school according to your ';zoned'; area.
Right now, I am living in an area where I am going to attending High School A next year (I'm in middle school right now).
However, my parents are going to buy another home in another area, which is of a different school according to that ';zone';, but same district.
Which school do I attend? Do I choose?What school do you attend when your parents buy more than one home?
if you have a parent living in each house you can choose, but if not you'll probably have to switch schools mid-year if you school is strict about students living in that zone area

Is it common in Thai culture for parents to hit their children?
I am asking because I have a friend whose parents I suspect might be hitting her. She has bruises on her arms and she won't tell me where the came from. Her mother comes from Thailand so I wonder if they use this kind of discipline there in her home country. Thanks!Is it common in Thai culture for parents to hit their children?
Sorry about my grammar
I'm Thai people
in my country parents hit their children but just a little. So parents can't made bruises on their children.
relationship between parents and children in Thailand is really good. So I'm not sure that the bruises came from her mother.Is it common in Thai culture for parents to hit their children?
I'm a Asian here. and i don't think that, there are things like that. But you have to admit that the, Asian culture has the very good relationship between parents and the children rather than in European or American countries.
I don't think that is common in any Asian culture. They are very gentle people. There might be something else going on. Maybe an abusive boyfriend.

How do i break it to my parents that im not a christian?
I've been raised a good little christian kid, my brother is fixing to become a minister, my dad keeps wanting me to go to church, and my mom's fixing to get baptized. I don't dislike Christian ideas ( for the most part) but it just doesn't suit me. I'm leaning towards buddhism, but I don't know how to break it to my family. I know some families might not freak, but mine would make me do more stuff with the church and preach to me.How do i break it to my parents that im not a christian?
Caboose is right you should defiantly wait until you are able to live on your own. That way you won't have to worry about your parents kicking you out of the house.
Just stay low and if you want to you can secretly practice Buddhism (by studying about it through books, and the internet) if you want.
I had to go through something similar. (I was raised fundamentalist Christian and then decided to return to the faith that my mother left: Judaism. I bided my time by reading about Judaism until the day I was able to leave home and live on my own.)How do i break it to my parents that im not a christian?
If you don't enjoy it now, and if you are sure that is what they will do if you tell them, best to just suck it up and deal with what you have now instead of adding more to it
If you must, try:
';I'm sorry, I know this will disappoint you, but this is important to me. I no longer believe in the christian faith or wish to follow it. I sincerely respect your beliefs and only ask that you respect mine';.
Wait until you can live on your own. Then they can't do a thing to you.
If your family is of the kind of family that sit down together regularly in what some call a family counsel, then that would be the time to tell the family that you find yourself drifting away from Christianity and towards the principles of Buddhism.
They may express disappointment at your revelation, but you would be telling the truth and not engaging in deception, and they ought to be able to get over any disappointments they have and be thankful that you are following a spiritual path dictated by your conscience.

Are birth defects less occuring if the parents are of a different race?
I've noticed most children that have Down's Syndrome or other genetic disorder occur in children who's parents are of the same race. Is there any correlation?Are birth defects less occuring if the parents are of a different race?
Depends on what genes each of the parents carry with re: to possible defects or inheritable conditions/diseases.
Might be interesting to do some research on mixed-race people and birth defects.Are birth defects less occuring if the parents are of a different race?
I hope so because I am Hispanic and my Husband is Black!! : )
I've never heard of there being any correlation unless you are talking about a situation where the parents are similar genetically. This would be along the lines of inbreeding.
Down's Syndrome, in particular, is more common when the mother is older, particularly in the case of the first child, but when I say older, we're talking about 40 years old plus. It's also considered a higher risk pregnancy at that point.
I do happen to know quite a few mixed race families, and there are birth defects present as well as conditions like Lupus. Prenatal care is most important to having a healthy child. A mother should prepare her body to have children with proper nutrition, exercise, medical care, etc., before even becoming pregnant.
I am not so sure about that, my husband is Hispanic and I am white and our son was born with a genetic heart defect. So I guess it all depends on the genes of the parents.
Our first child was born healthy and fine, our second was born with the defect.

How to increasing the numbers of children who remain in the home with mentally ill parents?
The question i'm proposing is for a Parenting class i'm currently taking at a university.
At the moment, we're learning about Parenting and mental health: Parent's mental Health.
Parent's psychological factors (personality, emotionality, psycholgocal distress, and contexts of parenting) all influences parenting.
Parent's psychological characteristics, such as social-cognitive processes, affects parentiing.
For example:
Attributions - how we judge intent of behavior or causes of things.1. People who have mental health issue have very high tendency to interpret things as being negative in general. When children misbehave to this type of person, they think the kid has all the power, that they kid is doing it to them. People who accurately attribute, tends to use more positive discipline style
Coping styles (proactive vs. avoidance). 鈥?if proactive, parent deal with adversity as appose to ignore it.How to increasing the numbers of children who remain in the home with mentally ill parents?
Consider the relationship of body to mind and spirit.
What if the parents received a massage, a counseling session, and an in-home coach to help prepare healthful meals each week? And a way to make sure the parents get enough sleep? With bodily needs met and emotional needs being addressed, parents would grow in the direction of a more positive response.
Mentally ill people act out their own pain. So get them help for the pain, and they will heal and stop acting out. It's not that simple in practice, but it's still moving in the right direction.How to increasing the numbers of children who remain in the home with mentally ill parents?
I answered your other question and suggested community support.
I think your professor is over-generalizing saying ';this type of person'; for a person with a mental illness. I have a friend who has schizophrenia and used drugs when she was young, and probably her IQ is about 80, and she is a very nice woman. She lost her kids (but the father raised them, and she has had a TERRIFIC relationship with them all along, and takes her meds and all that. She was just too ditzy to keep them, and the father was very competent). Then I am bipolar, my IQ is probably about 140, and I didn't have any kids, but if I did, my parenting style would be WILDLY different than my friend's. And actually, I maybe would have been a very good mom, it's just that I was given the wrong meds for years %26amp; now I'm too old. When I'm with my grandkids (my husband's grandkids) I am very easy going and assume when they do something wrong, it's because they are young %26amp; stupid (I really mean, they haven't matured all that much yet, and someday they will get that it was wrong).
So I think there is a lot of over generalizing going on. You can't talk about ';the mentally ill'; as a homogeneous group. The only thing that ';the mentally ill'; have in common is that we all have some kind of brain disorder.
Another thing would help is addressing the grinding poverty one finds themselves in when they are disabled. And there really are a lot of people with serious mental illness that are too impaired to handle their money well. Also, for schizophrenia and major depression, on AVERAGE IQ tends to trend lower, and certainly educational achievement, since the disability interferes with learning %26amp; with the ability to even go to school. So then what money a person has, they may blow it worse than the rest of us do. And there are scams you can fall into, too.
Another one I can think of is transportation is a terrible thing for someone on SSI. You only get $600 a month on SSI, more if you have kids. But that isn't enough for a car. If you live in the city, great, unless you have to take a sick kid with an ear infection to the doctor and it is a 20 below zero day in Minneapolis. . . Or how about shlepping 12 bags of groceries home on the bus? If you're rural, there is absolutely NOTHING AT ALL. In my state, if you are disabled with a mental illness, there is help to get to your own medical appointments, but nothing for your kids, no grocery store or getting to the pharmacy help.
So here goes:
Community support (social worker, respite/day care, group home access and temp. fostering if a person relapses)
Financial counseling
Transportation assistance of some kind
What about incentives? For example, the health department in my city provides ';incentives'; to low-income parents who keep their kids up to date on their immunizations. They are little things, like a free bib, Tylenol for children, family photo, etc. ~ after so many immunizations they get a $25. gift card to a local grocery.
It doesn't sound like much, but it works %26amp; gets people comming back. Perhaps if there were incentives provided for taking part in community support programs, job skill programs, etc. parents would be more willing to take advantage of them.

She lost her kids (but the father raised them, and she has had a TERRIFIC relationship with them all along, and takes her meds and all that. She was just too ditzy to keep them, and the father was very competent). Then I am bipolar, my IQ is probably about 140, and I didn't have any kids, but if I did, my parenting style would be WILDLY different than my friend's. And actually, I maybe would have been a very good mom, it's just that I was given the wrong meds for years %26amp; now I'm too old. When I'm with my grandkids (my husband's grandkids) I am very easy going and assume when they do something wrong, it's because they are young %26amp; stupid (I really mean, they haven't matured all that much yet, and someday they will get that it was wrong).
So I think there is a lot of over generalizing going on. You can't talk about ';the mentally ill'; as a homogeneous group. The only thing that ';the mentally ill'; have in common is that we all have some kind of brain disorder.
Another thing would help is addressing the grinding poverty one finds themselves in when they are disabled. And there really are a lot of people with serious mental illness that are too impaired to handle their money well. Also, for schizophrenia and major depression, on AVERAGE IQ tends to trend lower, and certainly educational achievement, since the disability interferes with learning %26amp; with the ability to even go to school. So then what money a person has, they may blow it worse than the rest of us do. And there are scams you can fall into, too.
Another one I can think of is transportation is a terrible thing for someone on SSI. You only get $600 a month on SSI, more if you have kids. But that isn't enough for a car. If you live in the city, great, unless you have to take a sick kid with an ear infection to the doctor and it is a 20 below zero day in Minneapolis. . . Or how about shlepping 12 bags of groceries home on the bus? If you're rural, there is absolutely NOTHING AT ALL. In my state, if you are disabled with a mental illness, there is help to get to your own medical appointments, but nothing for your kids, no grocery store or getting to the pharmacy help.
So here goes:
Community support (social worker, respite/day care, group home access and temp. fostering if a person relapses)
Financial counseling
Transportation assistance of some kind
What about incentives? For example, the health department in my city provides ';incentives'; to low-income parents who keep their kids up to date on their immunizations. They are little things, like a free bib, Tylenol for children, family photo, etc. ~ after so many immunizations they get a $25. gift card to a local grocery.
It doesn't sound like much, but it works %26amp; gets people comming back. Perhaps if there were incentives provided for taking part in community support programs, job skill programs, etc. parents would be more willing to take advantage of them.
Consoling and psychiatric visits for the parents and child

How can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
Theres just things going on right now and I don't feel like I can face up to school is there a good way to manage to trick my parents? Please I'm not just lazy and want to skip it's just stuffs going on.How can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
i used to get plain biscuits and chew on them spit them on the floor then get milk and put it on the biscuits and water then shout to them that you've been sick.
but do it in the morning okHow can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
are you getting bullied if so dont avoid it tell someone speak to an adult at school or maybe your nan or someone you can trust or if you are not sure ring childline they will help dont let stuff get to you school is a vitally important part of your life try to enjoy it.
deal with wats goin dnt let it control yo life. STand up tall and fight it cz gal u strong and nothin can break u
Hey like seriously I read some of your other questions you pregnant at 15 right? Well skipping school and thinking of getting an abortion isn't what you should be doing. Talk to your parents!
Sweetie, you need to tell your parents what is happening with you. It's scary, that's true, but the more you put it off the harder it will be to own up to what's going on. It's better to do something and cope with the consequences then worry about what might happen.
Please, tell your parents that you need to talk, Amy.
They probably know that something is wrong anyway, you just need to tell them what.
If you can't, write it in a letter to them and see them after they have read it.
Don't be a coward. Deal with it. Face up to whatever's going on and handle it.
u cant, they knw u too well. u arent pregnant are u? liek amy in hollyoaks? pls get help if u are. go docs.
I would say you should sit down and talk to your parents about the whole lot of thing麓s going on. problems don麓t go away best fix the problem before the problem becomes a bigger problem
It's late, go to bed right now !
you cant put it off for ever being pregnant, just talk to your parents hun, they will scream cry and call you bad names, but they will calm down and support you whatever you decide
believe me hun us mothers dont like it when our daughters feel they cant talk to us
they will work it out by themselves anyway and it could be worse for you, so pluck up the courage and tell them
good luck
Eat a whole load of dried fruit and this will give you the runs. Hell, you could even show them the 'proof'.

How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
I have been trying to ask my parents for a cell phone but i don't know how also i have been trying to hint it but they don't get it. I need help. Do you have any suggestion on how to ask them or hint them professionally and perfectly?How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
when i was trying to convince my parents to get a cell phone i would always make sure say that whenever i got the chance i would say ';now see if i had a cell phone...'; and i made the argument that i needed it for school (since im in highschool) if there was a change of plans i would need a phone to keep them updated just try to make logical arguments and whatever u do don't use the ';all my friends have one!'; that does not work i hope my answer helps good luck!How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
for example in my country children have cell phones but just for receive calls
and also there is a service created for that situation in which the boy can receive o make phone calls just for their parents
really is very important that children and parents keep in contact all the day probably there would be a emergency
It all depends on age because once you become like 12+ you'll start doing things with your friends and stuff.
Just say you need it for emergencies.
just go up and ask them.

How would I go about emancipating my parents?
I need to get everything like filled out before I tell them. So cna someone tell me how from start to finish?
How would I go about emancipating my parents?
I agree with the poster above me. The emancipation process is long, costly, and difficult. If you're not married or joining the military, the emancipation process becomes more difficult. You're going to have to go to court and make sure you have the following 6 qualifications:
1) You're NOT, I repeat NOT living with your parents (this qualification alone has probably already put a halt on your plans). That doesn't mean you can't go live with a friend and say you're not living with your parents. Technically, you still are.
2) You must be at least 14 years old.
3) You're parents MUST approve of you becoming an emancipated minor.
4) You must have control of your finances. Meaning, you must have your own job, and make your own money AND already be paying for your own necessities (housing, food, clothing, etc)
5) Your source of income must be legal - no under the table jobs or drug deals or whatever. You'll be required to show documentation of a legal job that pays good enough money for you to support yourself
6) The emancipation must be in YOUR best intrest. Meaning if you're pissed at your parents because they won't let you stay out till 3 in the morning and want to be ';on your own';, well, the judge will deny your request. I'd imagine most minors who are emancipated have extenuating circumstances, such as their parents moved to a different country and the child stayed her to continue school and such.
I'd probably be easier to just until your 18. Trust me, that birthday will be coming around soon enough. And as soon as it does and you become wholly responsible for your self and your finances, you're going to wish you could go back.
Sorry if I sounded harsh, but it's the truth.How would I go about emancipating my parents?
First, you have to have good reason. Not liking their rules isn't one of them. Next, you have to have a way to support yourself. Emancipation is a long, costly procedure, and you will likely turn 18 before the emancipation goes through. You also have to get a lawyr.
Edit: I'm shocked a landlord would rent to a minor. Or are you on the lease? If not, you run the risk of being prosecuted for living there illegally.
I think you mean you want to become an emancipated minor. Here are some sites that might be useful.

Issue an emancipation proclamation to free your parents like Abraham Lincoln when he freed the slaves.

What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
?what would you do? would you ever do this? do you know anyone who did this with thier child? how to masturbate right?What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
That's a rather strange idea. Masturbating is a very private matter, and kids tend to find out about what is ';right'; for them without parental instruction when the time comes. It has never crossed my mind that I should teach my daughters to masturbate, and I would have cringed if my mom had ever tried to teach me.What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
That is so funny!!!
I would not ';teach'; them how to masturbate, but I would tell them that it is normal and ok to do in the privacy of their own room. And answer as best as I could any questions they may have about the topic. Oh yeah and tell them not to use food products HAHAHha (American Pie)
WHAT? Are you for serious?
Sorry that is just WRONG!
I mean is there really a right way and wrong way to 'do it'?
Discuss it with your children, let them know it's ';normal'; but to show or teach them how.....
I (along with MANY others I'm sure) figured it out on our own just fine!
I have never heard of parents doing this. The kids are quite capable of figuring it out all by themselves.
I don't think it's needed for the most part- it's fairly obviously how to do it..... and what appeals to the parent may not appeal to the child so the technique would be invalid. Giving them books to read is one thing, but any visual aids or actual ';instuction'; is child abuse/molestation.
Dude that's F**CKING DISGUSTING! Those parents should be shot.
What? ALL of them? Nobody invited me :o(((
Parents are teaching this? Explain that to me?
It would have to be like that scene in American pie where Eugene Levy is sharing the playboy with his son...
I'm disturbed by this thought.
Are you serious - WTF. Let em find out on their own.
i will be getting my kids a book to explain it to them, less embarrassing that way, I would rather have them know how to do it then not and end up injuring themselves.
Idiots........every one of your children are going to grow up clueless about sex, and not knowing where to turn for information.
why do i care? because it is something natural that everyone does, like i said, it is possible to hurt yourself if you do not have the correct information. a book will help them learn without being intrusive or causing embarrassment to the child.
eeeeew masturbation, i'm soooooo grossed out! grow up.
i've never heard of this, and it's slightly disturbing. i wouldn't mind answering questions or maybe having some kind of discussion, but teaching them? with like a demonstration (EWW!!!)? i like to think of myself as mature and reasonable about any subject, but i think teaching them or giving them pointers on it, is really strange and inappropriate. most kids seem to be able to figure it out on their own. and i don't see how they could harm themselves (like the first poster suggested). so talking about it is one thing, teaching them how is different.
eww wtf? how old are they? (the kids) thats ***** gross!! ewww i think they should find out on their own. ewww thats just wow
Eww that has to be verging on peodophilia?!!! Just give them a book or a vid if you have to! I learned it all on my own :)
I didn't know there was a wrong way to do it.
Kids will figure it out through trial and error - do more of what feels good, less of what doesn't. I'm sure it's not the same for everyone.
I will let my husband be the one to talk to my son about masturbating and if my daughter ever has questions on that subject she is free to talk to me. If it's not something either are comfortable with talking about, I can always get the a book on teen sexuality. I would never show or ';teach'; my kids the right way. I believe actually showing them is considered sexual abuse/assault. They can and most likely will figure that out on their own.
If my parents taught me how to masturbate right I would never have touched myself again.
what?? i have never heard about this EVER.
wanna talk about idiot? why do YOU care about your child masturbating? gross!!!

How did you prepare to become a parent?
I'm sure theres no exact preparation but just how did you learn stuff like about babies, toddlers etc? Was it hard with the first kid and did it get easier?How did you prepare to become a parent?
first, get married
second, enjoy being married for a FEW or more YEARS
third, save a MINIMUM of $5,000 just for the baby
fourth, talk about it with your husband (or ';life partner';) and plan out the next few years
then, read books, take parenting classes, talk to family/friends who have kids.How did you prepare to become a parent?
Knowledge is the best preparation. Reading books, looking up info on the internet and talking with other parents. Remember instincts are the best thing to listen too though. Having your first baby entails every emotion know to mankind!!!! As baby grows so do you as a parent.
you can get the diapers and wipes... fill the closet with outfits...pick a crib and carseat... pick the perfect name...read all the books in the world yet mentally emotionally and physically you will never be ready. as a mother we must act through pure primal instinct. some days are great and smooth running yet the next your praying you can take a shower. always trust your gut and instinct as a mother. you will know your child better than anyone elese. whats right for your child may not be for other kids and thats ok. as long as s/he is happy and healthy. sometimes the second is easier sometimes not since we all have our own personalities.
its always hard on ur first kid. YOu will make lots of mistakes. and do lots of thing you shouldnt do but after your second kid you learn from the first. even if you read books. it still doesnt matter just do what you wnat.
there is no preparation, we just do as best as we can and try not to commit our parents errors, each child is different so their cant be any guidlinejabbawockeez mask

you can get the diapers and wipes... fill the closet with outfits...pick a crib and carseat... pick the perfect name...read all the books in the world yet mentally emotionally and physically you will never be ready. as a mother we must act through pure primal instinct. some days are great and smooth running yet the next your praying you can take a shower. always trust your gut and instinct as a mother. you will know your child better than anyone elese. whats right for your child may not be for other kids and thats ok. as long as s/he is happy and healthy. sometimes the second is easier sometimes not since we all have our own personalities.
its always hard on ur first kid. YOu will make lots of mistakes. and do lots of thing you shouldnt do but after your second kid you learn from the first. even if you read books. it still doesnt matter just do what you wnat.
there is no preparation, we just do as best as we can and try not to commit our parents errors, each child is different so their cant be any guidline

How can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
Theres just things going on right now and I don't feel like I can face up to school is there a good way to manage to trick my parents? Please I'm not just lazy and want to skip it's just stuffs going on.How can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
i used to get plain biscuits and chew on them spit them on the floor then get milk and put it on the biscuits and water then shout to them that you've been sick.
but do it in the morning okHow can I manage to trick my parents to stay off ill for a while?
are you getting bullied if so dont avoid it tell someone speak to an adult at school or maybe your nan or someone you can trust or if you are not sure ring childline they will help dont let stuff get to you school is a vitally important part of your life try to enjoy it.
deal with wats goin dnt let it control yo life. STand up tall and fight it cz gal u strong and nothin can break u
Hey like seriously I read some of your other questions you pregnant at 15 right? Well skipping school and thinking of getting an abortion isn't what you should be doing. Talk to your parents!
Sweetie, you need to tell your parents what is happening with you. It's scary, that's true, but the more you put it off the harder it will be to own up to what's going on. It's better to do something and cope with the consequences then worry about what might happen.
Please, tell your parents that you need to talk, Amy.
They probably know that something is wrong anyway, you just need to tell them what.
If you can't, write it in a letter to them and see them after they have read it.
Don't be a coward. Deal with it. Face up to whatever's going on and handle it.
u cant, they knw u too well. u arent pregnant are u? liek amy in hollyoaks? pls get help if u are. go docs.
I would say you should sit down and talk to your parents about the whole lot of thing麓s going on. problems don麓t go away best fix the problem before the problem becomes a bigger problem
It's late, go to bed right now !
you cant put it off for ever being pregnant, just talk to your parents hun, they will scream cry and call you bad names, but they will calm down and support you whatever you decide
believe me hun us mothers dont like it when our daughters feel they cant talk to us
they will work it out by themselves anyway and it could be worse for you, so pluck up the courage and tell them
good luck
Eat a whole load of dried fruit and this will give you the runs. Hell, you could even show them the 'proof'.

How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
I have been trying to ask my parents for a cell phone but i don't know how also i have been trying to hint it but they don't get it. I need help. Do you have any suggestion on how to ask them or hint them professionally and perfectly?How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
when i was trying to convince my parents to get a cell phone i would always make sure say that whenever i got the chance i would say ';now see if i had a cell phone...'; and i made the argument that i needed it for school (since im in highschool) if there was a change of plans i would need a phone to keep them updated just try to make logical arguments and whatever u do don't use the ';all my friends have one!'; that does not work i hope my answer helps good luck!How do i convince or ask my parents to get me a cell phone?
for example in my country children have cell phones but just for receive calls
and also there is a service created for that situation in which the boy can receive o make phone calls just for their parents
really is very important that children and parents keep in contact all the day probably there would be a emergency
It all depends on age because once you become like 12+ you'll start doing things with your friends and stuff.
Just say you need it for emergencies.
just go up and ask them.

How would I go about emancipating my parents?
I need to get everything like filled out before I tell them. So cna someone tell me how from start to finish?
How would I go about emancipating my parents?
I agree with the poster above me. The emancipation process is long, costly, and difficult. If you're not married or joining the military, the emancipation process becomes more difficult. You're going to have to go to court and make sure you have the following 6 qualifications:
1) You're NOT, I repeat NOT living with your parents (this qualification alone has probably already put a halt on your plans). That doesn't mean you can't go live with a friend and say you're not living with your parents. Technically, you still are.
2) You must be at least 14 years old.
3) You're parents MUST approve of you becoming an emancipated minor.
4) You must have control of your finances. Meaning, you must have your own job, and make your own money AND already be paying for your own necessities (housing, food, clothing, etc)
5) Your source of income must be legal - no under the table jobs or drug deals or whatever. You'll be required to show documentation of a legal job that pays good enough money for you to support yourself
6) The emancipation must be in YOUR best intrest. Meaning if you're pissed at your parents because they won't let you stay out till 3 in the morning and want to be ';on your own';, well, the judge will deny your request. I'd imagine most minors who are emancipated have extenuating circumstances, such as their parents moved to a different country and the child stayed her to continue school and such.
I'd probably be easier to just until your 18. Trust me, that birthday will be coming around soon enough. And as soon as it does and you become wholly responsible for your self and your finances, you're going to wish you could go back.
Sorry if I sounded harsh, but it's the truth.How would I go about emancipating my parents?
First, you have to have good reason. Not liking their rules isn't one of them. Next, you have to have a way to support yourself. Emancipation is a long, costly procedure, and you will likely turn 18 before the emancipation goes through. You also have to get a lawyr.
Edit: I'm shocked a landlord would rent to a minor. Or are you on the lease? If not, you run the risk of being prosecuted for living there illegally.
I think you mean you want to become an emancipated minor. Here are some sites that might be useful.

Issue an emancipation proclamation to free your parents like Abraham Lincoln when he freed the slaves.

What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
?what would you do? would you ever do this? do you know anyone who did this with thier child? how to masturbate right?What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
That's a rather strange idea. Masturbating is a very private matter, and kids tend to find out about what is ';right'; for them without parental instruction when the time comes. It has never crossed my mind that I should teach my daughters to masturbate, and I would have cringed if my mom had ever tried to teach me.What do you think about all the parents teaching thier children how to masturbate right?
That is so funny!!!
I would not ';teach'; them how to masturbate, but I would tell them that it is normal and ok to do in the privacy of their own room. And answer as best as I could any questions they may have about the topic. Oh yeah and tell them not to use food products HAHAHha (American Pie)
WHAT? Are you for serious?
Sorry that is just WRONG!
I mean is there really a right way and wrong way to 'do it'?
Discuss it with your children, let them know it's ';normal'; but to show or teach them how.....
I (along with MANY others I'm sure) figured it out on our own just fine!
I have never heard of parents doing this. The kids are quite capable of figuring it out all by themselves.
I don't think it's needed for the most part- it's fairly obviously how to do it..... and what appeals to the parent may not appeal to the child so the technique would be invalid. Giving them books to read is one thing, but any visual aids or actual ';instuction'; is child abuse/molestation.
Dude that's F**CKING DISGUSTING! Those parents should be shot.
What? ALL of them? Nobody invited me :o(((
Parents are teaching this? Explain that to me?
It would have to be like that scene in American pie where Eugene Levy is sharing the playboy with his son...
I'm disturbed by this thought.
Are you serious - WTF. Let em find out on their own.
i will be getting my kids a book to explain it to them, less embarrassing that way, I would rather have them know how to do it then not and end up injuring themselves.
Idiots........every one of your children are going to grow up clueless about sex, and not knowing where to turn for information.
why do i care? because it is something natural that everyone does, like i said, it is possible to hurt yourself if you do not have the correct information. a book will help them learn without being intrusive or causing embarrassment to the child.
eeeeew masturbation, i'm soooooo grossed out! grow up.
i've never heard of this, and it's slightly disturbing. i wouldn't mind answering questions or maybe having some kind of discussion, but teaching them? with like a demonstration (EWW!!!)? i like to think of myself as mature and reasonable about any subject, but i think teaching them or giving them pointers on it, is really strange and inappropriate. most kids seem to be able to figure it out on their own. and i don't see how they could harm themselves (like the first poster suggested). so talking about it is one thing, teaching them how is different.
eww wtf? how old are they? (the kids) thats ***** gross!! ewww i think they should find out on their own. ewww thats just wow
Eww that has to be verging on peodophilia?!!! Just give them a book or a vid if you have to! I learned it all on my own :)
I didn't know there was a wrong way to do it.
Kids will figure it out through trial and error - do more of what feels good, less of what doesn't. I'm sure it's not the same for everyone.
I will let my husband be the one to talk to my son about masturbating and if my daughter ever has questions on that subject she is free to talk to me. If it's not something either are comfortable with talking about, I can always get the a book on teen sexuality. I would never show or ';teach'; my kids the right way. I believe actually showing them is considered sexual abuse/assault. They can and most likely will figure that out on their own.
If my parents taught me how to masturbate right I would never have touched myself again.
what?? i have never heard about this EVER.
wanna talk about idiot? why do YOU care about your child masturbating? gross!!!
immature possibably child abuse
i cant see anyone bragging to there freinds about doing this

How did you prepare to become a parent?
I'm sure theres no exact preparation but just how did you learn stuff like about babies, toddlers etc? Was it hard with the first kid and did it get easier?How did you prepare to become a parent?
first, get married
second, enjoy being married for a FEW or more YEARS
third, save a MINIMUM of $5,000 just for the baby
fourth, talk about it with your husband (or ';life partner';) and plan out the next few years
then, read books, take parenting classes, talk to family/friends who have kids.How did you prepare to become a parent?
Knowledge is the best preparation. Reading books, looking up info on the internet and talking with other parents. Remember instincts are the best thing to listen too though. Having your first baby entails every emotion know to mankind!!!! As baby grows so do you as a parent.
you can get the diapers and wipes... fill the closet with outfits...pick a crib and carseat... pick the perfect name...read all the books in the world yet mentally emotionally and physically you will never be ready. as a mother we must act through pure primal instinct. some days are great and smooth running yet the next your praying you can take a shower. always trust your gut and instinct as a mother. you will know your child better than anyone elese. whats right for your child may not be for other kids and thats ok. as long as s/he is happy and healthy. sometimes the second is easier sometimes not since we all have our own personalities.
its always hard on ur first kid. YOu will make lots of mistakes. and do lots of thing you shouldnt do but after your second kid you learn from the first. even if you read books. it still doesnt matter just do what you wnat.

How do you avoid arguments with your parents?
No matter what my mother and I talk about it always end up in an argument. I need to know what can I do to stop this confusion.How do you avoid arguments with your parents?
key word here is to listen to one another then when she's done talking you talk.. don't butt in when the other is still talking..
if she's talking hear her out and whatever you agree with then tell her but what you don't agree with let her know also but in an understanding way and reasons as to why yo don't see it her way..
the way you say things can really make a difference too.. talk to her as an adult and not a child so without attitude or smart remarks...
that will show her how mature you're being..
usually when arguements are esculated cause both are fighting to get their 2 cents in and voices are raised then there's no understanding there,...
good luckHow do you avoid arguments with your parents?
thank you and i hope it helps a little on how things go for next time.. wish you the best.. and remember that no matter what she is still your mom so love while you can =)
I live 2 hours away from them, and I only talk to them if I feel like talking to them, which is almost never. If you nearly always end up in an argument with any given person, that's a pretty clear sign that particular person should be cut out of your life. This is not rocket science.
I am in a situation a little similar to yours, I usualy just know when the argument is coming and try and avert it before it arizes...my mom has to be right all the time, so I dont bother wasting my breath.
wow me and my mom argue A LOT and all the time also. but yeah the best way i avoid is to just be the more maturer one and leave the room.
Stop talking with her!......Really try to avoid any interaction that could lead to an argument.
Take a step back - you two argue because you both care. If you don't want to argue - I agree with the first response - change the subject...
takes 2 to argue...I don't let them bait me...
it doesn't hurt that I live 1000 miles away either...its very therapeutic to make faces at the phone when they start ';advising';.
i just shut up and let her b*tch and make me cry and feel like sh*t. its easier than arguing back but it still sucks just as much.
dont argue with her.... wow that was easy, if she dosent agree just change the subject...

dont argue with her.... wow that was easy, if she dosent agree just change the subject...

Parents of vegan children: Do you include soy foods in your children's diet?
Please avoid citing poor quality or biased studies on soy foods, particularly if you do not have the training or knowledge to correctly analyse medical studies.Parents of vegan children: Do you include soy foods in your children's diet?
I do not have any children but when I do they will eat soy just like me. It will be whole soy (miso, tempeh) and eaten sparingly, not at every meal like some veggies.Parents of vegan children: Do you include soy foods in your children's diet?
I personally don't include any meat or dairy substitutes in my diet, as many of them are just as bad for you as their non-veg counterparts. You can live a much healthier life on veggies, fruit, and whole grains without all of that other stuff.
Of course, most diets contain a small amount of soy. I mean, seriously, what's wrong with Asians? Have they been suffering all these years because of their high soy intake? Doesn't seem like it...
Soy is a perfectly good addition to any diet. I can't see why anyone would object.
Yes, why do you ask?

When becoming a foster parent, are you only allowed to become a foster parent in your city?
When I was looking into becoming a foster parent, I wanted to try different agencies not just in my city but in neighboring ones as well, but I can't find anything anywhere that says yes I can foster children in another city or no I can't. Am I just allowed to become a foster parent in my city alone?When becoming a foster parent, are you only allowed to become a foster parent in your city?
There is no such thing as long distance foster homes. It is usually assumed that
people who foster children do so in their own town. That is probably why you can't find any information on this.

What can I do or for my parents to get ungrounded from my xbox?
I got grounded from my xbox because I downloaded a gamer picture and theme.
Preatty stupid right?. But I need help getting ungrounded. Thank You!.What can I do or for my parents to get ungrounded from my xbox?
Apologize like crazy and offer to pay them back.What can I do or for my parents to get ungrounded from my xbox?
If he's gay, he's gay.
If his parents can't accept and appreciate him the way he is then they won't be able to live together. If he apologises, then he's denying himself and he has to live through years of suppression.
If he feels that he could suppress his sexuality until he can find a way to not rely on his parents for substinence and that he could live comfortably by himself, then he should suppress his urges (I admit this is not the most integral way of doing things but then again he's only 16).
If he feels strongly about his sexuality (I applause for his efforts if he does so), then he should move out and find support from homeless organisations unless his mates are willing to support him until he can support himself.
Good Luck.
If you weren't allowed, it's your fault. The best way to get it back is to be nice to them and not extend your punishment past its current point.
say your sorry and that you wont do it again

What are the conflict between the single parents and the community?
Please help me out with detailed answers. And helpful websites would be great too! Thank you.What are the conflict between the single parents and the community?
Many single parents still find that others hold a certain stereotype of them. Characteristics of this single parent typically include:
Young
Female
Inexperienced
Clamouring for benefits
This stereotype is offensive to most single parents, and requires much energy to explode. Finding other single parents for support is a great way to gain the energy and motivation to fight this stereotype.
http://www.growingkids.co.uk/SingleParen鈥?/a>
Loss of Community Resources:
A way the loss or absence of a parent affects children is by lowering their community resources. This occurs in two ways, The first is primarily an income effect. Families with more income can afford to live in communities with better facilities, and since sigle-parenthood reduces income, it slo restricts families to areas where resources are low
Divorce or separation also reduce children鈥檚 connection鈥檚 to their community. Just as strong parent-child relationships provide children with social capital, so do strong community connections.
When parents and children live in a community for a long time they develop close ties that provide emotional support as well as information about the broader community. When families move or separate, these ties are often destroyed.

a strain on the community.

comes after earning a living and running a household and preparing

How am I going to ask my parents?
O.K. Well, I currently take acting but I know that I am going to quit after this year, it is too late at night and I have too much other homework; it's just too stressful. I always wanted to take ballroom dancing. But my parents may not approve of it, actually, they probably won't. They'll think I'm really strange. (I'm a girl, by the way.) It also may be too expensive, but I don't think that it is all that much more than acting. I just know that they won't let me, but despite that, how am I going to tell them that it is something I want to do? Without the whole thing turning into one big awkward mess?How am I going to ask my parents?
Sit down with them and talk to them like an adult don't through any fits and really listen to what they have to say they may have a genuine concern but let them know what it would mean to you.How am I going to ask my parents?
First of all, your parents will be disappointed that you're dropping something that they feel you've worked at to do well in. That's usually how parents all, but just try to get to them to understand that acting just isn't for you anymore.
Also, if you're still in high school and they're paying for your acting classes, they may not want to pay more for ball-room dancing (if it's too much more).
Thinking from a parent's standpoint, I would prefer that my child take acting over ball-room dancing (simply because I can't think of too much you could do with the latter), but they should be sensitive to your interests.
Just remember that it will take a bit of time to convince them that you should take the dancing. I doubt that they will like it right away, but just stay strong. Best wishes.
MY daughter did take dancing lessons, she did this for two years. I thought she was good at it too. Then one day she wanted to give it up and take up the violin. I wasn't sure I like her choice but I wasn't mine to make. She needs to do what makes her happy. She has been playing it for 5yrs now. She loves it. Let them know what will make you happy, they will support you.
I don't see why any parents wouldn't support their childrens decisions I support whaat my oldest daughter wants to do. I would just talk with them over dinner or when ever it is your family gets together to talk and tell them how you are feeling. I mean the worst they can say is no they won't send you to the dungeon for asking.

How can i hide gauges from my parents?
I really want to gauge my ears, to like an 8 or 6 gauge, but my parents won't allow it and took the ones that were in my ear, they were like a 12. Is there any way to hide my gauges from my parents?How can i hide gauges from my parents?
You can buy little plastic bits that are clear or flesh color tubing that will make it less noticeable. Your parents will see them no matter what but it will help. My brother had to buy them because he was not allowed to wear piercings to work.

i wasnt allowed to have gauges either, but when i persisted and jest kept getting them
my parents gave in and said as long as they were small
you can also tell your parents that small ones arent permant, i mean i leave mine out for a day and its already closing (i have 8mm)
Just do it. I have had a 7/16'; before and my parents NEVER noticed. Just don't freak out about them and act shifty. Take them out once when your around them if your THAT worried.
If your a girl, you can hide them under you hair, other wise you out of luck...
wear a mask that covers up your ears.

What is the legal age a child can stay home alone for 2 Weeks while parents are on holiday?
I want to go on holiday next year but my son doesn't want to go and is causing a fuss. I trust that he will be able to look after himself and keep the house safe but I am unsure if it would be legal to leave him alone for 2 weeks. He will be 16 and nearly 17 when I go on holiday.What is the legal age a child can stay home alone for 2 Weeks while parents are on holiday?
Hi,
I think at 16 he can be left at home alone as you can move out at 16.
Question really is, do you feel he is mature enough to be left at home...
Meaning can you trust him to have your home in one piece when you get home?!
Most teenagers at this age see an empty home as being the place to party! ... think booze, kids throwing up all over your house, randy teenagers using your bed to have sex, broken furniture, burnt carpets, scratched surfaces ect...
If you trust him then there no harm in getting a family member to check on him regularly, get him enough money, food in and give him numbers for emergencies ect.
Draw up house rules - what he is allowed and not allowed to do - ect can he have friends to stay over ect...
If he still in school /college or working can he be sure to get up in morning?
If you unsure see if he can stay with a family member for a week.
Failing that he is your son and so that means your rules as he not yet an adult and that would mean taking him on the holiday!
LxWhat is the legal age a child can stay home alone for 2 Weeks while parents are on holiday?
my parents went on holiday without me and i was 16 but i would say that under 16 and still at school would not be a good idea i was just going into the sixth form when they went and i had only just turned 16
my parents use togo away for weekends etc when i was 16 and sis was 13. i always thought 16 as you can apply to local authority for housing.
he's legally old enough but you need him to prove he's responsible enough. Let him cook for the family, do his own laundry etc them you wont be worried about him coping alone. Also consider if there's a friend or family member who can keep a non intrusive eye on him while you're gone.
look..at 16 you cn ahve your own house, have kids have a job etc
whats the fuss about leaving him for 2 weeks??
get a grip and let your child growup!
At this age I am sure it is legal to be left alone but whether it would be a good idea is more the question, if you can trust him not to throw wild parties you should leave him but when I was that age if me or my friends were left at home we had parties, my nephew at that age set fire to the garage with candles (an accident)
not 100% sure, but surely if you can leave home at 16 (which you deffinatly can in uk), you can legally be left at home alone.
my parent left me home alone this summer for one week while they were on holiday with my two sisters. I am 16, will be 17 at the end of the yr. I didn't have any house parties as i knew my parents would never trust me again if i did. I would say leaving your son home alone at 16 is fine
yeah that's legal, i think the age is 16, good luck xx

How do I get my boyfriend's parents to let me contact him again?
I recently got my boyfriend's parents telling us that I could not contact him anymore at all. We are speaking to each other secretly but it's not working out.

How can I get his parents to let us contact each other again?How do I get my boyfriend's parents to let me contact him again?
I think the first thing to do is evaluate why his parents don't want you together. Try to see things from their perspective, then maybe you can address the problem

How do I deal with overly religious parents?
Ok, I do not live with my parents anymore thankfully but when I visit for two weeks or so during college breaks, I feel kinda suffocated by how religious my parents are. I do not mind if they choose to be religious but it is definitely painful when they force you to take part in their religious ceremonies. I have tried to tell them politely of how Im not interested but whenever I do, it leads to a huge fight or argument. What should I do to survive these breaks?How do I deal with overly religious parents?
i totally agree with Stormy S. your living with them for 2 weeks, it's their house and their 'rules'.
go with the flow. if you want to avoid the argument just go with the flow. if you really don't to, then just pretend to do whatever it is they want you to do. How do I deal with overly religious parents?
If you are going to stay under your parent's roof for two weeks then you need to tolerate having to live under their rules as well. This is THEIR home not your's any longer and they have the right to expect anyone staying there to follow their rules. If you don't like it I suggest when you go ';home'; to visit that you stay in a motel/hotel or with someone else. They don't have to change their lifestyle in their home just because YOU visit. Grow up and get over yourself.
umm well afterall its only a couple weeks but i can relate i liv with my parents and i have to go to church everysun and wed nights and stuff but ya ur parents do sound over religious but anyways (i feel your pain) lol haha good luck in life!!!!!!!!! = P
pretend to have an excorcism during one of the ceromonys :D

Can someone please help me with information on retaining Power of Attorney for a terminally parent?
My mom is terminally ill. Unfortunately, she hasn't made any preparations for either healthcare or what to do after she's passed away. And there are 6 surviving children and unfortunately, only 2 of us are really responsible and don't want the burden of unexpected expenses to sneak up on us. We'd really like to try and get things in order as much as possible. My youngest brother and I will most likely be the ones financially responsible for any extra costs. Because of this, we'd really like to have say in her healthcare, as well as funeral arrangements.Can someone please help me with information on retaining Power of Attorney for a terminally parent?
Many physicians offices, hospitals, and nursing homes have the forms for the advance healthcare directive (living will). If you can't find one, you can download one from the Pennsylvania Medical Society website. http://www.pamedsoc.org/Template.cfm?Sec鈥?/a>
As regards to financial matters, I would suggest that Mom's attorney prepare a General Power of Attorney naming one of the responsible children to make financial decisions, sell real estate, authorize medical and surgical procedures, deal with stocks and bonds and United States Savings Bonds, etc. Other responders have said ';Just get a form from a stationery store and have her sign it.'; I disagree. An attorney should determine if Mom is competent to sign a General Power of Attorney. And remember, the attorney who prepares this document is working for Mom, and not for you. The power of attorney should be witnessed and acknowledged. Make several originals because ofteh some financial organizations insist on an original. The acknowledgment in the presence of a Notary Public is important because it makes the document recordable in the event it is necessary to sell real estate and use the POA as authorization to sign a deed. Most lawyers I know now include HIPAA authorization to enable the agent to speak with then physician on behalf of the principal to make medical decisions.
If Mom is not competent to sign a General Power of Attorney, as a last resort, it may be necessary to have her adjudicated an ';incapacitated person.';
If there is a possibility that Mom may go into a nursing home and quickly exhaust her assets, it would be advisable to ';pre-pay'; her funeral expenses. This is permitted under Medicaid regulations.Can someone please help me with information on retaining Power of Attorney for a terminally parent?
you can hire an attorney or do it yourself.go to office depot and get a power of attorney form. fill it out for finance and health list the power of attorneys names have your mon sign it giving power of attorney to you. have it notorized and filed with the clerk of court. give a copy to her bank you should be able to handle her financial affairs. check with the state in which you live for further info not all states are standard
You can get the software and print it up off your computer and I also believe that most office supply stores carry the forms.
Most of her assets should have been or need to be put into a Trust, so it doesn't have to be probated after she is gone. In the meantime, if you are looking for a POA, have your attorney draw one up (make it specific, not a general one) and have your mom sign it! Sorry about your mom!
You need to go talk to an attorney, is your mom alert and thinking clearly? If so you can get forms for a living will on line and help her complete it. Also, talk to her about an advance directive you can get the forms from her doctor, this will let the family know how she wants her end of life to go and the doctor will keep one for his record. An advance directive will discuss life support. As far as expenses you will need an attorney to probate the estate once she passes, and usually once someone dies the creditors don't usually pursue collection from the estate unless the estate has a lot of assets.

As regards to financial matters, I would suggest that Mom's attorney prepare a General Power of Attorney naming one of the responsible children to make financial decisions, sell real estate, authorize medical and surgical procedures, deal with stocks and bonds and United States Savings Bonds, etc. Other responders have said ';Just get a form from a stationery store and have her sign it.'; I disagree. An attorney should determine if Mom is competent to sign a General Power of Attorney. And remember, the attorney who prepares this document is working for Mom, and not for you. The power of attorney should be witnessed and acknowledged. Make several originals because ofteh some financial organizations insist on an original. The acknowledgment in the presence of a Notary Public is important because it makes the document recordable in the event it is necessary to sell real estate and use the POA as authorization to sign a deed. Most lawyers I know now include HIPAA authorization to enable the agent to speak with then physician on behalf of the principal to make medical decisions.
If Mom is not competent to sign a General Power of Attorney, as a last resort, it may be necessary to have her adjudicated an ';incapacitated person.';
If there is a possibility that Mom may go into a nursing home and quickly exhaust her assets, it would be advisable to ';pre-pay'; her funeral expenses. This is permitted under Medicaid regulations.Can someone please help me with information on retaining Power of Attorney for a terminally parent?
you can hire an attorney or do it yourself.go to office depot and get a power of attorney form. fill it out for finance and health list the power of attorneys names have your mon sign it giving power of attorney to you. have it notorized and filed with the clerk of court. give a copy to her bank you should be able to handle her financial affairs. check with the state in which you live for further info not all states are standard
You can get the software and print it up off your computer and I also believe that most office supply stores carry the forms.
Most of her assets should have been or need to be put into a Trust, so it doesn't have to be probated after she is gone. In the meantime, if you are looking for a POA, have your attorney draw one up (make it specific, not a general one) and have your mom sign it! Sorry about your mom!
You need to go talk to an attorney, is your mom alert and thinking clearly? If so you can get forms for a living will on line and help her complete it. Also, talk to her about an advance directive you can get the forms from her doctor, this will let the family know how she wants her end of life to go and the doctor will keep one for his record. An advance directive will discuss life support. As far as expenses you will need an attorney to probate the estate once she passes, and usually once someone dies the creditors don't usually pursue collection from the estate unless the estate has a lot of assets. House payments and such that are large will have to be paid That is why you will need an attorney to help you through the process.
