Why do my kids hate me?

soccermom @soccermom (3198) • United States 19 Mar 07

Or maybe the more appropriate title is why is God punishing me? We're trying to quit smoking, which is hard in itself. I had a hard time falling asleep last night and 1 hour after I did my 4 year old starts yelling, I don't even...

MissMo Ugh that sounds like an awful night! I'm sorry! If it makes you feel any better, my roommate wakes me up at least once every night and last night she began snoring at 2 AM. I've had little sleep this past weekend and am at work right now and exhausted....

sunshine4 @sunshine4 (8703) • United States 19 Mar 07

I just replied to a post about a 13 yr old who is pregnant. Then I remembereed something that happened in our town last year. Tell me what you think of this......A 13 yr old went to school and told all of her friends that she was...

MissMo That is sad. I think she must be seeking attention from people other than boys if she made up a story like that. She probably just wants attention in general, and from her parents and other adults as well. The fact that her parents didn't think it was a big...

Am I being too strict?

byfaithonly @byfaithonly (10698) • United States 5 Mar 07

This has been bugging me for 2 days now. Saturday evening my 15 year old son asked if he could spend the night at his girlfriend's house. I said No No No - he asked repeatedly and I gave the same answer. He could not understand...

MissMo Unless he had a really good reason to want to spend the night, I think you're right. When I was 15, I went out with a guy who lived an hour away, so sometimes he would spend the night at my house rather than sit on the subway by himself to go home late at...

That's a purse for Americans :) This is a question for all you ladies out there. What do you carry around with you all the time in your handbag/purse? and why? being a man, I usually face the world with nothing more than a wallet,...

Men Try on Partners Clothing!

jennybianca @jennybianca (12912) • Australia 14 Mar 07

Did you know that 47% of men try on their partners clothing? That is, according to the "Slimming & Health" magazine, issue Feb 2006. I don't think my husband has ever tried on my clothing, it wouldn't fit anyway. Can any men...

MissMo I've never heard of that, and like the person above, there's no way my boyfriend would even fit into my clothes! I would imagine that maybe some men have a kind of fantasy about being a woman themselves? It's hard to say, really. I like to wear my...

Cats instead of kids

JuliaPan @JuliaPan (564) • Canada 24 Feb 07

I've got a friend who is under 40 and she doesn't want to have kids. She prefers to "bring up" cats instead. Do you think it's natural for a woman?

MissMo I think this is perfectly normal. A lot of women don't want kids, and would prefer to have a pet to keep them company. These days, women have the right to chose what kind of life they lead, and there's nothing wrong with what she's chosen. Would you be...

MissMo I actually was close to hating cats until this summer, when I found a 5 week old kitten in a dumpster by my job. I had to rescue him, I brought him home, and quickly fell in love with him! He was so sweet and cute - he was like my baby for the summer....

Married Couples Sleeping In Seperate Beds/ Seperate Bedrooms

jeweledbluerose @jeweledbluerose (3061) • United States 13 Mar 07

A little while ago I watched a report on CNN about married couples whom sleep apart from each other meaning in seperate beds and in seperate bedrooms. A marriage therapist (I believe) stated that couples who sleep apart from each...

MissMo I think it would make sense that it would cause some distance. But to answer your original question, about if sleeping seperately can cause a couple to divorce or break up, I would assume that the couple was already having problems before they decided to sleep...

Open Question: What's a reasonable amount of "rent" to ask for?

metallo @metallo (265) • Italy 14 Mar 07

I now know that my freeloading nephew will continue to take advantage of my family's hospitality. If you missed my previous question, he's 22, jobless, has no desire to get a real job, has "plans" on going to school full time, is...

MissMo I think it depends on where you live, how much you pay for your house/food, etc. If you live in an area where he could easily get his own apartment for under $500, it doesn't make much sense to ask him to pay you that much, if that makes sense. I think you...

I hate you!

Angelika1972 @Angelika1972 (189) • United States 1 Mar 07

Has your child ever said this to you? Did you feel bad or did you just chalk it up as a "stage all kids go through"?

MissMo I don't have children, but I definitely said this to my parents when I was younger. I've probably even said it within the last year or two, which is embarassing to admit. I feel horribly about it now, and I know it did upset my parents, but at the same time I...

Raising kids to become Independent

sutan74 @sutan74 (1112) • Philippines 9 Mar 07

Our role as parents besides providing the basic needs of our family like food, clothing, shelter is to help our kids become independent by themselves. As early as now I am encouraging my 3 boys to do things for themselves like...

MissMo I agree with you as well. I don't have kids, but my parents raised me to be responsible and do things for myself, and at 19 I'm still not completely financially independant from my parents (they pay for my shcool and housing) but I'm a lot closer than most...
