mom2adopted What are you waiting for??? Tell your parents, tell his parents, tell anyone and everyone who will listen. If you don't act now you will regret it and feel responsible when this poor excuse for a man, hurts your sister. Good luck to you, I hope you are not too...

I mean the full blown screaming, crying, I'm not going to do what you say or go where you say temper tantrum. I guess I didn't realize that a 7 year old boy would still be having temper tantrums. He is not an only child but he...

Dogs can be loveable, but they could be aggressive enough to hurt you or your family. If it indeed hurt you child, would you still keep the dog, kill it or would you give or sell it? I had a co-worker who has a pitbull that bit...

mom2adopted I have 2 dogs and 2 kids. I love my dogs, but if either of them bit either child, the dog would be gone. I would take it to a pound if I had to. As much as I love my dogs, I would never choose them over my children. My husband would probably want to find a way...

mom2adopted I have been having the same problem. I have been told (by other moms and her doctor) that it doesn't matter at this stage what she eats, as long as she eats when she is hungry. I was also told to put 1 new food on her plate at each meal. Say nothing, just put...

mom2adopted Try to redirect his interest. My 2 yr old is like that sometimes. I try to avoid spanking. Putting him in his bed is bad. He will see that as a timeout place and not a place to rest. I also find that if I ask Emma to help me with something, her behavior...

mom2adopted Good for you to stand up to her. I would have done the same thing. No one will yell at my kids, except me!! People should learn to respect others. I would never yell at someone else's child. You sound like a good mom....kudos to you!!

mom2adopted Don't worry, my husband is like that too. If I say something before the holiday he will bring me flowers from the grocery store. $5.00 for sick looking flowers. He used to get me some from a flower shop, but when they closed, he started going to the grocery...
