Do you regret being a single mom?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 12 Jun 07

Most women don't choose to be single parents, it just happens. Marriages and relationships end, and then you're stuck raising the kids by yourself. And, there's no easy way to prepare for it. Guys don't think about the...

tippy1124 I do feel that I could have provided better for my son financially had his father and I stayed together, but that's about it. I wonder sometimes how things would differ if we hadn't split, but I don't think he's being deprived of anything. He visits his father...

How do you prepare your child for preschool or kindergarten?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 11 Jun 07

I am concerned that I'm not doing enough to help my daughter prepare for kindergarten. It's been easier getting her ready for preschool since we got her a computer. The computer games have made all the difference in the world...

tippy1124 Well, I know I felt the same way when I was trying to prepare my son for kindergarten. I was always doing stuff with him to try to help, but then I realized one day that he wasn't picking anything up. He'd go through the alphabet perfectly one day and not...

Alcoholic husband

brendakaya @brendakaya (2332) • United States 11 Jun 07

Is there any right way to deal with an alcoholic husband? I have been married for almost 33 years to one, and no matter what I do, it's the wrong thing. I honestly don't feel like I love this man anymore, and I feel I would be...

tippy1124 When you find out, let me know please. I have the same problem except for the fact that I do love him very much. About 90% of the time, he's the most sensitive, romantic, loving man I've ever met. Then you have the binges. When he gets depressed, worried about...

tippy1124 The responses suggesting that you talk to your doctor are correct. I just wanted to let you know that I was also diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Disease a few years ago. I have one child, but I can't have anymore. Don't think that your depression is coming...

A psycho pre-pubescent alien invaded my son's body tonight!!!!

ktroth @ktroth (378) • United States 8 Feb 07

OMG--my 8-year-old went crazy on me tonight. I swear I have never met this kid in my life! He is normally so sweet and easy going. He's not perfect, by any means, but has never spoken to me the way he did tonight. I took away...

tippy1124 If he's never been disrespectful to you before, it kind of sounds to me like he may just be testing his "boundaries" with you. He saw the child in his class do it and he may have been curious as tho see what the reaction would be if he did it also.

kris2080 @kris2080 (157) • Philippines 5 Feb 07

Does it really affect your kids when a couple separates? Or it really depends how you explain t to your children why you are separating?

tippy1124 It really depends on how old the child(ren) is. My son's father and I separated when he was 2 years old, so I never saw any kind of behavioral or emotional change. Not to say that it doesn't affect him. He is 6 now and his father lives in Maryland and I in...

tippy1124 As a step-mom myself, I think I know how you're feeling. You said that she "took advantage" of him last time? How so? I'm assuming she was buying things that her mother dissaproved of. If that's the case, I would tell him to sit her down and talk to her...

Do you take your child to daycare if you have the day off?

apky12 @apky12 (769) • United States 5 Feb 07

My children aren't in daycare b/c I'm a SAHM but I know a lot of people who send their kids to daycare. A lot of times they still send their kids to daycare if they have the day off. It's a good time to get errands done and all...

tippy1124 Really I think it has more to do with what kind of daycare you're taking them to. My best friend does this on her days off and it's not because she wants the free time. The daycare they attend is a sort of pre-school type daycare. Since they started going...

tippy1124 I also tried bribing my son with candy, to no avail. We have a store in my town that sells nothing but things to aide in the raising of children and I had been there many times, so the next time I went in I asked the cashier if they had anything to aide in...

tippy1124 I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. My son is 6 and he's the exact same way. In fact, he's been that way since he started talking. I was really worried about it, so I took him to see the pediatrician. She said that sometimes small children...

tippy1124 I noticed that you said she has 5 children with him. Sometimes women are more apt to put up with emotional abuse when there are children involved. I know this from my own experience. Everything you said about her, was me. I know you don't want her to know...

tippy1124 One question first. Do you know what happened to cause these "feelings" that you're having? I've read a few of the other responses and I agree that it sounds like you're depressed. I had my own bout with depression and it eventually got so bad that I was...
