Hi. Every now and then, I think of starting an in home daycare. Now that I actually own the home, the idea appeals a lot. I am running the numbers to see where that would put us. I want to have a low volume daycare. I want to have fun and cover the money I would lose from quiting my job minus what...

Fair For All, you have got me confused. Sometimes I wonder if you might be a feminist trying to ridicule the mens movement ? OTOH perhaps you have a cross to bear and are trying to sort things out in your head. Was your father (or a father figure) involved in bringing you up ?

Let me tell you how I'm going to get rid of societal sexism against boy children!!!! I am going to study the brains of all adult human heterosexual males and the physical factors that make them heterosexual. I am also going to find out which parts of their brains are responsible for: 1....

x-no-archive: yes hey, here's a stupid goddamn situation where i allowed myself to be mousetrapped. i was at a very small park that had only 1 water fountain with my 2 nephews. they wanted to have a drink, but there was an insolent-looking kid, about 10 or 11, who was hogging the fountain...

My son is almost 3 and he is now quite fond of scatological humor. For example, we ask him, what do you want for dinner, and he says, I want excrement for dinner, and then laughs like it is the funniest joke ever. I suppose that it is normal, but wanted to double check. *giggle* Does he...

Hi. Thanks to all of your excellent thoughts on daycare and after school care, I have chosen not to pursue this. In the final analysis, what I really want is to be home with MY kids. It is not fair to other people's kids to use them as a means to this end. But I wanted to say thanks to all of...

what do you do when your child disrespects you? My mom would slap us. A lot of people would probably agree with that, but I would like to come up with something else. I'd like a plan just in case, so I don't lose my cool and start yelling or something. As a kid, I had more respect for adults...

My friend baby-sits a two year old boy. This kid cried straight from day one. So his dad sat at the my friend's house for the whole of first week along with the boy to make sure he doesn't feel he's just leaving him there. Then gradually he used to leave him for an hour at a time and worked up from...
