Hi, I'm a new member. Im a single lesbian in Wa. state. Have a great job and the whole nine. I've wanted a child for as long as I can remember. I suppose I could find the answers I'm looking for by asking the sperm bank people, however this is slightly more discreet. I want to know if there is...

I don't understand why I'm having so much trouble locating answers to my questions online! My son's father recently purchased a booster seat for my son to use in his car. My son is 3 years old and about 32 pounds. His dad says his shoulders were higher than the straps on the old car seat, and...

So the phone rings at 12:15 AM; it's the sherrif's department, wondering why one of our cars seems to be left overnight at a boat launch. I explain that my 20 yo is supposed to be spending the weekend jet skiing and camping with friends -- but the car isn't in the campground, it's at the boat...

I've never dealt with this before, and have no idea where else to go to ask, so I'm asking here! A baby squirrel seems to be doing it's best to adopt my 18 year old as it's mommie. It came out last night and climbed onto the laptop (she'd taken it outside to watch a DVD in relative coolness) then...

A few days ago, I was having a conversation with my 17 yo daughter that I repeat periodically, reminding her that if she is ever in a situation where the driver (whether it is her or someone else) has been drinking or using drugs, I will gladly come and pick her up to get her home safely; she only...

Today (June 3), USA TODAY ran a full, center-page spread, titled: 'Keeping Teen Drivers Safe Begins at Home', and it was generally very good indeed.

Hi all, It's been a long time since I've posted. I just wanted to send a quick update for anyone who remembers me. My dd did eventually move in with us, I've been to court and have drastically reduced the amount of support I send to my ds. I am now able to make sure he will get some things he...

I'm just posting my thoughts, see what some other parents think about my situation. I'm the single father of my 19mo son. I'm currently finishing off a year of study in University (have finals coming up at end of month), so I'm now off student loans and need to settle into a working for the...

Sounds like your dd is doing awesomely for speech developement. My ds is 19mo, and nowhere near as verbose as your dd - nowhere near saying his own name.. ..he doesn't get the "me/you" thing yet. From what I've read, you haven't anything to worry about, but should be very proud of her for...

I'm just curious if anyone knows of a brand/model of umbrella stroller that has longer handles (to accomodate a taller person) than normal? Or even whether or not such an object exists? I currently have a more deluxe stroller with jumbo oversized tires (that don't turn - great for winter, and...

Hi I have just re-found this group. I used to subscribe to misc.kids hundreds of years ago when the internet had hardly just begun and my kids were just babies. Now, firstborn is almost 15 and life is pure hell. She's in trouble at school (truanting, being temporarily excluded, failing, low...
