I have been following this thread, what comes to my mind as I read is an old saying that I can't remember where I had heard it but I liked it: " It takes a whole neihborhood to raise a child" and I am grateful for the adults that I know have helped me to guide my daughter through things she...

Hi everyone. We need someone to take charge of the FAQ as soon as possible. Bri was doing a wonderful job, but seems to have bowed out for the last little while. Kate filled in as a stop gap measure, which I for one much appreciated, but Kate's back in school and time is short. Like Kate, I'm back...

I'm coming out of lurk-mode for a brief while. Mostly because I'm having some issues with my son. Before I proceed, I'll give a very brief history: 1) he's under the care of a psychiatrist for his meds 2) he's on meds (a cocktail really) 3) he's been in the hospital for certain behaviors that are...

Saw this on another newsgroup and thought it was so terribly sad. Since bullying has been mentioned here as something we worry about for our kids, I'd thought I'd re-post it here. Karen 'Suicide pact' girl's tragic letter Laura's parents say they hope her letter will help another child

Well, call me lazy, but I've only read some of the thread. Joelle, I think you're making sense. Bebe, I know you know, but Joelle's not on your ass, okay? She's not really even talking to or about you. Your experiences are totally in the picture, they count, and they've got something to offer,...

This is what you said in regards to why anybody who would try to protect their kids by consulting sex offender list was paranoid: "I can't imagine you, or I, going out with someone on the list, whether we consult it, or not. I think the list is meaningless because I've seen the types of people on...

I don't believe any of this. Either this is a troll, or you have SOOO many problems that a newsgroup is not the place for you to find help. Get thee to a therapist. Keep the thread going if you like as it is a good sounding board for me and others. Yea, which makes me think my first...

I have a job interview in the morning, and just (today) got a referral on another one. The morning's interview is for an office job in the dental school. The referral - the COOL one - is for a radio host position with one of the (two) local broadcast groups. At this point, I'd just about be...

Hiyas, First, thanks for the replies and help with my question. I've taken everything I've read (even some of what i considered somewhat nasty criticism) and have made some lists of what's real, what I'd like to be real, what I think my son feels is real and now I'm going to talk with him about...

I am at my wit's end. I have a 6yr old boy whose mother has Borderline personality disorder. When we divorced she got most of my money and retirement. I have no more money for lawyers. Evertime she imagines some slight she gets angry with me and she punishes my son. Either by treating horribly or...

Real men don't have kids, they enjoy spending money for weapons, hunting and watching nude male wrestling. So throw away the kids and buy yourself a new rifle and go hunting.

I want to tell you about somebody really wonderful who died today. She was my dearest friend's Mum. We all called her Muffin, and my kids called her Grandmuffin. I've known her since I was 13, and that's about 32 years. That's as long as I had my sister. She was always laughing. She could find...
