i mean, i see people on here ALL the time complaining about how their significant other parents in a way that is unacceptable to them. well, you decided to have kids with them and the kids ARE half theirs….so why does your opinion matter more than theirs?
its like something so stupid as to argue over a movie your SO lets your kids watch. if they’re not being hurt, they’re fed, and they’re content then what is the big deal?
what im getting at is, if you chose to have kids with someone knowing the kids are half theirs….why does your opinion matter more?

Ok, I might be worrying a little early (my kids are 3 and 5 yrs old) but I wonder how to parent kids when they get older
Because I know eventually the next step will be my older (and maybe younger too) kid will ask to sleep over at another kid’s house & after that who knows and the parenting tactics might fail with me because all of a sudden your kids are grown up (or think they are) and you can’t just hug them when they get a booboo or try to offer them your parental advice because they might think they’re old enough to be above it.
Anyways how do you think your parenting will change when your kids get older, or now that they actually *are* older? I am afraid that someday my kids will be too old to put them in timeout as a punishment for misbehaving and too old for me to just hug them and tell them an “ouchy” will go away.
So what do you do when your kids get older as far as parenting? I know we can’t stop time, but how does your parenting change as far as rules and such?

My period is 10 days late & i have sore nipple & im pretty sure im pregnant. But 3 pregnancy tests said otherwise.
Has anybody been pregnant but didnt show up on a pregnancy test for a while after?
My periods are never late!

Why is it that the law requires people to take parenting classes before they become a foster parent, but..
When a couple is expecting a biological child, the law doesn’t require them to take any classes.
That sounds one-sided to me; shouldn’t all soon-to-be-parents be held to the same standards?
