Well, it depends what concerts, who with (friends etc.) and who it is
i was 13 when i first went to a concert without an adult.
and it was slipknot!
so i guess, if you're sat down with a friend, your parent's should be cool with it.
if they are worried about you, you can text them every so often. =)
-James.How old should a kid be before he can go to a rock concert without a parent?
17 or 18 at least. I just graduated school last year and the things I would have done if I would have went to a rock concert alone! I also know how everyone I know would have reacted. It also depends on how responsible your kid is.How old should a kid be before he can go to a rock concert without a parent?
I think 14, but it really depends how mature they are and how old they look. Like if there are a couple of 5 feet tall 14 year olds walking then there may be trouble.
Well im a 14 and went to iron maiden with my friends when i was 13
so i dont know i guess it depends on your parents
hope that helps
:)
I started going to concerts alone at 13 with my friend who was 11.

Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me? My son is obessed w online game?
I need help for this.Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me? My son is obessed w online game?
it is not Obsession it is called special interest. he peruses advanced knowledge in one area (for him, computer games). It is a main part of aspergers. It is normal. don't push him away from it or take it away from him because that is what he does to feel normal. It should change in about 2 years to something else unexpectedly. Like one day he'll wake up and he'll have this sudden interest change. As part of his aspergers he is going to want to own everything in his interest so be lucky that most computer games online are free. Usually he will only have one interest because of the advanced effort he puts into learning and ingaging in it. That is also normal for aspergers.
If it is a social based game where he interacts with other people that is the only way he will make social contact because it is his interest so he will have something in common with other gamers.Any parent of young adult with Asperger Syndrome faced the same problem as me? My son is obessed w online game?
i am not a parent of someone with asperger, but i have a good friend who has it (he is 19), and he too is very obsessed with video games.
it has actually made him a very rich source of knowledge for those who know him, because he has played soooooo many video games having to do with historical wars and international relations, the guy is a walking encyclopedia when it comes to history.
so my other friends and i actually really respect him for the knowledge he has gained.
i dont know if this really helps you, but i guess it gives you some relief that some good could come out of it.

Legal age for a child to decide which parent to live with?
is there a certain age a child can tell the courts he doesnt want to live with his mother. what could i do to get him to come live with us?Legal age for a child to decide which parent to live with?
Every state's standard is ';the best interest of the child.'; This means that the judge will always listen to the child's wishes, but the judge must also make an independent decision of which household is best for the child. As the child gets older, the judge tends to give the child's wishes more weight, but at no time is the child's wishes binding on the judge. This means the child never gets to ';choose'; which parent s/he lives with. For instance, if a 17 year old told the judge he wanted to live with his alcoholic drug-abusing father instead of his non-alcoholic, non-drug-using mother, the judge would listen politely and then award physical custody to the mother anyway.
The child's best interest is always the standard, no matter what the child wishes. However, when the two parents are roughly equally capable of caring for the child, then the child's wishes start weighing more in the decision. As the child gets older and can better understand what is involved, his/her wishes also start carrying more weight. The child never ';tells'; the court which parent s/he will live with.Legal age for a child to decide which parent to live with?
There is no age. A Judge may listen to and even rule on a child's interest but he is not required to by law. Children typically wan to live with the parent with fewest rules. Judges know this. A Judge rules on child's ';best interest';.
It's not so much a matter of telling the courts, if the child asks then the courts are obliged to consider it, no matter how old the child is. There is no legal age, matters in courts are resolved on a case by case basis.
It varies by state and you would need to consult with your lawyer to get the process moving.
I believe it is 14, but you should ask a youth advocate
its either 13 or 14 but they wont take his view into account only.makeup

Can someone who's 17 travel on a Europe tour with friends who are 18 without parent supervision?
I want to travel to Europe through an escorted tour program with my friends but I'm a couple months younger so I'll only be 17.Can someone who's 17 travel on a Europe tour with friends who are 18 without parent supervision?
It would depend on the tour group's policy. If your parents sign consent, then it looks like someone's gettin' a vacation!!Can someone who's 17 travel on a Europe tour with friends who are 18 without parent supervision?
you could but you won't be able to do much.
Possibly, it depends on the people in charge. Some people would be like 'oh hey turns 18 this many months later', while others will be strict and say no. I'm pretty sure you can travel abroad on your own as long as you have a passport.
If its through a school, more than likely they will want at least some permission from the parents, because they dont want to be liable for accidents and such. If this is just some random trip, then no they wont want parent supervision, unless its some really weird tour group.
Good luck! Where are you plannin to go?

Adult Parent does not speak the same language as her daughters, unusual?
My Mother speaks English but her Mother only spoke Polish. My Mother was born in America and spoke only English learned from her father who spoke good English. Her Mother never learned English and spoke Polish with her husband but never talked to her daughters much. The kids only knew a few words of Polish.
Have you ever heard of something like this before? It must be somewhat common in immigrant communities?Adult Parent does not speak the same language as her daughters, unusual?
I have heard of this before. Decades ago, it was very common for immigrant families to teach their children only English and withhold their original language from the children. Even going as far as to stop talking in their language whenever the children were nearby.
It's possible that some still do this today Which, I consider to be sad as there is nothing wrong with being bilingual and learning about the culture of your ancestors.Adult Parent does not speak the same language as her daughters, unusual?
My friend speaks English fluently, but her Mom speaks Mandarin fluently and doesn't know much English at all. Her Dad speaks better English, but still doesn't know much. She is learning Mandarin.
:-)
It was comparatively common, particularly in the previous generation. I've known many families where parents spoke only their native language, but the children spoke that language AND English. Certainly it's quite common among Hispanic families presently, and in the previous generation tended to be very common among immigrant families. Most of the families where this occurred tended to be eastern European, interestingly enough.
As it happens, I live next door to a Hispanic family; the parents speak very little English, but the two daughters speak English and Spanish. I speak a tiny bit of Spanish so I can communicate with the parents a little, but if I need to tell them something important (or vice versa), one of the daughters translates for us.
is very common in the imigrant comunity, but is up to you to teach her a few words, a lot of times they see themselves as outsiders and is harder for them to teach themselves the language,
i have an stepfather he is like a pest to us because he speaks well english he was born in here(united states) but he tells ppl he doesnt speaks english and refuses speaking it, and on the other hand my mom doesnot much english and he makes her to speak for him even if is she is wrong, and all of his kids speak english but he makes us , speak spanish only
Maybe not common exactly, but I have seen it before, and it's as weird and awkward as it sounds.
never heard of anything like that itz soo weired .how can a mother not talk to her children and not speak the same language as them ..odd
strange ????????????

Can you be 14 and work at your parent's restaurant?
Because I already do- I wash dishes and bus tables (sometimes on the last one). Is that okay? Its not like its a bar or something...its a family restaurant.
Just wondering!Can you be 14 and work at your parent's restaurant?
Yup! lol
We also have a italian family restaurant and i've worked there since i just turned 13 years old. Except i was the cashier, and the hostess. But it's the same. And ya, my dad pays me 20-40 bucks when i go. :DCan you be 14 and work at your parent's restaurant?
If it's a family restaurant, help yourself!
Yes , thats fine =]
sure, it's ok.
You can be ten and do things at your parents resturant. Just not legally. You could probably wait tables and they would just pay you under the table.
Sounds good to me.
I know in Texas you can legally begin working at 14, but usually only in grocery stores.
Ya, but you should probably get a social security number to make it mor official.
You can get working papers at age 14. I don't know if you need them to work at a family business, but I would guess that you do. But it isn't a problem to get them. Ask your guidance counselor for the form.
Good luck. You'll grow up to be a responsible adult!
Yes they can %26amp; they can't legally pay you. But they can give you a few dollars under the table %26amp; call it your allowance. You just have to work harder for your allowance than I ever did!!

One parent with the genotype of Rr and another with the genotype rr would have offspring of Phenotypes?
in a ratio of??
a. 3:1
b. 2:1
c. 1:1
d. all of one phenotypeOne parent with the genotype of Rr and another with the genotype rr would have offspring of Phenotypes?
Phenotypic Ratio = 1:1 (50/50)
Potential Combinations (Offspring) = Rr Rr rr rr
Explaination:
The Phenotype is the way in which the genotype expresses itself.
R and r can represent many things, such as, hair colour, attached or detached ear lobes, hair line, height, or to put it simply the ';appearance'; or expression of a gene.
The capital 'R' means that it is dominant and overpowers the small 'r' which is recessive.
For Example:
R = brown eyes
r = blue eyes
Father = Rr (brown eyes) sperm = 'R' or 'r'
Mother = rr (blue eyes) egg = 'r' or 'r'
Since the mother contributes half of her genetic material in her egg and the father contributes half of his genetic material in his sperm, there are four possible outcomes for offspring:
Rr Rr (brown eyes) rr rr (blue eyes)
Remember, 'R' (brown) is dominant and over powers the 'r' (blue), when an offspring is Rr he/she will only express the dominant trait. This case would result in a 1:1 (50/50) phenotypic ratio.
Look up:
- Punnet Square
- Gregor MendelOne parent with the genotype of Rr and another with the genotype rr would have offspring of Phenotypes?
C] 1:1
Phenotype refers to the physical appearance..hence is doent matter the allelic composition of the offspring.
Lets work out the cross to understand better:
Parents: Rr X rr
Gametes: R,r r, r
F1: Rr, Rr, rr, rr
As it cn be seen tht there are 2 ';Rr'; and 2 ';rr';... hence the ratio is 2:2 or 1:1
the person who has answered b4 me is wrong...
b
they would produce 2 of Rr and 2 of rr, so they would be 2:1

Injunctions - has anyone placed an injunction on a parent, stopping them harassing a teacher in a school?
I havent heard of that. However, our school has banned people from coming on school grounds. If they do, they get ticketed/arrested for trespassing. A few parents have been banned. The cops usually take it pretty serious when a schools bans someone. The trespass thing would probably be easier to setup and enforce than an injunction.makeup
What advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?
like if their son was depressed, or wouldn't communicate, and a parent went to their priest/Father and talked to him, what exactly would he tell the parents? thanksWhat advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?
I am not a priest, or Catholic but I am a parent and this is what I would tell you.
Become a friend to your son. Talk to him and go have a hamburger and see a movie together. Play games with him and take an interest in everything he does. Try and overlook his depression and non communication. But the goal here is to find out what is bothering him and become a person he can trust and talk to.
No matter how good the child there is always some amount of strife before the raising job is finished. Do the best you can and forgive yourself when you fall short.What advice would a priest give to a parent with a troubled son?
get some anti-depressants?

You might be disqualified from the program. They don't need to see the bank accounts to find unclaimed assets in savings. Clues to savings, such as bank accounts, stocks, and mutual funds will be found in your parents' tax return on the lines on the 1040 form that list interest, capital gains, and dividend income. If the amounts shown here ( and reported to the IRS on Form 1099-INT or 1099-DIV) are insignificant it won't raise a red flag, but if the amounts are several hundred or a few thousand dollars you can but there will be a request for more information. This is where they might find you out.
Factually if you do not report your parents savings on your FAFSA form and they claim you as a dependent....they you will be FLAGGED for a process called VERIFICATION, where your parents will not only have to complete additional paperwork........their actual tax return for that year will be REQUIRED by your FAO, your FAO will then use something called PROFESSIONAL JUDGMENT and if you were awarded scholarship or any other NEED-BASED monies from them.........you will have to repay them immediately.............you must remember that the FAFSA form is a GOVERNMENT form and it's the same GOVERNMENT that your parents file their tax return with................your parents dividends on their tax return reflects approx. 10% of their savings.........................
If you fill out the FAFSA with lies, that is considered fraud.

Which parent determines if there will be a multiple birth?
I know that identical twins result when one fertilized egg splits and that fraternal twins result when two separate eggs are fertilized (therefore 2 must be released). To me it is logical that the mother would at least determine if 2 eggs are released and if there is a possibility for fraternal twins but does anybody know about identical twins? My boyfriend is a twin (Fraternal) and twins are in my generation on my mom's side so I'm just trying to figure out our odds of having twins one day.Which parent determines if there will be a multiple birth?
Fraternal is the mother, i dont think identical is geneticWhich parent determines if there will be a multiple birth?
If twins run in either side, you have a chance of having twins. They generally go every other generation (so if your mom was a twin, you might have twins, but if your boyfriend's grandfather is a twin, you're probably safe).
Identical twins can also be caused by random mutation... ie, the egg just doesn't happen to split..
1 in 76 births is a twin. 1 in 76 twins is actually triplets. :)
Kimberlyn is right.
father.
Identical twins come from the father. Fraternal comes from the mother. Your chance are very good. Good luck!

At what age can a child (my son is 13) decide to not visit non-custodial parent?
My son has only seen his ';father'; 3 times since he was 18 months old.
My son has no interest in visiting the ex up in Ohio. In fact, it is causing him extreme stress.At what age can a child (my son is 13) decide to not visit non-custodial parent?
Idk but wow. :( Maybe his Dad would make other arrangements if he knewAt what age can a child (my son is 13) decide to not visit non-custodial parent?
Unfortunately, the answer is 18. If you allow your minor child to not go on court-ordered visitation, you can and will be held in contempt of court.
Your son is picking up on your stress. Try to relax and make this as painless as possible for your son. Perhaps his biological father is trying to make amends by coming back into his life. You need to concentrate on doing what is best for you child - and right now, that is making this necessary visit less stressful.
If his ';father'; doesn't have any interest in seeing him, ask him to put it in writing so you can't be held in contempt of court.
He's 13. He's old enough to know what he wants and what he doesn't. If there's no agreement in place, he doesn't need to do a thing. If there is an agreement in place, perhaps you can go with him and stay in a nearby hotel to make it more comfortable for him. There's probably nothing in the visitiation agreement that says he and the boy have to be alone without you. Go with him. The ex probably won't like it, but I wouldn't leave my child with someone I or he barely knows.
Does your ex even have any visitation rights? You didn't get very specific with the details of your situation. Perhaps if you elaborate a little but more, I can give a better answer.
I believe its 14 when they decide who they want to live with. My cousin who was living with her mother went with my uncle to court and said that she no longer wanted to live with her and that she prefered to live with her father. She was 14 a sophomore in high school. Her mother was pissed because she had to pay child support to my uncle...
The laws vary state to state. Usually at 12 the courts being to consider if the child wants to see the parent in question.
If there is no legal obligation for your son to interact with this man, don't force him. Encourage him to interact with good men that are around though, he does need examples.
If it is court ordered, which by the sounds of it, i dont think it is, he has to go until it is decided otherwise by a judge.
If it isn't, and he doesnt want to go, dont make him go. Hes old enough to decide that.
If the court order says the non-custodial parent has visitation rights, then he has to go.
When he's 18 then he can decide what he wants to do.

My son has no interest in visiting the ex up in Ohio. In fact, it is causing him extreme stress.At what age can a child (my son is 13) decide to not visit non-custodial parent?
Idk but wow. :( Maybe his Dad would make other arrangements if he knewAt what age can a child (my son is 13) decide to not visit non-custodial parent?
Unfortunately, the answer is 18. If you allow your minor child to not go on court-ordered visitation, you can and will be held in contempt of court.
Your son is picking up on your stress. Try to relax and make this as painless as possible for your son. Perhaps his biological father is trying to make amends by coming back into his life. You need to concentrate on doing what is best for you child - and right now, that is making this necessary visit less stressful.
If his ';father'; doesn't have any interest in seeing him, ask him to put it in writing so you can't be held in contempt of court.
He's 13. He's old enough to know what he wants and what he doesn't. If there's no agreement in place, he doesn't need to do a thing. If there is an agreement in place, perhaps you can go with him and stay in a nearby hotel to make it more comfortable for him. There's probably nothing in the visitiation agreement that says he and the boy have to be alone without you. Go with him. The ex probably won't like it, but I wouldn't leave my child with someone I or he barely knows.
Does your ex even have any visitation rights? You didn't get very specific with the details of your situation. Perhaps if you elaborate a little but more, I can give a better answer.
I believe its 14 when they decide who they want to live with. My cousin who was living with her mother went with my uncle to court and said that she no longer wanted to live with her and that she prefered to live with her father. She was 14 a sophomore in high school. Her mother was pissed because she had to pay child support to my uncle...

How do you deal with a non-custodial parent who is mentally and verbal to the children during visitation?
I have custody of our 4 children (14, 12, 8 and 5). Divorced due to physical, mental and verbal abuse. The court system stinks and they will not help me. Obviously the kids do not understand the magnitude of their father's controlling behavior. How do I protect my kids without getting myself in trouble with the court?How do you deal with a non-custodial parent who is mentally and verbal to the children during visitation?
what you do is go to the court system with your children, ask for supervised visits due to mental, and verbal abuse. If that don't work try to tell your kids not to take their father too serious, if the visitation is not through the court system you don't truly have to let your children see their father.How do you deal with a non-custodial parent who is mentally and verbal to the children during visitation?
you have to go to court and ask for supervised visits from a case worker that will keep your kids out of danger. this happened to a friend of mine and thats what she had to do.
tell the state if that doesnt work do what you have to do. to keep your children out of danger

Did you know that kids with single dad parent usually dont get into trouble as much compare to single mom?
I found this to be true. So why do women usually get custody of the children in divorce again....?Did you know that kids with single dad parent usually dont get into trouble as much compare to single mom?
Link please. There are more single mothers than single father so of course more will get into trouble.
Being a good parent knows no gender. If men received custody the majority of the time do you think it would be any different.
Kids get into trouble, no matter what parents do. It is part of growing up.Did you know that kids with single dad parent usually dont get into trouble as much compare to single mom?
YOU found this to be true?
How, exactly, did you conduct this study? How many people, selected how, exactly, did you look at?
Or is it you know, say 4 people for whom this applies? That's hardly sufficient, or sufficiently well-selected, to have any real meaning.
I think that custody should be determined by which would be the better parent. It's simply not true that that is ALWAYS the mother, OR the father, but depends on who those two people are.
Where did you hear this? I'm the child of a single mother and I've never gotten in any serious trouble and yet my brother gets into it all the time. A friend of mine with a single father is the same way, she never even got detention in high school and her younger brother was suspended twice before he was halfway through his first year, not to say that I don't freaking love that kid.
Parental capability is not determined by gender. A lot of the time it has to do with the kid and with the individual parent.
Not all children from single moms homes are going to get into trouble. many single moms love their children and do the best they can. many children grow up NORMAL happy. NOT all of them are crazed people out to destroy the world. many kids from 2 parents turn out bad also.
You know. I do not know why women get the kids more. it sucks this happens to decent hard working fathers who love their kids. it WRONG when it happens. but it does and sitting here asking this question over and over and pitting single moms against single dads is NOT helping. we need to find answer to help the kids get to the parent who will love and take care of them. if it's the dad let him get custody.
But blaming ALL single moms saying all the kids will turn out bad is NOT fair. and NOT true. the father of my child never wanted her. and I am doing the best I can. without any public help at all. so PLEASE understand I have NOT hurt any man I am NOT taking any money from YOU or any tax payer. so why do ALL single moms have to always defend herself?
Time to stop the blame game. NOT all single moms want to be single moms SOME fathers are NOT the best. remember that.
Fathers that want their kids should NOT have to fight years to see them. I know for a fact many fathers are kicked out of the kids life. and that is WRONG and should be STOPPED. it's hard for a father who is a wonderful father to be kicked out of his childrens life. but how can we stop this how can we help them HOW?
It is true according to prison statistics.
As to why... I believe it has to do with feminism painting men as abusers, criminals, and generally bad people. When the truth of it is that most men are very honorable, especially when it comes to taking care of their own children. Meanwhile, painting women as perpetual innocent victims - which is anything but true.
Do you have evidence to support your statement? As I would find this to be quite interesting if you did. Even if it is just based on personal experience of dealing with many people.
I would have thought that it would depend on parenting style more than what gender the parent is, the only exclusion being that male-male parent child and female-female parent child combinations are more likely to relate and have a better understanding of what their child is going through.
Feminism does not paint men as abusers, criminals etc. while insisting that all women are innocent etc, unless you were attempting to refer to radical feminism. It is our society that creates binary opposites and stereotypes... For example- strong man / weak woman, confident man / insecure woman, men are praised for premiscuity / woman are put down for doing the same. If you dislike the way in which men are stereotyped, then perhaps you should question our social structure rather than blame feminism. I class myself as a feminist, I don't like some of the sterotypes about women just as you don't about men.
You find it to be true, or are there stats to back it up? Or maybe the few single dads that you know (because, let's be real, I doubt that many of us know a BUNCH of single dads) happen to have good kids.
Forrester: With those views, I hope you're gay.
Yes I do. For some reason SOME young girls want to keep up with the guys in this manner, the tough girl. I don't know why but I do see it everyday.
Yes I knew that. Women get custody because it's obvious that without keeping women tied to children it wouldn't be long before women became obsolete and useless in society. So society gives them something to help keep them relevant. - That's all that is.
Deja Vu...didnt you already say this? Im not disagreeing with your statement (although you dont give any facts to back it up) but I am wondering...why are you so down on mothers?
my sister and I were raised by a single dad and we got into plenty of trouble... especially my sister! :)makeup

Can the Department of Homeland Security prevent a parent from taking his/her newborn child from the hospital?
The mother is 16 years old. Gave birth to more than one child. She lives in a house with her mother, step-father and siblings.Can the Department of Homeland Security prevent a parent from taking his/her newborn child from the hospital?
homeland security? only if the child is a threat to society. contagious is all i can think ofCan the Department of Homeland Security prevent a parent from taking his/her newborn child from the hospital?
Unless the child is in some trouble for anything they cannot take her children. The only way they would be able to take them is abuse, or if she were going to jail or something. But they have no right to take anyones children from the hospital just because she is 16...age has nothing to do with it...they are HER kids.
No, but CPS can if she was doing drugs or drinking while pregnant! Why would DHS take her children from her? That makes no sense...is she a terrorist? Are the children? That doesn't make sense to me. CPS can prevent a parent from taking his/her children from the hospital if the hospital staff fear for the children's lives and if the mother was doing drugs and drinking alcohol. They test the baby's blood.

How can i become famous without telling my parent?
You see i wanna be a singer like janet jackson but nobody but myself has heard me sing because im shy and a little insecure about my voice but at the same time i think its pretty good. and i don't want to have to show my parents i can sing because they might make fun of me of think its just another crazy idea i made up. i need adviceHow can i become famous without telling my parent?
You are not going to become famous without telling your parent. I have actually been in your situation somewhat, you need to not be embarassed of what they will think of this dream of yours even though you think they will make fun of you. I don't know how old you are but if is something you really want to pursue your parents will probably be a big part of it! If you want to be a singer though you really cant be shy, you have only sung in front of yourself and you are talking about singing in front of millions of ppl if you are famous...Maybe start posting videos on youtube of you singing, you dont even have to show your face if you dont want to and ppl on there will give you feedback so you can see if you really have a good voice. Good luck!How can i become famous without telling my parent?
well to be a singer you got to be less insecure about yourself and show it off to the world =) and view it to many many people. Im sure you have a good voice! you just need to gain some confidence!

I don't want her to worry about me. I usually overeat, so I've been eating less now. It's not working, though! What can I do?
(I already get enough exercise..)How do I diet when I have a parent cooking for me?
Alright, since you exercise enough, that's great because you are working up a healthy appetite. Instead of eating less, why not eat healthier? try whole grains, fruits, there are a bunch of healthy snacks that taste great. If you eat healthy, it's great for your body, and you usually don't have to worry about gaining weight.How do I diet when I have a parent cooking for me?
You can lose weight if you tried correct method. I tried many method, but could not lose weight. I found the best method that works very well for anyone. I lost my weight easy using this diet method. You need to have look correct info that works. I lost 18 pounds after 45 days with this diet method. I highly recommend you. You can find more info here http://bit.ly/shdvb1365

Do you need a parent to get your cartilage pierced?
when getting your cartilage pierced at a tattoo/piercing shop and your underage, can you bring any adult or does it have to be your parent? do you need proof; like a birth certifcate or something?Do you need a parent to get your cartilage pierced?
Your birth parents, or guardians have to be with you. The adult has to fill out the papers, and the person who is piercing you will ask them for i.d. It can only be a mother, or father or legal guardian.
I got mine done, when I was seven now I'm fifteen and still have it done. :]Do you need a parent to get your cartilage pierced?
Yes. If you are underage you need a parent for any type of body modification, including things as simple as piercing ears. It can't be a random adult. They will photo copy your license if you have one as well as your parents, then have them sign a waiver.
Don't hide anything from your parents, it's not worth it. And anywhere that's a respectable complex will ask you for some form of ID
You don't need a birth certificate. They will ask to look at your license. And sign a form.
You could do it yourself?
Thats what i did and mine turned out find (:

Legal question for a parent diagnosed with a mental disorder?
I am going through a divorce, and I found some documents of my ex being diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder and Sociopath. How well does this hold up in court for me to get 100% custody?Legal question for a parent diagnosed with a mental disorder?
My ex-husband was diagnosed the same. I got sole custody of our son. Don't focus too much on the diagnosis, make light of the behaviors that usually go along with those disorders.Legal question for a parent diagnosed with a mental disorder?
Be patient and wait to speak with your attorney. But I have questions for you, is he a risk to your children or has he ever been, do they enjoy the company of their father, has he ever harmed or put them in harm?
I would hope that your not wanting him around your children for your own selfish reasons.... That's why I asked.
If you feel your childrens safety and well being are at risk, because of past actions then I can understand, but you have been with him for quite some time, and just now discovered he has a mental illness.... so it leads to believe that he hasn't harmed the children, otherwise, a sane person would have left and sought divorce proceedings long ago.
Difficultly. He would have had to have shown, to you and the children, the innability to be a parent. So unless he has caused the children (or you) harm, it is unlikely that you will get full-custody that way. Good luck to you in this terrible and difficult time. Keep your kids involved and remind them that this divorce isn't their fault.
If done by a certified therapist, pretty damn well. It doesn't look to great that you were with him. You might want to get some independent coupling to show that your working on loss of your kids or a divorce or whatever. Nice sound testimony if you've got to go to court that your normal and sane and what not.
~I'm assuming he isn't a good parent? If he's been in the hospital at all, you'll most likely get custody. Get an attorney, he'll have your ex's attorney provide information from his doctor concerning his mental health and diagnosis's.
If your child is a pre-teen or a teenager, it might be up to the child to decide who he or she wants to live with.
Good luck and Merry Christmas~
What kind of loaded questions is that your asking?
';found some documents'; aw come on now don't say that you didn't even know about this whole psychological illness back when he allegedly ';went to those doctors'; whose names are on the ';oh I just found'; medical reports which by the way, are supposed to be CONFIDENTIAL.
Did you ever think that someone was going to ask ';hey how did she get those records anyway, she's gone through some possibly illegal methods to obtain them'; now hasn't she?
If your asking ';how well does this hold up in court'; for you to get 100% custody its because YOU DON'T HAVE IT YET! Could that be because maybe HE has the kids and your the one who has the NEED to try to take them away from him by using an illness against him?
Or MAYBE just maybe its the other way around could this be your illness your strugglingn with? Maybe.
Now if you had breast cancer or leukemia do you think that this illness would show that you are not a fit parent? I don't think so. It is not necessarily a ';disorder'; its actually an ';illness'; that with medication or treatment can be controlled.
I'd think twice about trying to throw stones at that glass house because what if its proved that both of you are UNFIT parents as a result of your shenanigans?
Then you know what happens? CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES ... well honey they get your kids!!!
If NOONE is fit to be a parent in a family being divorced, then neither parent gets the children so you be careful.
.......verryyyyy...careful!!!
You don't want those children being raised by some State official in a home full of abused children!
Are you really willing to take the risks involved (and there are many) to get into a long drawn out fight which is just going to affect the rest of your lives!
You know that you could end up regretting it because there will always be memories of the divorce whether it was REALLY BAD or just BAD or just totally F***ed up beyond belief.that you might be able to control right now at the end.
I just hope that you realize it took two people to make that marriage and two people to fail at it. You apparently both did your part very well cuz there ya go you ended up in divorce court. Don't do anything you might regret later on+ espciall to be ended up in the worst way, ';parentless';.

If you became really rich, how would you change as a parent?
If you became rich enough to never have to work again, and to always have enough to buy whatever you want - how would you change as a parent? Would you hire a nanny so you could enjoy the money? Would you still be a stay at home mum? Would you limit what your child could have, or give them free rein?If you became really rich, how would you change as a parent?
I can answer that!! I came into a rather large inheritance a few years ago that provides me with a substantial income each month so I was able to stop working all together. The funny thing is that I actually became quite stingy with the money, lol. My kids don't get things on a whim anymore, they have to earn everything they get. I am very careful about how I spend money so they don't think that money grows on trees. When I first began receiving money I bought a new car that would accommodate all of us and paid off all our bills. For the first few months if my kids wanted something, they got it. We began eating out all the time. My kids started to not take care of their things because they had this mentality that if it breaks, we just replace it. So, I nipped it in the bud and stopped buying them everything they want all the time. Now they have to earn their money and 'things'. We actually live more frugal than we did before, lol. The one thing that is different is that we do two things that lighten hubby and my work load at home so that we can spend more time with the kids. We have a gardener/lawn care guy and we also have someone who comes in once or twice a month to do the deep cleaning in the house. I keep it up otherwise, but it is nice to have someone come in and get the heavy stuff. Kind of like a reset button, lol. We have a clean house but you know how once a month or so you have to go through and not just wipe the tub out but scrub all the grout and the tub, scrub the floors not just mop them...
Anyway... I hadn't thought of a nanny though, lol... Just kidding-that is one thing I couldn't do, lol. :)If you became really rich, how would you change as a parent?
Life would become a lot less stressed and hectic. My husband would be able to work if he chose, but hopefully if he did, it would a lot less than 50-60 hours he currently puts in. There is NO chance I would ever hire a nanny, and it would hopefully not change the ';things' my children had, other than more time with Daddy and more time with a less-stressed Mommy.
We would also be able to move to the country and purchase acreage and lots of animals. Hopefully we could also afford to move both sets of grandparents onto our property.
say i won the lottery, i would chage as a parent because i would become one. we are just waiting until our lives and jobs settle in a little bit more before havign kids... if i already had them, i would still do it myself (i'm currently a part time nanny for a sahm with lots of cash, i would never want to be her) and yes i would strictly limit what they got because of it. i'm pretty careful with money as is, i don't think that would change just because we had more, there would just be more in savings, and more in school funds etc.
I'm a stay-at-home mommy at the moment, so nothing would change there. We do have a nanny that comes from 2:30-8:00 PM on weekdays, only because when my friend first passed away and we suddenly had three more child, it was chaos. I needed a little help,s o I got some! Of course now everyone loves her! Not sure how long she will be around though, I like to do things myself when possible. Although I wouldn't give my child anything and everything they wanted, of course there would be more to go around!
I would immediately quit my job and become a stay at home mom, no I would not hire a nanny. I would probably buy a house, nothing big and fancy. If I suddenly got a money I really dont think that it would change me or my husband much. If anything it will take a lot of stress away from us, but I would never take time away from my daughter and I would never give her free reign. She would still have chores and discipline and I would not give in and buy her whatever she wants, there would be boundaries. I think we would handle it well.
Although I'm not a parent yet...If I didn't have to work I sure as hell wouldn't hire a nanny to raise my child if I was able to be home with her 24/7!
The only thing that would change is the fact that she'd have a better childhood then I did with a lot more things to experience since I have the privilege of giving her that.
I'd still bw a SAHM but his daddy would probably become a SAHD and we'd probably just cover our living expenses with the money and whatever was left over would go into savings for college. Then we'd just spend a lot of time together with our son. I'd still cook and clean but we'd probably eat better and do fun stuff like go on vacations or go to the movies a lot more. Gosh, this is making me feel so depressed that we can't really do this! :)
I would be able to relax, I wouldn't hire a nanny and I would become a stay at home mom. I would put limits on my children, I don't want to raise spoiled brats.
I would buy a bigger home and maybe think about expanding my family even more and make college funds and go all organic.
I agree with stayathomemomma
I would let my kids get more school clothes, spring clothes etc. They would not have to choose between dance or music lessons because we can only afford one. I would give them more materially but definitely not free rein.
But best of all we could take an amazing family vacation and not worry about money LOL.
And no I would NOT hire a nanny but I would hire a house keeper in a heartbeat :)
we would be travelling the world in the summer. i want my kids to have the experience of different cultures.
during school i would hire a maid and cook, b/c those are my two most hated jobs about being a sahm. then i would have more time to spend with my family.
i would hire a nanny b/c i would be going to school to get a career as a dentist.
my kids would not be spoiled though....not by me...(they are unfortunately spoiled by family members already)
Get a cook, a housekeeper, and a nanny.
My kids would eat healthier.
I could spend more time with my kids because I wasn't cleaning.
A nanny to watch the kids so I could have one on one time with each of them. Travel would be easier with someone to watch the kids if my hubby and I wanted to have an adults only dinner.
My kids would get a lot in the way of possessions, but they would still have rules and boundaries. I'd probably be a nicer parent because more money equals less stress on how we're going to pay bills. And no, I wouldn't want a nanny. I like raising my kids myself. But I would like a maid and a cook.
There is no way I would hire a nanny! I love doing everything for my daughter and I want her by my side while I enjoy the money!
My daughter would not have free rein. Unlimited amounts of money could make teaching her the value of a dollar a little harder. :)
I would stay at home with my darlings. And i would make them enormous trust funds an college funds.
However, I wouldn't hand them everything they wanted. I would require them to get jobs at 16. No brats for me, thank you.
I wouldn't give them anything extra, and I would take them places and make memories, like maybe to some foreign country =]
there would be less tension and less worries. my husband could finally relax. other than that i would stay the same. just with less stress (hopefully)
lots and lots of kidshand soap

Is it possible to have the same blood type as a particular parent but a different rhesus factor?
Absolutely...they are different types of antigens, and are codified by different parts of the genoma...we can have any combination of blood type with the presence or not, of the glycopropein Rhesus (Rh)----- One proprety of the blood erythrocytes ha nothing to do with the other,,,,
So yes, we can have positive Rh or negative Rh combined with any blood type (O, A, AB or B)Is it possible to have the same blood type as a particular parent but a different rhesus factor?
yes it isIs it possible to have the same blood type as a particular parent but a different rhesus factor?
yes If your parents are both Rh+ and you are Rh-
or your one of your parent is Rh- and another is Rh+
Rr * Rr ---%26gt; 1/4 RR + 1/2 Rr + 1/4 rr
rr*Rr----%26gt; 1/2 Rr + 1/2 rr
r for Rh-
R for Rh+ and dominant
Rh is in-depend from blood type
Yes, here's how:
Rh factor is either + or -.
A person has two genes.
If they have ++, then they are + (Rh positive).
If they have +-, they are also +.
But if they have --, then they are - (Rh negative).
If one parent is ++ and the other parent is --, the child will be +- (the same as one parent, but different from the other).
If one parent is +- and the other parent is --, the child may be either +- or --. (Again, the same as one parent, but different from the other).
If both parents are +-, there's a 25% chance that the child will be --. (different from either parent)
My wife and I are +-. We have one child who is -- and one child who is +? (there's no way short of genetic testing to tell whether that child is ++ or +-.)
It is possible for two Rh+ parents to have an Rh- child.
However, it is impossible for two Rh- parents to have an Rh+ child. They can only have Rh- children.
Yes, particularly if that parent is a male.
Yes
Yes, most definitely. If both parents, for instance, are rhesus positive and they have rhesus negative in their genetic makeup and on conception the two negatives meet, the child should be born with the negative factor, but one of the parents blood groups. I am A neg, my mum was A pos and my dad was O pos. It was not discovered until the early 1970's, hence the paternal blood testing they did prior to this became obsolete and ceased to be of any relevance as all it did was ';supposedly'; state whom the father could not be.

How can a single parent with no income get money for school?
When you say you were ';denied'; for the FAFSA, what do you mean? Do you mean your EFC was a very high number, so you were not eligible for a pell grant or even a loan?
Everyone who applies receives an EFC, This amount determines your estimated family contribution.
Do you mean it is to late to receive aid for the current semester of college?How can a single parent with no income get money for school?
This might be easier than you think. The first thing you need to do is go to www.fafsa.ed.gov. Apply for a pin if you haven't already, and begin the application process. Once all of your data has been inputted, its just a matter of time as far as how much the prospective colleges/universities are going to award you. The application process takes about an hour. If its a little too daunting to do the application yourself, you should be able to get some assistance at a financial aid office in an area college or university.
Additionally, if your child is very young, many colleges and universities offer some sort of childcare. At least they do in my area. Good luck!How can a single parent with no income get money for school?
Here is a link to FinAid.org. It is a website that lists all kinds of financial aid programs. I took out loans to pay for my school. I'm sure there must be scholarships for single mothers. And if you are a minority, there are tons of scholarships and grants to help you.

Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?
A friend turned 18 recently and is living on base. She wants to move out of her house hold and in with her girlfriend. Can her mother with hold her belongings from her?Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?
It depends on what you are referring to. If you are referring to the furniture in her room, unless she paid for it or it was a gift from an adult, that furniture belongs to her parents and not your friend. She was permitted to use it while she lived under her parent's roof but she has no ownership of it.
As for her clothing and personal effects, she should be able to remove them but what is she going to do if her mother refuses to let her take them? Call the military police? She would be better off by gradually removing her belongings (cd by cd, etc.), starting with her most favorite items, each time she leaves the base and storing them in a storage locker. And then when she is left with not much that is important to her, if her mother won't let her take it with her, it won't matter. Tell her not to forget to take all her personal id (military, birth certificate, ssn card) plus her medical and education records with her. If her mother destroys them, she will be in a mess.
Good luck!Military child reaches age of majority and wants to move out can parent with hold belongings.?
if she is moving out she can take anything that belongs to her, they are legally her things now especially anything that she bought with her own money.

Do i need a parent with me at the court when im emancipated?
im 16 at the moment and i wanna leave my house i was wondering if i need a parent or a guardian at the court with me when im getting emancipated. i don't wanna live with my parents anymore.Do i need a parent with me at the court when im emancipated?
Oh no... You're a big girl and you can take care of yourself. I bet you can't wait till they die. Just think how great that will be. Once they're dead you won't have to listen to them anymore and think how great that will be.Do i need a parent with me at the court when im emancipated?
Depending on your state of residence you might need to show proof that you can support yourself and have a plan for living on your own in order to be emancipated. The courts need to see that you will not be a burden on the social services system, or become a vagrant on the streets.
It would be unreasonable for the court to expect you to have your parents with you, but nothing says the court has to be reasonable. You should go to an attorney in your area that specializes in family law and ask questions. Sometimes the first thirty minute appointment is free.
If you ';don't wanna live with'; your parents anymore for a valid reason, and have a good plan, the attorney will either help you or refer you to some other attorney to help you.
If the parents are just being more strict than you like and not letting you do your own thing, maybe you will have to bite the bullet and knuckle under for another two years until you finish high school.
Good luck.
I'm pretty sure you need a parent to be there, yes. You need them to sign away their rights to you or something like that. But 16 is a little young to be emancipated, the court will probably deny your request.

How to Convice your Parent you want to be Homeschooled?
what are some good things to tell your parent about homeschooling and how to talk to them and con vice themHow to Convice your Parent you want to be Homeschooled?
Ok I was home schooled. You could say the school system sucks and you are not really learning anything and that being home schooled you could focus and get your school done early and that then you could get a job or go to ballet class. Tell them maybe that you are tired of everyone being jerks at school and they are depressing you. I don't know if that helps but my mom pulled me out of school because the school system was terrible and the kids were rude and terribleHow to Convice your Parent you want to be Homeschooled?
Pull up some home school statistics (look on yahoo or google) because statistically homeschooler do better that public schoolers. You can get into an independent charted shool program which wont cost you anything and it is technically public school.
wow that's a tough one... because they will have to be involved in order for you to do it. here's a couple ideas:
1)google ';famous people who were homeschooled';
you will be surprised a lot of succesful famous people were homeschooled! copy and print some info from those sites to show them.
2)prove you can be responsible enough to work on your own , by keeping your room clean, and getting all your chores done without being reminded.
I think you should point out the benefits of home-school and the negative points of going to school.
Say, that in school, you are most likely to learn bad things than you do at home.
Being in home school is less expensive than going to school.
It will save them the transportation fees , etc.
May it a point that you mention financial benefits of being home-schooled. With the current economic condition, they might want to consider your suggestion.
Since you ';have'; to convince your Parents into homeschooling you then you need to come up with every alternative way of schooling so they won't have to do a thing or very little. I would consider a Charter School or online schooling. If you are a self learner this makes life even easier for your Parents.
If they feel you will need to be handheld to learn then this might not work out.
You need to prove that this is the best course for you. Write down all the positives of schooling at home an all the negatives of schooling outside the home.
Do your research and come prepared.
That is great that you want to be home schooled. Look up sites to gain information. Students do much better overall when they are home schooled. It's a great way to have bible study be a part of your studies. You need a stay-at-home parent to do it, which is great. Stay-at-home parents can be a great blessing to this world %26amp; to the children. If this is truly what you want, express that to them, %26amp; give them specific reasons. I pray that you get your wish. Grow in God!
i hated school so much i would have panick attacks there and spend the day in the nurses office. my teachers sucked at teaching and i learned nothing from them. and kids were all a$$holes. so say all that. thats how i got my mom to homeschool me. also she said no because homeschooling cost money to buy a curiculum. so take online school.it is great and easy. the parent doesnt have to do anything. the school is compltly free and gives you all the books and a free computer.and it pays for your computer bills also i believe. you have online classes and everything. its amazing. tell her to let you go to a cyber school. what ever state you live in just google cyber schools in that state. i go to agora charter cyber school its amazing.
say that you feel that the school your in feels like your leaning nothing what so ever and that you KNOW you'll do better being homeschooled and actually prove it once you are home schooled hahahah
and if you live in California you can get home schooled online for free on
kaplanonlineschools.com
oh well im home schooled!
theres a lot of good things!
you could work cuz most home schools give you a permit no matter what your age, since you're gonna be at home most of the time they don't want you to waste it, so yea you could work.
um lets see, oh you could finish a yr. or 2 earlier! its true! im 15 %26amp; by the time im 16 ill be done with high school!
more one on one instruction!

you might be able to convince them, if you imagine they each have a button in the middle of their forehead, which says ';What's In It For Me?';
If you can show them how They benefit, you will succeed, if not, learn to enjoy Public School.
Tell your parents ';I want to be homeschooled.';.
If they decline, you do not want to be homeschooled as even the world's gutter education system is better then a couple of parents who aren't up to the job.
Try to determine what area of study interests you. Than see how you could benefit from independent study in that area. My dd has a gift for learning languages. We are better equipped to explore her gift at home on a one-to-one basis than a traditional school.
Here are some great tips for talking to your parents about homeschooling

If you dont like the environment and going to a school with different personalities, then just tell your mom. Write down why you want to be homeschooled and the ups and dwns about going to school.
I was never able to convince mine to homeschool me. No matter what i said. I told them I was getting teased, and that i wasn't getting the help I needed. Some parents are too lazy.
don't do it most of he people who try homeschool wind up as drop outs

Tell them that it's safer, and that you get a better education.
why do you want to be home schooled?
give you parents an excuse such as that you are being bullied
tell them y you want to be home schooled they should understand
Why do you want to be homeschooled? Public school is amazing, you can meet so many interesting people and have such a fun time : )
You could just get expelled :P
Then they dont really have a choice (unless they send you to military school or something).
makesure you you stick pizza crust up there butt. Then when they ask why, say you are socially awkward.
tell them u r being bullied and can't keep up with the work and start crying.
say ur getting bullied and u wanna kill urself!hand soap
Ok I was home schooled. You could say the school system sucks and you are not really learning anything and that being home schooled you could focus and get your school done early and that then you could get a job or go to ballet class. Tell them maybe that you are tired of everyone being jerks at school and they are depressing you. I don't know if that helps but my mom pulled me out of school because the school system was terrible and the kids were rude and terribleHow to Convice your Parent you want to be Homeschooled?
Pull up some home school statistics (look on yahoo or google) because statistically homeschooler do better that public schoolers. You can get into an independent charted shool program which wont cost you anything and it is technically public school.
wow that's a tough one... because they will have to be involved in order for you to do it. here's a couple ideas:
1)google ';famous people who were homeschooled';
you will be surprised a lot of succesful famous people were homeschooled! copy and print some info from those sites to show them.
2)prove you can be responsible enough to work on your own , by keeping your room clean, and getting all your chores done without being reminded.
I think you should point out the benefits of home-school and the negative points of going to school.
Say, that in school, you are most likely to learn bad things than you do at home.
Being in home school is less expensive than going to school.
It will save them the transportation fees , etc.
May it a point that you mention financial benefits of being home-schooled. With the current economic condition, they might want to consider your suggestion.
Since you ';have'; to convince your Parents into homeschooling you then you need to come up with every alternative way of schooling so they won't have to do a thing or very little. I would consider a Charter School or online schooling. If you are a self learner this makes life even easier for your Parents.
If they feel you will need to be handheld to learn then this might not work out.
You need to prove that this is the best course for you. Write down all the positives of schooling at home an all the negatives of schooling outside the home.
Do your research and come prepared.
That is great that you want to be home schooled. Look up sites to gain information. Students do much better overall when they are home schooled. It's a great way to have bible study be a part of your studies. You need a stay-at-home parent to do it, which is great. Stay-at-home parents can be a great blessing to this world %26amp; to the children. If this is truly what you want, express that to them, %26amp; give them specific reasons. I pray that you get your wish. Grow in God!
i hated school so much i would have panick attacks there and spend the day in the nurses office. my teachers sucked at teaching and i learned nothing from them. and kids were all a$$holes. so say all that. thats how i got my mom to homeschool me. also she said no because homeschooling cost money to buy a curiculum. so take online school.it is great and easy. the parent doesnt have to do anything. the school is compltly free and gives you all the books and a free computer.and it pays for your computer bills also i believe. you have online classes and everything. its amazing. tell her to let you go to a cyber school. what ever state you live in just google cyber schools in that state. i go to agora charter cyber school its amazing.
say that you feel that the school your in feels like your leaning nothing what so ever and that you KNOW you'll do better being homeschooled and actually prove it once you are home schooled hahahah
and if you live in California you can get home schooled online for free on
kaplanonlineschools.com

Has anyone else had difficulty finding and keeping a job due to being a single parent. im very depressed about
ive had a very unstable and inconsistent work history. ive had to take all types of jobs just to feed my kids. but its haunting me now that im trying to get back into the work force. i dont even know how to due a resume effectively. i get depressed everytime i try to look for work and am very discouraged. i have education to back me up-but my work history is bad.Has anyone else had difficulty finding and keeping a job due to being a single parent. im very depressed about
Generally the less you disclose on a resume the better, especially if you have work gaps. In your case it might just be better to be open and honest about your work history and let your potential employer know that you took jobs that were not what you wanted and had to miss work because of being a single parent. You might have to work to convince them that the past is over and you are now ready for a real challenge.Has anyone else had difficulty finding and keeping a job due to being a single parent. im very depressed about
Okay pep talk time get off your rear and go out there and find a job you think you might like. Gets you back in touch with people and work situations.
Try and get yourself a new haircut and even if money is tight throw in a manicure and get your mojo going within and stop with the depression.
You have done damn good if you have managed to keep your head above water and you should be very proud of you.
Don't give up. Keep looking. I rarely use an
resume. I went to work for the school district
as an assistant. This job gives me week-ends and evenings off plus holidays. The pay isn't the best but schools understand days off due to children related reasons.
You need career counseling.
On your resume just put a couple of jobs that have experience relating to the job you are applying for.....leave off dates for the moment.......when you get your interview you can always explain things to them, employers are often forgiving if they know the reasoning behind things and if you reassure them that if hired you are there to stay!
You shouldnt have had kids.Bottom line your not supposed to have kid until you have a great job house and so on.If the father has died then its not your fault but If hes not then this is the price you pay for being a slut.

How could I get a hardship liscence im 15 and pregnant my moms a single parent of 2 and works all the time?
It's mainly where i cn get to my doctor app. and to school on time. Because noone else has the time to take meHow could I get a hardship liscence im 15 and pregnant my moms a single parent of 2 and works all the time?
Not sure what a hardship license is... but you're now an adult whether you like it or not. If you have to WALK to your doc appointments and school, then I guess you better start. It's nobody else's responsibility to get you to and from.How could I get a hardship liscence im 15 and pregnant my moms a single parent of 2 and works all the time?
the law is the law on licenses and i never heard of a hardship one. Legally its your mom's responsibility to get you to the doctors because you are under 18. Next, take the bus to school or walk. Till the last month or two you usually only go to the doctor for pregnancy once a month unless there are problems. so it shouldn't be that difficult to get your parents, or boyfriend or a friend to take you there.
You should have thought about that before you got pregnant. Get the father of the baby to drive you - before he goes to jail.
I don't know where you go for a physician. A hospital or a private business. But a hospital if you ask they have transportation services. The bus. If your doctor is a private doctor outside a hospital and doesn't have a service like that I'd switch to a hospital staff so you can sign up for pick up and drop offs.
PS%26gt; I couldn't imagine having sex at your age. See how damn hard it is, girl? Sheesh...and it's just begun. Next time have that idiot wear a condom. good luck.

Why did you want to become a parent?
I was asked this after I got pregnant 6 months after I got married. My family was questioning me why I wanted a child now? I wondered and I said, I love children and more then anything I wanted to become a mother. My husband felt the same way. We both love children and we both want them...Is ';Because'; a good enough answer..
I was just wondering what others think?Why did you want to become a parent?
I think because is a fine answer. That would be mine!
There is nothing more rewarding then creating a child with the man I love!
I didn't even want kids until him %26amp; I started to date. I just knew I wanted to make him a daddy %26amp; have a piece of us walking on this earth.Why did you want to become a parent?
Because, like you, I loved children and always knew I would someday want some of my own. Then when I met my husband that desire grew even stronger because I knew by having children I would always have a piece of him too should anything happen(military).
Now I love seeing our son run around because I'm able to pick facial features of myself and my husband. We also see a lot of ourselves in his personaltiy and it's amazing knowing that we are the only two people that could make such a perfect and amazing child like Noah.
i am 16 weeks pregnant, and i want to be a parent because there is nothing more i want then to be a mother :) i can not believe the love i already feel for this baby %26lt;3 all i do is worry too!! LOL im soooo scared of losing little jellybean.. i could not imagine how that would feel!!
i love my baby so much :)
You know, I don't really know why I wanted to become a parent I just had this overwhelming sense of wanting to have a baby. I think it was just the right time for us and it is the best thing that has ever happened to us so it was all just meant to be.
Because is a perfectly fine answer. It's kind of a stupid question. What did they expect you to say? ';Well, see, we were playing truth or dare, and I chose dare...';.
For the unconditional love !
i think that's a great answer im gonna use it i wanted to be a mom because i did just cause

Why do some older parents look at being a young parent as a bad thing?
Ok I had my baby on september 22 2006, Im 18 and you wouldnt believe the looks i've been getting. Why do people I dont know look at me like having my baby was a bad thing. Having a baby is one of the best things that every happened to me (besides meeting my soulmate). If it wasnt for my daughter I dont think that I would live to see this day. Shes made my life worth living and ever since she was born i am less depressed than befor. Just because of my age doesnt mean I should be treated less worthy than older parents. Why do some older parents look at being a young parent as a bad thing?Why do some older parents look at being a young parent as a bad thing?
I myself was pregnant at 17 and had my daughter just before I turned 18. I got a few looks, but hey they don't know you or where you came from. For all they know you're parenting skills and baby knowledge could be ten times what theirs is. Take care of your child and don't worry about what other people do or say. They for one are mad that their bodies didn't bounce back as quick as it does when your younger and for two they think that we are inexperienced. I am now 21 and people that know me tell me that no matter what my age is they can see that I am one of the best mothers that they know. My child is happy and healthy and that's all that matters.Why do some older parents look at being a young parent as a bad thing?
I think most people simply have preconceived ideas of who 18 years old are-- irresponsible or not ready.
You dont have to be 18 to be 'snubbed' -- plenty act like that towards anyone who's not married when they have a kid.
People just see you and assume it was an accident and you were careless or not prepared for a child. Keep your chin up! Pretty soon your wee one will be a little older and she and all her friends will love you cus you'll be the cool mom and not the old fuddy duddy one. :-D
older parents think that having kids young is so bad because. In the old times that didn't do that. the oldest they had kids was 29. thing will by okey my brother went through the same thing
if you need some one to talk to you could find me on AIM
(jaquetta111) or on yahoo (jaquetta7@yahoo.com) and on myspace (myspace.com/jaquettta/.com
the same reason some people look at older older, talking in their 40's, new parents as being a bad thing. Because no one knows how to mind their own business. I had my first at 18, I don;t remember the looks and such, but I was truly not interested in moronic judgmental idiots anyways. Good luck and Congratulations!
It's simply because of how society views this kind of situation. They had not been able to accept the idea that the youth of today is more mature than the youth of yesterday. What was considered as a scandal in the fifties/sixties/seventies is now an accepted everyday occurence.
I'm no parent, but I am an observer. For me, having a friend who is now a parent hadn't made much of a difference in how I view it. My parents viewed the whole thing at an entirely different perspective. They think my friend wasted her life by having a baby too soon. But I think having a baby forced her to grow up. It's not that I think what she did was wrong, I actually thought it was pretty admirable that she had chosen to go through with the pregnancy and not resort to abortion. If there's anything that saddened me about the whole thing was that she wasn't prepared for the responsibility. Physically yes, she's prepared, emotionally and psychologically, no, she wasn't. (She's actually a bit older than you).
From what I can see though, you're prepared psychologically, and emotionally for the responsibility you are now facing. And because people don't know your capability and your commitment to pursuing a family with your husband-to-be at such a young age (barely out-of-school age as our parents seem to think), you will be in the receiving end of the stigma. If you look around you, you see other youths going through the same thing, but with an obvious reluctance, thus reflecting badly on all who became young mothers by choice. That's the difference between you and some of the teenage mothers around, you became a mother by choice and be proud of it. Prove to all your detractors that this was no accident. That this isn't something you did not wish for with all of your heart. And know that you are admired by people like me who values integrity, a sense of responsibility, commitment, and courage to face the world with your head held high.
Some people might think you're a **** or something but maybe the main reason is, Your youth is gone. You had so much more time to get out there but now you have to devot your time to your child. You shouldn't be that surprised that people might think of you differently. When you say 'older parents' it's not 'older' it's more of the ';usual';. To me older is 50 and up.
Many think that the young are naive, and immature. but i believe that people that are ready (you you stated you are) married, and want kids, then I'm delighted that they have kids! those who have kids young with no father that are naive and immature are the ones that give us a bad name. congrats :)
Because they are clueless, it's that simple.
Just let their nasty looks rol off your shoulders, or, if you feel really mean, shoot them back, and bend over to give your baby a kiss.
You are doing a really great job, don't let others put you down!
It's unusual when someone finds their soulmate, and even more when its someone youre age. Now days people are waiting until their 30s to get married and start having children. Its not bad that youre that young having a child, its just suprising to find someone so lucky to be able to start their future so young. Good luck to you, and congrats!
This is a VERY true statement. However, I found more snide remarks and comments for having a child out of wedlock. My first husband and I were BOTH 17 when my first child was born. We both graduated H.S. and married. I felt this overwhelming NEED to keep striving harder and to give my daughter the world. Thus, I joined the Navy in order to better everything. Needless to say, I was 25 with 3rd child and 3rd husband. Now I am going through a nasty divorce with someone who only cares about $$. I am 32 now and I feel like I was a much better parent at 17 than I am now. In addition, when I went through Nursing School, teen-age mothers were bashed and it was very offensive to me. However, statistics show certain ';behavior'; patterns. Ironically, when I sought treatment for Anxiety, I found that the Dr. tries to ';stereotype'; you as well for treatment. Having a 'degree' and an honor student, it never dawned on him that I was a teen-age mother until year later. It threw him slightly off track. We all are human and you can be a ';GOOD' or ';BAD'; mother at any age. Let all that you do be for the best for the baby and of course yourself!
I think it's because they regret waiting so long.
I had all 3 of my kids by 22, and now--- in my forties--- I'd NEVER have the kind of energy it took to chase after those boys!
They're probably jealous that you are energetic. Just ignore them.
As common as teen mothers are, they are rare individuals in our communities and do attract undue attention as people imagine what that must be like or if it was their daughter in that situation.
I am an older parent and I am so glad that I am. I got to really enjoy every second of my 20s and live for myself. I got to travel and date and live alone. Live alone - that's the important one. I don't think I could have coped as a young mother - I don't think I would have had the patience and I think I would have resented not getting a chance to live for myself after 19 years of living under someone else's roof.
Having said that, my mother was almost 16 when she had me and my twin sister. That's right folks - 2 babies attending her sweet 16 and a third before she was 20 and then divorced at 22 and raised us largely alone. It boggles my mind, frankly and I was there.
My mom and I are devoted friends and have been all our lives. The small age difference between us has been a total blessing and now she is young enough to enjoy her grandchildren, even though I waited until I was 33 to become a mother - more than double the age she did. My mother has told me that the relationship that we have shared has made all the crap she had to put up with in her life worthwhile.
We live just a few doors away from each other and I am very grateful that she did have me so early in her life. By now I am her oldest and dearest friend - it's a perspective that few mother/daughter relationships get to share. Don't pay any attention to what others say and do. Go girl, go!
Peace!
My wife and I waited till we were married to have our first child. Shortly after we were married, we found out we were going to have a baby. My wife was 20, i was 19.
To this day, we have issues with my wife's family because we started off so ';young'; yet having our children are the best thing for us.
I spent alot of time doing research and realized a few things that stood out in our situation. Her family came from a somewhat good background but her mother had alot of issues with her ';adult'; life. Multiple Divorce's, and spouce abuse... She also lost one of her children in a car wreck.
From what we are able to pull together, her mom has issues with us being parrents at such a young age because we are doing something she could never do. She did not have a choice, she was forced into it. My wife and I have a wonderful relationship and a very strong family. We live for our children and that is what makes life so special to us.
hope some of that helps?
because they are mean and stupid and they think they know everything it's great that i was a young mom too and i was raise in a family of 165 cousins and i had tons of experience and i always showed up those busy bodies. keep up the good work
i had my daughter aged 17. she's 13 years old now the same thing happened to me when she was a baby i would not let it bother you hold you head high i did. things will change all i get now is people thinking my daughter is my sister lol i also have a baby he's 10 months old everyone thinks he's my 1st they get a shock when i tell them age of my daughter
Older parents look down at younger parents for several reasons. One reason is because there are some young mothers are irresponsible and don't properly take care of their children but you can say that of mothers of any age. Some women who wait to have children until they are older look back at their younger days and think that since they weren't ready to be mothers when they were younger that nobody else possibly could. They also might be jealous and some older mothers might think that younger mothers make them look older when they are compared to them.
i dont know i can't really feel how you feel but my mom is 53 and im 11 my brother is 31 and when im with him everyone says is that your dad or how old were when you had her my mom frown upon young moms i feel sorry for you
I read through everything you wrote, and I think it is safe to say that you are very mature for your age - you aer the exception to the general rule.
Most people your age are not mature, not responsible enough to care for a child, have no money or job prospects, and, like you said, just ';looking to get in someone's pants';. Would you want someone like that to have a baby? I don't think so. When people see you, all they see is your age - they have no way of knowing that you are capable of providing a stable and healthy environment for your baby. So they judge you based on the average 18 year old, and come to the conclusion that it is a bad thing.
Yes, they shouldn't be so quick to judge - I am not defending their opinion, just explaining it.
Well, sometimes older people are more wiser and think things sometimes better than younger people. My younger sister does things without thinking and one day we hope that she will think of the consequences before she acts. But it is not a bad thing having a baby at a young age, if the parents that have it are responsible. By taking action on taking care of there baby, giving the baby lots of love. Some people just bring babies to the world and don't even take care of them how they are supposed to. I am glad to hear that your baby changed your life in a good way...you are going to be a great mother...and don't worry about what people think...cause people just want to critize! You take care and keep your head up high!
Having a baby is a blessing at any age, as you well know. Older people look at the responsibilities attached to child rearing, and understand that raising a child makes college, or working that much more difficult for a young parent. Ideally a couple is financially stable when they start a family and decide to have children, usually that means after college. Reality sometimes trumps ideals and we deal with life as best we can. Congratulations on your baby and best of luck.
The same reason stay-at-home moms and work outside the home moms get so hateful toward one another's decisions...people pass judgement, especially against what they DIDN'T chose for themselves, a lot of time it makes them feel better about their own decision if they can 'look' down on someone elses....
I consider myself a young mom and I had my first at 26. I was always the youngest women in the doctors office. I think that a girl still in her teens should wait before CHOOSING to start a family. I don't believe that she will necessarily be a bad mother because of her age. I do think that she has ALLOT of living left to do before making the life altering, PERMANENT choice of marriage and children. At even 20 years old, although mature enough to have true love and bare children, who you are is still forming. The man you love at 20 may not be the man you will love at even 25. Learning to support yourself, live alone, and live a life of Independence is so important to making you a whole person. I fear that a young woman of 18 is looking for a man and a baby to make her whole, when you should make YOURSELF whole first, then you can be in an equal marriage and a better parent who knows her self worth. And lets not forget the financial burden of raising children, which at 18, unless you have a nice trust-fund, you cannot earn what it takes to make a family thrive.
you r a good mother and be proud of it old people r just set in there ways. when someone looks at u and makes u feel like this ask them if they would like to see ur beautiful daughter that god allowed u to have because when it comes down to it u would not have he if god did not let u create her good luck
First off, congrats on your baby! Secondly, I have the same problem. I'm 21 and had my first baby 9 weeks ago. I get rude comments all the time; mostly people trying to give me ';advice'; about the simplest things on how to take care of my baby as if being young automaticly makes you stupid or something. I say its nobodys bussiness what you do when. I mean you're 18, not 12! You're an adult by every right, and in most countries, and in the US just 6 decades ago, most girls had 2 or 3 kids by 18! I think having kids at a young age, like God intended, is better. Babies born to younger parents have a less percentage of birth defects, we have more energy to care for and play with our kids, and we'll be more likely to live to see our children grow up. There's nothing wrong with people waiting until they're a little older for kids ( my mom was 30 when she had me, her only child) but thats their choice just the same as having your daughter at 18 is yours. Good luck!
I dont understand either. I think it is ironic too, because most the older people that look at you like this were probably married at 18 and had kids by 19. I am very happy for you and wish you luck with your family!!
Speaking as an older parent (I was nearly 38 when I had my first child), I hope that I don't give bad ';looks'; to teen parents. The only thing I think of when I see young people with babies is that it seems like ';babies are having babies';. Young parents haven't had a chance to have their own lives before they bring another life into the world. Some young parents even seem to think that having a child will solve their problems. I did feel a little weird when you said that ';ever since she was born you were less depressed than before'; Hopefully she wasnt' brought into your life to ';cure '; your depression. I think that is probably what older people may be thinking when they see young parents. Unfortunately, some of them don't have the common sense and good manners to mind their own business and hide thier feelings a little better.hand soap
I myself was pregnant at 17 and had my daughter just before I turned 18. I got a few looks, but hey they don't know you or where you came from. For all they know you're parenting skills and baby knowledge could be ten times what theirs is. Take care of your child and don't worry about what other people do or say. They for one are mad that their bodies didn't bounce back as quick as it does when your younger and for two they think that we are inexperienced. I am now 21 and people that know me tell me that no matter what my age is they can see that I am one of the best mothers that they know. My child is happy and healthy and that's all that matters.Why do some older parents look at being a young parent as a bad thing?
I think most people simply have preconceived ideas of who 18 years old are-- irresponsible or not ready.
You dont have to be 18 to be 'snubbed' -- plenty act like that towards anyone who's not married when they have a kid.
People just see you and assume it was an accident and you were careless or not prepared for a child. Keep your chin up! Pretty soon your wee one will be a little older and she and all her friends will love you cus you'll be the cool mom and not the old fuddy duddy one. :-D
older parents think that having kids young is so bad because. In the old times that didn't do that. the oldest they had kids was 29. thing will by okey my brother went through the same thing
if you need some one to talk to you could find me on AIM
(jaquetta111) or on yahoo (jaquetta7@yahoo.com) and on myspace (myspace.com/jaquettta/.com
the same reason some people look at older older, talking in their 40's, new parents as being a bad thing. Because no one knows how to mind their own business. I had my first at 18, I don;t remember the looks and such, but I was truly not interested in moronic judgmental idiots anyways. Good luck and Congratulations!
It's simply because of how society views this kind of situation. They had not been able to accept the idea that the youth of today is more mature than the youth of yesterday. What was considered as a scandal in the fifties/sixties/seventies is now an accepted everyday occurence.
I'm no parent, but I am an observer. For me, having a friend who is now a parent hadn't made much of a difference in how I view it. My parents viewed the whole thing at an entirely different perspective. They think my friend wasted her life by having a baby too soon. But I think having a baby forced her to grow up. It's not that I think what she did was wrong, I actually thought it was pretty admirable that she had chosen to go through with the pregnancy and not resort to abortion. If there's anything that saddened me about the whole thing was that she wasn't prepared for the responsibility. Physically yes, she's prepared, emotionally and psychologically, no, she wasn't. (She's actually a bit older than you).
From what I can see though, you're prepared psychologically, and emotionally for the responsibility you are now facing. And because people don't know your capability and your commitment to pursuing a family with your husband-to-be at such a young age (barely out-of-school age as our parents seem to think), you will be in the receiving end of the stigma. If you look around you, you see other youths going through the same thing, but with an obvious reluctance, thus reflecting badly on all who became young mothers by choice. That's the difference between you and some of the teenage mothers around, you became a mother by choice and be proud of it. Prove to all your detractors that this was no accident. That this isn't something you did not wish for with all of your heart. And know that you are admired by people like me who values integrity, a sense of responsibility, commitment, and courage to face the world with your head held high.
Some people might think you're a **** or something but maybe the main reason is, Your youth is gone. You had so much more time to get out there but now you have to devot your time to your child. You shouldn't be that surprised that people might think of you differently. When you say 'older parents' it's not 'older' it's more of the ';usual';. To me older is 50 and up.
Many think that the young are naive, and immature. but i believe that people that are ready (you you stated you are) married, and want kids, then I'm delighted that they have kids! those who have kids young with no father that are naive and immature are the ones that give us a bad name. congrats :)
Because they are clueless, it's that simple.
Just let their nasty looks rol off your shoulders, or, if you feel really mean, shoot them back, and bend over to give your baby a kiss.
You are doing a really great job, don't let others put you down!
It's unusual when someone finds their soulmate, and even more when its someone youre age. Now days people are waiting until their 30s to get married and start having children. Its not bad that youre that young having a child, its just suprising to find someone so lucky to be able to start their future so young. Good luck to you, and congrats!
This is a VERY true statement. However, I found more snide remarks and comments for having a child out of wedlock. My first husband and I were BOTH 17 when my first child was born. We both graduated H.S. and married. I felt this overwhelming NEED to keep striving harder and to give my daughter the world. Thus, I joined the Navy in order to better everything. Needless to say, I was 25 with 3rd child and 3rd husband. Now I am going through a nasty divorce with someone who only cares about $$. I am 32 now and I feel like I was a much better parent at 17 than I am now. In addition, when I went through Nursing School, teen-age mothers were bashed and it was very offensive to me. However, statistics show certain ';behavior'; patterns. Ironically, when I sought treatment for Anxiety, I found that the Dr. tries to ';stereotype'; you as well for treatment. Having a 'degree' and an honor student, it never dawned on him that I was a teen-age mother until year later. It threw him slightly off track. We all are human and you can be a ';GOOD' or ';BAD'; mother at any age. Let all that you do be for the best for the baby and of course yourself!
I think it's because they regret waiting so long.
I had all 3 of my kids by 22, and now--- in my forties--- I'd NEVER have the kind of energy it took to chase after those boys!
They're probably jealous that you are energetic. Just ignore them.
As common as teen mothers are, they are rare individuals in our communities and do attract undue attention as people imagine what that must be like or if it was their daughter in that situation.
I am an older parent and I am so glad that I am. I got to really enjoy every second of my 20s and live for myself. I got to travel and date and live alone. Live alone - that's the important one. I don't think I could have coped as a young mother - I don't think I would have had the patience and I think I would have resented not getting a chance to live for myself after 19 years of living under someone else's roof.
Having said that, my mother was almost 16 when she had me and my twin sister. That's right folks - 2 babies attending her sweet 16 and a third before she was 20 and then divorced at 22 and raised us largely alone. It boggles my mind, frankly and I was there.
My mom and I are devoted friends and have been all our lives. The small age difference between us has been a total blessing and now she is young enough to enjoy her grandchildren, even though I waited until I was 33 to become a mother - more than double the age she did. My mother has told me that the relationship that we have shared has made all the crap she had to put up with in her life worthwhile.
We live just a few doors away from each other and I am very grateful that she did have me so early in her life. By now I am her oldest and dearest friend - it's a perspective that few mother/daughter relationships get to share. Don't pay any attention to what others say and do. Go girl, go!
Peace!
My wife and I waited till we were married to have our first child. Shortly after we were married, we found out we were going to have a baby. My wife was 20, i was 19.
To this day, we have issues with my wife's family because we started off so ';young'; yet having our children are the best thing for us.
I spent alot of time doing research and realized a few things that stood out in our situation. Her family came from a somewhat good background but her mother had alot of issues with her ';adult'; life. Multiple Divorce's, and spouce abuse... She also lost one of her children in a car wreck.
From what we are able to pull together, her mom has issues with us being parrents at such a young age because we are doing something she could never do. She did not have a choice, she was forced into it. My wife and I have a wonderful relationship and a very strong family. We live for our children and that is what makes life so special to us.
hope some of that helps?
because they are mean and stupid and they think they know everything it's great that i was a young mom too and i was raise in a family of 165 cousins and i had tons of experience and i always showed up those busy bodies. keep up the good work
i had my daughter aged 17. she's 13 years old now the same thing happened to me when she was a baby i would not let it bother you hold you head high i did. things will change all i get now is people thinking my daughter is my sister lol i also have a baby he's 10 months old everyone thinks he's my 1st they get a shock when i tell them age of my daughter
Older parents look down at younger parents for several reasons. One reason is because there are some young mothers are irresponsible and don't properly take care of their children but you can say that of mothers of any age. Some women who wait to have children until they are older look back at their younger days and think that since they weren't ready to be mothers when they were younger that nobody else possibly could. They also might be jealous and some older mothers might think that younger mothers make them look older when they are compared to them.
i dont know i can't really feel how you feel but my mom is 53 and im 11 my brother is 31 and when im with him everyone says is that your dad or how old were when you had her my mom frown upon young moms i feel sorry for you
I read through everything you wrote, and I think it is safe to say that you are very mature for your age - you aer the exception to the general rule.
Most people your age are not mature, not responsible enough to care for a child, have no money or job prospects, and, like you said, just ';looking to get in someone's pants';.

Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
Paying parents that try to make the payments, you keep on making the payments. You can not help support the whole household that your children live under and support your household as well. I believe that paying parents are being discriminated against and taken advantage of because there are not enough tax incentives to help them survive. I know that some paying parents may make a lot of money than they are paying, but some of them do not make enough to survive. And to all those that are trying to use their children as a control factor over the other, you need to show yourself and your children some respect. Whether you like it or not the other parent will be a part of that child's life someday.Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
Paying parents do have tax incentives. They can claim that child on their taxes.Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
My biggest complaint has always been that they will enforce payment but will NOT force the custodial parent to allow visitation when it is also court ordered.
Ok you are obviously some guy who dropped his pants,got off and made a kid with someone and are now pissed because you have to pay to help support the child you made.
No one owes you anything,you made a child 1st before you got on with your life,if things are tight with your new family that's too bad,a child should not have to do without so that you can support a family that came after the child you 1st made.
You should have gotten a Snip-Snip-its-Over Vasectomy if you didn't want the financial ';burden'; of paying for a life you helped to create. Kids cost money, and lots of it. I know of too many fathers who worked really hard to keep their assets hidden and to make their earnings seem less than they really were. So, in the end it is the children who suffer because they must go without. This is the flipside of the coin you just introduced to us.
No, it does not discriminate. You made the baby, now you pay if you don't stay married. If that means that you can't maintain two households, that's just too bad.
I agree that using the kids as pawns is extremely poor behavior.
You created the child, it is half your responsibility. You chose to leave. You're still responsible. The custodial parent should not be punished.
actually this is more of a ';men's right';
What makes this case special is that rather than pay the child support (or fail to pay, as often occurs), Dubay, represented by the National Center for Men, has filed a lawsuit in federal court. Dubay claims that he has a right under the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution, to cut off all ties to his unwanted biological child.

Simple, you made the Child, so Pay for the Child. the Child is the only person who has no say in the arguments of the Parents, and if you see fit to walk out on the household, then don't walk out on your Child.

What is the minimum monthly amount a parent can make and still be able to recieve ssi disability for child?
the income of the family IS looked at when applying for a child to go on disability. SSI does have a set amount, which can be found on there website, if you make too much they feel they should not have to help you take care of your childWhat is the minimum monthly amount a parent can make and still be able to recieve ssi disability for child?
Disability is not based on the income of the parents. Welfare is.

Why Do I Want to Be a Parent So Badly?
I'm only 22 and in college. There are a lot of things I want to do with my life before settling down but why is this desire starting to spring up so much?Why Do I Want to Be a Parent So Badly?
biology. ignore it and keep your priorities in order.Why Do I Want to Be a Parent So Badly?
some people say it happens because you see so many babies and theyre so cute and you want one of your own, others think it could be that you want someone to love you unconditionlly.. no matter what you do wrong or right, they'll still love you, or because you long to have a greater responsibility and want to have another persons lives in your hands and take care of them and nurture them. it could also just be that youre a woman and women have that nurturing feelings in them and you just want that in your life. i myself am younger than you and want a baby so bad, even though im in college and have a long way to go, and even though i dont think id be able to have a baby and stay in school, i still want one so bad, and i dont know why either
its probably because of society everybody's having kids now even rich and famous people and everybody always wants what they dont have. or maybe its just because the way you were raised something that makes you want to have the joy of seeing a human thats a part of you. greatest joy in the world
I do not know your circumstances exactly, but perhaps it could be because you met someone with whom you would like to build family and have children, or may be you have friends who have little children and that makes you want them to. Of course, it is just my guess.
*cough*
Life basics. Living things have a will to survive (fight entropy if you will), and to reproduce.
Your will is most likely affected by your head going ';Holy cow! Your body is at its peak! Lets raise kids right now while we are at 100% baby!';
If your college approves it, get married, have a baby and continue your studies.
wait until you know for sure that the time is right for you good luck remember a baby is for life its just your hormones talking
Maybe your subconscious wants a cute baby, or someone who'll adore you. Or biology.

you are a woman its in your genes!

How old do you have to be to go on holiday with your friends, with parent permission?
i have heard that some places allow you to go on holiday with your friends at the age of 16, with your parents/guardians permission. i am 16 and really want to go away for a week or two. my mother said it will be ok but i am not quite sure what the age is for the law. Does anyone know?How old do you have to be to go on holiday with your friends, with parent permission?
The requirement for under 16 years olds is, an adult would have to accompany you on holiday, especially if your holiday is abroad. If the adult is not your parent or legal guardian and you are under 16, passport control will not let you through, unless you have permission from said parent or legal guardian to be with that adult. You are 16, so classed as an adult, in law. So you can go on holiday without permission.How old do you have to be to go on holiday with your friends, with parent permission?
it depends on which hotel you want to stay in, some will only allow you to stay if you are 19!
17
16 years, but you need to know yourself and your limitations and be open minded. Responsibility will also be an criteria
16 is absolutly fine...i went at 16 and had a blast...xXx
Hey I went to Kavos when I was 16, and I needed my parents permission. I think its 16 with parents written consent, ask your travel operator - they will know for sure.

Is it my responsibility as a responsible parent to do whatever it takes to stop my gay son from having sex ?
until he is 18 years old?Is it my responsibility as a responsible parent to do whatever it takes to stop my gay son from having sex ?
as it would be for any parent to stop their child from having sex before marriage...now whatever it takes can get you in trouble too... its still their choice and even the Bible says there is a time when even a child understands and then they will be judged.Is it my responsibility as a responsible parent to do whatever it takes to stop my gay son from having sex ?
As a parent, I think my responsibility is to educate my children into the reasons why having sex is such a serious subject. Gay or straight makes no difference whatsoever. I have five kids, and we talk to them very openly and bluntly about the subject, and we trust them to make good decisions based on the education we (and the schools) help provide, but at the same time, their mothers and I realize that we didn't wait until we were ';of age,'; either, and so also provide them with condoms and we do so in a way that encourages them to take advantage of those supplies, if they choose to have sex.
Again, I don't know why Gay or Straight makes a difference.
Since this is posted in the religious section, I'll assume you are Christian and raising your son as such. Let him know that premarital sex is a sin, and just because he is gay doesn't excuse him from it. Sex outside a committed, monogamous relationship is sin.
No, as he will probably have sex anyway, and without adequate protection. It is your responsibility to teach him how to have safe, protected sex, and leave the rest to your son.
It is your responsibility as a parent to prevent any minor child in your care from having uncontrolled sex until they reach the age of majority in your state. Gender and gender preference have nothing to do with it.
No. It is your responsibility as a responsible parent is to educate him....just as any parent should. Not just the parent of a gay child.
The worst thing you could do is let him get wrong information from his friends or strangers!
Hello, do you ever get tired of making new accounts?

What difference does it make if
he is homosexual or not?
Is there a different legal
age for homosexual sex
than there is for straight sex?

Peace
It can be earlier or later than 18, it depends on his maturity level. You think as soon as he turns 18 he somehow magically becomes a responsible adult?
As long as he is under your roof, you are responsible for what he does. Once he leaves your house, you are no longer responsible before God for what he does.
Heterosexual sex, no. Gay sex, yes.
It is your responsibility as a responsible parent to stop your children(boys or girls) from having sex.
Like every other parent of a child, heterosexual or gay.
What for? He won't get pregnant, and at his age his partners are not likely to be HIV+.
Encourage condom use, but otherwise there's no harm.
Just like parent of a hetrosexual kid.
it's your responsibility as a responsible parent to raise responsible children who will behave responsibly.
A responsible parent knows his responsibilities ALREADY :)
You should have given him a more manly role model. Let him be now. It's your fault or his mother's fault.
Yes.
You don't have children.
Do you?
You can try....
But, believe me, he will find a way if he really wants to.

Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
Paying parents that try to make the payments, you keep on making the payments. You can not help support the whole household that your children live under and support your household as well. I believe that paying parents are being discriminated against and taken advantage of because there are not enough tax incentives to help them survive. I know that some paying parents may make a lot of money than they are paying, but some of them do not make enough to survive. And to all those that are trying to use their children as a control factor over the other, you need to show yourself and your children some respect. Whether you like it or not the other parent will be a part of that child's life someday.Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
Paying parents do have tax incentives. They can claim that child on their taxes.Does child support discriminate against the paying parent?
My biggest complaint has always been that they will enforce payment but will NOT force the custodial parent to allow visitation when it is also court ordered.
Ok you are obviously some guy who dropped his pants,got off and made a kid with someone and are now pissed because you have to pay to help support the child you made.
No one owes you anything,you made a child 1st before you got on with your life,if things are tight with your new family that's too bad,a child should not have to do without so that you can support a family that came after the child you 1st made.
You should have gotten a Snip-Snip-its-Over Vasectomy if you didn't want the financial ';burden'; of paying for a life you helped to create. Kids cost money, and lots of it. I know of too many fathers who worked really hard to keep their assets hidden and to make their earnings seem less than they really were. So, in the end it is the children who suffer because they must go without. This is the flipside of the coin you just introduced to us.
No, it does not discriminate. You made the baby, now you pay if you don't stay married. If that means that you can't maintain two households, that's just too bad.
I agree that using the kids as pawns is extremely poor behavior.
You created the child, it is half your responsibility. You chose to leave. You're still responsible. The custodial parent should not be punished.
actually this is more of a ';men's right';
What makes this case special is that rather than pay the child support (or fail to pay, as often occurs), Dubay, represented by the National Center for Men, has filed a lawsuit in federal court. Dubay claims that he has a right under the Equal Protection Clause of the United States Constitution, to cut off all ties to his unwanted biological child.

Simple, you made the Child, so Pay for the Child. the Child is the only person who has no say in the arguments of the Parents, and if you see fit to walk out on the household, then don't walk out on your Child.hand soap
