taking care of a newborn
Posted: 6/28/2009 6:24:36 PM

am a young single mother, i've got of course help from my bf and my family

You are not a single mom
You have a boyfriend who is helping.
You have family who is helping.

A single parent does it on their own! No help from mommy and daddy and no help from a boyfriend or husband!

What you are is a whiner who hasn't figured out how to prioritize and put the child on a schedule.
1. schedule feedings.
2. set a bed time and stick to it
3. spend less time on computer and more time getting shit done
4. first 20-30 minutes of baby sleep should be spent preparing bottles, making phone calls and getting other chores done.
5. nap
6. put away the pity party and get active. there are lots of mom baby groups get your ass out and do stuff besides play the poor poor pitiful me card!

Why are chicks better at the single parent thing?
Posted: 6/17/2009 2:18:08 PM
Dont feel bad.
what takes mom hours to clean and organize takes a boy mere seconds to turn to utter chaos.
Breath, single breath in and a single breath out.
Smile, learn to laugh and keep going

Are You or Did YOU make your kids fat out of guilt?
Posted: 6/15/2009 5:29:06 AM



What most parents fail to realize your kid doesnt like something because
1) you havent let them try it before saying they dont like something

Huh? What does that mean - I'm not following you.


kid looks at something and says I dont like it.
then mom/dad doesnt make them eat it



My son doesn't like cheese on his sandwiches. If he even see's yellow, he's not going to eat it, period. You can try and stuff it down his throat but there's going to be a fight and it's not even worth it.

what a pathetic parent you are. cheese comes in more forms than the plastic yellow excuse for cheese.
Go to a deli and get different kinds of cheeses. experiment, explore.
Your kid already rules the roost.

I am not small by any means...... due to issues in pregnancy and injuries limiting activities.
My 4 yr old son is tiny
he is 42 inches tall, but weighs in at a heft (light) 29lbs
His doctors want him eating 3400-6000 calories or more a day
My doctors want me to eat 1200 calories a day

Together we swim 4-12 hours a week.

Yesterday we went for lunch, he had fish and chips for lunch then when we went to a travel agent she had a big bowl of cucumbers on her desk....... he talked her out of some.

My child is super active, very very skinny, yet can eat like no tomorrow.
There isnt crap in my house. I am the mean mom that makes him eat a variety of "real" foods but do allow for some fast food from time to time.

What most parents fail to realize your kid doesnt like something because
1) you havent let them try it before saying they dont like something
2) you dont like it so you assume they wont
3) you allow them to dictate the menu

Get off your duffs and prepare proper meals and explore the various types of food that are out there. It isnt fair to sally and johnny if you limit the variety of foods are exposed to.
Explore explore explore........ you would be amazed what a kid will eat when hungry!

single senior parents of handicapped adult child
Posted: 6/9/2009 5:32:50 AM
please dont take this the wrong way.

But the time has come to place your son in care.
You should be seriously considering a nursing home or assisted living facility.
At 71 you you have done your time and you need to prepare your "child" for the changes which will happen.
This will give him time to make new friends and readjust to his independant life away from you and you may very well meet a man who is visiting their own children in said facility.

How do I help my daughter?
Posted: 6/7/2009 12:30:09 PM
go ahead deny him overnight access and watch an interested father become an uninterested father OVERNIGHT


She will adjust....... give her time.
remember he isnt her primary care giver
Guess what......... she will cry ....... its normal.

Let them bond their own way
Who cares that he doesnt get her till late in the day........ MAYBE he feels his mom needs special time with her toooooooo

Was I wrong???
Posted: 5/26/2009 9:01:35 PM
Okay professionally your a geek.
So the threat of someone wanting to harm your child because of your career is nil.

As a mom she has the right to do as she please.
Yes you can be annoyed but you dont get to demand she remove them........ why were you spying on your ex anyways?

You have the right to not post his pictures on your page if you so desire.
She isnt harming the child.

You can get all worked up all you want........... in the end it is a moot issue

Now if you said she was posting porn photos of a minor then by all means get upset otherwise leave the woman alone

Moms over the age of 60
Posted: 5/21/2009 5:10:41 AM
genetics say that a man impregnating a woman after he is 40 is increasing the risks to the child.
sperm does come with a best before date.......... AGE 40.

children of fathers over that age have higher chances of physical and mental disorders.

Teen living common law under your roof...
Posted: 5/10/2009 12:18:13 PM
H3LL NO!
any parent stupid enough to allow drugs and alcohol to be abused in their home needs to have their head examined.
If my son tried it, he better hope to god the cops find him before I do.

As for living with a SO before the age of majority.......... Nope.
Dont let the door hit ya, where the good lord split ya.

Parents need to parent.
It isnt your job to be your kids best friend.
Your not their friend you are their parents....figure out the role you should be playing and get it right.

You dont get to decide if your going to pay or not
she simply files court documents and they go after you.
Miss too many payments eventually you go to jail.
If you have good management in place then you can run your business from afar and just make the necessary trips back
Open a branch in her town.
be patient
pregnancy is hard enough without the drama
heck she isnt that far along she can still miscarry

What do you do when rel with teenage kid hits rock bottom?
Posted: 4/16/2009 6:47:56 PM
Okay from what I see your son needs to visit his family doctor.
he is depressed.

Once he is medicated he should go for some psycho therapy.
Get his awe poor me attitude adjusted.

He needs to be given a bill for room and board.
If not paid within 30 days and every 30 days there after then he needs to be evicted.

You might want to encourage him into the military
They can help with attitude adjustments, motivation and providing 3 square meals and a place to sleep.

Otherwise you are enabling him to continue. You have raised a ****. No woman in her right mind would want to marry your son as he is now.
Fix it or he is your problem for life.

You are a funny boy.

Y:es transgender reassignments have cost governments thousands over the years because like the gays it is their right (so they tell us) we are not supposed to tease them cause it hurts their feelings and is a hate crime.
Yes Trub you and I are in big trouble. we cant even call them freaks anymore.

luxury item tax would be nice
5000 sq ft home is small
I have some of my guys working on homes that are 12 000-16 000 sq ft
My boss built a home that is technically 27000 square feet (3 interconnected buildings) but legally they are one builing all connected by underground tunnels. Go figure.... they are all run off one meter. (dont want to see that bill) (did geothermal for heating/cooling)

Some of my least favourite clients to deal with have massive city homes and even larger "cottages" outside the city. I have one client with a house and a cottage they visit the cottage..... by walking to it, only 2 miles down the road. Explain that one.

Recession affecting maintenance
Posted: 4/11/2009 8:23:04 AM


Paying $100 per month support for a kid or kids is a joke. No kid also needs $1500 per month either to survive. Maybe the ceiling amount should be say $1000 per month and if the NCP makes more and would pay more then the NCP can be told pay the $1000 per month support and the rest that they would normally pay should go into an RESP for the kid's education. Support is to be for the kids not for the CP to buy cars and go on vacations.


while I can understand where your coming from.
Remember children cost money hunny........... daycare costs me $800.00 a month(which is cheap in calgary)
so think long and hard about saying that money over a certain level isnt needed.


BTW I support my child 100% on my income. So yes it can be done, but you cut out the extras that others wouldn't think twice about giving their kids

single dads
Posted: 4/11/2009 1:58:01 AM
Long before I became a mom, I dated single fathers.
Infact the man I truely loved the most in my life is a single dad....his kids mean the world to him. They will forever be my little girls in my heart. They are now in university.
I remember how beautiful and full of life they were as young children, and what a hoot we had together with the kids.
Nothing like a tickle fest, or making pizza together.
How a man reacts and behaves with his children tells us women a lot about him.
Would i date another single dad? H3ll yes.
Would I date an older single Dad? H3ll Yes. They tend to have their sh!t together.

To the guy who says he doesnt make enought for the 25-35 crowd, the only thing you should be worried about is do you make enough to pay your bills and properly care for your child? If the answer is NO........ then you have concerns. If the answer is yes, then I say your doing just fine!

Hang in there guys!

H3LL NO
Something isnt sitting right.

your profile says you want to work with animals cause you had them all your life.
Go get a job working for a vet, you can get hired without an education to comb the dogs and scoop the poop. maybe even walk them. Thing is your past the age when being a burden on society is acceptable. get an education.
maybe you will find a good job........ but watching my little boy wouldnt be one of them.

Have you applied for disability for your child?

Check out things like Freecycle. it can be an incredible resource to get and give stuff to others.

Bikes dont have to be brand new just new to the child. If you find one, make sure it is spiffy clean, get a nice helmet and a cool horn for your child......... they wont care it isnt brand spanking new. Besides kids grow........ Let the rich parents pay for new bikes give your child a good working order bike that some spoiled brat outgrew and never used anyways.

Spring/summer is almost here.
Try growing some fresh produce with your c hildren.
Even little things like carrots and radishes can help the budget. If you live in an apartment with a balcony and are short on space, then use a planter boxes and get seeds or seedlings intended for apartment dwellers (potted varieties) they are out there. Home grown produce will save you some cash.

But hang in there

The spagetti because I want to see if the other person can laugh at themselves if they splash the sauce. Their reaction is a great indicator of who they are.

Garlic bread because someone who is so uptight wont dare touch it.

You are 25, Living at home with mommy and daddy.
You couldnt care for yourself and 1 child, please how do you figure you will take care of 2?

It isnt your parents responsibility to watch your kids while you figure out how to grow up and be a responsible parent.

The last thing you should be thinking about is dating for atleast the next 3-5 years. You need to get your house in order.
Until your able to put food on your table. clothing on their backs, a roof over your head (not mommy and daddys roof) you should be focused on those items and teaching your first and second child what a responsible parent does.

Then after this child is born you need to look at making sure you NEVER get pregnant again. Have an abalation, tubes tied or whatever means there is to end this cycle. Because you are failing to teach your oldest what a responsible parent does.

Go ahead get angry....... but reality is you are like so many other single moms (am a single CHOICE mom) you keep repeating the same mistakes time and time again, and are alone time and time again pregnant with more and more kids. That my dear is why so many think that single moms are losers. Until the irresponsible behaviour stops you are among the many losers who keep adding to the problem.

Which tells us your living off the system. Time to grow up and move into a job, save your pennies, do night school........ continue to try for said education but on your own dime.

How do you plan on supporting 2 kids?
Who is going to care for a toddler and a newborn when your in school?

Just one more thing to clarify .....
Posted: 3/20/2009 4:15:19 AM
I would not suggest boarding school per se, but would suggest cadets.
Yes i said it....... MILITARY cadets.
There he will get the discipline you think he needs.

Additionally I would highly suggest counselling services. Either through his current education facility or privately.

Oh and it is a kids perogative to not listen and make parents "twist their arm" to get stuff done.
Kid will say things to upset parents. Doesnt matter if they are 5 or 12 or 19 kids will be kids.

I would also suggest stress counselling for yourself. it can do you a world of good to get this crap off your chest to a professional who can help guide you


You are wondering why I am say no boarding school.
Most of my friends who attended boarding school have more resentment towards their parents as adults than those who didnt.
They have repeatedly expressed that their parents sent them off so they wouldnt have to "raise" them and they frequently ask "why did my parents send me away? Didnt they love me enough to want me around? I thought parents were supposed to want their kids around?" etc
You think you have issues with him now, send him away and see how much stronger his resentment is.

OP

I loved ND as a young woman, the books like you recall were very well written.
I have turned another young woman onto them because like the one you mention she has gotten a bit sidetracted with all that has happened in her life.

ND books are wonderful as they require thinking and some problem solving, they show it is okay for girls to be very smart, active and do and learn many things.


I say if your going to turn her onto them get her 1-2 and put them in her easter basket that you will be making up for her. Like other suggested maybe also get her a journal and some of those funky coloured gel pens. Limit the candy and give her "special" things that dont cost much if you wish to give her something special for easter and maybe you can write a note inside a book you buy her explaining how you loved this book when you were her age.


Good luck with your mentoring!

Why is hard for women to accept men with children?

Hey 76
Not all women are turned off on men with kids.
Personally I would love to find a responsible father who is doing right by his kids.
I have always dated single fathers. Come to think of it.

Unfortunately you are just picking the wrong women. Sometimes it can be very difficult to find the right one. But hang in there, it will get better.

Any person with 2 brain cells to rub together knows if you are lost you set up camp the best you can, you use everything in your power to indicate your lost. You dont put out an SOS then walk away.

They were dumb turds.
Go into out of bounds only carrying 2 granola bars.

Anyone with 2 brains cells knows you carry more than that.
Why didnt they have emergency locator beacons?
Where was their matches?
Where was their solar blankets?
Why no cell phone at the very least?
What about a first aid kit?
hand warmer hot packs?

Dude accept responsibility you murdered your wife by your actions.

As for the 2 stupid calgarians, Darwin awards will be presented to your family on your behave.

Must say suicide by avalanche is getting to be so popular this yr. Insurance should deny life insurance benefits to these stupid people.

Should Single Parents be allowed to have invitro?
Posted: 3/7/2009 2:59:29 PM
The State of California needs to seize all 14 children and place them for adoption

The mother needs to be sent for psychiatric care.

Did anyone listen to the audio of when she threatened to commit suicide because he 5 yr old went for a walk with grandma and she didnt know
She has repeatedly called 911 because she misplaced a child.

She needs mental help.
Then add into the fact she has had surgery to make her look more like Angelina J.
this woman is clearly a danger to herself and those children.





I had a prem also. They hospital would force me to leave his bed side to eat and sleep.
that is the norm for normal parents.

Wonderful child care provider but........boundaries?
Posted: 3/7/2009 10:51:16 AM
Jaxi.

First lets try an experiment for 1 week
Dont let your kid kiss you on your mouth.
Try your hardest to avoid said kisses, and see how many times the kid still manages to get you on the mouth.


Secondly if it is that big of a deal to you then speak up, stop cowering in a corner.
your a parent act like one and speak out to the person who is doing something to or with your child.
Most likely she will as your child to leave her care because your freaking out over something trivial. But it is her right. Remember this is her livelyhood and you dont want people telling you how to do your job, neither does she........ especially if she isnt hurting said child.

Think long and hard, pick your battles accordingly

I wish you americans could understand the economic status of this city

Unlike most of the US, teens here can make 15/hr working for McPuke...... so trying to get someone to watch a baby for 3-5 bucks an hour will get you laughed at.

Honestly her best bet is to do an exchange of babysitting with another mom.
Cause for her to go to the bar she is easily looking at 50-100 for a sitter for the night.

Sucks hun........ well that is our reality.

Sara,

I tried messaging you.

But in Calgary rates for babysitters range from 7-15/hr
I pay my sitter 15 for watching mine.......
Most of the time however I trade babysitting with other moms.
It makes it affordable..... cause otherwise your screwed finacially when you have to pay an arm and a leg to go out.

give me a hollar if you want

Explaining why I'm a single mother

Do you want the answer?

Unfortunately my childs father was suffering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder due to the fact that he served bravely for the country we love and call home.
As a direct result this has left him unable to cope very well. He is a good man, unfortunately his service to provide my son and I with the best world to live in has cost us all dearly.


End of story.
Never say anything more, they dont need anything else
