ok so i know kids ask this question alot. But i really want a dog and for a really good reason, i have 2 dogs now a bichon frise and a german shepard. the bichon is almost 3 and my shepard is about 14 years old.And i know my old dog doesnt have much longer and in the 2 years we have had our younger dog they have really connected and i dont want my younger dog to be lonley when he goes, so i want to get another dog for my younger dog, so he will have a play mate. and i guess my parents dont understand that idk, but i need some help convincing them, i mean i have a job and can pay but i guess they dont care, so help please. Thank you.
well i know getting one after the older one goes, but i have seen it where dogs who loose there best friend not wanting anything to do with other dogs cuz they are lonley, so i wanted to get my dog used to this one first.
ok there is no need for people saying take care of the other pets, i do and i love them very much, i hate that so adults not all but some think all kids are not responsible enough for dogs and im not selfish i just love animals, is that wrong?

My wife and I come from very dysfunctional families. Our dads have never been in our lives at all, and neither of us are really close to our mothers.

This has made me reluctant to want to have children myself out of fear that I may not get along well with them (or that they may not like me when they are adults).

Does anyone here have a very close/loving relationship with their parents? Or any older parents have a great relationship with their adult children?

My mom raised my brothers and I vegetarian (almost totally vegan) because of her beliefs regarding the killing of animals. However, neither my brothers nor I remained vegetarian.

One of my daughter’s friends (age 10) is being raised vegetarian and my daughter wonders if she will eat meat someday. When I asked her what she thought, she told me that since everyone she knew who was raised vegetarian did not stay that way, that her friend won’t either. I explained that everyone makes different decisions and her friend may be a vegetarian for life.

So now I’m curious if there has been a study of vegetarian families, and how often children of vegetarians choose to eat meat as adults. Were my brothers and I the rule, or the exception?
Reply to J.R.
I started eating meat because I smelled it and it seems much more appetizing than the diet I grew up on. I still appreciate fresh vegetables (my dad is into gardening, I rarely tasted vegetables that weren’t ultra-fresh) but I simply prefer the flavor of meats when given the choice.

Are you glad? How did it work out?
No lectures from "you don’t love your children, " please. This is an inquiry from people with actual exprience.
I have adult friends whose fathers left their familyes. As adults, they looked up their fathers. Now they think that father is god even though he abandoned them 15-20 years ago and the mother made all of the sacrifices.

Some may think the key is not buying them everything they want and that seems logical. I would tend to agree. But here’s where I get confused. I’ve met people who were given nothing and still ended up spoiled, ungrateful adults. While one of my best friends grew up an only child and therefore had just about everything a girl could want or need but she’s a very hard working, unspoiled person. So – if they key isn’t just in not giving them things all the time….then what is the key? How do you raise a child who is GRATEFUL and not spoiled? You see so many kids these days who are given everything and think the world somehow owes them. To me, parents who spoil their children are just doing them a big diservice. The world doesn’t just GIVE you anything. You have to work for things and that’s something I want to instill in my own children.

I was at my gradma’s house yesterday my aunt and uncle have a very awkward relationship with their kids. I know it is not in my place to criticize. They know my cousins friends and boyfriends, all of the kids on the sports teams and their boyfriends and girlfriends, who is going out with who, it seems strange to me. They know more people than I do at my own school and they do not even go there. I find this type of parent child relationship very strange possibley because mopst parents do not even do that. Why is it any adults business what somebodys elses kids are doing when your kids arent even straight in the head. I don’t want my parents to know my friends and their boyfriends and all of the kids in my school and I do not even inquire about.

Am I overreacting or is this strange???
@ Lynn; I personally think that is what it is. they are trying to look cool in the eyes of their kids. I see parents and adults do this too often. it gets to the point that start dressing like teenagers and acting immature. I think that is what it is. I am 16 and I am close to my parents but sharing all of that crap is freaking ridiculous, can;t you be close to your kids without knowing their friends and boyfriends whose business is it besides that other child and their parents. I hate that!!!

Parent B is trying to fight for custody of their child now. But Parent A is trying to get the case dismissed by telling parent B that Parent A hasnt been served yet. But parent B knows that Parent A has been served parent B has the service packet.

I know that this could be a strain on the adults relationship–but is it not better for the child/ren?

The kids are 12 and 16!

I am apalled, shocked, and dumfounded that the overwhelming opinion of the ‘experts’, meaning state employees of the family services, court judges, and lawyers all agree that kids this age should have no say in visitation schedules! The words were – kids do as the parents say, and the parents do what the court says. This means they go to the house they are told, sleep where they are told, visit where they are told, including holiday and weekend schedules. We are not allowed to even discuss it… which is almost impossible since, of course, the kids alway tell me… I want stay here today, or I want to visit there.

Can someone explain this thinking of no child involvement, particularly for kids this age? Also, what is the opinion of kids this age? Also are there any adults who were children of divorce whom were raised "3 days here and four days there:?

Child services says kids "love two homes" and ‘knowing where they have to be". Doesn’t make sense to me! Seems like kids, especially at these ages, need some acknowledgement and inclusion in the discussions… and doesn’t living in two homes feel like always living out of a suitcase and having no real ‘home’?

Please enlighten me! Really, I’m perplexed.
