I want to talk to a parent about her son's well-being, but I'm more familiar with the kid than the parent. I don't know what sort of reaction the parent will have. Any pointers?Parents, How would you feel if someone suggested your child seek professional help for depression?
Remember first that no good deed goes unpunished.
Prepare for an angry response, so that you can create a positive one.
Cite specific examples of the behaviors you are witnessing. Keep any judgments or dramatics in your explanations to a minimum at most.
Cite specific sources of references to support your view that these behaviors are depressed.
Have specific resources available for you to recommend to them to assist them with help.
Keep your words and tone casual and so that you can give them as much dignity as possible. Keep any sense of urgency out of your tone and words.
Remember also that doing the right thing is tough. It becomes more so when dealing with parents and their children. Parents will take offense where none is given and be more illogically defensive. It seems you know this all ready and are anticipating this from the way posed your question.
Good luck and proceed lightly and with information. Good for you for helping this child. His life will be the better for your help.Parents, How would you feel if someone suggested your child seek professional help for depression?
Go with your gut. Maybe instead of suggesting they seek professional help, just suggest the idea that the child might be suffering from depression.
Different people have different feelings about therapy and such. Some think that if someone is seeing a ';shrink'; then there's something wrong with them and could take it personally. Others understand that talking to a therapist or psychiatrist can really be helpful.
Personally, I would approach the parents in a way that makes them feel that they don't need to get defensive, but rather that your only intentions are to help their child.
In your place I'd describe the symptoms you see, and suggest the parent might want to mention it to a pediatrician, rather than venturing a diagnosis yourself, unless you're a medical professional. I have personally experienced, and had friends who experienced, people declaring diagnoses for their children that turned out to be wildly wrong and stressed us out considerably. I'd be fine with someone noting that my child seemed very quiet or didn't participate in activities or something ... and I'd follow up on it. But I'd have a problem with a non-professional announcing that my child was depressed, or adhd, or whatever.
It depends. What is your relationship with the child? What kind of signs did you see in his behavior that would point to depression? Are you educated on this topic?
If you strongly feel that it's your place to make suggestions then go ahead. You may not get the reaction you're looking for, but if you feel confident that the boy needs help then do it. At least you'll be able to go to bed at night knowing you tried.
If it were my child I would consider the source. Although I think I would notice it before another random person. I would educate myself as much as possible and go from there.
Oh boy, that's a tough one. Personally, I would be incredibly thankful for their bringing it to my attention. But I know from experience that some people can immediately get so defensive if you say anything that might possibly in any way cast a negative light on their parenting. So proceed cautiously. Maybe you could bring this to the attention of the school counselor or principal first. One of them may know the mother better, and be able to give you some advice on how to proceed. It may even prompt one of the school professionals to talk to the boy or to the mom about it.
Tell the parent you are worried about their kid and maybe talk to the school. Does the kid's parents ignore him a lot. My sister has depression and we found out through the school. Then she started cutting. I would talk to the school/parent immediately. It could get serious and resort to suicide.

How can i become emancipated from my parents?
I am 21 and applying for college loans. But my parents finances keep coming in to play. I am the only one paying all of my bill, they are not paying for anything. Is there a way I can emancipate myself from them and their finances? Otherwise... I dont think I can go to college, I live alone. Any ideas anyone?How can i become emancipated from my parents?
Being granted an ';emancipation'; from your parents by the state won't automatically make you eligible to receive Federal Student Aid as an independent student. However, it sounds like you are a good candidate for a Dependency Override, which is an override that only your Financial Aid Office can perform.
Here's how the override works:
Technically, you can't be considered independent unless ...
* you are 24 or older
* you are married
* you have dependents other than a spouse
* you are a veteran of the US armed forces
* you are an orphan or ward of the court
* you are pursuing an advanced degree
* you have a prior bachelor's degree
However, we all know that there really are cases in which a ';technically'; dependent student is really independent. There ARE provisions in the Federal Student Aid regulations that allow for a school (not the feds or the student) to make exceptions to a student's depdendency status. Most schools will make exceptions in cases of abuse or the death of the students' parents. Many schools will also make exceptions if you can document that you truly are completely self-suffient. You will need to submit proof that the following statements have been true of your situation for a while (usually about 2 years)...
* your parents don't claim you on their tax return
* you pay for your own housing, food, utilities, etc.
* you pay for your own health insurance
* you pay for your own transportation (and, if you have a car, the car insurance)
* you don't receive any other in-kind support
If you think you can submit this information, give your school a call and ask them what their specific policy is. They should have one in place and you have every right to know what it is.
Remember: if you submit fraudulent information your school can deny you aid and you may be subject to other penalties. And remember that covering your tracks doesn't simply stop at your tax return: your school's financial aid office can request just about anything if it believes that it has received conflicting information.
Your school has a reason to be picky when it comes to these things: Financial Aid offices are subject to annual audits. If their auditors pull your file and notice that undocumented exceptions to your dependency status have been made, their ability to give financial aid (to anyone, including you) can be seriously jeopardized.
Please, don't get married just to be considered ';independent'; on your FAFSA -- you'd be setting yourself up for failure by cheating the system. (And -- HELLO! -- you'd be getting *married*. When did that stop being a life-changing decision?)How can i become emancipated from my parents?
My friend did this by saying that he couldn't speak to his parents because of abuse and so on. It worked for him, but it's not the ';right'; way of doing things. ;)
By the way, I had this problem when I started going to school (before I got married). Getting emancipated won't work, you already are legally emancipated because you're 18. Living on your own or having your own finanical records won't work either, because I was living on my own for a year before I started school. Even my parents being in Mexico for several months before and after I did the FAFSA didn't make a difference.
Bottom line is you have to have children, get married, get abused, or join the military.
Yes, you can become emancipated. You will need an attorney to draw up a motion requesting your emancipation and the reason for the request. Upon the judge reading your motion your attorney will submit an order for the judge to sign which will officially emancipate you for financial purposes. Also, talk with the college you are planning on attending, and let them know the situation. You are not the first person to go through this and they may be able to offer you some guidance. Good Luck!
Simple! For TWO consecutive years you must not have lived with them, they could NOT have been your main source of support, and they can not have claimed you as a dependent on their taxes. If all three of these conditions exist in your case, you are condisered ';independent'; and are elible for financial aid and student loans.
Note: You well may be required to prove that all three conditions are accurate. Your parents and you may need to submit copies of your income taxes for the past two years. Also, you may have to show that you were not living with them for that time period as well. To do this, you may be asked to produce things mailed to you at your, not their, address during that time period.
Good luck.
How do I know if my student needs to provide parental information on the FAFSA?
The FAFSA asks seven very specific questions to determine whether parental information needs to be included on the application. The criteria have been established by the federal government. The seven questions to be answered by your student are:
Were you born before January 1, 1983?
At the beginning of the 2006-2007 school year, will you be working on a master's or doctorate program (such as an MA, MBA, MD, JD, Phd, EdD, or graduate certificate, etc.)?
As of today, are you married? (Answer ';Yes'; if you are separated but not divorced.) This refers to the date the FAFSA is submitted.
Do you have children who receive more than half of their support from you?
Do you have dependents (other than your children or spouse) who live with you and who receive more than half of their support from you, now and through June 30, 2007?
Are both of your parents deceased, or are you (or were you until age 18) a ward/dependent of the court?
Are you a veteran of the U.S. Armed Forces?
Students who answer ';no'; to all the above questions must provide parental information on the 2006-07 FAFSA--even if you do not claim your student on your taxes.
';Emancipated'; is not the word you are looking for. After you are 18, emancipation is completely pointless, and the only reason anyone gets emancipated is so they can be responsible for themselves, and not have their parents be responsible for them. And you can probably go to your bank or something, and talk to them about the finance part, or you could always talk to your parents. G-1
The only thing you can do is get married to someone with no job. Trust me, unfortunately it is the ONLY loophole.
If you don't try to cheat us it is a problem that you have to handle with care! Find a part time job or other kind of LEGAL money!
You don't need to be emancipated what you should do is move I believe it is 100 km from your parents home and that way you do not have to divorce your parents. Or you could hire a lawyer and go throught the divorce process with your parents. Either way good luck
Since you are 21, live alone, and pay your own bills there should not be an issue. Is anything you have in their name, such as a car? If not, present all your independence in the applications.
Best Wishes.
A lot people consider this, I know I did. You have to be a minor to be emancipated, you are too old. You will be considered independent in the eyes of FAFSA if you get married, have a child, or are a veteran. I know that isn't an easy answer, but maybe it will work out for you. You can also wait until you are 24. I got married :).
Are they claiming you on their taxes? If you live alone, their money has nothing to do with yours.
yes you need to get the paper work fro mthe city board and go in front of a judge. its not that hard probably a few days . explain to him what is going on and you can get emancipated form them good luck!

How to keep my pets from my parents?
I want to have pets in my house but my parents doesn't allow me to have one...
My house isn't really big and just 1 floor..
What pets is the easyest to hide and how can I hide it?How to keep my pets from my parents?
Aquarium, with goldfish. You can't hide it, but your parents might be lenient, since the goldfish will stay put and not run around the house.How to keep my pets from my parents?
you should not hide them from your parents but if you really want to then get a dwarf hamster and hide it under the bed or in the closet
get a hamster
Thats not really a good idea. You WILL get caught eventually. Its not right to coop any animal in a to tiny cage and hide it where it will never come out or have air. Try to convince your parents about how much you want one. Get a small fish or frog. They are super easy to care for. Or get a mouse because they are tiny but they MUST have a cage. Not a box because they chew a lot!
I wouldn't try to hide pets from your parents, they will eventually find out, trust me. Then you will have to find the pet another home. Instead, try to show them you are responsible and ready for a pet by doing research and showing them how much you know about it and how to care for it. If they still won't allow a pet, you could volunteer at a local Humane Society or get a job working with animals like a pet shop. Then you can have contact and enjoy being around them, but won't have to keep them in your house.
preferably something you can keep in a cage....like a bird, or a hamster or guinea pig. Nothing too big.
And what happens when (not if) they do find it?
Will you have to give it away?
Take it to a shelter?
Or will they simply ask you to release it into the wild?
All cruel things to do to an animal.
Listen to your parents.
you will be on the dirt list if you bypass your parents orders and sneak something in...once you lose their trust, life can be over as you know it, just wait, or reintroduce the subject later and mention a few small, easy care pets they may approve of.
snakes are really good cause they like dark and smalls places so they are really easy to hid ( trust me ive done it befor but my sis told on me :S)

How do you write a letter to parents whose child is diagnosed with down syndrome?
for biology class we are studying chromosomes and some effects tic of genetic disorders and such. we were given chromosomes to organize and set up into different groups. on my karyotype i noticed i had an extra chromosome on 21. I am to pretend to be a doctor who has to diagnose their son with down syndrome and inform them through a letter. ... but i don't know how to start the letter... what do i say. it can't be too complicated or too simple. if your child was diagnosed with down syndrome, what would you need to be told to get through this hardship?How do you write a letter to parents whose child is diagnosed with down syndrome?
Definitely face to face..If you have to write a letter be specific and gentle,like:

Dr. ______
For one thing, dont assume its a hardship or a challenge - for all you know those people might see a child - with downs or not - as a blessing.
Write it from an objective perspective - that you are writng to inform them of the results of thier genetic screening, that the tests revealed thier child will have downs sysndrome, and that they may need to make arrangements for this unforseen occurance. And that if they would like to consult with those who may be able to help them prepare for this child, that you would be willing to make references.
You really can't take a stance of judgement, as a doctor that would open you to malpractice.
You cant put in too much emotion make sure you mention support groups and that people with Downs can lead fairly normal lives
Dear parents of _________,
We're deeply sorry to inform you that your son, _____ has been diagnosed with down syndrome.
Something like that then talk about treatments and other stuff. end it like this:
Sorry for the inconvenience and the grief. Best wishes to _____ and your family.
Sincerely,
___________
good luck with the assignment.
Well that is something that would be diagnosed at birth, so you could tell them that there are varying degrees of downs syndrome, and they should try to teach the child and treat him like a normal child. That there is a possibility he can live a fairly normal life if he gets therapy and special teachers early on. There child may range from being severely mentally retarded to very mild, and also they will have a tendency to have heart problems and will need to watch their weight closely in the future.
you would never want to write such a letter...face to face under these circumstances...
Start off gentle. Make sure you are clear, concise and to the point. Nobody wants a Dr. that beats around the bush. Sir/Ma'am I am sorry to inform you that you child is/will be....

What influence does the relationship with a parent have on one鈥檚 choosing a spouse?
Just something I need to know.
Don't answer my question with another question asking me 'why do you need to know?' or anything of the such %26amp; if you're here just to waste space, go away and mess with someone else.
Thank you!What influence does the relationship with a parent have on one鈥檚 choosing a spouse?
If you have good relationship with your parents it could have a huge influence on your choice. As children we model what we see - If you see a loving relationship and friendship between your parents, chances are you will seek that out. If you saw violence, chance are you will also, seek that you. I tell my grade 12 students - if your friends/family don't like your choice of boyfriend/girlfriend chances are there is a reason - because they are thinking logically and have nothing invested but your best interest. You have to think about spending a significant amount of time with both the person who you are considering a relationship with and your family.What influence does the relationship with a parent have on one鈥檚 choosing a spouse?
your relationship with your parents influence your relationship with everyone around you.
Just an example:
If you're very distant, meaning no communication or bonding, it will be very hard for you to do this with friends and significant others.
...hope i helped :)
Girls tend to marry their fathers, and boys tend to marry their mothers. By that, I mean that girls tend to marry men that are like their fathers, while boys tend to marry women that are like their mothers.

When are the interest rates of a parent PLUS loan start to be accrued?
Same question goes to Direct, Subsidized loans. And what does it mean that the Department of Education will pay the interest for the direct subsidized loan?When are the interest rates of a parent PLUS loan start to be accrued?
The interest on PLUS loans begins accruing as soon as the loan disburses. Payments begin 45 days after full disbursement. If you enroll fall/winter, then the PLUS will enter repayment in March. The PLUS is still the best loan option available to assist with student college expenses when scholarships, grants and student loans are not enough.
The interest on subsidized loans is paid by the federal government as long as the student remains enrolled at least half-time. Once the student is no longer enrolled at least half time, interest begins accruing and payments on student loans begin six months later (9 months on Perkins loans). You will receive information about the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans when you do your Entrance Loan Counseling. Your financial aid office will tell you how to do that.

Once the student is no longer enrolled at least half time, interest begins accruing and payments on student loans begin six months later (9 months on Perkins loans). You will receive information about the difference between subsidized and unsubsidized loans when you do your Entrance Loan Counseling. Your financial aid office will tell you how to do that.

Parents: How do you ask guests to take off their shoes before coming into your home?
Hi There!
We are having a party this Saturday. And we will be having people coming in and out of the house. We also have a 9 1/2 month old that is crawling and picks up everything and puts it into his mouth. We have oak trees everywere and the acorns and leaves come in all the time. And we also have a driveway with little rocks that track in! Is there a nice way without offending anybody to have them take off their shoes when they come in???
Thanks for the help!
JenniferParents: How do you ask guests to take off their shoes before coming into your home?
this reminds me of that episode of sex %26amp; the city..where carrie's shoes got stolen.
Actually, I always take my shoes off at anyone's house. I feel it's a respect thing.
I have been to a party where a girl got new carpets for her condo. She met everyone at the door and said ';You have to take your shoes off, I just got new carpets.'; It wasn't rude, just direct.
Just say ';We have a baby, and ask that you take off your shoes.';
No one should get too offended. Sure, they may talk about you on the car ride home. But it is your house.
Just make sure no one's expensive shoes get swiped! haha
***and to the girl who said it was an American Tradition to leave shoes on inside, that is far too sweeping.
It's not an American tradition.
None of my family or friends leave shoes on inside. They always remove them at the door.Parents: How do you ask guests to take off their shoes before coming into your home?
exactly what you said in your answer is exactly what you should say to your guess.maybe you should say or explain it in advance so they know what to expect before they come.If they get offended then they do not belongs to your party much less your home.. hope this helps. enjoy your party!
Just line up some shoes by the front door. Then when they come in ask them to please remove theirs too. Also when they RSVP ask them to bring nice socks. Good luck to you.
No one really gets offended if you ask them to please remove their shoes when they come in. Just be polite when you ask, and no explanation should be necessary.
put a sign on the door that says ';please remove your shoes';
We puchased a new home 5 years ago and moved in before the outside was finished we live in ga with red mud which stains I started asking guest to pull off there shoes at the door no one complained now when the same guest come to our home they automatically pull off there shoes so I don't think your guest will mind if they do and leave you didn't need them there anyway good luck and have a great party.
All I do is simply ask if they do not pick up on the clues. There is a pile of shoes at the door that is our first clue that no shoes are allowed. The next clue is my sign that hangs directly above the shoe pile. Also when I open the door I am usually in my socks. Most people will see this and automatically take their shoes off. If they do not before I let them in the house I just point to the shoe pile and say ';could you just take your shoes off and leave them their we do the no shoes in the house thing.'; Nobody as ever objected and all regular visitors have their shoes off before I even open the door.
This is an American tradition, leaving shoes on...in Canada, you check your shoes at the door.
I'd suggest leaving a mat in your entryway, and make a little sign that says 'kindly remove your shoes, please' in plain view. Some people may get a bit offended...you can't control that. :)
Put a sign on the door that way you don't have to say anything.
Definitely just ask! A friend has a bunch of pairs of cool slippers, flip flops and house shoes by their front door that their guests can put on instead of wearing their street shoes in the house... I can't imagine anyone being offended by your request!
(Have a fun party!)
The lady I used to babysit for just had a cute little sign on the door that politely asked that shoes be removed. You could put something like ';Little one on the floor, Please leave your shoes at the door!';
Then, as mentioned, line some shoes up so that they follow cue! No one should be offended by a polite request!
leave a board at the entrance saying please leave ur shoes here. thank you. and leave ur 3-4 pairs of shoes there so that people realise u mean buisness and everybody is doing it. set up a shoe rack so that it doesn't look that bad or messy.
if somebody is still wearing it, kindly explain them the same thing, and ask them to remove their shoes.
i hate it anyways that people walk in the house with their shoes on, its really very disrespectful whether u have a toddler or not!!
just say ';can you take off your shoes?'; its really easy, they have to respect the rules of your house!
As everyone else has said, all you need to do is request that people take their shoes off! If you can find a location by the door, either in the entry way or maybe right outside the door with a chair (that would be greatly appreciated, I'm sure, by most people) then there's a designated place for them to leave the shoes where they're not all crammed in one corner of the doorway, making it difficult for guests to get in and out of the house. I don't know hardly anybody that would feel offended. I think, personally, that people just leave their shoes on because it's just easier to not have to take them on and off, not because they truly are desiring to wear them! Hope it goes well for you. And don't forget that chair. :)
Just ask them if they wouldn't mind removing their shoes as you have the little one crawling around. That wouldn't offend me at all! I would want to help protect the baby all I can.
I'd call them and tell them about the socks- so nobody is taken off-guard.
I'd leave a note on the door as they enter saying, ';Youngling on the loose, please remove your shoes...'; or something to that effect so that they get the reminder and you won't be the one saying it.
Have a good time!
People who own multimillion dollar yachts have house slippers that guests can slip into before entering the cabin... and they don't think twice about telling the guests to USE them.
Put up a little note at the front door, something simple that will let people know you have a crawler about. ';Please remove your shoes, _________ is on the move!!';
Do not feel bad about requesting this of your guests! Have a shoe rack with YOUR shoes in it already and a sign posted politely requesting that shoes be taken off before entering the rest of the house.
Remember, this is YOUR house with YOUR family and YOUR rules!
Put a note on the front door asking people to take off their shoes. They'll see it when they come through the door. They should understand because your baby is more important than their shoes. I'm right there with you, and for the past couple of months I have been telling visitors that we will ';soon be'; requiring people to take off their shoes. That's that. And maybe you should mention something on the invitation so that they are prepared. Also when someone rsvp's to the party, mention it again. Goodluck!
just tell them to take them off if they dont understand then tell them to leave thats what i do
I would just politely ask. Just say would you mind taking off your shoes.
You will be suprised, it wont bother people like you think it will.
we have a friend that we go to their house to have bible study so they just put a sign by the door or on the door that says ';we have a little one crawling around, please take off your shoes.'; its a nice way to put it and no one gets offended.

What are some characteristics of a good parent?
I am taking a research class and would like people to list as many characteristics as possible. Thank you!What are some characteristics of a good parent?
1. BE CONSISTENT---a good parent will correct a child each time that child does the same thing wrong---the parent will not correct him once and then NOT the next time....
2. Unconditional love---you can't tell your child that unless he gets his hair cut the way YOU want it that he is not allowed back into your house....you love this child long hair or short---pants that look like they are about to fall off or not.. All kids try different hair styles, clothes, to try to find out who THEY are---if your son comes home all GOTHed up, leave him be as long as you believe him to be a good kid----it's a fad and fads FADE....
3. NEVER MAKE A PROMISE YOU CAN'T KEEP..... that's a biggie!!!! Kids have to know that their parents mean what they say----if they say they will BE somewhere for the kid and they do not show, the kid deservingly gets upset and HURT....
4. NEVER give the child a PUNISHMENT you can't follow through with---and NEVER go against the OTHER parent when they discipline a child (unless that other parent is BEATING or abusing the child)... in other words---Mom grounds her 12 year old daughter for taking the car keys and driving the car around the block---Dad comes home---LAUGHS at what the daughter did and tells his daughter she CAN go to the mall or whatever.... NOT GOOD PARENTING---
5. Do as you SAY, not as you DO....don't tell a kid he can't smoke and drink and then go sit in the living room with a butt hanging out of your mouth and a beer for each hand...that is NOT setting a good example for your child.
6. BELIEVE IN YOUR CHILDREN.... almost as big as # 3, but if your child tells you something, don't always assume he or she is LYING to you.... but, if you DO this and find out the child was being TRUTHFUL, ALWAYS APOLOGIZE.... parents aren't perfect any more then kids are---....What are some characteristics of a good parent?
Nurtures
Makes a safe environment
Builds self esteem
Provides a good diet
Sets reasonable limits
Reads to their child
Plays with their child
Instills values
Is consistent
Encourages their child's dreams
Listens
Expresses love verbally and demonstratively
Respects a child's individuality
Kisses a boo boo
A good parent should let their child fail! Failure is a learning experience.
Here are a few examples:
Don't do their homework.
Don't talk to the coach so they can play.
Do give them guidance on how to succeed and comfort them when they fail.
Teach them that failure is a part of life and that EVERYONE fails. Don't give in so much to the ';self esteem'; that you don't teach them how to handle things when they go wrong.
Someone who follows through on what they say, someone who is a good example/does that which they tell their children to do, one who spends a lot of time with their children
Good parents will GUIDE you, but will not try to force their own views on you. We all need to follow our own roads and learn our own lessons, so good parents will tell their children to seek their own paths. However, because parents have ';been there and done that';, it's wise of them to alert their kids to the pitfalls of life, and to offer advice, protection and help when it's needed. If kids are guided through their formative years by wise parents, they will end up with confidence and a healthy sense of self...not just mirror images of the parents.

What are good ways to convince my parents to let me get my nose peirced soon?
I'm 16 and really want my nose peirced but they said no! What's good ways to convince them?What are good ways to convince my parents to let me get my nose peirced soon?
Okay you won't get an infection if you get it done and then take it out.... that's crazy talk.
Also don't lie about it, just be striaght forward, going out and just getting it done is only going to make it worse. My advice is to talk to your parents about it. Point out facts... like how is it any different than getting your ears peirced? and it's not permanent it can be taken out without any damage done, and how it is normal it is to see people with nose peircings. Also let them know that if the only thing they have to worry about is you wanting to get your nose peirced then they are better off than many parents out there who have children with drug and alcohol addictions.... anyway that's my advice!!What are good ways to convince my parents to let me get my nose peirced soon?
Dont it hurts!!!!
Don't tell them and get a really tiny stud. clear stud.
Idk. Ask them please. I'll be really good and I'll try to be nicer and i'll to chores for you.
Tell them that you'll pay for it and you'll be really careful with it and clean it so it won't get infected etc.
If they still say no , just tell them that you will get it either way when you're 18 :P
I wasn't allowed mine done and nearly a year ago I pierced it myself and it's been fine and I was allowed to keep it
:)
Probably don't let them read the following:
';As a gold nose ring in the snout of a pig, so is a woman that is pretty but is turning away from sensibleness.';
Proverbs Chap 11, verse 22.
ask them what the big deal oof a nose job is and tell them that either way your gonna get one wen u move out also tell them its not gonna be that notacible it worked with my parents when i got my eyebrow pierced
Just tell them u want 1 really bad and u have ur heart set on it and tell them that u think ur mature enough now 2 finally get 1 and that its not really a big deal b/c as long as u take very good care of it it will not get infected and that u r willing to commit 2 taking very good care of it (since it is ur body and all lol) thats wut i said 2 my parents when i wanted 2 get a labret piercing and after a few days they agreed and they actually really the way it looks :) hope i helped and good luck
Just go and get it done if you want it that bad. If they ask you to take it out, just say the place told you not to, and you'll get an infection... because you will! Ha.
But if you want to be cool with your parents, do things that can earn their trust. Ask them when you're all at dinner and tell them how you're older now, and you think you should be able to make this decision for yourself.
Either way, you should get what you want sooner or later.
Good luck!

What is 20 reasons to convince my parents to get text message?
My dad said that he will get me a text plan if i gave him 20 good convincing reasons to get it. If this will help you come up with ideas i have at%26amp;t.What is 20 reasons to convince my parents to get text message?
your out of luck, because i dont really think that there are that many reasons.What is 20 reasons to convince my parents to get text message?
In a noisy situation you can understand what the message is.
you can text hard of hearing and deaf friends. prepare to name those friends.
if you are using text a lot, it is cheaper.
if you are in a situation where you can't answer the phone right away you can at least receive any emergency messages from family to decide to answer or call back now or later.
you won't use it to cheat on your test questions.
you won't use it while driving. always pull over to read it and use it.
I think you may wind up putting a lot of what you won't do in there for reasons. As a dad myself I think I could go the ';shalt not's'; as reasons as well as ';will do's';
Hope this gives you a good start.
One good answer: You'll stop bugging them for it.
Texting is mostly for contacting friends, since no one seems to talk on the phone anymore, but it's also useful. When your parents are at work, and can't stop to talk on the phone, you can text them to see how they're doing, or there is an emergency. It's also less awkward to text than talking on he phone, if you're chatting about something in that area.
That's all I have for you, good luck!
OhKay!
1. in case of emergency
2. if ur at a store u txt them if they need nething

sorry this is all i can think of for 20
umm here's a few:
1. it'll help you keep in touch with your friends over the summer.
2. you can get important alerts from news stations (just so you can act like you're actually using it for something important.)
3. no one really calls people anymore, texting is a lot easier.
4. if he gets texting too, you can stay in touch if you go out and need a ride or something.
5. when you're older you can offer to help pay for it.
6. it'll make you happy :)
haha idk i ran out of ideas.
a great way to connect with friends, noone likes talking on the phone these days
texts let you think of what to say before you say it, that way you can make sure the convo doesn't get akward

idk... i dont think they would fall for anytthing involving how you want to talk to your friends so i hope i helped atleast a little?
you will be able to text as much as you want without worrying about going over
if you send over 100 text messages a month, it pays for itself
it includes MMS (multimedia messaging)

that if you're in a sticky situation you can always text him
that it's better value than pay and go
you text alot an need it so you won't pay too much
in an emergency you can text for help and dont have to worry about credit
communicate
emergency
entertainment
fun
amusement
safety
if ur busy andcant call
your out of luck, because i dont really think that there are that many reasons.What is 20 reasons to convince my parents to get text message?
In a noisy situation you can understand what the message is.
you can text hard of hearing and deaf friends. prepare to name those friends.
if you are using text a lot, it is cheaper.
if you are in a situation where you can't answer the phone right away you can at least receive any emergency messages from family to decide to answer or call back now or later.
you won't use it to cheat on your test questions.
you won't use it while driving. always pull over to read it and use it.
I think you may wind up putting a lot of what you won't do in there for reasons. As a dad myself I think I could go the ';shalt not's'; as reasons as well as ';will do's';
Hope this gives you a good start.
One good answer: You'll stop bugging them for it.
Texting is mostly for contacting friends, since no one seems to talk on the phone anymore, but it's also useful. When your parents are at work, and can't stop to talk on the phone, you can text them to see how they're doing, or there is an emergency. It's also less awkward to text than talking on he phone, if you're chatting about something in that area.
That's all I have for you, good luck!

What can I do to stop my parent from stealing my money from my custodial bank account?
My father is stealing my hard earned money i have saved up from working for a year for a car, what can I do?What can I do to stop my parent from stealing my money from my custodial bank account?
I don't see how you can stop him but you should stop depositing your money. Get someone else, mother, grandparent or someone to allow you to use their bank account or just buy savings bonds for you or keep the cash.
You would have to sue your dad and if you live with him that can make it miserable.What can I do to stop my parent from stealing my money from my custodial bank account?
Talk to your dad and find out why he is taking this. If he is unemployed, maybe he is using the money to keep a roof over both of your heads, in which case, you might need to let it go. Or, maybe he thinks you are doing something bad with the money.
If he doesn't give you an acceptable answers, you only have a couple fo choices. Sue him to get it back. Open up a savings account in only your name and put your deposits there instead. If he is not listed on that account, he can't withdraw anything.
If he is a custodian by court order, you could also go to family court and ask them to intervene and help.
All good suggestions above. But keep in mind that your Dad feeds you, clothes you, puts a roof over your head, pays for your schooling and does more things that I can mention. Does he charge you room and board? Does he make you pay for clothing and the like? Utilities? It sucks that he's taking money out of your account, but if you feel yo would be better off not living with your Dad, move out. Good luck.
Some banks offer a student savings account that does not require a custodian/guardian to sign on the account...the account would be in your name only. Call around to local banks in your area to see if they offer it.
~~Unfortunately nothing until you close this account. Do you have another trusted relative that would sign with you, and not touch your money? If so use them. Sorry you have to deal with this!~~
Find another adult you trust and open an account with them.
If you are 16, the bank may let you open your own account...ask several banks.
Don't tell your Dad about the new account.

What's the best way to convince parents to let you have a small dog?
I'm 18 and old enough to adopt a dog, I want a small one. I can pay for everything and all I basically need is the O.K from them. I was considering writing a letter but I don't know. They are pretty strict but I know anything is possible I just gotta do the right things. I work at PetSmart so everything is really cheap for me. Any suggestions?What's the best way to convince parents to let you have a small dog?
So, basically, the problem is, your parents are kind of like the landlords? You have the job, you can financially support the dog, but still living under their roof, you need approval. Correct?
Do you pay them any rent? Whether or not you do, I'd offer them a monthly ';pet deposit'; in returns for keeping the dog. Normally, if you had a real, non-family member landlord, you'd probably have to pay a pet deposit, if they allowed you to have a pet. Even just $50 should be sufficient (while in your parents' home). You can write a letter, or flat-out approach them, maybe with an adoption application in hand (if the rescue has a website, you can sometimes print their adoption application). Remind them that, as property owners, they have to OK things like this, but that you will be financially responsible for the dog.
Kudos for working at Petsmart-gotta love that store, plus, it shows how animal-oriented you are. :o) Good Luck with the dog!What's the best way to convince parents to let you have a small dog?
well i think that you shoud tell your parents that you have proved to them that you are responsilble enough to have a dog...you already have a job so why not let you have a dog. you should be like i am going to buy whatever it needs and i will pick up after it and if i dont follow through with it then the dog will go.
Just ask.. point out the fact that you work and can pay for it. if they still say no, well, its their house. It may be best to wait until you are on your own, so you know that you can afford housing for yourself and the dog.
A long history of taking responsibility seriously.
Maybe dog sit for someone to show them you can do it.
okay so ask them and before they can answer start telling them about good things you do such as chores,good grades,etc. and that you are responsible and you have the money to take care of it so they dont have to worry about any thing ...good luckprofessional makeup

How can I find out whether my parents have installed parental spyware?
Can parents install it through wiFi if they've never had access to the computer? If they have had access, how do i tell if they've installed the sofware?How can I find out whether my parents have installed parental spyware?
Without access to an account on the computer, it cannot be installed normally.
If it has been installed, you can run a program such as HijackThis, http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-Hij鈥?/a> and it will show a list of everything that is currently running, and everything that runs on startup.
You may have some trouble understanding the entries that HijackThis displays.
Your parents can also monitor internet activity through your router in most cases, and that is likely something you cannot discover.

How can I change dependency from one parent to another?
I am a full time student under 24 years old. My parents are divorced and I am currently a dependent of my dad. I would like to become a dependent of my mom because she is now going to pay for college.
What forms or process do I need to go through to change? If so when will it be changed?How can I change dependency from one parent to another?
You do not do any thing. Whoever meets the requirements can claim you.
Only custodial parent can claim the child. It does not count who is paying child support. Also, non-custodial parent can claim the child only if the custodial parent signs a release Form 8863 or there is a court order meeting the IRS requirements. Who can claim the child if the parents are divorced, separated or unmarried, read: http://taxipay.blogspot.com/2008/03/chil鈥?/a>How can I change dependency from one parent to another?
You can't change it, and you have nothing to say about who claims you. The parent you live with has the right to claim you unless there is a valid court order saying the other parent can, or the parent you live with voluntarily signs over your exemption to the other parent.
That's not for you to decide. That's for your parents to work out since it's THEIR tax form and if they BOTH try to do it, the IRS will be looking for proof of dependency.
It's irrelevant. BOTH of your parents' incomes come in to play for FAFSA purposes. It does NOT matter which one can claim you as a dependent.
You do nothing. Your mom just claims you on her taxes instead of dad. 24 is a bit old to still be a dependent

Parents: How do you get intimate without your kids hearing you?
My 11 year old daughter recently told me that she hears her dad and I being intimate. She said that she hears the bed and other sounds if you know what I mean! What are the best positions to minimize this? Do you have any other tips to prevent kids from hearing?Parents: How do you get intimate without your kids hearing you?
Try to plan intimate encounters while she is at a friend's house. Although this isn't likely to take care of all your sexual needs, at least it reduces the chances of being heard.
Also, try standing, or kneeling, with your husband from behind. This reduces the straining on the mattress since your movements are now occuring above the mattress. Parents: How do you get intimate without your kids hearing you?
girl I have a 8 and 5 yr old and my husband and I have to wait until our kids are in bed knocked out or gone away from the house they go to bed at 8:00 on school nights so we usually do something around 10:00 to be on the safe side. I was so embarrassed when my son said the same thing to me.
My husband and I wait till the kids are all asleep and have their TV on a bit louder than normal. Then we go to the bedroom and shut the door. Its gonna happen that your kids hear you its just part of it! Luckily mine are to young to know still!
Get a new bed, maybe something like a platform bed!
I have to use my pillow to soften the noise I make.... even when I'm trying to be quiet! LOL
Other than that... a good movie, down stairs, with the volume a little louder than normal also helps.
The healthiest thing you could teach her is that sex between those who love one another is natural and normal. Encourage her to take it in stride and not be embarrassed. That being said, buy her an ipod so she doesn't have to listen.
we either have the tv on or radio on but not to loud but loud enough to cover the noise...^_~...so far it works, but gotta have the doors locked as well, or you'll get a surprise visit
I have this problem too but my daughter is only 5 so she still sleeps like a rock. We have to close the door and turn the radio up fairly loud.
Throw some blankets on the floor and move off the bed. Then try to turn the radio or the tv on to block out the noise.
yeah wait until she is asleep
or go into the basement or another room if you two can't keep your sex on the quieter side...
Wait until she's asleep or try doing it on the floor.
Move to the floor, or stand up!!!
Invest in a new bed ASAP!
You really can't make much noise with your mouth full, can you?
give the poor girl some ear plugs!
Very simple don't do it. Children come before pleasure.

How should I go about convincing my parents to let me get a webcam?
I'm paying for it but I'll need a good reason to get it ini the first place.How should I go about convincing my parents to let me get a webcam?
I dont believe there is any good in getting one. What is your reason for wanting one??
I agree with your parents you dont need one.How should I go about convincing my parents to let me get a webcam?
Tell them you are a responsible person and will use it wisely, and only if you need to use it to speak to friends about homework. - It gets them every time!
Tell them this:
';You gave me these things, so I want to show them off!';
Hello, I guess it depends on how old you are? This is how online preditors attack young girls...when you are meeting people offline and letting them see you...so then,they will know who exactally to come and kidnap!!!That is no joke...I am 23 and think its crazy for people to do this.
But, if your wanting it so a friend from your hometown moved away and you guys can communicate,or for realitives,then its a great idea...and just tell your parents thats what its for....Thanks

How do we claim inheritance tax if the parent is still alive?
My father wants to leave me the value of some property he is selling ($90,000), and since it's all he owns and he was going to leave me the property in his will anyway, he says it's inheritance and we know people who have left their children inheritance while they're still alive. So my question is, how would we claim this as inheritance and not a 'gift' under the IRS? Do we need to fill out a form? Does he have to be dead for this to take affect? Is there a limit on how much you can claim as inheritance?!How do we claim inheritance tax if the parent is still alive?
You can't inherit from someone who is still alive. If he gives it to you now, it's a gift - he'd have to fill out a gift tax return, although he wouldn't owe any money as a gift tax, and your basis will be what his is if and when you sell it. If he leaves it to you in his will, then it doesn't take effect until he dies, but your basis becomes the value at that time.
No limit on inheritances, but there's a limit where over than you'd pay tax, but it's $2 million now so you're well below that.How do we claim inheritance tax if the parent is still alive?
You DON'T. An inheritance IS a gift under US tax law.
Have your father and you set up a ';Trust Fund.'; While he is
';still living of sound mind and body.';
That way, when he dies, you won't have to pay ';Inheritance
Tax'; on it because, having the Trust Fund. You already own it
with your father.
Talk to a legal advisor or your tax man.
Yes, you will need to fill out a form with your lawyer, and it has
to be witnessed by others ';not related'; to eliminate the
';conflict of Interest.';

Homeschooling Parents: what are the top facilitation or curriculum tools you look for online?
I'm putting together a support website for parents, teachers and homeschoolers. Details would be great.
What are your most difficult areas in facilitating the children's learning? What do you believe to be the most important areas? Do you work with other families or homeschooling communities? How many kids in your learning group. What are the ages of the children? Etc.
Thanks for the help!Homeschooling Parents: what are the top facilitation or curriculum tools you look for online?
When I go online to look for groups of people with homeschooling I want to know that they have places I can go and look for not only elementary and preschool things but middle school and high school. I like a wide variety of information. Math, english, history, and science is fine but what about all the other things you should be teaching? Age appropriateness is very important too. I homeschool my 15 year old daughter, my 4 year old and three year old sons, and will be teaching my other son who is one right now. He is with us when we teach things so he may be learning already and we just don't know it yet. We don't have a homeschool group around here that is for older kids as well as younger kids.Homeschooling Parents: what are the top facilitation or curriculum tools you look for online?
I find that the one area most lacking for homeschoolers across the board is support, websites, and teaching materials for the upper grades (above 6th grade).
When I look online for a teaching tool, I am seeking free worksheets with answer keys, as my girls adore worksheets, and it is not in my budget to but them more than 3 workbooks on each subject every month (and they would have me do it if I let them)

What advice would u give to a frustrated parent that has a 1st grader that constantly talks in class?
The teacher %26amp; parent has to tell the child twice because he/she is not listening.What advice would u give to a frustrated parent that has a 1st grader that constantly talks in class?
She is bored. It turns out there is a smart child in the bunch! Yeah! The challenge is how to channel all that verbal energy. Different people have different learning styles. An orator is simply a style your child has a dabble of (so to speak).
It's difficult for these learners because they simply are not passive learners but active ones. Even talking seems disruptive but she is not so interested in hearing what is said but participating - even if she is not talking on subject matter. She likely is bored because it's too easy and her brain does not want to deal with it.
Grrrrr... for parent and teacher - and the system that allows it. Ask her why she needs to talk during inappropriate times and find out how she can best learn. Tell her to save talking for recess and if she has a comment to wait and do tell someone later - not during class time.
Good luck!What advice would u give to a frustrated parent that has a 1st grader that constantly talks in class?
My advice would be: Relax. Breathe. Consider the situation. It is more important to know why your child acts out than to ';nip it in the bud';. The more you know about your childs behavior the easier it will be to convince them that it is their own idea to behave properly.
Just my two cents.
It is a normal problem.
parents should be patient.
talk to the child and try to explain him that its wrong.

What is the best option for buying your parents house, when you have bad credit and no downpayment?
My inlaws have two homes. It has been long known when they were near retirement, their daughter (my wife) would buy the oldest of the homes, the one all the kids grew up in.
We have little to no cash down and our credit scores are in the high 500's. The inlaws are willing to do almost anything to help us get into the home, even staging an elvated price to make it look like we dropped a big downpayment, though we can not prove it beyond word of mouth. Living there paying rent for a year may be another option, before we take owner ship of the house.
The house will be going on the very low side of the price range for this area at approx $200k. Average house price in this area is $350k or higher. We can afford the monthly depending on interest rate as we are already paying $1000/month rent now.
Any advice would be greatly apprecaited. Again little or no money down, poor credit, willful inlaws, and a family history in the house.What is the best option for buying your parents house, when you have bad credit and no downpayment?
They can sell at an elevated price if you want. The rest can be a gift of equity to you and your wife. It must be in letter form and in the sales contract. If your scores are in the High 500 then financing is no problem. try to get them to give you a 10% gift of equity and them to pay the closing cost and you should be good to go!What is the best option for buying your parents house, when you have bad credit and no downpayment?
they can give you a personal finance. they would hold the title, but you would be able to pay it off just like a mortgage...Have it in writing
Buy that house! This loan is pretty easy to do. The golfer had it right. Call your local mortgage broker and specifically tell them you'd like to do a ';Gift of Equity Purchase';.
They'll know exactly how to structure this loan. Trust me, it's a piece of cake. Paying that much in rent is just silly when you could be earning equity in your own home.
If you want to learn about mortgage brokers and how the decision process works, bookmark my blog: http://explaintome.blogspot.com
Have you spoken to them about the possibility of a seller carryback? Which is a form of financing in which the seller of a property accepts a down payment and agrees to accept payments until the property is paid for. You will need some assistance, possibly through a title company to have the papers drawn up.
Good luck with your new home.
My suggestion is with no downpayment and bad credit score means you are in no position to purchase a home at this time. I suggest you keep renting for another yr(if possible) and start putting money aside now for a down payment. If you try to make a large purchase like this when money is tight, it make it 10x as hard to get back out debt. Work things out with the in-laws. Good luck!

What is the best way to tell my parents I attempted suicide?
No one in my family knows whats going on. Even my friends know very little. Although I am not obligated to tell my parents (in my 20s) my therapist thinks its a good idea. I don't think it is. Is there any easy way to tell them?What is the best way to tell my parents I attempted suicide?
Yes, it is a good idea, especially if you think they won't overreact.
Think if you were a parent, would you want to know?! I'm a parent and a grandparent of 4, and I sure would!
Write down what you want to say. Simple is good. Get them together and say (a suggestion): ';Mom, Dad, I tried to commit suicide.'; Believe me, it's very likely after the shock wears off, they'll take it from there.
Best wishes.
And, please don't do that again. You life can change in a day, for the better, you never know. But you never will if you wind up prematurely dead. I'll bet you're a nice person--have you messed up? Sure, we all have. But think, you could live long enough to help a lot of people and be a tremendous blessing to them. You never know, until it happens.What is the best way to tell my parents I attempted suicide?
Awe, how sad, learning this here, I don't even know you...but honesty is the beginning steps to healing. Not all steps forward are easy, but embrace your courage and be proud of yourself for doing something to address your circumstance/s. You've obviously been overwhelmed for some time to have attempted harming self. If I were there with you, i'd just have to give you a big hug and reassure you everything will be okay. Follow your therapist's advice. An option you also have, is to inform your family doctor about your situation, he/she may be able to help you as to how to approach your parents about telling them. Consider also having a full physical while you are there, and inform him/her about who the therapist is, that you are seeing. It is a team effort on the road to healing. Your family doctor will also be able to provide you with the best treatment that is available. You've come this far...way to go! Don't quit now! Here's to cheering you on forward towards the road to recovery, hope that helps, thanks for asking.
If you intend to tell them, there's really no ';best or worst'; way. Just be aware of the circumstances, I suppose. Don't tell them when they are agitated or frustrated about something else, or when they are preoccupied with something.
Tell your parents that ';I'd like to talk to you about something personal.'; Set a time to do so.
There's the option of telling one parent, who could then diffuse the information to the other. If you have a problem confronting both parents at the same time (can be nerve wracking and slightly intimidating), this might not be such a bad idea.
About telling your parents at all: to be honest, it depends on your parents, the kind of people they are, their personalities, etc.. Ideally, one should be able to openly communicate these kinds of issues to his/her parents, although it does take a bit of mental effort and courage for anyone. Some parents will try to help you, and then some would shun you. I speak from experience -- no, I was never suicidal, but I've always had a hard time coming to my parents in general when it came to talking about ';my feelings.'; Every time I try to tell them something like this, they just freak out and tell me to get out of their rooms. I've tried telling them over and over again, but I've given up because I don't want to take them to their breaking point where they might do something drastic, like kick me out of the home altogether. They don't want to hear about my problems. They just want to hear about and take credit for my achievements, and then put the blame on me when everything goes wrong. I've given up altogether.
I have a feeling that MAYBE, you're going through the same things. Some parents are open to ANY communication, some are not. You have to evaluate the benefits and downfalls of telling your parents, and then make an informed decision. It's not up to your therapist, it's up to you. You're in the best seat to make this judgment call.
Good luck, I hope it all works out.
It is a personal decision. If you think it is a bad idea, I would venture to guess that it is.
If you find an urge to tell them, but fear the reaction I would think it a good idea to tell them.
If you don't have an urge to tell them, then don't...it could lead to an overreaction and an unwanted change in the relationship you have with them and/or how other perceive you. Even if you have moved on and are comfortable with yourself now people will never see suicide as a trivial thing.
there's no easy way to tell them but start off by telling them exactly how you've been feeling and then whay led u to want to commit suicide. I'm so glad that you chose not to end your life. You are sooooo young and there is still so much to experience %26amp; enjoy.
begin with what lead you to the feelings of despair explain how you saw no other recourse then apologize for not trusting them and yourself GL
There is no easy way. I dont know. Really.
Yes, it is a good idea, especially if you think they won't overreact.

What is the cheapest way to find birth parents in Florida from 1972?
My husband has no information on his birth except that he was born in a hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. I am trying to avoid going to sites that you have to pay for and start at government sites. Any suggestions?What is the cheapest way to find birth parents in Florida from 1972?
Have a look at the link posted below, I don't know if there is a fee involved there usually is, but you could have a look any way,
http://registry.adoption.com/records/427鈥?/a>
I found this site today I think it looks amazing.
http://www.gov-files.com/public_record_s鈥?/a>
I think it would be worth investing in a membership package, dont you. hope this has helped.What is the cheapest way to find birth parents in Florida from 1972?
Well, I would make a phone call to the bureau of vital statistics and ask them first. he may be able to be pointed in the right and free way of getting what he wants on the first try.
here is a whole list of adoption resources and information...
http://www.cyndislist.com/adoption.htm
take some time and browse through some of the sites and advice.
I don't think 1972 or Florida is as important as using what there is. Without raising hopes, for all you know, his birth family is already looking for him. Work all the available sources that you can, then decide if it is worth paying anything.
Contact the county that St. Pete is located in and ask for the
birth records division. Inform them of what you know.
You may also have to contact a county judge to discuss an order to open sealed records.
Good Luck to you!

Well, I would make a phone call to the bureau of vital statistics and ask them first. he may be able to be pointed in the right and free way of getting what he wants on the first try.
here is a whole list of adoption resources and information...
http://www.cyndislist.com/adoption.htm
take some time and browse through some of the sites and advice.
I don't think 1972 or Florida is as important as using what there is. Without raising hopes, for all you know, his birth family is already looking for him. Work all the available sources that you can, then decide if it is worth paying anything.
Contact the county that St. Pete is located in and ask for the
birth records division. Inform them of what you know.
You may also have to contact a county judge to discuss an order to open sealed records.
Good Luck to you!
What is the most common reason why parents say no to lasik eye surgery to kids?
If the kid is ready for surgery and wants to banish his/her's bifocals, why do parents say no on the idea of getting his/her's child get surgery for a better life?What is the most common reason why parents say no to lasik eye surgery to kids?
The main reason why LASIK should not be done on children is that their vision is not yet stable. Children often experience significant changes in their vision, since all infants suffer from mild hyperopia, which fades, while myopia often does not set in until children enter their teens or even later. The changing vision of children is related to changes in their cornea. If children have LASIK done, they will most likely need it done a second time later on. In addition, no good data exists on the effects of reshaping on still-growing corneas.What is the most common reason why parents say no to lasik eye surgery to kids?
my son had surgery on his eyes to fix a lazy eye problem when he was 7, and it was wonderful. He used to have to wear these ugly bifocals, and was made fun of all the time for his nerdy glasses.
He hasn't worn glasses since a month after the surgery, and has wonderful vision now, and you can see his beautiful eyes.
It only took a few mintues for each eye (yes both were done) and he was fine in a day, he slept the whole night after he came home (was awke for a few hours) but was fine the very next day. We still had to put drops in and all, but I would do it again ...
I am personally not a fan of Lasik for ANYONE, not just children. Our close family friend is an eye dr and is horrified by it; we had a long discussion about it once. Lasik thins the corneas, which naturally happens as you get older. Seems to me that it's foolish to do that, since it's aging your eyes. I wonder if we'll start seeing people with cataracts and things in their 40s...lol!!
No respectable doctor would perform eye surgery on a child, their eyes are still growing.

How long is it normal for parents to ignore their grown child?
I sent my mom a birthday card, but it never arrived. Both of my parents were furious and would not listen to the apology (although it really wasn't my fault). It's been 7 years since I've heard from them.How long is it normal for parents to ignore their grown child?
I wish it was that easyHow long is it normal for parents to ignore their grown child?
Life is too short to hold grudges, you go to them and tell them your sorry for whatever it was. Doesn't matter if it wasn't your fault. Just do it. They could die tomorrow or you could, and the guilt would be terrible.
Having trouble to forgive! You need Jesus. He will change your hard heart and give you a new attitude.
Yikes.
I get the feeling there's a whole lot you're not saying...so I can't really suggest an alternative.
My Mom and I haven't been on the best terms either. Every time I try to forgive her, for some bonehead move, she does it again, to ';test'; me. I find it easier to keep my distance, less hassels.
Maybe you should do the same....
and this is over....?

What's the difference between foster parents and adopting a child?
I need some input for a paper I'm working on. Thanks alot!What's the difference between foster parents and adopting a child?
An important point that none of the answerers so far has made, is that foster care is not only meant to be temporary, but the State's first goal is reunification of the child with their parents, if that is possible and safe for the child.
The majority of children who enter foster care do not get adopted out, either because it's infeasible due to their age (many older children aren't interested in adoption), or because they go back home, to the non-custodial parent, or a relative.
Another difference is the licensing requirements. Foster parents are given a license that is effective for a limited time (2-4 years, depending on the state), and must renew it to continue fostering. Adoption, once finalized, is generally permanent unless the adoptive parent commits abuse/neglect. The requirements are generally similar, although the type of training is generally different.
Also: The Adoption and Safe Families Act requires that if a child has been removed from their home for 15 of the last 22 months, the state must proceed with termination of the parent's rights, and start trying to adopt the child out. That doesn't mean that the rights WILL be terminated - just that they have to file it with the court. It also doesn't mean the rights end at 15 months - the parent retains rights until the judge finally signs the order to terminate them.What's the difference between foster parents and adopting a child?
I believe that the major difference is the feeling of safety and permanence that being adopted gives to a child.
Foster parents take care of the child until adoptive parents can be found. It's a temporary situation.
Foster care is intended to be a temporary living situation for children. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foster_pare鈥?/a>
Adoption is the legal act of permanently placing a child with a parent or parents other than the birth parents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption
to give a housing analogy:
fostering = house sitting
adopting = buying with no intention to sell
Fostering a child is keeping the child in your home until the child can be return to the original family or is placed up for adoption. Adoption is when you become the parents of a child just like a biological parent would be giving birth to the child and have all the responsibilities of raising the child and adoption means you accept this child that someone else gave birth to into your family and it would be just like own child and you would raise it and assume all responsibilities like the biological parents would have.
Foster parents are wards of the state and are paid for the needs of the child. It is usually temporary.
Adopting is permanent and the child becomes legally yours.
foster parents get payed to take care of the child. Adopted parents do it out of love.
or at least there suppose to.
foster parents are tempary and are paid to take care of the kids. Adoptive parents get the child premantly and raise them as their own
Foster parents are usually the intermediary family between the child's removal from the birth family and being adopted my a new family or being placed back with the birth parents or family. Foster parents can adopt if they wish, once the birth parents or birth family has lost rights to the child. Basically, foster parents are used instead of orphanages. Adoptive parents have full guardianship of the child and foster parents have temporary custody.
there isnt much of a difference, i dont think. but i know foster parents are usually parents who take in many kids and take care of them as their own.
Foster parents are 'temporary' care givers to a child (even if temporary means a number of years) They do not hold all parental rights and generally have either their natural parents or the state as their legal guardian. To adopt means that you hold all parental rights as if the child was born by you.
adoption-means that a person has full custody of the child
foster parents-means that they have temporary custody of the child till an adoptive parent/s can be found or they can apply to be the adoptive parent/sprofessional makeup

Can a custodial parent legally do anything about non-custodial parent getting childs haircut?
Daughter wants her haircut, mother doesnt, but mother doesn't take care of it daughter does.Can a custodial parent legally do anything about non-custodial parent getting childs haircut?
OMG this is just like my ex husband and I, His mother my ex mother in law butchers my daughter hair by doing it herself. Even though i take my daughter to the hairdressers!! wow i shall be watching this question. I wish i knew then answer myself so i could stop her my daughter is only 4 so she doesnt know any different yetCan a custodial parent legally do anything about non-custodial parent getting childs haircut?
I doubt there is a legal precedent out there that speaks directly to haircutting, but the best thing to do to keep everything civil is discuss it first with the other parent. Chances are, unless they are a very underhanded person, they will agree. If that doesn't work, however, talk to your child, (depending on the age). Otherwise, let it go. Hair will grow back, but hurt feelings from family fights rarely do, especially for your child.
Ummm, it's hair... It grows back and everything. There are probably ';bigger fish to fry'; in your life than a haircut...
The custodial parent should be responsible for ensuring that the child is free to decide. It's her own hair!
we cut my son's hair and his dad was going to take to court about it. it kind of depends on the parenting plan but the custodial parent makes the decisions.
Do a green mohawk.
As long as it is something nice and not a mowhawk dyed green or the head shaved then I would say it is fine
Why does this sound more like a battle amongst parents who cant get along than a child with a bad hair do?
When I hear language like this, the first three words that come to my mind are PARENTAL ALIENATION SYNDROME, someone is about to engage in that ugly tactic in this family dynamic, if one of you does not learn to PICK YOUR BATTLES, remember in elementary school, a touch, turns to a push, a push to a shove and shove to a fist a fist to a kick a kick to a knife a knife to gun a gun to a shovel... I ask you ,, where do you think bickering over a hair cut will lead to? which ever of you loves that child properly had better realize her hair cut is not the HILL UPON WHICH YOU WANT TO DIE! %26lt;metaphorically speaking%26gt;, ease back let it go and you will find when your child is combing your grand childs hair many many years from now, none of you will ever remember this day, unless you choose to win the battle over who has the last word on her hair ,,, Think about it!
';Children come here through us, not for us';
Sincerely yours
Legally they cant do anything about it but the real issue here is it is the childs hair, the child takes care of it and the child wants it cut. If it is not a religion thing why the mother refuses to get it cut then go get some hairstyle magazines and let your daughter pick out a few she likes and then sit down like two adults and talk to the mother about it. Your daughter needs to explain why she wants it cut so it doesnt seem like it is you pushing her to do it. As a mom I hated it when my 10 year old wanted her hair cut off but she showed me how she wanted it and it was a cute haircut so eventually her and dad won and I gave in. If your daughter has really long hair she can also say she is getting it cut to give to Locks Of Love where they use the hair to make wigs for kids with cancer. Last resort would be to just go get it done. Once it is cut it is cut and it is hair and will grow back but you have to deal with the ex till it does.
How old is the daughter????
If she is a teenager, the best thing to do is to come to a compromise.
Go halfway with the length, or if the daughter also wants to dye (often they do), then she gets to pick one or the other. If the color is too extreme, same thing, go somewhere in the middle.
Unfortunately I don't think there is anything you can do legally.
You can of course give them a good talking to!
My MIL gave our daughter the dodgiest fringe in the history of fringes once! When my partner asked her why, she said it's coz her hair kept falling over her face.
After that, whenever we sent her to her grandma's house, we'd tie her fringe back so it was away from her face, and also to get the message through that there are other ways to go about it!
She never cut the hair again!

How much should I charge my parents to clean our extremely cluttered basement?
What would be a reasonable price? They are willing to pay me quite a bit becuase it will require quite a bit of work. Also, I wanted to get a job and they wouldn't let me. On top of that, they are not paying me to babysit my siblings over the summer.How much should I charge my parents to clean our extremely cluttered basement?
If I even attempted to charge my parents for something??? .... WOW.... I dunno I always felt like having a room, clean cloths, hot food on my plate and good company was enough in my life... You might as well just slap your folks right in the face....How much should I charge my parents to clean our extremely cluttered basement?
I agree with Bwoodz. They're not paying you to babysit siblings, which means they consider work-around-the-house to be a responsibility that goes along with the priviledges you have of being part of the family.
So, do it for nothing. Work harder than you have to, clean it more than you have to. When you're done, your parents will be compelled to follow their own philosophy - and they will compensate you with money and other priviledges - not the least of which is trust.
Charge them a reasonable rate per hour. It sounds like the kind of a job that nobody would know how long it would take plus there will be decisions to be made about what to do with some items. An hourly rate would be fair to them and you.
Charge by the hour. Decluttering can take a lot longer than you expect. Your parents know you won't drag out the job just to make more money. Ask THEM what hourly wage they think is fair... because their figure might be higher than what you would suggest.
You should let them decide after the job is finished.After all they understand the amount of work involved and are willing to pay you for doing it.They will be fair with you.
Nothing! Don't ask for a penny, then when you've finished, you may get even more cash than if you had asked. They're you're parents remember! And the economic crisis isn't helping!
50$$
Charge them nothing. Remember they take care of you.
Count yourself lucky that the fee is up to you.

What does the Quran say about parents and finding a spouse for their child?

What exactly does the Quran say about parents and finding a spouse for their child?
Is it something religious or something cultural?What does the Quran say about parents and finding a spouse for their child?
I doesn't say anything about it.
And it's neither religious nor cultural.
Here in Egypt, everyone marries who they want, arranged marriages I think are more in India, Pakistan, etc..
So it would be cultural for them yeah.What does the Quran say about parents and finding a spouse for their child?
As far as I know, it doesn't say anywhere in the Quran that Parents are responsible for the marriage of their child but yes, definitely its their job to do so. They brought up a child, fed him or her, took care of him or her for these many years, they can think of good n bad for their child. They are more experienced in lives. So, its not the job of parents alone to get their child married, but other relatives and friends should also take care of it especially in the case of a girl, where such matters should be dealt by the elders of the family. ~!
it says no such thing

How can I prove to my parents I am responsible enough for a dog?
Me and my 2 sisters (11 and 9) all want one.
We already have a cat, and my mum and dad say we can't get a dog because we don't look after our cat enough. But this isn't true because we all feed and play with her - although I admit I don't really help much with the litter! But I've started to help out with that to try and prove I'm responsible. I really want a little West Highland Terrier because they're friendly, love families and children, and if you introduce them at a young age, they can quickly accept other pets - see?! I've even done my research!!!
Is there anything else I could do to prove I could look after a dog?How can I prove to my parents I am responsible enough for a dog?
do a lot w ur cat. it helps and u cant blow off what u've promised, prove that ur trustworthy and give'em a back-up plan like, a friend who can get it if it doesn't wrok or something. swear u'll do a lot of the work and DO IT if u get one. good lucky hope u get ur dogHow can I prove to my parents I am responsible enough for a dog?
They are probably either right or not concerned with whether you are responsible enough for it or not and they just don't want it pooping and peeing in the house as a pup.
you and your sisters do a doggie day care for like a week and if your parents see that your doing a great job they might let you.
Start out by helping with chores around the house so you can prove to them you are being responsible.
You should ask your parents what they think you need to do in order to get a dog. I wanted a dog since I was 2 and I just got one a couple weeks ago. (I'm 13). Whatever you are responsible for make sure you keep it tidy and clean.(Room,chores,etc).
A good way to start would be to: do your own laundry, clean up after yourself ALL THE TIME! Including your own dishes, etc. You could also clean the bathrooms and do little chores around the house...offer to mow the yard or wash the vehicles. That would show that you are responsible you could also see if you could volunteer at a vet's office or the humane society. Good Luck and hope you get your dream puppy :) Please remember that dogs are a lot different than cats. They take training and cleaning up their messes in the yard.

Good Luck and hope you get your dream puppy :) Please remember that dogs are a lot different than cats. They take training and cleaning up their messes in the yard.
What do you think of a parent deliberately making it possible to have a disable child?
I saw that on Kevin Ablow this morning. Couples were made it possible for thier kid to become a speciffic disability because they have it. This must be the processure used to make a child the sex the couple wants the child to be.
Making the child the desired sex is one, but a disability is an awful thing. I had the hardest childhood with mine. My epilepsy got worse in adulthood. What are these people thinking? How could a parent be so selfish.
There was a man who was on 4';3. A woman got an operation that go her up to 5 ft. That's a lot better. It turns out that more women, than men get the height length operation. It's painful, but worth it. I don't blame them either. No pain no gain.What do you think of a parent deliberately making it possible to have a disable child?
that's pathetic, parents should want better for their kids then what they had not make them suffer the way they did.What do you think of a parent deliberately making it possible to have a disable child?
Anybody that would do such a thing should be beat to death!
Some people do it so that they get money for having a child with a disabity! Its sick and sad!!
is this not called Munchausen syndrome

How are young orphans with anonymous parents named?
Like say that an infant or young child is put on the doorstep of an orphanage, and there's no indication of a name. How does the child obtain a name if they're not adopted by the time they're an adult?How are young orphans with anonymous parents named?
In the olden days, orphan babies were often named after the person who had found them. Or the people in the orphanage sought inspiration in the location or circumstances in which the kid had been found. Some orphanages had fixed lists of names that were used in alphabetical order.

';FUTURE OF FOUNDLINGS; Infants No Longer Named for Chance Localities';

I also found this snippet on foundlings in Spain:
';Often they were named after the saint of the day they were found or the patron saint of the town.
For surnames, they received Exp贸sito (';Foundling';), which marked them and their descendents as people without pedigree, or the more compassionate usage of choosing one among those most common among the population.
In 1921, Spanish law allowed that the paperwork for changing the surname Exp贸sito was cost-free. ';How are young orphans with anonymous parents named?

What should I bring my future parents in law from my home country Belgium?
I'm going with my future wife to the US next week to meet her parents. Yikes. Since I'm a Belgian my wife suggested that I'd bring chocolats as a present. I guess I can do that but I think its hardly original. Any other suggestions, fellow Belgians and Belgium 'conaisseurs'?What should I bring my future parents in law from my home country Belgium?
1- Lace. You can never go wrong with lace and your future mother in law will love you.
2- You can also try goblin.
3- And at the flea markets, you can find some really very nice opalin house objects, vases, etc. Women just love opalin objects.
4- Finally, I think, Belgian crystal will be an expensive but interesting and exquisite option. Val Saint Lambert will definetely be a winner.What should I bring my future parents in law from my home country Belgium?
Chocolate is good, but coffee is better. We bring back some every time we go. our favourite is in a red %26amp; gold pack %26amp; in English the name means Grey Horse. The Belgian coffee is the best in the world. Cheese would be good as well. We visit friends %26amp; come home with as much as we can carry. Hope you enjoy your trip, %26amp; good luck.
belgium chocolates
ps i'm from antwerp
Waffles of Brussels,

congratulations, and yes chocolates,and pack them in your suitcase they will be fine I do it all of the time and Lace Brussels or Brugge lace and your future mother inlaw will love you the Americans love all that go into the lace shops and ask you can get from initialled handkerchiefs to table cloths broaches you name it and its a lovely gift for a lady,does papa smoke ?box of cigars or a good wine?wrap in case with a toilet roll around the neck of the bottle and wrap well ?bubble wrap?maybe something from where you are from in Belgium?I am just back from Gent,that was my mothers home town and I still have family there love it and the people yes Belgium is a great place,hope this has helped you?take care and have a great trip.
My English mother-in-law loves Knorr stoofvleessausmix and 'bruin bier'. Hardly a present though. But beer might be? Some speciality beers would be nice if they are beer drinkers. Something lace possibly, Belgium is famous for it's lace? Real 'suikerwafels' or banana or pistachio filled chocolate bars from GB? I doubt if they sell it in America.
Zero chocolate bars (the ones you need to put in the fridge)are a real Belgian thing too. And it is definitly more original than chocolate from a chocolatier in a posh box.
Chocolate or send some beer :) My brother married a girl from Belgium and when she came over she brought everybody a ton of chocolate. We loved her right away. Her cousin also sent a few packages of beer. A few of them busted but not all so we were able to enjoy some Jupiler.
