If someone wanted to be a foster parent, do they get paid extra to watch the kids or do they have to get a second job?Is foster parenting a paying job?
They DO NOT get paid directly. But they do get enough money from the state to take care of the kids. And to be totally truth-full MANY MANY MANY of these people live very nicely. I honestly suspect that the money they get is NOT always used for the kids.Is foster parenting a paying job?
They get paid a minimum amount. People shouldnt be a foster parent for the money, they should do it for the child. Most children are in foster care because someone didnt want them.
People need to think of the children not the money!!
I heard that you get paid for ';expenses'; in the UK, like two hundred pound a month so you'd have to work still i'm afraid!

鈥?Attending Parent Orientation, held in August without preschoolers, where you鈥檒l have a chance to meet
the staff and learn what to expect for the coming year. Class lists will be distributed at this time.

How do I communicate better with my parents and grandparents?
I live in Singapore and my grandparents live in USA so we talk through Skype every night. Hence, we do not talk much. My parents stay with me in the same house. Sometimes during car rides we do not even exchange a single sentence. How can I solve this? Please do not tell me ';try to communicate more with them'; or another sentence as brief as that. Please explain how do I do that. Thanks in advance.How do I communicate better with my parents and grandparents?
wow. that's tough. maybe sit down with them and ask them if you do something to make them angry and not want to talk to you. if their not angry just explain to them that you feel that you never talk to each other and you want to change that because you love them and want to be able to talk to them but it's hard if your the only one making an effort to do thatHow do I communicate better with my parents and grandparents?
Ask open-ended questions. If they try giving a yes/no answer, ask why and take the opposing side. Debates usually get people talking if they feel strongly enough about something.
first u talk and make them to talk it may be boring for them but u don't give up talk some thing about movies,friends,relatives after some days they will also start talking it works
Try to know more about Globe 7, I hope it will be usefull for You..

What are good homemade Christmas gifts for parents?
I am fourteen. This year my family has to cut down on money spending. I really can't go out by myself to buy something without my parents knowing. I can't make coupons for chores and different things because my parents already expect me to do that stuff. It also really hard to keep things hidden form my parents as well. They are so nosy. I have come up with no ideas and need help. I haven't gotten them anything so far and starting to panic because Christmas is right around the corner. Please Help Me!What are good homemade Christmas gifts for parents?
I found this really cool blog site for you. They have about 7 homemade gift ideas using things I'm sure you could find lying around your house.
It's pretty cool.
There's jar snowglobes, paper beads, and s'mores jars!
:]
Happy Holidays!What are good homemade Christmas gifts for parents?
you can make them fleece blankets in their favorite colors- you'll just have to go buy fleece though http://www.exploringwomanhood.com/homeli鈥?/a>
maybe burn CDs of songs
decorate picture frames adn put a nice picture of you inside
bookmarks
ornaments
scrapbooks
Take some of your old stuff or go through stuff you have set aside for a garage sale (or go to a garage sale!). Then give it a makeover! For example, take a beaten up bike that your brother was about to throw away and paint it. Or go online and learn to make a duct tape wallet. How about recovering the pages of an old textbook to make a funky scrapbook? Check out craft books from the library and try your best - it's the thought that counts!
I think if you buy something and they see its fine, if they are nosy that's their fault, its not like they will tell you that they saw the gift so you should return it. Otherwise, some of the other ideas like photo albums are good.
make them a collage of pictures with you and your family and or if you have siblings all of you guys and then in the middle write a poem for them they will like that way more then anything you could buy them in a store
a scrapbook
you could do it all on the computer
just print up some pictures and maybe write some stuff about it
then print it and put it in a book or a binder
i bet u they would love it
if you cant go out to get anything, why not just enjoy Christmas with your family in other ways, after all, this is whats important. Make some Christmas cookies together :)
How about a family memory book, and put lots if different pics, storys and decorations in it. Something for everyone!
an album of pictures or drawings, and nice thoughts written down
The first few years of my marriage I had a very tight budget and so I made a lot of gifts. Later when I had kids I also encouraged them to make things for the people in their family. Below is a list of ideas of things either I made or my kids made:
1. Photo collages from photos of each person with other family members. You can use frames with cutouts or overlap photos using a board and then put a layer of shellac over it when you are finished.
2. Photo magnets - All you need are photos of yourself and a strip of magnetic sheet. You place the photos on the sheet and cut out a background for each photo then you strip off the magnet explosing the sticky back and adhere to photos.
3. Custom shirts/sweatshirts - I bought sweatshirts from Michaels for $5 and some fabric paint and I made each person a custom shirt. For example, my brother loves pizza so I painted a big pepperoni pizza on his!
4. Another year, I bought flower pots and painted them to each person's personality - fill them with coffee beans and you have a pen/pencil holder!
5. Bookmarks - Design some bookmarks on poster board (personalize for each person) and then get it laminated. Cut out each bookmark and punch a hole with a hole punch at the top. Loop some yarn through the hole and viola!
Hope these ideas help! Whatever you do, if you do it from the heart I know your parents will love it!skin

How many of you have criticized a parent for spanking in public?
Don't you think you are doing more harm than good? Do you actually think you know better than the parent? Did you know that spanking is NOT illegal?
I am not talking about parents that physically beat their children to a pulp. I am talking about the parents that spank their children for misbehaving.
I am so sick of people saying that they call the cops when they see children being punished.How many of you have criticized a parent for spanking in public?
I never have.
What I HAVE done many times, is wonder why in the world a parent DOESN'T bust their kid's butt.... so often you see kids being absolute monsters and the parents not doing a thing.How many of you have criticized a parent for spanking in public?
Great question, nice answer!!!! take another point from me, lol
i was one of those kids who got spanked in public, it may teach the kid 2 behave in public if they were embarassed with a little spank. it worked 4 me, because my parent pulled my pants right down-- it didn't matter who was watching--and gave a few light slams along with some words.
I don't call cops on people for spanking, because it's not illegal. But if they are punching the kid in the face or something, I'll whip my cell phone out right then and there. I might even take a picture so I have proof.
But you must also remember that even if you disagree with someone criticizing, in America they still have the right to do so under the First Amendment. That is the price of freedom of speech, that you will occasionally have to hear things you don't like or want to hear.
And if you're going to spank in public in a country that has freedom of speech, you're going to have to be prepared to encounter people who will openly criticize you. The most I've ever done for spanking is walk past and say ';I see you are training a bully. Good day';...and walk away.
All the bullies who bullied me as a kid were kids who were spanked regularly. This was how they were taught to deal with things. If you don't want to be criticized for spanking in public, don't spank in public. Plain and simple. Sorry this is not what you want to hear but that's the way it is.
Freedom of speech ROCKS!
Whoever you vote for in November, make sure they support keeping it alive.
i got spanked as a toddler in public for throwing a tantrum
I used to get spanked! that was 5 years ago but I used to have to drop my pants! some people don't spank there kids in public because they could get arrested. my parents use to just wait until we got home to do it. I used to get spanked with a belt or a paddle or a wooden spoon. VERY norm.

No, I haven't. But all of these people who are against it need to let it be. This is not abuse nor will it cause lifelong trauma. I just mind my own business when I see it happen. Maybe alot of you should to.
Never, but I have never seen a spanking get out of hand. Children need to be whipped on the behind sometimes, and not enough of you do good sissies do it, that is why your children act like they are the boss in your house ( Guess what, they ARE ! ) Probably end up in Juvy and talk like trailor trash, ghetto thug wanna-be's.
NEVER! Kids need to know who is boss! When I was a kid is was enough for my dad to say if I didn't stop what I was doing we were going to the car. I knew that meant I was gonna get my butt spanked! You can't control when your kids are going to act up so you have to do something about it right then and there!
On the other hand I have wondered why parents don't control there kids!
I agree with Mary, I think you need to nip the bad behavior in the butt, or it will only escalate as they age.
i'm with you. actually, there have been quite a few times when i wished parents would take control of their kids in stores. sometimes i hear a parent tap their little one on the butt and think, good for you.
The liberals should not be allowed to force all of us to accept their views.
If I wish to teach my children right from wrong by awarding them when they are good and punishing them when they are bad that is my choice not to be dictated by someone that can not even control their own children.
I have never done that and never would. Only one time did I ever say anything and that was a abuse situation that 5 other people reported to protective services also. If a kid gets a swat on the butt for a good reason then GOOD!!!!
Do not spank or severly chastize your child in public. Even at your home, take your child into another room away from company. If your child is misbehaving so badly in public that he or she needs a firm swat on the butt, then it is time for you to leave and go to your car or return to your home.
I've never confronted anyone, no. But doesn't it occur to you that punishment means many more things than just spanking?
My daughter's been with me a couple times someone has been spanked. It's never done ';with control, not in anger'; as so many repeatedly claim. It's done by a ticked off, aggravated parent. My daughter just looks at me with these sad eyes when she sees a child being hit. It makes me physically ill to see a child flinch when their parent raises their hand. It's the saddest thing in the world.
I welcome the thumbs down, go right ahead and give 'em. My child is not spanked, is extremely well-behaved and well-mannered, more so in public than at home, and I'm complimented on her behavior regularly. She's disciplined all the dang time - just not with my hands. There are other ways.
There are other ways.
I'm sick of that too. If I see a parent spanking in public, I applaud them. That's what's wrong with kids these days, the parents are so scared to discipline them. If I spanked my son and somebody had the nerve to say something, I'd just laugh and walk away.
I remember once, when my son was about 6, he kept touching food on the shelves in the grocery store after i told him a million times not to. He then grabbed a glass jar of olives for some reason and dropped it by accident, sending olives and glass everywhere! I hit his hand once and started yelling at him for not listening. He wasn't even phased by what had happened and I was very frustrated. A woman walked down the isle after hearing the noise, and instead of calling an employee over to help with the mess, she called one over because she said i was beating my child! Of course this didn't make matters any better and i had a LOT of things to say to that woman. Since that day, i never hit any of my kids in public for misbehaving nor did my son ever touch anything again in the grocery store. I'd give them a look and they knew that they would be in BIG trouble when they got home.
I agree with you! I have NO patience or respect for those people who threaten with the cops, told me that I was abusing my child or a bad mother. You then look at those people later on in the store and see them very frustrated with their own children, trying to get their kids to behave by saying ';stop'; and ';no'; a hundred times, failing to be firm and of course, seeing no results. And they had the nerve to say that i was a bad parent!? A swat on the hand or butt isn't abuse. If you believe it is, you need to read about an abusive case. I'm not saying ';Hitting your kids is the answer to gettng them to listen!'; because it's not. It was something i did very rarely. I punished my kids with timeouts and loss of privileges too. But i am in a huge believer in the saying Mind Your Own Business. I don't remember anyone else helping me in labor while i brought my kids into this world, therefore i don't need anyone else's help in bringing them up in this world. Unless you see a child in LIFE THREATENING situation, do yourself a favor, and move on. They aren't your child to parent, so don't offer your opinion.
I've always been strict with my children and I'm glad. They don't hate me because of it either. I've been told since my kids were little that they are very well behaved. They weren't born that way. They learned how to act through love and disaplint. Occasionally they wouldn't listen, but they never got to the point where they were walking all over me.
They're now 17,15 %26amp; 12, and are all very respectful, happy teenagers. They make mistakes, but everyone does. :) I couldn't be more proud of them and wouldn't change anything about the way i brought them up.
My perosnl opinion is Im completely PRO spanking. NOT beating just spanking (bottom only) no slapping or anything like that. That is how I was raised, and I turned out very disciplined. I think that people that actually have enough odasity to get involved in other peoples parenting, obviousely are not very good parents themselves. So yes the people that are trying to parent our children makes me nuts.
It is illegal here in scotland, i think if you have to spank your child you are losing control and this is not good for the child to see. snd nine times out of ten you feel guilty for doing it.
I'm sick of everyone being in everyone else's business, to be honest. Let me raise my children and you raise yours. I don't criticize other parents because I know I'm not perfect!!
I have never, and I dare anyone to criticize me for handling my child the way I see fit.
I did, however, once see a woman whipping a baby on a changing table in the ladies room with the strap of her purse and you better believe I called security as did another woman who saw it as well. But that is not spanking; that was abuse and the child couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 months old.
i wish we couldnt be afraid of some idoit calling the cops on you because sometimes your kids really need a spanking thats what is wrong with the kids today no spankings
I spanked my child at a JC Pennys one day because my son bit me in the face when I bent down to tell him to stop doing something. I was getting all these nasty looks and one woman told me I was a trashy mother. Screw them, they didn't know what was going on, and besides if their child bit them and they didn't do anything about it, they are idiots! But, that was the only time I have ever spanked my child in public. I don't spank much at home either. Only when I really want to get the point across to him as a last resort. I prefer time outs most of the time.
I don't criticize the actual spanking, but I don't necessarily agree with doing in front of complete strangers. That is humiliating for the child as well as the parent. Same goes for yelling and belittling the child in front of others. Humiliation is more abusive than a good old-fashioned spanking...
Never. I ahve been the wacked-out parent (and hormones were involved, unbeknownst to any of us) who has done her best to stop yellinga nd screaming- did I hit him in public- I must have, once or twice, but a slap at most.
Anyway,
I have been the parent with no other recourse...
but really, the worst damage you're doing is psychological.
The spanking is pretty bad.
But undermining a parent in front of the child can be WORSE.
The part of the child that is rightfully indignant and hurt can become overgrown and just HATE the parent, who may be right in the end.
And then again,
the child may want to PROTECT the parent from any and all judgment by others- I can talk about my own mother but YOU better not say a word.
So, you end up with not only an embarrassed child, but a child who is confused, and whose identity through parent-identification actually becomes attacked by outside criticism.
Better to let it be.
If there is that much abuse, then the effects will be seen and caught (hopefully) by the teacher, the aunt, etc.
no i do not...but i think them yelling at them and yanking them by the arm is not the way to handle things either...you shouldnt spank your child in public nor yell at them....take care of it when you get home. give a firm warning in the store/public
if a parent cannot control there anger for the time they are out in public, just imagine what they do at home, not to mention how it scares my children to see another child being abused, i never threaten to call the police unless a child is being severely hurt, but do i judge, YES I DO, as i try to explain to my children how wrong it is and that the parent does not know any better, they are lazy and ignorant to other methods, they spend there time defending there actions rather then finding new ways to discipline
Well someone has to stick up for the little guy. If you can't control your anger and aggression, then maybe you need to be told not to enforce physical punishment on someone smaller than yourself. Have you heard the saying ';pick on someone your own size?'; It has meaning behind it, and small children should not be hit by their parents, when they are too small to defend themselves. So it is not illegal, yet, everything was once legal, but that doesn't make it right.
I am not talking about parents that physically beat their children to a pulp. I am talking about the parents that spank their children for misbehaving.
I am so sick of people saying that they call the cops when they see children being punished.How many of you have criticized a parent for spanking in public?

But i am in a huge believer in the saying Mind Your Own Business. I don't remember anyone else helping me in labor while i brought my kids into this world, therefore i don't need anyone else's help in bringing them up in this world. Unless you see a child in LIFE THREATENING situation, do yourself a favor, and move on. They aren't your child to parent, so don't offer your opinion.
I've always been strict with my children and I'm glad. They don't hate me because of it either. I've been told since my kids were little that they are very well behaved. They weren't born that way. They learned how to act through love and disaplint. Occasionally they wouldn't listen, but they never got to the point where they were walking all over me.
They're now 17,15 %26amp; 12, and are all very respectful, happy teenagers. They make mistakes, but everyone does. :) I couldn't be more proud of them and wouldn't change anything about the way i brought them up.
My perosnl opinion is Im completely PRO spanking. NOT beating just spanking (bottom only) no slapping or anything like that. That is how I was raised, and I turned out very disciplined. I think that people that actually have enough odasity to get involved in other peoples parenting, obviousely are not very good parents themselves. So yes the people that are trying to parent our children makes me nuts.
It is illegal here in scotland, i think if you have to spank your child you are losing control and this is not good for the child to see. snd nine times out of ten you feel guilty for doing it.
I'm sick of everyone being in everyone else's business, to be honest. Let me raise my children and you raise yours. I don't criticize other parents because I know I'm not perfect!!
I have never, and I dare anyone to criticize me for handling my child the way I see fit.
I did, however, once see a woman whipping a baby on a changing table in the ladies room with the strap of her purse and you better believe I called security as did another woman who saw it as well. But that is not spanking; that was abuse and the child couldn't have been more than 6 or 7 months old.
i wish we couldnt be afraid of some idoit calling the cops on you because sometimes your kids really need a spanking thats what is wrong with the kids today no spankings
I spanked my child at a JC Pennys one day because my son bit me in the face when I bent down to tell him to stop doing something. I was getting all these nasty looks and one woman told me I was a trashy mother. Screw them, they didn't know what was going on, and besides if their child bit them and they didn't do anything about it, they are idiots! But, that was the only time I have ever spanked my child in public. I don't spank much at home either. Only when I really want to get the point across to him as a last resort. I prefer time outs most of the time.
I don't criticize the actual spanking, but I don't necessarily agree with doing in front of complete strangers. That is humiliating for the child as well as the parent. Same goes for yelling and belittling the child in front of others. Humiliation is more abusive than a good old-fashioned spanking...
Never. I ahve been the wacked-out parent (and hormones were involved, unbeknownst to any of us) who has done her best to stop yellinga nd screaming- did I hit him in public- I must have, once or twice, but a slap at most.
Anyway,
I have been the parent with no other recourse...
but really, the worst damage you're doing is psychological.
The spanking is pretty bad.
But undermining a parent in front of the child can be WORSE.
The part of the child that is rightfully indignant and hurt can become overgrown and just HATE the parent, who may be right in the end.
And then again,
the child may want to PROTECT the parent from any and all judgment by others- I can talk about my own mother but YOU better not say a word.
So, you end up with not only an embarrassed child, but a child who is confused, and whose identity through parent-identification actually becomes attacked by outside criticism.
Better to let it be.
If there is that much abuse, then the effects will be seen and caught (hopefully) by the teacher, the aunt, etc.
no i do not...but i think them yelling at them and yanking them by the arm is not the way to handle things either...you shouldnt spank your child in public nor yell at them....take care of it when you get home. give a firm warning in the store/public
if a parent cannot control there anger for the time they are out in public, just imagine what they do at home, not to mention how it scares my children to see another child being abused, i never threaten to call the police unless a child is being severely hurt, but do i judge, YES I DO, as i try to explain to my children how wrong it is and that the parent does not know any better, they are lazy and ignorant to other methods, they spend there time defending there actions rather then finding new ways to discipline
Well someone has to stick up for the little guy. If you can't control your anger and aggression, then maybe you need to be told not to enforce physical punishment on someone smaller than yourself. Have you heard the saying ';pick on someone your own size?'; It has meaning behind it, and small children should not be hit by their parents, when they are too small to defend themselves. So it is not illegal, yet, everything was once legal, but that doesn't make it right.
How do I eat less without my parents noticing?
I need to lose weight but I don't want my parents to go crazy. It's a long story, but my cousin used to be anorexic and when my sister told my parents that she wanted to go on a diet they FREAKED and watched her 24/7 and she gained. They're totally nuts, so yeah.
How do I eat less like when I go out to eat with them and stuff? Any tips?How do I eat less without my parents noticing?
fill ur plate with mainly veggies and saladHow do I eat less without my parents noticing?
eat but exercise. god that seems to be the worst people need to hear. If your metabolism is slow your going to have to burn off then what you in taking Nor eating does not help you loose weight , exercising and eating right does.... So go ahead don't eat take all the nutrients your body needs and let it take from your muscle and bones. Starvation diets are for people who are lazy.. My opinion.
thats a good question. you could just eat the same amount but not the same things like dont eat junk food, but eat the equivalent amount of fruit, or salads. that way they'll see youre eating and they cant really get mad at that- fruit has 100% more nutrition than chips. or start excercising
well, I would say, all you have to do, is cut back on your plate..
if you get a plate of food, eat and leave 25% in the plate and say you are full
they cant force you to eat more then that... at least they can see you are eating 75% of the food, which is still good :)
the other option is to excersize and burn the fat you ate ;)
but eating to clean the place is not healthy esp if its larger portions :)
Well if you kitchin is seperat from the dineing room then just say you want more then go int the kitchen and rap it in a nap kin then throw it away and say u ate it all because you ate it on the way then when u come out say it filled u up so u did not get more...
Eat healthy, but not less. Skip dressings on salads and opt for Tarragon vinegar instead. When they serve meat, eat very little but load up on veggies.
You can eat alot when eating healthy!
drop ur food on da floor , keep it in ur mouth n den ask if u can go 2 da bath room den thro it out , have a tishu wid u wen u want throw some food out pretend 2 wip ur mouth

How can you switch schools without your parents permission at age 17?
My parents and I do not get along and even going out for help at the counselor. My boyfriend and i have been dating for two years and when i turn 17 i plan on moving out with him, but that would require switching schools with a parents permission. Is there some law where i don't need their consent to switch schools?How can you switch schools without your parents permission at age 17?
Sure. You can become an emancipated minor. Call your state courthouse to find out how. The bad part about doing that is that your parents will no longer be legally or financially responsible for you. That means you will have to pay for everything and anything that you need or want. That includes rent, utilities, food, clothing, computer, internet, cable tv, school supplies, gas, car, health insurance, auto insurance, medical bills, dental bills, etc..... It also means any legal trouble you may get in to, you will be considered an adult. It's not as easy as it sounds to be on your own, even with the acknowledgment that living at home isn't easy. Rather than going out on your own, my suggestion would be to get a part time job to keep yourself busy and away from home as much as possible, of course, making sure you have plenty of time available for school work, which could be accomplished at the local library or a friend's house. I know you don't want to hear this, but unless there is abuse involved, your best bet is to stay home.
