What are the options to reproduce after a vasectomy? Is there a way to have a vasectomy and parent afterward?

Vasectomies can be reversed; however, it is not always successful. You can always freeze some emissions in anticipation .. :)What are the options to reproduce after a vasectomy? Is there a way to have a vasectomy and parent afterward?
Just go get the vasectomy, and tell the doc to make damn sure that is not reversable. There are too many people on the planet. We are headed for an ecological disaster the likes of which threaten the existence of mankind. Would you really want to bring for children to grow up in that kind of future ???What are the options to reproduce after a vasectomy? Is there a way to have a vasectomy and parent afterward?
Yes there is a procedure to repair a vasectomy, but you'll have to be assessed first, to see if you are suitably for the procedure. Have a good day.
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) is the process of removing a small portion of tissue from the testicle under local anesthesia to extracting the few viable sperm cells present in that tissue for the purpose of Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). The Testicular Sperm Extraction process is recommended to men who are unable to produce sperm by ejaculation as a result of primary testicular failure, congenital absence of the vas deferens or non-reconstructed vasectomy.





The Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) has eliminated a lot of the need for donor sperm.





Excerpt above from first source below:
There's always adoption. Also, at least some of the time, a vasectomy is reversible, if you wanted to give that a try.
Your two major options are: VasoVasectomy, or TESE (see the links below)





Now that I have covered the technical part of my answer, here is the ethical part:


The biggest problem, in America, today, is nobody is forced to face consequences for their actions. You made a choice, by getting a vasectomy (a good choice). Now as a consequence of that choice, the two of you will have no more children. If you have your vasectomy reversed, you are bucking the system, and avoiding the consequences of you, choice. How are you going to explain to your future child about actions and consequences when you didn鈥檛 face the consequences yourself? That sounds like poor parenting.





Good luck!
Your best bet would be to store some sperm at a sperm bank. It is not always possible to reverse a vasectomy. If you are thinking of parenting later, then you should reconsider having a vasectomy. It's always possible for something to go wrong with a storage facility.

If you are the youngest sibling, will you feel guilty when you move out and leave your parent(s) on their own?

That is if you are the last to move out.If you are the youngest sibling, will you feel guilty when you move out and leave your parent(s) on their own?
no, hell i moved out before my brother did(who is 9 years older than me)...and wouldn't you know it...my mom moved in with me because she doesn't like to be alone...aaahhh!!! she drives me nuts!If you are the youngest sibling, will you feel guilty when you move out and leave your parent(s) on their own?
I was the youngest and no I did not feel guilty. It's all apart of life.





Brandon
LOLS!! im the youngest and im the oldest..so if i move out...they'll stand on their own anyway...but of course im gonna miss them..
No, there not going to be sad when I leave
Not really. My parents will still have my 2 dogs, who are kind of like children!! lol I'll always come back home and visit :)
Heck no, I was happy to get out of there!
No. They know its for THEIR betterment
no
I didnt. My brothers and I kept moving back home so much, that by the time we all stayed gone, they were happy to have the house to themselves. lol
pshh no.
nope not a bit my parents are old enough to make it on their own without my supervision
My sister did, and she was happy to leave us.I don't blame her :|

How did you learn to drive? An instuctor? A parent?

I just did something crazy, I technically have a license to drive a manual car, although I have VERY little experience. I've always found having someone teach me incredibly nerve wracking and intimidating to the point that I can't focus on my driving, so I took the car out. On my own. And I just taught myself faster than anyone else could. What's your story?How did you learn to drive? An instuctor? A parent?
When I was 10 my dad put me in the drivers seat of an American Rambler 3 speed on the tree. After I annoyed him by dumping the clutch a few times. I learned. After that I simply always drove standards.How did you learn to drive? An instuctor? A parent?
I had a little bit of driving with my parents but probably only 10 or so hours because they would always fight or yell at me...





I took driver's ed at my school, but it was only offered during the summer. I only got to drive a couple hours too, but it helped some.





So.... I taught myself how to drive from there. I still haven't figured out how to drive a manual yet, but I'm only 21 so I've still got time to learn. I want an 80's Pontiac Fiero and most of them were manuals so I'll probably learn it sooner or later.
Well I got my permit and just drove with my parents... I took a few classes too, since they were required to get my license...
Well actually Gran Turismo taught me alot... and my instructor said he has never had a better student. Or maybe he was saying that cuz the two chicks with me were absolutely horrible. My story is actually pretty funny on how I learned stick. Let's just say if you go to the auto mall by me, don't go looking for a SRT-4.... poor thing. Anyway been driving stick for 3 years now and I'm never going back to auto.
i learned driving in late 1993 to mid 1994. For the first time, my father took me to a parking lot of a large mall. It was empty and i practiced there. Then i started going short distances near my home, alone.





An year or so passed doing this, then i could go interstate alone and drive wherever i want. That was accomplished in 1995.
i go to a driving school.there i have an instuctor.it's very efficient.

What is a good article to send to a parent who is homophobic and thinks that men should act like men?

Just tell them that they're wrong from the beginning. ';Men should act like men';? How do we know what manly behavior is?: Stereotypes that are based on archaic gender roles that don't make sense. Manly behavior is however a man acts: including gays.





You shouldn't need to prove anything to them. You know they're wrong. (A.K.A. sorry, I don't know any articles)What is a good article to send to a parent who is homophobic and thinks that men should act like men?
There aren't any really, except for showing him about stereotypes and that there not good. Really look my fathers the same, but no one can really change his mind.

  • When a parent is sick, how do you deal with your kids?

    Right now I'm sick as a dog. And I'm futzing on the computer as a way to distract myself. What do you other parents do with your kids when you're sick and they're not?When a parent is sick, how do you deal with your kids?
    I'm fortunate to have a network of friends and family to help out, but if I can't find anyone to watch my boys I set them up with movies and video games. Since I suffer from migraines, my children are pretty considerate when I don't feel well and will usually not bother me too much.When a parent is sick, how do you deal with your kids?
    well my kids are older now at 15, 15, 12 and 9 and they can pretty much take care of themselves. They are really good to me when I am sick.





    When they were little it was really difficult, I did as much as I absolutely had to and that was it. Sometimes they would watch more Tv than usual and luckily they've always had each other. My first born were twins so they have always had each other to play with. I remember sometimes giving cereal with milk to eat because I was too sick to cook. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get better sometimes.
    There is no other parent in my home...it's just my 7yo daughter and I. I do not get sick often, but when I do I explain to my daughter that I am not feeling well, and she steps right up and fends for herself. She makes her own self food, and entertains herself quietly. She even takes care of ME by bringing me food and iced tea, and bringing in her doctor kit to take my temp, listen to my heart and gives me pretend meds. I explain to her that she has a great empathetic personality and that she would make an excellent nurse or doctor! She does the house lock-down at night and makes sure all the dishes are in the sink. We make a game out of being sick...she gets a kick out of it, AND it sure does take the pressure off of me.
    When my pneumonia was full blown for 2 weeks (I'm just getting over this cough too, finally!), basically I ordered pizza or chinese for them each night that husband had to work late. Movies on Demand was a life saver. It might have racked up a bill, but it kept them occupied while I lied on the couch.


    I also took my time getting things done. If I got the dishes done in the morning, I might fold some laundry in the afternoon and call it a day (when I'm that sick).





    Hope you feel better soon.
    wow that hard but i try to put a movie on for my 2 year old give her some food n lay down its hard cus she asks for a lot of attention but i just give her intructions of what to do before i lay down i tell her if she has to go to the bathroom to just go i put out some toilet paper for her so she wont make a mess and i show her how to wash her hands but i have to repeat n repeat on everything!! or sometimes i try to just watch movies with her make her lay down next to me till shes calm n maybe falls asleep with me
    Suck it up, tell myself that I'm not that sick, and try to keep the kids out of my face to help reduce the chance of them getting sick.
    Suck it up. I'll admit we watch more tv than when I'm healthy...but sick or not, we still have to eat, they still need to be tended to, laundry still needs washing.





    My husband however, will collapse on the couch and moan...
    I get over my sickness and just deal with life. The world doesn't stop when I am sick.





    Make the kids a snack, pop in a DVD, and sleep on the couch while the kids watch the movie.
    I set my 9 year old son up with his fav movies and make a coral out of couch cushions for my 1 year old. I lay on the floor in a coma and hope they both stay put.
    My sister dumps her daughter on me. =]





    ^^^


    Note the smiley face. I love my niece.





    Maybe play board games or cards, or even watching a movie??





    Or play charades -- you're permanent judge. Laughter is the best medicine
    My daughter is pretty good at amusing herself, and can read a good book or sometimes she watches DVDs while mommy sleeps. I usually only have to get up to feed her.
    I don't need to do anything. He's 12 years old, so he only comes near me when he wants fed or wants money.

    Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?

    In Texas, a 14yr old girls parents got a divorce and she went to live with her father. She now wants to go live with her mother. Her mother wants the daughter to write a letter stating that she wants to live with her and have it notarized. Is this legal?Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?
    All it means to ';notarize'; something is that a person, a ';notary';, has to watch the person sign the document. The person signing has to provide proof that they are who they say they are. The point is to prove that the person who is believed to have signed the document actually did.





    There is no legal age one must reach before they can have their signature notarized. Where it may become more complicated is that the daughter must have some sort of ID or to be able to provide definite proof of identity. Some notaries MAY take a school ID, but some may require a state issued ID.





    This document can then provided to the court when a change of custody is requested. This is the other reason age does not matter. All the daughter is doing is stating a preference as to where she wants to live. The court still gets to decide what is in the best interest of the child.Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?
    Be advised that this best answer is incorrect as a matter of law.

    Report Abuse



    not unless she is an emancipated minor I dont believe at 14 it would be permitted in court.
    She could write a letter but a notory merley is a witness that she signed it, it has no legal bearing.





    What the mother has to do, is file for custoty with the court, there has to be a court hearing and the girl will have to testify in court.
    You have to be 18 in most states to sign a legal document and for it to be binding. They will probably have to appear before a judge to straighten this mess out.
    No u have to be of legal age if i am not mistaken to notorize a document but u might want to call a notory and ask them the rules they will be able to explain it to you.
    Yes it is that is what i did at twelve
    In TX, a child can request that a court allow the child to reside primarily with a different parent, however the family court must make the decision based upon what it believes is objectively ';in the child's best interests.';





    So, while a 14 year old can sign a statement requesting a different residence, and while a notary can certify the signature on the statement as being that of the child (assuming that the child has some legal form of identification), the child's statement is not, by itself sufficient to cause the court to modify custody or parenting to the child's satisfaction.





    If the child really wants to change residences, then the parent with whom the child wishes to reside, should file a motion to modify custody/parenting and have the child explain to the court why he/she wishes to make a change in residence.





    Hope this helps...
    A 14 yr. old can not make decisions for herself! If the parents go to court the judge will hear testimony and will decide on the child's best interest because she is a MINOR/CHILD!! If she wants to spend the money and getting a paper notarized go ahead but youre wasting your money!
    no, must be of legal age.
    key words HAVE IT NOTARIZED she has to go to a notory they are most likely to be in or around a courthouse
    Don't know about Texas, but in other states the person writing a letter such as mentioned must be of legal age. Please see an attorney.
    No body can notarize without a seal of Notary. A 14 year old can go to the bank [or other sources of notary but the banks easiest.] But no one [no matter the age] can notarize without the seal. You have to be at least 18 to get a seal. But a notarized letter is a good idea. It's not the complete answer. There are other things that need to be taken care of course. Like custody. But it's a good step.
    Yes if The Daughter Writes It
    yes i am 99% sure
    NO, A MINOR CAN NOT NOTARIZED ANY LEGAL DOCUMENT BECAUSE SHE IS A MINOR. BUT SHE CAN GO TO COURT AND SPEAK WITH A JUDGE AND GIVE HER REASONS TO WHY SHE WANTS TO LIVE WITH HER MOM.
    No, sorry sweetie, but you have to stay with who the Judge says untill you are 18. It sucks I know. I was stuck living with my mom. I tried everything.
    NO.......you have to go through a ';course'; to be a legal notary...100% sure
    No. Not an adult.
    it will be taken under advisement by a juge so who cares if its legal or not go for it it will way in tour favor good luck
    she can write the letter and take it and submitted to The Family Law Court , because only a Judge can give the final decision

    What is the best experience you had as a parent?

    every day is a new best experiance.... but if I had to choose only one, I would say the best day was when my son was born. I didn't take any kind of drugs for the pain, because it wasn't that painfull. It was cool because until the birth, I didn't know if I was having a girl or a boy. I wanted a boy, and that's what I got.What is the best experience you had as a parent?
    I just answered your ';worst experience';question lol.


    And if you read that answer, then you'll understand this one.





    My best experience was giving birth to my daughter, and she was 9 lbs and healthy and she doesn't have any health problems, (after being raped and having no prenatal care), she was beautiful and my husband (then was my boyfriend) refused to put her up for adoption, held her for the first time,kissed her %26amp; said ';This is my daughter,%26amp; she's beautiful. We're going to do this together';. Although she isn't his biological daughter, he loves her anyway and doesn't see her any differently. My family is the best thing that's ever happened to me %26amp; my daughter is my sunshine :] It's been really hard, but it's been worth it.What is the best experience you had as a parent?
    Encouraging both my children to take swim lessons even though I'm afraid of the water. It was such a wonderful feeling to see them take to it like fish without having to deal with my fear.





    Watching my daughter get up in front of people and speak without fear. Seeing her try out for things that I never, ever would have done and do it with pride.





    Having my son graduate earlier than expected from his articulation delay therapy.





    Having my son test out at grade level in reading and receiving a note home from the teacher acknowledging my help.





    Watching both of them grow and learn. Seeing how they take responsibility for themselves and their actions more and more each day.
    The day Hannah was born and they handed her to me and she looked in my eyes as if to say Hey Mommy! I was so happy for her to be here and knew what the true meaning of love was that day and I have enjoyed many great moments in raising two beautiful daughter's so far, and am now pregnant with a little boy

    Wrong topic!!
    clean up everything, clean my room and rearrange my clothing, get all my clothes and everything together for the next day, do my hair even shampoo it while i shower, talk on the phone, read a book get on the computer for 2 hours, eat then go to bed
    What I normally do: read, play X-Box, watch TV, do my homework, and chat on the phone. If you are not an avid fan of any of these things, try something creative (and time-consuming) like making a collage from all of your magazines (you know what you like so you cannot go wrong), decorating the walls in your bedroom, looking up recipes online and trying to make them, find constructive ways to exercise, etc. Whatever strikes your fancy. Good luck!

    As a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?

    How do I deal with the issue and how do I have open discussion with him without making him feel worse than he probably already does? I just don't want to say the wrong thing. I'm concerned that his girlfriend might be pregnant by someone else because she had cheated before behind his back. I was instructed by my lawyer that he should not sign any papers when the child is born until we get a DNA test. I want to talk to him about these things without making him defensive. Maybe some moms out there can give some advice who already went through this. Thanks!As a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?
    The very worst thing you can do is get the moms back up now doubting your sons the father, presume that he is the father and support her as its best to get her on side and sort the dna out behind her back as to not get her back up therefore if the child is proven to be your son's then a good relationship has not been taunted with accusations, if the child is not his make sure to keep all documents of monetery support and claim it back afterwards etc.


    forget that he did wrong its too late to put it back but accept and aknoledge your son is now about to become a father and encourage him to act his part and get involved. i can only imagine what i would do but all too often the mothers of the son always insist the child isnt theirs getting the mothers back up, avoid that and it could ensure a promising relationship between you and your g/child if itis proven to be yours, if its proven not to be then theres nothing lost just a lesson learnt.


    i agree dont sign any paper work if a reason has to come up then say and say it meaningfully that you believe and hope it is your sons but absoloute peace of mind you have to know and hope she understands, a lot lies within how you say things to ppl instead of what is said, tread carefully offer both him and her your unconditional support.


    good luckAs a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?
    First they both feel weirded out and scared by this so nothing will make them even worse. So just edge into the conversation. Ask about stuff like hows school going (watch for slipping grades due to this.) Then mention about the baby and ask him if there if any chance of the baby not being his? Say that its just you needing to be sure. Then when she gives birth be at the hospital in case it is his child but don't let your son sign anything get a DNA test and then go from there.Best of luck.
    just sit down %26amp; talk with him.


    ask him:


    what does he want to do with the baby %26amp; the baby's mother.


    does he think he can handle this or wat kind of help does he need.


    always assure him that he can count on u to talk to inb case he wants advice dont scream at him or make him feel more worse than he already does cuz that will make him feel like he doesnt want to talk with u b/c it makes him feel bad. so just support him but with certain rules and limits
    You do not want your son to do any thing till he knows the child is his once his name is on the birth firm he will be responciable and it is so hard to change afterward most judges are simple minded to things like this that are so easy to change. or correct
    My 16 y/o daughter just had her baby girl Ella Grace today!
    yep need a DNA test, I'd never trust a teenager when it come to the father of her child, they seen to pick out the father who they like best at the time
    OK I think that if you had a good open relationship with him in the past then you will be OK this time too, by the sounds of it you might not have but so i will take it from that premise!





    Tell him when the child is born and the test is done if it was him that he can blame you for the none signing the forms this should help him get back in some what with the GF! and might help him be OK with your help too





    as for making things worse well really how can you? he is most likely feeling so much perisher right now from his GF and your side of the family he would like to have someone on his side of the fence. while I know from what you have done so fare you do care and most likely love him, he is maybe not seeing that side of it, so maybe you should take him to the lawyer so that the lawyer can tell him directly and then let the lawyer know that your Son is now the client and not yourself so then he has some power in this hole thing?





    If he is going to be facing this then he will need help and maybe you should tell him that your there to lessen to him and to help him where and when you can.





    don't worry about making a mess of talking to him really there is no wrong way to do this talk





    Good luck with this
    just be there for him
    Just say something like i still love you, nothing can change that in the geinigng if i was knocked up thats what i would want my dad to tell me, also talk to him about the dna text i don't really belive theer is a nice way to say that, but he will soon see your point of view, also this girl won't like it much either but tell her it shouldn't be a problem if it's really his.
    Let him make his own mistakes. He is an adult.

    Right now I'm sick as a dog. And I'm futzing on the computer as a way to distract myself. What do you other parents do with your kids when you're sick and they're not?When a parent is sick, how do you deal with your kids?
    I'm fortunate to have a network of friends and family to help out, but if I can't find anyone to watch my boys I set them up with movies and video games. Since I suffer from migraines, my children are pretty considerate when I don't feel well and will usually not bother me too much.When a parent is sick, how do you deal with your kids?
    well my kids are older now at 15, 15, 12 and 9 and they can pretty much take care of themselves. They are really good to me when I am sick.





    When they were little it was really difficult, I did as much as I absolutely had to and that was it. Sometimes they would watch more Tv than usual and luckily they've always had each other. My first born were twins so they have always had each other to play with. I remember sometimes giving cereal with milk to eat because I was too sick to cook. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do to get better sometimes.
    There is no other parent in my home...it's just my 7yo daughter and I. I do not get sick often, but when I do I explain to my daughter that I am not feeling well, and she steps right up and fends for herself. She makes her own self food, and entertains herself quietly. She even takes care of ME by bringing me food and iced tea, and bringing in her doctor kit to take my temp, listen to my heart and gives me pretend meds. I explain to her that she has a great empathetic personality and that she would make an excellent nurse or doctor! She does the house lock-down at night and makes sure all the dishes are in the sink. We make a game out of being sick...she gets a kick out of it, AND it sure does take the pressure off of me.
    When my pneumonia was full blown for 2 weeks (I'm just getting over this cough too, finally!), basically I ordered pizza or chinese for them each night that husband had to work late. Movies on Demand was a life saver. It might have racked up a bill, but it kept them occupied while I lied on the couch.


    I also took my time getting things done. If I got the dishes done in the morning, I might fold some laundry in the afternoon and call it a day (when I'm that sick).





    Hope you feel better soon.
    wow that hard but i try to put a movie on for my 2 year old give her some food n lay down its hard cus she asks for a lot of attention but i just give her intructions of what to do before i lay down i tell her if she has to go to the bathroom to just go i put out some toilet paper for her so she wont make a mess and i show her how to wash her hands but i have to repeat n repeat on everything!! or sometimes i try to just watch movies with her make her lay down next to me till shes calm n maybe falls asleep with me
    Suck it up, tell myself that I'm not that sick, and try to keep the kids out of my face to help reduce the chance of them getting sick.
    Suck it up. I'll admit we watch more tv than when I'm healthy...but sick or not, we still have to eat, they still need to be tended to, laundry still needs washing.





    My husband however, will collapse on the couch and moan...
    I get over my sickness and just deal with life. The world doesn't stop when I am sick.





    Make the kids a snack, pop in a DVD, and sleep on the couch while the kids watch the movie.
    I set my 9 year old son up with his fav movies and make a coral out of couch cushions for my 1 year old. I lay on the floor in a coma and hope they both stay put.
    My sister dumps her daughter on me. =]

    Note the smiley face. I love my niece.





    Maybe play board games or cards, or even watching a movie??

    My daughter is pretty good at amusing herself, and can read a good book or sometimes she watches DVDs while mommy sleeps. I usually only have to get up to feed her.
    I don't need to do anything. He's 12 years old, so he only comes near me when he wants fed or wants money.

    Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?

    In Texas, a 14yr old girls parents got a divorce and she went to live with her father. She now wants to go live with her mother. Her mother wants the daughter to write a letter stating that she wants to live with her and have it notarized. Is this legal?Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?
    All it means to ';notarize'; something is that a person, a ';notary';, has to watch the person sign the document. The person signing has to provide proof that they are who they say they are. The point is to prove that the person who is believed to have signed the document actually did.





    There is no legal age one must reach before they can have their signature notarized. Where it may become more complicated is that the daughter must have some sort of ID or to be able to provide definite proof of identity. Some notaries MAY take a school ID, but some may require a state issued ID.





    This document can then provided to the court when a change of custody is requested. This is the other reason age does not matter. All the daughter is doing is stating a preference as to where she wants to live. The court still gets to decide what is in the best interest of the child.Can a 14yr old notarize a document stating which parent she wants to live with?
    Be advised that this best answer is incorrect as a matter of law.

    Report Abuse



    not unless she is an emancipated minor I dont believe at 14 it would be permitted in court.
    She could write a letter but a notory merley is a witness that she signed it, it has no legal bearing.





    What the mother has to do, is file for custoty with the court, there has to be a court hearing and the girl will have to testify in court.
    You have to be 18 in most states to sign a legal document and for it to be binding. They will probably have to appear before a judge to straighten this mess out.
    No u have to be of legal age if i am not mistaken to notorize a document but u might want to call a notory and ask them the rules they will be able to explain it to you.
    Yes it is that is what i did at twelve
    In TX, a child can request that a court allow the child to reside primarily with a different parent, however the family court must make the decision based upon what it believes is objectively ';in the child's best interests.';





    So, while a 14 year old can sign a statement requesting a different residence, and while a notary can certify the signature on the statement as being that of the child (assuming that the child has some legal form of identification), the child's statement is not, by itself sufficient to cause the court to modify custody or parenting to the child's satisfaction.





    If the child really wants to change residences, then the parent with whom the child wishes to reside, should file a motion to modify custody/parenting and have the child explain to the court why he/she wishes to make a change in residence.





    Hope this helps...
    A 14 yr. old can not make decisions for herself! If the parents go to court the judge will hear testimony and will decide on the child's best interest because she is a MINOR/CHILD!! If she wants to spend the money and getting a paper notarized go ahead but youre wasting your money!
    no, must be of legal age.
    key words HAVE IT NOTARIZED she has to go to a notory they are most likely to be in or around a courthouse
    Don't know about Texas, but in other states the person writing a letter such as mentioned must be of legal age. Please see an attorney.
    No body can notarize without a seal of Notary. A 14 year old can go to the bank [or other sources of notary but the banks easiest.] But no one [no matter the age] can notarize without the seal. You have to be at least 18 to get a seal. But a notarized letter is a good idea. It's not the complete answer. There are other things that need to be taken care of course. Like custody. But it's a good step.
    Yes if The Daughter Writes It
    yes i am 99% sure
    NO, A MINOR CAN NOT NOTARIZED ANY LEGAL DOCUMENT BECAUSE SHE IS A MINOR. BUT SHE CAN GO TO COURT AND SPEAK WITH A JUDGE AND GIVE HER REASONS TO WHY SHE WANTS TO LIVE WITH HER MOM.
    No, sorry sweetie, but you have to stay with who the Judge says untill you are 18. It sucks I know. I was stuck living with my mom. I tried everything.
    NO.......you have to go through a ';course'; to be a legal notary...100% sure
    No. Not an adult.
    it will be taken under advisement by a juge so who cares if its legal or not go for it it will way in tour favor good luck
    she can write the letter and take it and submitted to The Family Law Court , because only a Judge can give the final decision

    What is the best experience you had as a parent?

    every day is a new best experiance.... but if I had to choose only one, I would say the best day was when my son was born. I didn't take any kind of drugs for the pain, because it wasn't that painfull. It was cool because until the birth, I didn't know if I was having a girl or a boy. I wanted a boy, and that's what I got.What is the best experience you had as a parent?
    I just answered your ';worst experience';question lol.


    And if you read that answer, then you'll understand this one.





    My best experience was giving birth to my daughter, and she was 9 lbs and healthy and she doesn't have any health problems, (after being raped and having no prenatal care), she was beautiful and my husband (then was my boyfriend) refused to put her up for adoption, held her for the first time,kissed her %26amp; said ';This is my daughter,%26amp; she's beautiful. We're going to do this together';. Although she isn't his biological daughter, he loves her anyway and doesn't see her any differently. My family is the best thing that's ever happened to me %26amp; my daughter is my sunshine :] It's been really hard, but it's been worth it.What is the best experience you had as a parent?
    Encouraging both my children to take swim lessons even though I'm afraid of the water. It was such a wonderful feeling to see them take to it like fish without having to deal with my fear.





    Watching my daughter get up in front of people and speak without fear. Seeing her try out for things that I never, ever would have done and do it with pride.





    Having my son graduate earlier than expected from his articulation delay therapy.





    Having my son test out at grade level in reading and receiving a note home from the teacher acknowledging my help.





    Watching both of them grow and learn. Seeing how they take responsibility for themselves and their actions more and more each day.
    The day Hannah was born and they handed her to me and she looked in my eyes as if to say Hey Mommy! I was so happy for her to be here and knew what the true meaning of love was that day and I have enjoyed many great moments in raising two beautiful daughter's so far, and am now pregnant with a little boy

  • As a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?

    How do I deal with the issue and how do I have open discussion with him without making him feel worse than he probably already does? I just don't want to say the wrong thing. I'm concerned that his girlfriend might be pregnant by someone else because she had cheated before behind his back. I was instructed by my lawyer that he should not sign any papers when the child is born until we get a DNA test. I want to talk to him about these things without making him defensive. Maybe some moms out there can give some advice who already went through this. Thanks!As a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?
    The very worst thing you can do is get the moms back up now doubting your sons the father, presume that he is the father and support her as its best to get her on side and sort the dna out behind her back as to not get her back up therefore if the child is proven to be your son's then a good relationship has not been taunted with accusations, if the child is not his make sure to keep all documents of monetery support and claim it back afterwards etc.


    forget that he did wrong its too late to put it back but accept and aknoledge your son is now about to become a father and encourage him to act his part and get involved. i can only imagine what i would do but all too often the mothers of the son always insist the child isnt theirs getting the mothers back up, avoid that and it could ensure a promising relationship between you and your g/child if itis proven to be yours, if its proven not to be then theres nothing lost just a lesson learnt.


    i agree dont sign any paper work if a reason has to come up then say and say it meaningfully that you believe and hope it is your sons but absoloute peace of mind you have to know and hope she understands, a lot lies within how you say things to ppl instead of what is said, tread carefully offer both him and her your unconditional support.


    good luckAs a parent, how do you deal with your teen having a child?
    First they both feel weirded out and scared by this so nothing will make them even worse. So just edge into the conversation. Ask about stuff like hows school going (watch for slipping grades due to this.) Then mention about the baby and ask him if there if any chance of the baby not being his? Say that its just you needing to be sure. Then when she gives birth be at the hospital in case it is his child but don't let your son sign anything get a DNA test and then go from there.Best of luck.
    just sit down %26amp; talk with him.


    ask him:


    what does he want to do with the baby %26amp; the baby's mother.


    does he think he can handle this or wat kind of help does he need.


    always assure him that he can count on u to talk to inb case he wants advice dont scream at him or make him feel more worse than he already does cuz that will make him feel like he doesnt want to talk with u b/c it makes him feel bad. so just support him but with certain rules and limits
    You do not want your son to do any thing till he knows the child is his once his name is on the birth firm he will be responciable and it is so hard to change afterward most judges are simple minded to things like this that are so easy to change. or correct
    My 16 y/o daughter just had her baby girl Ella Grace today!
    yep need a DNA test, I'd never trust a teenager when it come to the father of her child, they seen to pick out the father who they like best at the time
    OK I think that if you had a good open relationship with him in the past then you will be OK this time too, by the sounds of it you might not have but so i will take it from that premise!





    Tell him when the child is born and the test is done if it was him that he can blame you for the none signing the forms this should help him get back in some what with the GF! and might help him be OK with your help too





    as for making things worse well really how can you? he is most likely feeling so much perisher right now from his GF and your side of the family he would like to have someone on his side of the fence. while I know from what you have done so fare you do care and most likely love him, he is maybe not seeing that side of it, so maybe you should take him to the lawyer so that the lawyer can tell him directly and then let the lawyer know that your Son is now the client and not yourself so then he has some power in this hole thing?





    If he is going to be facing this then he will need help and maybe you should tell him that your there to lessen to him and to help him where and when you can.





    don't worry about making a mess of talking to him really there is no wrong way to do this talk





    Good luck with this
    just be there for him
    Just say something like i still love you, nothing can change that in the geinigng if i was knocked up thats what i would want my dad to tell me, also talk to him about the dna text i don't really belive theer is a nice way to say that, but he will soon see your point of view, also this girl won't like it much either but tell her it shouldn't be a problem if it's really his.
    Let him make his own mistakes. He is an adult.

    Can a parent make you have a termination if your a teenager?

    what are your rights if you want to keep the baby and are under 16 can your parents force you to have a termination?Can a parent make you have a termination if your a teenager?
    No it is your baby. You are that baby's mommy. Thank you so much for loving your baby so much that you want to keep it and not kill it. I will pray for you. But your parents cannot force you to do anything. It is your body and your baby. You make the decisions for your baby. You're the mom. Even if you are young. Good luck and God bless. Again I am proud of you for loving your baby so much.Can a parent make you have a termination if your a teenager?
    Its my opinion! But, no they can't. Its your decision and your body. They only have to consent if you want to terminate, not the other way around.
    If you do not want to have an abortion, I would not call Planned Parenthood. I have a friend (married, BTW) who was pregnant %26amp; went there because she thought they would be helpful. Her %26amp; her husband were very excited about the baby, but the counselor kept pushing for her to have an abortion.





    If you want to have the baby (and either keep it or give it up for adoption), call a crisis pregnancy center or a local church to find someone to help you.
    Why in the world would you want to have a baby when your just a baby yourself. Believe me, you have your whole life ahead of you to get married and have children. It's hard enough to raise a child when you have 2 jobs, let alone no job.. I know, we're all against you because your a kid. Well guess what? If you were a responsible person you wouldn't be in this mess. As for your question, Yes, your parents are responsible for you, so listen to them, they only have your best interest in mind and are thinking of your future. Good Luck to you Honey, my prayers are with you.
    I'm more than sure that your parents can't make you terminate your baby they might make life hell for you but i don't think so go to a free clinic they they can give you all of your rights about this and they'll be 100% right
    your parents have no right to the child.. it is yours... if you want to keep your baby then there is nothing that they can do about it... i hope all goes well for you and good luck sweetie
    Who knows.





    The BIG question is, who is going to raise the child? Not the 16-year-old unwed mother, that's for sure: no husband; no job; no home; no savings; no insurance; no nothing. All SHE is qualified to do is babysit her own offspring in her parents' house.





    This is not right.
    Legally you're still a minor, but it's your body hey!!! And your baby... I think you should think about what will happen if you do keep the baby.... What's best for you? And then talk to your parents, and if they won't reason I suggest you talk to a counsellor or someone you trust and then consult the legal laws.


    Good - Luck, and remember you're not alone.


    Karina
    not that i know of but some states are different but besides they would probably have to take you to court and have you ordered to do so...if you are a teen i would suggest you do whats best for you and not having a baby is best...i have been in the same situation years ago...at the time i thought having a baby would be best since i was already pregnant but let me tell you once you grow and mature completely you will realize that teens cant fully succeed in life when they have a baby...you dont want your whole life to be a struggle
    Contact this website. I do not believe you parents can force you to terminate a pregnancy against your will.
    No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they can not force you to do anything. contact a planned parent hood in your area and they can help you. just google planned parent hood in _________(whereever you live.) good luck
    Legally they cant force you to have an abortion but if you keep it and your parents are totally against it what happens?
    no they cant they can tell you to get one but it is your chosse but make the right one you still have your whole life ahead of you dont make a mistake. can you take care of a baby by yourself with out your folks help THANK ABOUT IT
    Depends on the state. You should type ';Abortion laws'; and your state name into Yahoo Search for answers.
    no as soon as you are pregnant you become an adult by law


    you and only you get to decide what to do with your baby


    if your parents want to terminate and you don't you can leave


    stay with a friend and contact social services so they can help get you some options, housing, medical coverage, transportation to and from school and/ or work
    No they can not. It has to be your name that is signed to the form and if you say no and don't sign they can not do anything to you.
    no, however, in some states if you want to have a baby, your parents are no longer legally held to taking care of you or the baby.
    I don't know, I suggest you contact your local Planned Parenthood orginization.
    No they can't. It's your body, your child.
    don't you mean ';abortion';, not termination?
    seek help. go to planned parenthood. they can not force you to teminate the baby. even if your under 18. dont let yourself be convinced, or forced. get help. im really sorry for what your going through, but regardless of the age, a baby is a blessing.
    Last I knew you could not make anyone have an abortion. I suggest you contact your local helpline and ask for the nearest pregnancy center for teens. They have home that help you become educated, with the baby, medical, and expenses while you learn about becomming a parent and providing for you baby.
    If you under 16 then yes they can. You are a minor and subject to your parents wishes. Thank goodness too as a world full of under age Mums would be a sad one.
    They should have a say in it and it is your choice to terminte it or keep it. It's your responsibility...your child.

    Should a parent whose child injures or kills a student at school with a handgun be charged with a felony?

    Whats is your opinion and Why!?Should a parent whose child injures or kills a student at school with a handgun be charged with a felony?
    No, because most kids today are self centered and will not do as their parents direct because of the Liberal attitude of the government and the fostering of that belief in the education establishment.


    Because of that I believe any student who commits a crime of this level, particularly with a gun should be EXECUTED and the Liberal establishment made to watch.Should a parent whose child injures or kills a student at school with a handgun be charged with a felony?
    It depends on the circumstances. I'd need to know more about the situation to give a reasonable answer.





    How old is the child? How did they get hold of the gun? Whose gun is it? What were the circumstances of the shooting?





    I can imagine circumstances where the child could be awarded a medal for saving his classmates from a would-be mass killer. I can imagine other circumstances where the child and their parents are both charged with multiple felonies. Or the whole thing could be treated as a tragic accident. It's not a simple question.
    Yes the parent(s) should be charged with something. It is our responsibility to ensure our children as well as others are safe from harm. If a child has access to something like that, then there is neglect on behalf of the parent(s). Guns should be properly stored in a safe or lock-box and the keys should be in a place that a child cannot locate them.
    Of course. Where the hell would they get a handgun in the first place. The parent wouldn't have to answer that question in the first place if they had been taking care of their kid. There are a few charges the parents should be stuck with on that one. If they are responsible for anything else the kid does before they are 18, why is this different?
    It depends. Did the parents leave the gun lying around?
    Yes, its murder.

    As the parent of a 17 year old daughter,would you stress consequences of sex or attempt to keep her from it?

    Would you allow her to make her own choices in this situation and address consequences and help her make wise choices or would you try tell her ';Don't do it'; and restrict her to keep her away from it.As the parent of a 17 year old daughter,would you stress consequences of sex or attempt to keep her from it?
    Forbidding a teenager from doing something is the quickest way to make sure that they do exactly what you told them not too. I think you should be open with your daughter and talk about all of the great things as well as the terrible consequences of having sex. Tell her how great it is to be with a man that you really love and how dangerous it can be to have unprotected sex. You should also talk to her about different methods of contraception. There are a ton of new pills and devices to use and if she knows about them she is more likely to use one of them.





    In just a year she will be old enough to leave the nest. You need to make sure she isn't naive to the world before she leaves home. Good luck!As the parent of a 17 year old daughter,would you stress consequences of sex or attempt to keep her from it?
    Kids her age think they know it all and it is very hard to change their mindset. Remember, we were just the same at that age. It is very important to keep an open line of communication. It would practically be impossible to keep her from having sex when sex is everywhere, books, magazines, television shows, etc.





    You need to educate her in a nonjudgmental way, it is important for both of you to be comfortable with each other when it comes to talking about sex. Give her information about STD's, pregnancy, birth control, and relationship issues. Talk to her the importance of purity, tell her that her body belongs to her and to always remember ';some things you just cannot wash off your body';. Tell her that sometimes there is no turning back and she could do things that she would regret.





    Temptation is strong and we all are human. Yes, you do not want her to have sex, but you have to be realistic.





    Tell her no matter what (and stick to it) that you will always be there for her and love and forgive her.





    There are many books out there that you can give her to read that tell all the facts, there are so many mis-truths regarding sexual issues such as ';you cannot get pregnant on your period';.





    Good Luck!
    You prepare her and tell her of the consequences. You can try to restrict her but this usually does not work. It is not the best route to take. My children have been advised against it but they have also been very well educated on the consequences and effects of it. They also know how to protect themselves and where to go to get it. Leaving them ignorant and vulnerable is not the answer.
    lol... they're kind of individual. My daughter is 15 and I'm looking at this dilemma coming up.





    At 17, I wouldn't restrict her, but I certainly wouldn't facilitate it either. At home dates should be chaperoned, at either house... and yet you can't control if she lies to you about going to a guy's house when his parents aren't home, or even has someone over when you're not home and you're trusting her.





    I would (and will) make the rules, expect her to abide by them, and also make sure she understands the importance of condoms in a young, sexually active woman's life, and that hormonal birth control doesn't replace them as it doesn't protect against STDs.





    So I guess what I'm saying is that I'm treating it as two separate issues. Do not facilitate the access, but encourage strong health decisions, and allow birth control to be prescribed if you think it's prudent.
    It all depends on the teenager and the structure of discipline that already exists. If your child is already in the habit of doing what you say, then you may be able just to tell her that would not approve and then go into further details. If she has older brothers, you could have a small family discussion about the issue and I'm sure that they would express disappointment if she had sex as well.





    Another way is just to not be a push over parent. If you don't feel comfortable about her going to a friends house or dating someone, step up. Otherwise boys will take every opportunity to get her to give in.
    Well, I went through this with my own daughter when she was growing up. She is now the mother of 5. She has been married for 12 yrs and the kids all have the same daddy.


    At this age your daughter is going to make her own choices regardless of what you say or do. She is almost an adult. It would be nice to have a good relationship with her especially at this stage in her life but the decision is actually hers. However, I would sit down with her and speak with her about the consequences of her behavior and the ins and outs of the sexual experience. You will need alot of uninterrupted time to sit down and talk to her. It can be a very long and deep conversation to have with your daughter. Just let her know that you love her and trust her to make the right decisions. Let her know exactly how you feel on the subject and then let her decide how she will handle it becaise, ultimately, she will anyway. If she knows you trust her to make her own decisions she is likely to make wise choices. I was always open with my daughter about sex but I did not pull any punches when I told her my feelings on the subject. She respected my take on it and made wise decisions regarding sex. We need to give our daughters more credit than we do regarding this subject. They can surprise you as to how responsible they can be about it. Good luck. At any rate just let your daughter know that you are there and will always be there if she needs you.


    By the way...good luck trying to read some of the posts. One in particular doesn't seem to have learned anything in school such as writing and spelling. Its so annoying when people don't write the English language as it should be! Shows total lack of respect for our country's language!
    The more you restrict the more she will pull in the opposite direction so I'de advise speaking to her as if she is an adult (because she almost is) and talking about the consequences of her actions and where she see's her own life going as far as goals, career, family etc. Treating her as an intelligent person and having a respectfull discussion should get you further....good luck.
    as a 17 year old girl, i would like a mother to develop a comfortable relationship and depending on if she is going out with people or someone, then i would sit her down and discuss it. My mum and i are very close, and i went to her and told her. colleges and schooling drill it in not too do it and what the consequences are, so she will be aware of all that, and to be told not to do it, just makes people want to do it more. So i wouldn't make a big deal out of it, and make it into a general topic of conversation.
    I think that I would talk to her about the consequences( pregnancy, STDs, Even Emotional attachment) I think you should just talk with her and tell her the truth about sex. I personally waiting until marriage is the right thing to tell her, however this is not the most common idea.


    Tell her she can talk to you.
    I am almost sixteen and understand that by my mom restricting it only makes it worse..


    Let her make the decision and just be open so that she can actually talk to you about it.. it's better that she does it and you know so that she can be doing it safely rather than restricting it and having her do it behind your back and winding up in a sticky situation.
    Personnally, I would stress the consequences and keep an open line of communication. I would tell her you would prefer she not do it, but if she decides to do it here is the information about it.





    I feel for you. I have a 17 year old boy. I just try to keep that communication open.
    You tell both sides of the story.





    Sex is a wonderful thing but it comes with risks like STDs, pregnancy, and just because a guy does it with you doesn't mean he is in love with you.





    She'll discover both sides on her own, so you are simply giving her the short path.





    Also for restricting. Well, that is like stretching a rubber band. Sooner or later it snaps back or breaks. Short term fix at best given 18 is around the corner.
    No i wouldnt keep ha away 4rm it cuz the more u do da mo she wud want it...and if you keep ha locked up she will get wild and have a reputation in the streets.but if she is a gud girl.....she should know that you are only trying to protect ha and is concern about ha as a parent should be!! becuz havin sex can get you a baby or a dease!! but if she dnt want to listen let her bump ha head and learn if she dnt n continues to do it...ask god and pray it wud b alright
    You can't keep her from it. You should very much stress the consequences. All too often they get pregnant and just don't know how that happened. Life takes a nasty turn at that point. My 16 month old granddaughter lives with us now because her mother made that mistake and now can't support her. We love her to death but would have been happier had she come a few years later.
    She's 17. She's a not a little kid anymore. She's almost a legal adult, and it is probably legal for her to have sex if she wants (though it depends on where you live).


    You should tell her the facts! She deserves to know them, and it's normal for people that age to have sex, so make sure she is safe if she chooses to have sex.
    both...she gotta understand the consequences as well as a warning...Like if u give a warning she'll think ur demanding something but if u only explain she'll think she's smart and go ahead..so give both warning and consequences....Hear wat she has to tell as well.Listen to teen girls.A caring patient-to-listen is wat a teen girl needs.Only then will she value ur advice.
    I would let her make her own choices she would be old enough to make them and I would hope and believe that I have taught her enough to make the right choices when it comes to sex I would be happy and have faith in my baby
    Stress the consequences, offer education. Ask for honesty. If she says she is having sex, offer to get her to the doctor so she can get on the pill. Do not be judgmental.
    Let her have her own choices and tell her the consequences because if you tell her not to do it then she would try to do it too get back at you.
    Let her know the consequences but from that point it is up to her. She is of age.

    Why my parent never tell me i am adopted and they alway hide from me?

    When i was little kid never knew i am adopted until family member never speak to me at all..one kid walk to me said ';you not my real cousin and you are adopted must leave stay away'; I didn't word at all..I already turn age 26 still wonder why they still didn't tell me that I am adopt also they alway add up story make me very confuse. what I do something or I should ask them prove tell me the truth?Why my parent never tell me i am adopted and they alway hide from me?
    I am adopted as well. My situation is very different from yours though. I knew from a young age that my parents did not care what happened to me. I knew that my grandparents were going to raise my brother and I because of a horrible situation. Still, I struggle with the whole process of understanding what happened.


    For your situation I think that your adopted parents were trying to protect you. You were not a birth child of theirs but you were chosen to be their child. They wanted you and loved you. I know it is hard to understand and you probably never will. But just know that you are special and they wanted you, regardless of what your cousin says.Why my parent never tell me i am adopted and they alway hide from me?
    ask to tell the truth


    something like that shouldnt be hidden from you


    and you will probally wnat to know what happened to your real parents
    hav a sit down with ur parents and tell them to tell u the truth etc
    I wouldn't make them tell the truth, because the truth may hurt even more. The fact is, you deserve to know the truth. Take me, for example. I walked around when I was a child wishing I had a father, and it took another family member to inform me who my father was. It turned out that he was a distant cousin 12 years my mother's senior; at the time she was 17 and he raped her. She and my grandmother chose to think they were protecting me by keeping me away from him. The sad fact is that he died from brain cancer at the age of 31 after I turned 2 years old. My mother did not want me and the fact that she died without ever revealing to me who my father was hurts me a lot. The part of life that I hate is that I never got a chance to know him and I have sisters and brothers that never knew about me. The fact that they bothered to even adopt you tells me that they love you anyway and for people to be so jealous they would tell you that I consider mean.

    Have you ever experience a paranormal encounter from a parent? if so what happend?

    my dad died 2 months ago and i keep thinking he will visit but he hasn't.Have you ever experience a paranormal encounter from a parent? if so what happend?
    I've had contact with my father, who died about 6 years ago. He has a distinctive voice, plus he's got a new york accent to boot, so it's one I'll never forget. But I was sitting in the kitchen one day when I heard his voice, clear as day, say, ';Hello, Joanne';, coming from directly in front of me. It was how he greeted me whenever he called me. I'd heard his voice before, in that half asleep half awake state, but I never believed it, thought surely I was imagining it, but this time I was wide awake. Was neat.





    your father.... are you sensitive at all? If not, he may very well be there with you, chances are he looks in on you, but you just aren't aware of it? Ever smell anything that reminds you of him? Like if he liked pipe tobacco say, and you suddenly smell that scent when nobody in the house smokes at all??Have you ever experience a paranormal encounter from a parent? if so what happend?
    sorry to break the bad news but he won't ';visit'; as he's dead.


    my father died a bit over 2 years ago and i know exactly where he is, if there's going to be a visit it will be me going to his grave, that's the only way.

  • Does short term disability cover employees caring for a parent recovering from torn rotor surgery?

    If your question is about a specific policy for the company you work for, your best bet is to contact human resources for information. You might ask them if they have a personal leave benefit.





    As far as State Disability, my guess would be no. That's just aimed at the patient, not their helpers.

    Do you still have to wait to 6 months to get your license even if under the Parent Taught Driver Education?

    I want to get my license but i dont wait 6 months:/


    I live in texas/Do you still have to wait to 6 months to get your license even if under the Parent Taught Driver Education?
    Texas rules are simple enough. Parent taught, or driving school, either one works. Then, per the web page:





    In order to obtain an unrestricted driver license, the following documents must be presented upon returning to the Driver License Office.





    Valid Instruction Permit (minimum age 16 and held a VALID Instruction Permit for a 6 month period)Do you still have to wait to 6 months to get your license even if under the Parent Taught Driver Education?
    If you mean 6 months from the time that you obtain your learners permit, the answer is yes, you have to wait.





    You're supposed to be doing the lessons and driving practice during that time.

    Why blood types many not be a great method of determining which baby belongs to which parent?

    explain pleaseWhy blood types many not be a great method of determining which baby belongs to which parent?
    I'm going to assume that you allready know how blood types work (A %26amp; B are co-dominant and O is recessive)





    Paternity testing using blood types only works in certain situations. For example; if the baby is type O and the dad is type AB there is no way the child can be his because in order for the child to be O it would have had to have inherited an O from dad, but daddy didn't have one.


    On the other hand if the baby was type A and dad was type AB, the baby could be his, but there is no way to know for sure, lots of people have type A or type AB blood.





    Bottom line: the only thing that blood typing can do is eliminate potential fathers in some situations, it really can't confirm with certainty who is the father, only DNA testing can do that.

    My parent died. Can I still transfer their money into my account?

    My parent died and I was wondering if I can transfer their balance in their accounts into mine. I have their usernames and passwords to do online transfers.My parent died. Can I still transfer their money into my account?
    No, that is called stealing. The estate has to be settled first. If you are entitled to any of the money, you will have to wait. My parent died. Can I still transfer their money into my account?
    Your parents should have had a will, if not, you may have a long wait to get your hands on their money! The only way I can think of - and it's too late now to try it, the transaction should have been done BEFORE they died! After death, you can't touch their account!
    No. The banks employ people to look up death notices in the newspaper and match them with existing accounts. The account is probably frozen. The money is now party of the estate, and will be divided up according to the will.


    You no longer have access to the account.
    Did s/he have a will? It would be up to the executor of the estate. All debts must be satisfied before any part of the estate is transferred.
    Not a good idea. You can get into serious trouble.

    How can a child have his non-custodial parent gain custody?

    A lot depends on the age of the child in the jurisdiction in which he resides. In Texas, for instance, a child as young as 10 has the ear of the Family Law court as to his preferences.





    Then, the court can appoint a guardian ad litem who represents the child non-partially toward either parent.





    The parent seeking custody must have a good lawyer and no doubt home studies of each parent's home environment and lifestyle will be ordered by the court. All of this costs money of course. Often LOTS of money.





    If the custodial parent is proven un-fit as the person above me says, and the non-custodial parent IS fit, it will most likely be a slam dunk. But if the only reason the non-custodial parent is seeking custody is to shift the child support payments, for example, success is unlikely.





    If you are the non-custodial parent in this case, and what you want is more time with your child, and you are not simply seeking a reduction in expenses or some kind of revenge against the child's other parent, and the other parent is not unfit, and you are a fit parent, I highly recommend that you attempt mediation before you go the more aggressive route outlined above. See if you two and your attorneys can't work out a custody arrangement better for your child than the current one. It is ALWAYS better for the children of divorce when the parents work together for the child's welfare, instead of placing the innocent in the middle where he always ends up feeling as though he somehow caused it all.How can a child have his non-custodial parent gain custody?
    Sorry, but you will have to fight, fight and fight some more. There is no easy way to do this. You will have to file a custody petition and then as your case is heard prove that the other parent is unfit. It might be best to try to get shared custody.How can a child have his non-custodial parent gain custody?
    Thats a hard one,you are gonna have to prove the other parent unfit
    In the case of many states, when you reach a certain age (like in OKlahoma it is 13), you can go before the court and they will let you choose which parent you want to have custody over you. That parent, of course has to be willing and deemed suitable by the court.

But the ReichWingers have managed to fearmonger young girls into thinking that abortion is murder. so women choose to not abort, which impoverishes them.

    Because society does not discourage it like it used to.

    What % of black adults get insurance at work? What % of black kids get it through a parent's job? Is that?

    ... racist?What % of black adults get insurance at work? What % of black kids get it through a parent's job? Is that?
    Probably nearly 100% with jobs.What % of black adults get insurance at work? What % of black kids get it through a parent's job? Is that?
    Sorry I don't have the statistics so I can't really answer that portion of your anawer.





    But many americans are fortunate enough to work for companies that provide health insurance. For the companies that do provide insurance I don't think that just the black employee receive health insurance. For the companies that do provide insurance - I believe as long as you qualify for it (work a certain amount of hours) you are eligble.





    But just because a job offers it, you are not required to accept it. Their plan may not work to ones benefit so they may choose to purchase insurance on thier own.





    There are some smaller companies that cant afford to provide insurance to their employees but i'm pretty sure white people work for those companies too.





    Does that answer your question?
    If these people work at jobs that offer insurance 100% of them would be covered if they chose the option. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
    Since when did a job have to provide insurance? It's a benefit, not a right.

    Is it possible to get depression from a parent who has previously had it??

    My mother used to be depressed and she got antidepressiants and after she got off the antidepressiants i went into really deep depression. is it possible that i got it from my mom?Is it possible to get depression from a parent who has previously had it??
    It is possible that you have inherited a mental health issue from your mom. Currently the mental health community believes that most people born to a parent with mental health issues has an increased chance of developing a mental health problem of their own at some point in life. Obviously the chance would be even greater if both parents have such problems. However, there is no guarantee that anyone will develop any mental disorder. Most do, but some do not. There is also no promise tha a person with no family history will not experience some type of mental issues. It's really a luck of the draw type of deal. The good news is that most mental health disorders can be well controlled with proper treatment. This involves a number of therapies including Anger Management, Behavioral, Drug and Cognitive Thinking Therapies or a combination of them. Most are Talk Therapies, but Drug Therapy is most common and most effective. It takes time and a little patience to find the right drug, combination of drugs and the correct dosage of each to achieve a proper balance in mood while limiting the severity of side effects. Be patient it is possible to live normally.





    The link below is excellent for finding information on mental Health.





    Sincerely,


    TerryIs it possible to get depression from a parent who has previously had it??
    NO, and if anyone tells you that, they are insane. Life is what you make it, you can find good out of every situation. I had a rough life and............................ if I focused on my parents mental status I would probably be on drugs or dead. You have the choice to create your own destiny so, keep your head up and be your own person.
    yes it can be genetic problem even ur grand ma had it u could have a depression too.


    but do not stick this to ur mind, that if mum had this so i have it now ,and i cant be okay again!cause its gentically.


    no, u can become okay , plz be more patient and strong and try to tell urself i can over come with this problem without using medicines.


    try to go out alot, i know for the ppl who have depression its too hard to socialize and goin out alot, but go with the person who u really love her/him and be with freinds, go swimming, give ur self time and go on with this way.


    if u saw u didnt get any result then start see a theraphist .


    take care of urself


    dont forget be strong
    I think so
    Depression is the lack of certain chemicals in the brain, so, yes, it can be genetic.
    Yes, depression is inherited. My mother had clinical depression, but didn't get diagnosed until she was in her 70's. I just remember growing up in a house where mom was always crying, then when I had kids, the same thing happened. Now we are both on meds, and feeling better about our lives.
    The memories of living with a depressed person is probably causing your depression.
    Depression is NOT CONTAGIOUS. But yes, you could have get it from her. It's normal that living with somebody who suffers from depression, unless you are strong enough you may end up with the same pesimistic and sad views. But if ur mum overcame it, You can too.
    only if youre hanging around that person too much
    ...It's not contagious, no. Genetic, maybe, but it's not a flu, you can't ';catch'; it.
    certain mental disorders where depression is one of the symptoms do seem to have a higher percentage rate in children whose parents suffered from the same disorders
    the current belief is that depression is hereditary, so it is possible. but you cant ';catch'; it from someone like you can the flu. because she went off her medication doesnt mean you ';got'; it from her. you may have just been predisposed and it was poor timing, or maybe the stress of her going off her medications affected you somehow.
    it can be genetic and also can get it by seeing depressed ones. I tried to look for some explanations about the source of the illness but I only found this, hope it helps ;)
    The answer is a two fold, yes. The tendency to develop a mood disorder is not only hereditary but there's the fact that you were living in the environment with someone who was depressed. Depressed people who are NOT being treated for their illness deal with those around them differently. Most of my childhood my mother was so caught up in her own ';stuff'; that there's no way she could be there for her kids. We grew up afraid of her, and afraid of everything- plus our self-esteem was worthless because of the way she treated us.





    In my early 30's, I was finally diagnosed bipolar. Meds helped me, but the harder part was getting over the emotional scars from being raised that way. My mother (in her late 40's after we were pretty well grown and out of the house) pulled out of her depression, found Unity and positive thinking- and honest goodness is worse in many ways now.
    not in the sense that its contagious, but yes in the sense that its genetic, both my parents have had depression, and i sure do. thanks a bunch mom %26amp; dad!

  • What are ways to juggle the needs of your teenager with the needs of a single parent?

    My son has turned 16. He has taken driver's ed, but here they require 6 months of driving on an instruction permit before he gets his license. That won't happen until December. It now looks like he has just been hired for his first job. It is kind of down the street but probably a good 1.5 miles if he needed to walk it. I work on the other side of town - so it becomes difficult for me to take him with any consistency. What resources have you used to fill this transportation gap?What are ways to juggle the needs of your teenager with the needs of a single parent?
    Take public transportation, cab, or walk. Maybe he can pay a friend or co worker for a ride to or from work.What are ways to juggle the needs of your teenager with the needs of a single parent?
    A mile and a half? walk, run, jog, bike. He'll be healthier.
    Mile and a half? Get him a bike.... It'll be good for him.

    If Parent company A owns 80% of subsidiary B, and subsidiary B makes $100,000 in profit. How are they taxed?

    If Parent company A owns 80% of subsidiary B, and subsidiary B makes $100,000 in profit. I believe Parent Company A reieves $80,000, (80%X$100,000= $80,000). true or false?





    It is also my understanding that if a parent company owns at least 80% of a subsidiary, the parent company is allowed to recieve tax free dividends.





    QUESTION 1: Does subsidiary B pay taxes for $20,000? Or does subsidiary B pay taxes for the whole $100,000?





    QUESTION 2: If the parent company wants to recieve tax free dividends, will the subsidiary need to be a corporation or can the sub be an LLC? (Can LLC's even distribute ';dividends';?)





    QUESTION 3: If Parent Company A is a single member LLC being taxed as a disregarded entity, how should the subsidiary be set up? Does the subsidiary need to be an LLC taxed as a corporation or taxed as a disregarded entity like the parent? Or should the subsidiary be a strait up corporation (C-Corp or S-Corp) %26amp; why?





    Please explain in detail %26amp; I dont mind long answers. THANKSIf Parent company A owns 80% of subsidiary B, and subsidiary B makes $100,000 in profit. How are they taxed?

    Perhaps the answer is buried somewhere in your accounting textbook!
