anythingHow do you spend your night alone while your parent(s) are at work til' 5 something in the morning?
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.

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.moisturizing cream

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?

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.

if you're under 18 you have to have 6 hours of driver training from an instructor and at least 50 hours of driving with your parents to get your license. if you're over 18 you can just drive with your parents or someone who is over 25 no need for an instructor but it's still good you get one.

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. =]

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.
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
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.

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...
