NO LOVE.............

I find it weird that my boyfriend's family doesn't say I love you or gives hugs and kisses. I'm very affectionate with my famil and my boyfriend is very affectionate with me....but him and his family don't show the same affection towards each other and I just think its odd. What do you guys thinks?????

Is it illegal to "wash a kids mouth out with soap"

Just wondering?

Or considered abuse?

Update: May 16, 2012.
Yes my mom did that to me when I was a kid and talked back! I guess I was abused.

vaccinations for babies: are you for or against?

I received all my vaccinations (32 years ago) and didnt experience any problems. I always thought it was normal to have your baby vaccinated. however recently some of my friends with kids are banning them, due to certain risks that *potentially* outweigh the benfits. What is the real scoop? What did you choose to do for your child, pending they were born recently? I also thought that mot school systems wouldnt allow your child to attend had they not received all the 'standard' vaccinations....

cloth diapers: are they worth the mess? are they just as comfortable for your baby as disposables?

Im thinking of the cost benefits associated with using cloth diapers. However, my concern would be the cleaning process. Would this cause one's washing machine to become contaminated with bacteria? Would the baby feel just as comfortable in a cloth diaper as in a disposable? Are they as "secure" (in terms of preventing leaks, etc)?

How should parents be punished when they somehow think they're doing the right thing?

I know it's not the same thing as the pop'd question but what do you do when parents do destructive things to their kids while thinking they're doing well?

There's a case in the US right now where a couple shaved their daughter's head, put her in a diaper and then made her run back and forth outside. They've since lost their kids. Apparently they were laughing and joking in the police car as they were being carted off to the station that this was a simple matter of parenting.

Is it illegal and considered child abuse if you dont feed your kid dinner one night?

I told my kids after school today to clean their rooms and they'd get a special treat. And NO ONE eats dinner until their rooms are clean. One of them is refusing to clean. Throwing fits and screaming.

So is it illegal?

Update: May 15, 2012.
I did end up feeding her any way after she refused to clean. Just didnt get cheese or crackers in her chili unlike everyone else or ice cream as a snack. An 8 year old throwing a fit? Oh, yeah, it happens. Kids dont listen 100% of the time. Calling me a bad parent because I want to teach my children to be clean people? They clean very slow and they were hungry and eat 4-6 times a day. It sped up the process. Not bad parenting, I gave birth to my children, it is me who feeds them warm meals every day, hugs, kisses, waking up in the night, working hard for them , I should raise them up with responsibility, chores, and they need to learn and respect that I am the boss. Parents barely are allowed to do anything or teach kids rules these days because everything is considered abuse. Thats why all these kids are bad. Just wanted to make sure it wasnt illegal, and its not, maybe I should call CPS and ask. Thanks for the nice answers, so quick to judge, you never met me, I wanted to see what the laws were.

Update: May 15, 2012.
3,6,8,10,12,13 its the 8 year old refusing to clean

Update: May 15, 2012.
Just trying to make sure it is still legal. My kids eat breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, and sometimes snack. Still refusing to clean and its been 3 1/2 hours. I know that the states/government is taking kids away for alot of stupid things now, so I wanted to make sure I am safe.

How can I stop feeling life long pain from not calling 911 when a family member told me they had

chest pains, back when I was 23 years old? They came over and told me their chest hurt and I told them to get it checked out, and they said "well...I have an appointment on so and so date" they died within 12 hours of a heart attack

Then, when I was at the viewing, a mean family member told me it was my fault they were lying dead in the casket. This post makes me want to cry. If only I could go back...

- POP'd by Female, 22-25

My father's neighbor, whom he confided in, told him he had chest pains. Dumb bitch asked him, Do you

Want To go to the hospital ? He was down, and said no. She should have called his family, or just taken him. And of course he died five days later. I was out of state, and he was supposed to come down the following month, so I could take care of him. I don't know if all people act this way, but it sucks.

My sister manipulated Dad's meds, and when he left messages that he needed help, she ignored them to cash in on inheritance. Long story.....put it on here before... Thank God I took Dad to the hospital eleven years before that, and gave him 11 extra years. In emergent situations, PASSIVE STUPID LAZY PEOPLE SUCK!!

Update: May 16, 2012.
Ok, to the mean woman that is passing judgment in an extreme way. My father was very depressed, and blind, and diabetic. His blood sugars were 250 a day, I found out later. My sister not only sid not pick up certain meds like nitroglycerin, but he was never given a new meter. He could barely walk. His heat did not work upstairs. His bathtub was broken. His stairs going to his home were broken. He was not taken to a cardiologist in 4 years, and I had made plans to take care of him, but my sister planned his death prior to the time I could get him down South. It is a long, grueling, convoluted story, but I assure the judgmental person or persons on here, that I INVESTIGATED for three years the finances, and circumstances surrounding my dad's death. Not only did my sister come back to the house four hour after she found him dead, and what a birdie told her he was dead, but she and her bf went straight to the bank that morning to ask the broker if they could cash in the forged annuities . Since this is like a LIFETIME movie, and I cannot obviously spend three pages telling you the evidence, or supporting details, then I would appreciate if the judgmental people that would look the other way, or never spend three years trying to find justice and details of their father's untimely and suddenly suspicious death, to stop. There was enough for the homicide detective in the D.A.s office to meet with me. He kept saying he would open the case, and would also try to talk me out of going forward. I live 1,000 miles away, or I would be in his face to interview the FIVE people involved. He also saw the forgeries, and odd financial activities, and THREE of my relatives wrote him. If I decide i could move there again, I will pick up this fight again. There is also the Bank of America Manager, former broker involved as well. If they would ever spill the truth, then the motive would be extremely clear, and the D.A.'s office would have to open it, but unfortunately, my laywer gave me a conflict of interest to cover up this evidence. So, it's complicated, and anyone who wants to make this simple, or make me crazy, well, you're clueless.

Am I simply anxious, or should I actually worry?

I'm 30 years old and I've never been married nor do I have any children. Sometimes I become depressed, and I sometimes doubt that I'll find "the one". Also, I can't stop thinking about time running out for me to conceive. Although I'm still relatively young, every time I turn around, someone I know has either just gotten married, is pregnant, or has just given birth. Honestly, I feel as if I'm the odd one out, and I fear that I'm going to be a spinster.

Is this type of thinking normal? Should I just allow everything to take its course and be patient?
