Can anyone give me some ideas on splitting time with a daughter starting kindergarten?
My current wife would want to see a week by week split whereas we are currently doing every other day.
Would it be best for her to do an every other week arrangement? Would continuing every other day be too confusing for her when she starts school? |

We have a current visitation order for 2 kids ages 16 & 14. The last few scheduled visits have not happened because the kids made other plans and did not want to go over. They seem to not want to cover over anymore. Can they just decide not to go over? At what age can they decide this? What is the mom's legal responsibility in this matter? Thanks for your time. |

}}} I'm a 32-year-old new dad who is having trouble separating his home life from his work. I try not to bring work home, but something always comes up, which makes my wife mad.
How do you guys out there do it?

You need to find time away from you. For instance I am weekend shift supervisor, we are always under the gun. I take a little extra time driving home listening to music loudly, a lot of times classical, I also stop off here and there picking things up for the house, even a movie . I also like to stop and get a frosty ( a type of ice cream / shake) I never just rush home anymore. I learned that work follows me when I do that..... Bye the way I am a Father of four boys who are now young teenagers...

I have a money management problem, or should I say that I my wife has one. She eats out ALL THE TIME! It is taking a toll on our budget, but I can't get her to understand that. She lunches with friends or is taking the kids to McDonald's every day almost. Any suggestions? |

Hi Guys!
It's been a long time since I last posted, but the time has come for me to give you another heads up. The Moms Talk (Dads Talk in this case) boards will be migrating to the vBulletin system that already exists for the rest of the community. This format is going to be retired.
I know that on one hand, it might not be a welcomed change, but on the other hand, it will provide you with additional security (ability to form private groups) and a resolution to current glitches (No more 40 character rule, and you will be able to post urls without spaces). You will also be integrated into the message board community and more able to participate in upcoming contests and programs aimed at increasing camaraderie and excitement throughout the message boards.
I don't have an actual date for the final migration. I do know that these posts here will not be deleted. If at all possible, they will migrate to the new board in their current state. At the very least, they will be archived and will be searchable. You can visit the new board and start posting at anytime:
http://interact. iparenting. com/boards/forumdisplay. php?f=6684 (There are no spaces in this url, but in order to post this, I had to add a space after each period. Please remove the spaces before you attempt to use the url.)
If you need any assistance at all, please email me.

Hey Todd, if it was so innocent, why even hesitate to tell the wife?
I am having trouble communicating with my 12-year-old daughter. It seems we don't have much to talk about anymore. Dinnertime is like a huge dose of the silent treatment. What can I do to relate to her more? |

I don't prefer any one company...but once you have kids, life insurance is a "must-have". You can't just say, "I've got that through my employer." because tomorrow, you might get laid off. Even just term life is better than nothing. |

Sorry to invade the dad's board, but thought I'd chime in on preschool. I would start him and see how it goes. If it doesn't work out, take him out. No harm done.
Good luck to you! |

Robert,
You just be honest with them. That's all kids want. Kids adjust really quickly. Of course it will hard at first. It will be hard on everyone. But give them a little time and soon they'll have new friends and like their new home. Home is, as hocky as this sounds, where the love is.
Topic change! My questions is, how do I know when my child is ready to start preshool? We had him in when he was 18 months, and that did not work so we pulled him out. He's now 2 1/2, and soon the issue will be here again, with preschool registration next month. Advice? |

Organization is not hard, do you have a tool chest? You can sort like tools in each section. If you need another cheaper suggestion, go to walmart, and get those plastic containers that pull out and you can store things in them. For your cans, get a bookshelf and you can place them on that. Got bikes and kakes things like that, get those wall hooks and place them on that, helps get everything to the sides and looking clean. With you nails, get old coffie cansand old furit and vegitable cans to sort your srews and nails into. Now with car parts, you could probibly find something along the same lines, but i cant think of something real cheap and crafty without know what kinda parts and all. |

Don't give up on your marriage. I left my wife and kids three years ago for another women. Thought the grass would be greener. It's not. I regret every day leaving and now putting my everything into what I had.
Good luck to you,

I have heard several people talking about setting up a savings account for there children when their born. What is the deal with this? I have a 2 1/2 year old and a baby OTW and neither one of them have a use for a savings account for a long time. So why am I hearing people opening a savings account. Could you guys email me and tell me why you think they do or why you did setup an account. Thanks. |

Oh my! I cannot believe Chris was voted off of American Idol! What was America thinking? I do not think any of the three left have the "star" quality that Chris had.

I walked in on my 11-year-old daughter the other day, accidently, while she was going to the bathroom. You will never guess what she did. She started hysterically crying and telling me I'm ruining her life and that she is SO embarrassed. I didn't see anything! She was sitting down. I think she's over-reacting, but don't know what do to to make her feel better. I've already apologized. |

Dad or expected fathers,
My wife is starting her 17th week and has a condition called hyperemisis gravidarum. She receives IV 24 hours a day at home because she cannot stay hydrated or get nutrients because of nausea and vomiting. There seems to be no relief or treatment for this. Any tips, advice, ideas? Please drop me a quick email. Thanks in advance.

Can anyone help me with advice on bonding with my 2 week old son. He is our second child, however, my wife and I have been separated for the last 6 months. With our first son I was able to be there at the birth and spent a lot of time at the hospital with him, thus creating a strong bond instantly. I am worried that I will not be able to give my second child that which I have given my first. |

Hello everyone. I am the proud new father of a beautiful baby girl. Ella Ramona was born on January 5th. She and my wife Becky are coming home today. I am understandably nervous. I am very excited too however. I don't have any questions yet but, I'm sure that I will very soon. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to having my girls home with me and finding out how much I really don't know.
Everyone have a good day. |
