3 AnswersDesktops1 decade agoDad not giving medicine when he has visitations.?
Im divorced and my kids get weekend visitations and some holidays with their dad. One of my kids has quite a few medical problems one of which make her aspirate(liquid goes in lungs) if it isnt thickend with this stuff called simply thick. Shes also a silent asprirator so unlike most people liquid goes down wrong pipe she wont cough, shes had multiple pnemonia etc and also has asthma. I just found out after asking my daughter if she needed more thickner because its been 8 months since i gave them a box and he had them all summer and he hasnt asked for more, that he has never given her the drinks with thickner. We are facing surgery this month for this condition because it hasnt gotten better in 4 yrs and it should have. What I want to know is what rights do I have to either a) prevent visits unsupervised, or b) how can i make him meet her needs. His girlfriend has also just moved some of her family in and now my kids have to share a room with a grown couple and their 3 kids. I dont think that is a good enviroment for my kids to be sleeping in a room with a couple in bed together.. So how do I go about making sure my kids get what they need without coming across as the Evil X and not start a fight. I want my kids to spend time with their other side of the family but I want them taken care of too.

Currently neither my bf or I are employed(he lost his job because of amount of time have to take off due to his mothers medical issues.

If she does by FL how long we have to leave. And since it wasnt a rental (no money exchanged we did by food etc.) how it or if it changes the eviction. Not that we dont/wont go just want time

4 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting1 decade agoCan a school make a 1rst grader go back to kindergarten?
This is the 3rd day of school and I got a call from the school wanting to set up an appointment to discuss sending my daughter back to kindergarten. Can they do this? They graduated her last year so they are the one that passed her saying she was ready for 1rst. She doesnt finish her work in the time allowed but gets it with extra time. She does need a little more one on one than some students but not enough to disrupt the rest of the class. She moved to this school mid year last year and before moving had no problems but the teacher did pay a lot of attention not just give work and sit at desk rather than helping if she needed it. This new school last year had her coming home saying she was too stupid to do the work but when she came home and I explained the directions she got the all right. I had a talk with that teacher and after that she did well enough that they passed her. I am worried that if they move her back it will make even more of an impact on her self esteem
2 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting1 decade agoSchool complaining about special needs for a 1rst grader?
My daughter is going into 1rst grade in a new school this year. She was born 8 wks early and weighed 3lbs @ birth and is still very underweight 33lbs @6yr old. She eats very well but is also ADHD and very active and burns all the calories off quickly(Even with adhd med) She is going to have to have 2 snacks and 2nds at lunch @ school. I even have a DR note for it. She also has swallowing problems(silent aspirater) and has to have thickening in all her liquids(not even a sip from a water fountain is ok) They are complaining that it is too much hastle to have to send her to the cafeteria during class 2x's a day for a snack and for anytime she wants a drink. And takes her away from learning. Homeschooling isnt an option for us either (just incase that is someones suggestion) Because I have DRs orders I am sure they have to do what Ive asked but they arent happy about it. What is the best way to deal with this situation?

1 AnswerOther - Electronics1 decade agoMy kids are getting out of control?
I have been having major problems with my 4 and 5 yr old girls over the last few weeks. They have been getting on their bedroom furniture and jumping off, tearing up their books and toys, not minding at all,and getting up extremely early and taking things from the house that do not belong to them. We have tried talking to them about why what they are doing is wrong( suuch as if you jump of the dresser you could really hurt yourself. Break your arm or leg and have to go to the hospital. And that would hurt very bad and make daddy and mama very sad that you hurt yourself.) We have tried time outs, taking away priveleges like not getting to play with their slip and slide, spanking, if they do something good they are rewarded. I am at wits end. Well this morning I guess I finally lost it somewhat. I have taken all their toys away since they are tearing them up anyway and told them that they had to earn them back. I took out the furniture except for matresses so they cant jump off
10 AnswersParenting1 decade agopremature newborn kittens?
My cat is having kittens and the 1rst one was born dead. they dont seem to have ANY hair at all and are about the size of a mouse. They also seem to be weak not able to move much and very weak sounds. Also their feet and faces are kind of a purple color. I was wondering if they were premature or what. We thought that the mom was having them on the 3rd because she was bleeding but she never did have any kittens. This is her 1rst litter. I also wondered what other suggestions u guys had to help them survive. I went and got some kitten milk and a bottle. I am thinking after she is done I will put water bottles of warm water in there to keep them warm. What else can I do?
