Do we have a right to be upset?
My husband and I have 3 beautiful children. My inlaws have only kept all of my children overnight twice in 18 months which i'm fine with as I don't feel the need to be away from my children that much. They have only kept my oldest brother in laws 2 kids once in about the same amount of time. When we do ask them to watch our kids we have to beg. They never ask for any of our kids. Now on the other hand they always ask for my younger brother in laws son and keep him anytime they are asked to. They have him atleast 3 weekends a month. We also just found out they are paying some of my younger brother inlaws bills. Now my brother inlaw always says he doesn't have any money but him and his wife can go out to the bar every weekend. Does this seem right? Do the rest of us have a right to be upset?
4 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting9 years agoTwins, toddler beds and potty training?

5 AnswersToddler & Preschooler9 years agoParents who had their kids young?
How and when did you find time to go back to school and get a degree? Has anyone done it online? I want to get a degree so bad and help support my family but it seems like everytime I think I've found a way something comes up. I know I have been blessed to be able to stay home with my kids and I do love it, but I also want to show my kids that if they end up being a young parent they can still go to school and make something of themselves.
7 AnswersParenting9 years agoWhy is it you have to have a license to?
Marry, a license to drive, well you have to have a license or certificate of some sort to do alot of things but you need nothing to have kids. There are clearly some people in this world that should not be allowed to have kids and others who deserve to have as many kids as they could possibly want and can't get pregnant. Does this make sense to anyone else?
14 AnswersParenting1 decade agoNation Guard after Active Duty and Education Benefits?
My husband is ETSing out of the Army and we have talked about him joining the National Guard after we get back home. We have been told that if he does doing he can get the tuition assistance along with the GI Bill and use both while in school. Does anyone know if this is true and how it would work if it is? I can't see that happening but you just never know how some of these things work anymore.
4 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoHusky/Lab mix questions?
I have a few questions and I have no clue what to do as she is very very stubborn and will pretty much only listen to me even though she just loves people in general.
1 How can I get her to calm down, I have twins on the way and don't want her accidentally hurting them.
2 How do I get her to stop peeing every time she gets scared or excited?
3 Right now my parents have her as my husband is military and the place we rent does not allow pets, how will she be when we take her and she isn't around their dog anymore?
4 How do we get her to listen to my husband and my 5 year old.
5 Shedding. Her fur is everywhere, how do i get it to stop?
She really is a sweet dog she just has some issues. She would never purposely hurt anyone without feeling that they were a threat to her or her family and she loves kids. Shes not dumb by any means just very stubborn. Shes the type of dog that will give you her bone when you tell her to and shes a great companion.

8 AnswersPregnancy1 decade agoDoes anyone else feel this way?
On the topic of abortion you yourself are pro-life but not anti-choice. What I mean is you will do everything you can to stop someone from having an abortion but at the end of the day you realize it's their right to choose and don't want that choice taken away. I don't think abortion is a form of birth control and should not be allowed to be used that way but I also realize that mistakes are made. Now I think that someone who was not on birth control and did not use a condom should not be given one since they did nothing to try and prevent it in the first place, but someone who took precautions should be given the choice. Does anyone else feel this way or are you strictly pro-life or pro-choice.
5 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting1 decade agoAnyone have family like this?
About 5 weeks ago we found out we were having twins. Ever since I got pregnant my brother in laws wife has been telling me that my other brother in laws GF was jealous and trying to get pregnant and saying a whole bunch of crap. About 2 months after I find out I am pregnant I find out that the BIL's Wife is the one trying to get pregnant not the other brothers girlfriend. Well about a week ago she calls me and says she is pregnant, while her husband and sister are saying there are no lines on the test. She went to the Dr and he also told her she was not pregnant. She will not return any ones calls or text anymore including my mother in laws. We found out what the Dr said because of her husband. I'm not the type to want alot of attention which is weird because I am an only child, where as she is an oldest and always has to be the center of attention. My mother in law was more worried about how she would handle having a second baby instead of me dealing with a 5 year old and a set of twins. Isn't that bad? What I'm wondering is, is it wrong of me to actually want some attention for once and to feel like she is trying to get back in the spot light? If it helps everything got worse with her when we found out one of the twins was a girl. It will be the first granddaughter and the 4th grandson.

4 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoNeed help with names?
We are having boy/girl twins. We just can not agree on names. My husband like more of the normal classy name while I like for of an edgy uncommon name. Neither of us want anything that's way out there. Any ideas on names that would fit both of these.
15 AnswersBaby Names1 decade agoDo any of you parents out there plan on?
having a fairly detailed talk about sex, pregnancy and birth control with your kids? I don't mean telling them how to have sex. But making sure that they know how you can and can not get pregnant. How to properly use a condom and the proper way to use birth control. Also how the reproductive system works. Just curious because it seems anymore teens don't know what does and does not get them pregnant and how to prevent it. I don't mean all teens either. Also would you rather your daughter come and tell you if she is having sex so you can make sure she is on birth control or would you rather not know and let her take care of it by herself?

4 AnswersMilitary1 decade agoWhy is it legal to.....?
have an abortion when the child has no choice in the matter but physician assisted suicide is illegal when the person can make the choice themselves? I don't mean helping someone who is clinically depressed kill themselves, but people who are going to live in suffering for the remainder of their lives. If one is legal then shouldn't the other be also. No I'm not trying to get things started I just want other people opinions
I'm posting this here because people here actually give an opinion.
11 AnswersOther - Pregnancy & Parenting1 decade agoWhat is so wrong about?
physician assisted suicide. If abortion is a medical procedure where it is legal to terminate the life of an unborn child who can not choose for themselves then why can't people use a medical procedure to choose to end their own lives? It really just does not make sense to me. I just want to know how one could be legal and not the other. I understand not using assisted suicide to end someones life who is perfectly healthy, but someone with a debilitating disease that will never recover.
