    My 14 y/o daughter’s first bf cheated on her while he was drunk and high (!!) on vacation. He’s also 14. Should I tell his parent what happened?

    @butterfly123 There's a lot wrong here mom. First, there's monitoring your kids activities, typically if you suspect problems or see a performance issue elsewhere..and intrusion. You've crossed that line. Being 14 by itself is not a justification for being this involved in her private...

    If your Kid were a straight-A student but also skipped school 2-3 days a week, what would you do?

    @godblessed777 They need to go to school daily. Don't allow them to bend the rules, its a bad precedent.

    Is it selfish to have kids with large age gaps, 10+ years?

    @aog17 if anything, it could be 'unfair' to you, you're past infants and kid stuff generally. I like the idea of really processing your experience here as well as your expectations.

    Is it selfish to have kids with large age gaps, 10+ years?

    @aog17 Therapy! having a child is a major life changer, so before you do this, i would really explore why, and what changed for you. They aren't returnable you know, and regret is a hard thing to work into parenting.

    My 14 y/o daughter’s first bf cheated on her while he was drunk and high (!!) on vacation. He’s also 14. Should I tell his parent what happened?

    @logann I would bet the adults didn't say or do anything bc that was the reason you, as a 15 year old needed a 25 year old in your life in the first place.

    Do you give your children medication (e.g. Tylenol) when they have a fever?

    @jaxson i get my sources (and education) from unbiased sources, and current enlightened thought is that a child with a fever who is in discomfort and/or cannot sleep would benefit from meds which alleviate the fever.. That fever is a natural response to infection, making the body less...

    @cloveerforever did she actually say this?

    Do you give your children medication (e.g. Tylenol) when they have a fever?

    @jaxson Doc here. of course i give meds! If only for comfort, a high fever and associated symptoms are really uncomfortable. i also believe the earth is not flat, fwiw.

    The fiance wants security

    @cloveerforever wait. 'your expectations of me making 25% more that we dont need is unreasonable. it causes a lot of stress, not only b/c of the demand, but the lack of understanding, which i deal with by drinking more. I need you to stop this and also quit threatening me, its not good for us...

    The fiance wants security

    @cloveerforever you might not be taking crazy pills now, but you might have when you still had more easily exercised options but didn't You might not be married, but having a child sure complicates this. i would have a really straight up convo about expectations and needs..yours, too..and try...

    My cousin refers to her 4 m/o son as her boyfriend

    @lpapolczy ask her how she thinks that all sounds to the regular folk and maybe encourage her to look a bit mor into it.

    How to say this

    @jime Tell her that unless she gets a tutor you will quit. What he needs is above your pay grade, and besides, neither of us really believe it's an either/or situation here but a control struggle in their family.

    Room search’s

    @patdog122482 It would seem to me that the loss of your mom just a year ago and his g/f moving in would be enough upheaval here so he'd at least be distracted from whatever it is that has him so anxious about your space. I would talk with him about this and ask him why he's so anxious and maybe...

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @boanerges1989 Can you pay for a second opinion? it's rightly terrifying when parents hear unexpected things/confirmation from a doc or other authority, even if they're accurate, without any context. Saying "Gross delay" is scary, and then to add 'wait and see' is both poor bedside manner and...

    1 year old with gross motor delay and poor appetite. Constantly told everything is “fine”

    @boanerges1989 where is this? Gross motor delay is indeed a dx. That you then say it isn't is confusing, how'd the doc determine this? A delay isn't necessarily indicative of something permanent, the issue is if it is so or if it is just the typical variation in development. Sounds like...
