not a parent

Hi there! I am currently trying to start my own babysitting business and I’m looking for some input :) Some information about me: I am 18 y/o (F), recent high school graduate who is taking a gap year. In an effort to make some extra money, I am looking to start my own side hustle alongside my...

Parent who had kids who had a habit of cussing alot how did you get them to stop? As my brother (6M) has a habit of swearing and cussing people as much as possible thx to tiktok, my parents and i have tried everything from explaining to punishment, but he would always apologise then immediately...

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate the skills of these Rochester cops at dealing with children? The video below was taken from the body camera of Hannah Schneeberger:

Well, I made a post the other day asking if it was appropriate for me (17f) to be friends with my coworker (27m) and he’s really professional and good and stuff around me and I think I embarrassed myself today. I decided to ask if we could see a movie together and he stopped and asked if my...

Would you ever forgive your SIL? I was walking with her and holding her 3 y.o. In the dark stupidly bc niece wouldn’t put on shoes and fell over a 2” dip in the sidewalk.. I luckily broke the fall and skinned my knees, face, and hands up raw. Niece had no pain she said but was “scared” I feel...

Sorry in advance for any spelling errors, as I am now 1000% FED UP with being treated like a child. I (24F) have had epilepsy in my teen years. I'm currently trying to get off a good bit of medication while still being able to live a proper life. My mother on the other hand, still continues to...

TL;DR: My sister-in-law & brother-in-law have invited/asked me to come help care for my young nephew while she gives birth/help after they arrive home with the new baby. I do not have children and am not sure how to be most helpful and am hoping for some tips. My sister-in-law P (39) is...

Hi, I'm 23f. I guess I've always been a little baby crazy, but it's more of an abstract thought process than an actual biological concern at the moment. I was a relatively easy baby and so was my partner, but I also know that my parents had a lot of support that I might not have because of money...

I am a 4-H agent. I am hosting a planting event for kids ages 5-10 from 9-1. We’re going to be decorating flower pots, learning about soils and seed germination, planting seeds in mini greenhouses, and planting flowers. At noon, we’re going to wrap up, eat, and complete a kid friendly...

So I am almost in high school now, and I still feel that my parents are being extremely controlling over any use of technology (even if I earned and payed for it myself). I probably should also mention that my left eye has a very light case of myopia, or nearsightedness at -0.75 (this was kinda...

I usually wake up at 5:30 AM when I need to go to school and around 8 AM and 9 AM in the weekends /vacations. I've had this rule all my life and my dad says i'm going to have to have to follow it until I move out for college. To be honest this it's pretty annoying because it makes my day so...

my grandma took me in after i moved out of my moms house and things have been going well. But school. My grandma told me if i got any F's with no missing assignments im ok bc nothing u can do about it. I used to have almost all F's but since i moved in a year ago my grandma has been helping...

Howdy all! Not a parent here, I’m actually a college student. I’m currently taking a children’s literature course and we have to do an essay and presentation on an “unfamiliar picture book.” Essentially, a book we didn’t read as a child. The books we select are supposed to focus on more “modern”...

Hi! So, my baby brother is 8 months old and weights less than what is expected, besides that, everything is fine with him according to the pediatrician. Almost everyone in my house has tried to feed him with no avail, he won't eat more than small portions and even then he makes a fuss about it...

I don’t at all but what do you think?

Hi. So I’m 14 and earlier tonight, I was eating, watching the wrestlemania press conference and when I was waiting for my food to finish my mom started talking about how she’s tired of having to write stuff on the board or asking for simple things like washing the dishes, or sweeping the kitchen...

I (20M) was visiting my girlfriend’s (20F) parents’ house earlier this month. My girlfriend has a 6-year old brother that I’m going to call “J”. J really looks up to me, and he always wants me to do things with him. I agree to play with him mostly because I’m nice. In reality, I think that he is...

I must first admit I rarely post on or visit Reddit, but I feel totally lost. I (18F) have heard my brother (14M) saying the N word repeatedly, even with the hard R oftentimes. Our ethnicity is Asian, but my siblings and I were all born in America, so we are American citizens. For context, my...
