real asked:


I am currently living with my fiance. I’m wanting to enter a motion to change parenting time. Will living with another woman w/out being married effect the outcome? My child’s mother obviously doesn’t like her, but there have been no major problems or fist-fights between the two of them. Further more the interaction they have infront of my child is always civil and cordial.

Who agrees? I’m not talking about a situation where a teenager is harming themselves(drugs, mutilation, abuse etc…) but when parents snoop just for the sake of snooping, even if the teenager gives NO reason to be suspected.

If you treat teenagers like criminals and degrade them as if they’re nothing but your personal property, then why be suprised when their behavior reflects that?

So, who agrees snooping for no apparent reason is a dishonest abuse of trust and authority?
Pandabear- And with that type of disrespect you have for your kids, don’t be surprised when they rebel against you either as teens or once they move out. Authoritarian parenting almost always has negative results. Your kids are humans, not property.

btw, Adults are just as sneaky, if not moreso, than teenagers. Where do people get this idea that it’s only something teenagers do?
My parents didn’t snoop, and I am not into illegal or harmful activities. What’s your point?

And no, snooping does not make you responsible, it makes you controlling and vindictive. Teenagers are humans with their own thoughts and lives, they aren’t your personal property to do as you wish with.

“Nothing to hide”? So, is it ok if the government snoops on you? If you have nothing to hide, then what’s the problem?

I just thought it would be neat to see other parents’ goals in parenting. I feel we all have very similar veiws [especially love] but would love to know what deeper goals you have

Sharon F asked:


If you are a parent, or an experienced child-care provider that is one thing to share your opinion. You have something to offer. I’m just trying to get a truthful answer, not some silly comment. If you are not a parent, is your answer based on your observations? What is your purpose for answering a parenting question? Is it for research purposes?
I appreciate the honest answers given. I was simply curious-that’s all. Just because I have driven a car for 17 years does not make me feel qualified to answer mechanical questions. Again, thank you to those who answered my question without being a smart-alec.

I was studying the pros and cons of the 4 parenting styles; permissive indulgent, permissive neglectful, authoritarian, and authoritative and was wondering what everyone thought about what the pros and cons would be for them? In particular what are some cons to authoritative, I couldn’t seem to find any?

Pinkerton asked:


When I was in high school, I thought that my parents were a total pain in the **** and so out of touch with things(I grew up in a traditional Asian home). Now that I’m a little older, I have a lot more appreciation for what they had to put up with.

Proud_Mommy_of_Two asked:


I am looking to attend a “refresher” parenting class for my 8 day old newborn (my second child, his first) in the central NJ location. I would perfer to attend the class in person, but if anyone knows information about online classes I would appreciate that too. I want to know if online classes offer a certificate of completion. (He and I live in separately so I want to be sure he finishes the class)
I’d appreciate any information you could give. Thanks!
