Question by KellyNWChicago: Are there parenting classes to help with toddlers?? I am at wits end and think I could use some advise/help?
My son does NOT listen and thinks when I say NO its an invitation for more bad behavior… He is a little over 2 years old born 3 months pre-mature and is a “normal” kid but I can’t seem to get threw to him on the term NO. I find myself getting agitated which in turn makes him throw his tantrums… I know 2 year olds are good for there “terrible two’s” but my 6 year old was NEVER like this and I don’t know what to do. I thought if there were classes I might be able to take or advise someone could give me to help me cope with this phase. I don’t want things to get worse I want to enjoy this time with him but am finding it hard. Dad say’s he’s just being a kid, and is little to no help with getting him to understand. Could I be wrong and Hubby be right? I keep 2nd guessing myself and don’t like that. any 3rd party opinion would be great. Thanks in advance.

yes there are I took some they where very helpful when i went my kids are 16,14,5 and 1 so it had been awhile one thing I learned that did work when she would act up I would sing a little song while taking her to her room bout being good I would put her in and say ok when you can listen you may come out and shut the door sometimes it would be like 1 minute sometimes 30 minutes and her behavior was totally different just make sure you and your husband are on the same page as far as rules and consequences..

You should not tell him. That is not your responsibility. Let one of his family members do it. If you were married, it may be different, but you are not.

Question by NC: Step-parenting a 6 year old, share your advise please.?
My 6 year old son and I are already living with my fiance. We’re marrying in a couple of weeks, it’s been great between us but in these few days my son has been with us (he visited his father to whom he’s very close when I moved in with my fiance 4 weeks ago), my son of course has been a bit jealous which I expected and doesn’t really worry me, since we have great communication and I’m always there for him, but I didn’t expect my fiance’s… behavior. He doesn’t really talk to my son, except to give him instructions like to get in the car and be careful with something or if my son wants an ice cream, but not like actually talking with him. He’s also required my attention when I’m with my son, reading a story or something and makes me think he’s a little jealous too. He has no children, and is 37. We lived in different cities before and that’s why my son and him never really got the chance to know each other better. Besides, my son is missing family and friends, I think we should understand him and be a little patient.

If you were once in a similar situation, please, share some story or advice, what can I do to make it better between the two of them? I know, I’ve thought of talking to my future husband but I would love to hear true stories. Thank you for reading.
Thank you all for your comments. Objective Subject, I’m so sorry for your bad experience, I hope you knew who I am and what things God has led me to see, forgive, quit and do to have the great kid I have and my whole family and my son’s dad and family side to totally support my decisions, of course, this one as well. Perhaps I wasn’t good at writing what I needed from you guys, which is good ideas to enhance our family life, as I said it’s been only a few days my son’s here, it’s not like he’s being neglected or disrespected in any way, once again, you probably see your own experience and of course don’t know me at all. Thanks for trying to help.

Sofballchika9, you explained much better what I tried to say and I think you are very right. My fiance was 6 himself when his mom remarried and has told me many times his mind about it, he wants my son to have a great relationship with his father and with him but I think he just don’t know how.

Best answer:

Answer by Ally
I think even though your fiance doesn’t seem to be talking to your son much or anything, he will. I mean it hasn’t been long, give it some time and your soon-to-be husband and son will have bonded a lot better.

They played at a cafe and were there from 4-6 hours a day! Meanwhile, their REAL 3 month old baby is left at home and bottle fed only once per day. Sadly, she passed away due to neglect. Neglect is not an uncommon story but leaving your baby so you can care for a virtual baby?

Question by Ayman K: Can I drive car without a driving license in the parking lot in The Netherlands?
I am an expact living in The Hague. I am currently 17yrs old. I am planning to learn driving with my dad’s car. I know in other countries such as USA, Canada, you are allowed to drive without a license in the parking lots. In Germany its possible to drive without a license under parental guidance if you are 16. Is it possible to drive car in the parking lots in The Netherlands without any license when they are empty?

Best answer:

Answer by oklatom
No, it’s not allowed in the US either. Parking lots are limited access, but they are not private property, so you would need a license or learners permit to drive in them, empty or not.
