my puppy is 11 months old. i could not house train him, he ate everything in my house. he got loose into my infant’s diapers one night (outside) and spread the diapers all over my yard and both my neighbors. he jumps on me and tries to bite me (im the one that feeds him and takes care of him) he attacks my 3 legged cat whenever he can, hes eaten over 250 dollars worth of goods/appliances in my house, he scratches my child instead of licking, he is a mix of a pitt bull and a min pin. he is sweet in nature, i know he means well, but he is such a hassle for me. ive had to put him on a lead because he digs 2-3 foot holes in the yard. im used to labs, being all sweet and loving. is it just me not being used to other breeds, or is this dog really just too much? I know he is a puppy, but i got him for free and hes destroyed over 200% of his worth in my home. hes not worth keeping in my eyes but my husband loves puppies. how can i talk him into getting another breed?

I need some real help! My husband and I just had our second son a couple weeks ago, and I have noticed some serious changes in him ever since. He has never been what you might call…sensitive, or helpful, but he loves me very much. We are both young (23) and despite using VERY good birth control, now have two beautiful kids. Our first son is 16 months, and our second is 2 weeks old. My husband has always been an avid video game player, and can be rather childish and immature sometimes. We have always butted heads on issues like diapers, going to the grocery store, taking out the trash, and keeping the house clean. Basically I have to accomplish all these chores, or beg (literally) him to help with them for a couple days. Case in point, I am still recovering from the emergency c-section birth of our newest son, and there are six bags of garbage sitting out on the balcony, waiting to be taken out. I don’t ask more than once, maybe twice a day because I don’t want to be a nag.
So the main reason for this post…He is having a hard time dealing with our children. He has been losing his temper with our toddler quite frequently. He won’t feed or change the new baby, even on nights when he has the next day off (which is the only time I ask him to do it)he won’t feed the new baby a single bottle so that I can get a couple hours of uninterrupted sleep. On his day off he sits around the house playing video games, and insists that I play too, if we get interrupted in the middle of an ‘important’ part by one of the kids he gets angry and starts pouting like a child himself. He won’t help with the dishes or anything else on his day off, he doesn’t even pick up his own dishes. Even the days that I am having a really hard time, he won’t help me when he gets home from work. He won’t feed our toddler dinner, or get him ready for bed. He just comes home from work and launches himself right into an all evening session of World of Warcraft (which I play with him after the kids are in bed or napping just so that we do SOMETHING together). But when I decide to go to bed he gets upset because I can’t stay up later.
I have tried to talk to him about this, his usual response is, “I hate this.” “I hate having kids.” “I hate babies.”. Don’t get me wrong, he can be a great father, for about three minutes at a time, after that he gets bored and loses interest in his kids. I love my husband, and I realize that having two unplanned kids in two years is stressful…but I’m the one that had to have them, take care of them everyday, and still take care of the house. I don’t know what to do to make him happy. I honestly don’t think that I can take on any more of the responsibility, It’s already like I’m a single parent. Has anyone else dealt with this before, or any men that can give me advice on how to save my marriage, I love my husband dearly, but I fear we are headed for divorce if things don’t change.

I just can’t get this outta the back of my mind!!! My baby shower was in May and my mother in law didn’t get me a gift for the baby. Now, I’m not one who’s out to get stuff for free, this isn’t about money, but to me it’s about the moral of the whole idea. A couple of days after my baby shower(which was at my mother in law’s home, which by the way her contribution was having the shower in her home, she didn’t even clean up before hand, and she made macaroni salad…and my mother paid for EVERYTHING else) my inlaw complained to me that she was running low on cash since the shower…now months before the inlaws told me they’d get me a swing for the baby…the next day my mother in law told me she’d buy the swing and then mentioned again days later how low on cash she was running. so i told my husband to tell her not to buy the swing until she had the extra money…’cause the last thing I’d want to do was put them out of cash to buy daily necessities. So he told his mom….THEN…within the next week my sister in law (also, prego…due 6 weeks after me…I was june and she was july) finds the “crib” of her dreams….and yep mommy went and bought it for her…needless to say I bought my own swing and they bought nothing. I found out later on that my father in law gave my mother in law the $$$ in the beginning of may for the swing and it was never bought!!! Also, just in conversation my mother in law mentioned that she had had a blanket knitted for my step son when he was born and this and that(8yrs ago)…plus his bday feel a weeks before my child was born and she spent money right in front of me buying him quite a few gifts for his birthday!!! I have a pretty descend job and my inlaws know i make descend money…so I’m not sure if that’s the reason or not that she won’t buy my son anything!!! My feeling are so hurt by this. I know that my mother in law loves my son, so why’d she do this….and it’ been mentioned that they ( the inlaws) know they still haven’t bought the baby anything…i don’t think it’s a cash issue ’cause my father in law just bought a $4000 toy!!! I couldn’t stand it and I told my mother in law my feelings very nicely(don’t know if I should have) and she responded with “well…your just sooo hard to please, I didn’t think you’d like anything I got for you”…she had no basis to go off of with that remark…idk…but I just can’t get her frugalness outta my head everytime I see her!!!

I am interested in starting up a parent/child activity and workshop center. It would be a bright fun place with lots of toys and activity centers for kids to play on, comfy seats for adults, and a shop filled with only high quality, owner tested and approved products such as slings, toys, cloth diapers and breastpumps. The center would hold several classes for children such as a kids cooking class, art classes, sibling readiness classes etc. Parent and child classes such as one for both for cooking, a special daddy and me series, parent and child yoga etc, and parent only classes and meeting such as budgeting, menu planning, and a few just-for-fun classes, and free meetings for things as (perhaps) La Leche League and diaper free baby, while the kids could play in the play center.
Would you like a center like this? How often would you want to go? What would you be willing to pay? What classes and activities would you want to see?

does anyone know ant sites or places were i can get Absolutely free stuff for my baby

first i want to say im not against helping anyone.
but if the government give woman on welfare extra foodstamps to pay for baby formula and then she gets free formula from wick is this double dipping?
if the government gives food stamps to feed children then they get free breakfast and lunch in school, is this double dipping?
if the government pays your rent, heating, and your get rebates for both is this double dipping?

i just don’t understand my sister needed to get welfare while off work and they gave her the third degree but a mexican can walk in pretend to not understand a thing the npeople from the welfare office says and are just handed a med card and a food stamp card without question but my sister had to fight for hers that kind of stuff just really gets under my skin ..she even went to get free diapers for her baby and had to show all kinds of proof of income and they gave her a bunch of crap but the mexicans behind her came in and were allowed to just go get what they wanted …it makes me sick knowing so many working americas cant feed or diaper there kids and these mexicans walk in get everything free without question dont have to answer anything.. dont have to speek english ..but you know every time they walk out of the welfare offfice or the shealter thats giving free stuff away they get in big nice new suv’s and they always have a pocket full of money …it just makes me sick

get back girlfriend

Please make sure you read the article to the end. What disturbs me most are these two things:
His mother took the diaper-less tot to a tree in the yard, held him in a squatting position and made a gentle hissing sound — prompting the infant to relieve himself on cue before he rushed back to play.
And then this:
Isis Arnesen, 33, of Boston, has a 14-week-old daughter, Lucia, who is diaper-free. She said it can be awkward to explain the process to people, such as when she helped Lucia relieve herself in a sink at a public restroom.
What are these people thinking? I mean, 3 years old is too old being diaper-free but starting from birth? And don’t forget – not all “must go now” can be accommodated, that means clean-up big time.
And why does it have to be the yard or the sink???? If you have to teach them, teach the the right way – A TOILET!!!!
I am just speechless. What do you think?

“Hey, baby”
Yes, the woman says, gritting
her
teeth.
“You free?”
Yes, she says, pointing
the gun.
“Whoa, baby. Is that loaded?”
Yes, she says, pulling
the trigger.
“Damn, baby. You shot me.”
Yes, she says, walking
away.
Guns don’t kill people.
Babies kill
people.

Please read this little article first…I even read it in the news yesterday.http://www.p2pnet.net/story/30574
This story is even worse then the time some guy in Texas got arrested for selling pornographic cartoons in the 18+ section of his own comic shop!!
Look, I’m AGAINST the idea of child pornography….everyone is. Even pedophiles are!! (Child Molesters=Pedophile, BUT Pedophile =/= Child Molesters…some times)
So I can see why most countries these days outright outlaw the stuff. But does it feel like Canada take it WAY too far?? The stuff depicting real children, I can agree with…….maybe even if the participant is concensual, it should still be illegal…I forgot the reasoning, but it still should be (too stupid to give actual consent or something).
But Canada also banned the obviously FAKE stuff…which I admit is a bit controversial in the conservative western world (China and Japan doesnt have a problem with it, and they have far fewer sex-crimes).
But NOW, Canada is making THOUGHT illegal?!? Just read that story…a man got arrested because he wrote a few FICTONAL stories about himself and some made-up TEENAGERS….teenagers are considered children now!?
I live in Canada, but Im afraid of asking people this kind of stuff in person since my country men are….really….”jump-to-conclusions” type of people. So my questions are…
1)For other canadians out there, even NON-Canadians…how does the general Canadian public feel about their child-protection law?? Especially in regards to obscene materials…we all agree on the real stuff. But what about FICTONAL depictions, more importantly, PICTURE-LESS stories about yourself and a FICTIONAL teenager? Do Canadians actually agree with the law extending this far?? Or are there quite a few out there that feels this is a bit…draconian?
2) What was the basis for arresting the man anyways? Something to do with child-pornograpgy, yes I know. But…a series of written words is even LESS graphic then your average diaper commercial, or that controversial movie starring Dakota Fanning.
3) So…why is Canada considred one of the “better” or “free” country in this world again? Even the ever-conservative US allows this stuff to fly.
I’m not really into this stuff, but still, knowing my OWN country behaves like this…and since many images of DRAWN girls are hard to determine when it comes to age (especially stuff from Japan)…this amkes the Canadian law a bit scary.
What do you think?? Does this have anything to do with police and Judge gaining PR or something?
