How do you get someone else's child to trust and like you?
I read your comment. Please be aware that many children are resentful of someone new in their divorced parent’s life. They want all the attention, and after a divorce, they may have a lot of insecurity that the divorce was their fault and that they could lose one or both of their parents.Please understand and don’t feel badly if this young child is resentful and doesn’t warm up to you. Please please please accept this, just be friendly and say calming things. Hopefully your boyfriend won’t say things to encourage his son to be friendly or social. Let it happen naturally. It may take a dozen meets so that he accepts you.This is tough stuff, and if your boyfriend is a man worth knowing and caring about, he must put his child’s needs ahead of you. He may love you wildly, but you must not need his child to like you now.Relax, do something so you don’t just stare while trying to think of something to say. Go to a Disney movie, or the park where he can play and his dad, not you (I mean so well here, don’t be upset!!) should play with him while you watch, or the zoo (poor animals), or bicycle, or go for a pretty hike, anything that is active where you all can just have fun and talking is less important.Be SO patient. This kid may be so delighted with you immediately, or need a ton of time.
I dont trust my kids friends parents, what do i do?
I have hung out with many of her friends parents. There is one family i hang out with all the time and i would totally let her stay there (they just haven't invited yet). But This one paticular family dad specifically I dont trust too much and I think ive given them a fair trial. For one, my daughter doesnt like him either and for two, whenever their daughter visits and its time to leave for home she says can i stay here. I dont want to go home. So that alone tells me its not good. Ive had a friend that had something bad happen when she stayed at a persons hosue when she was little. I just dont want that to happen to my daughter.

Would you trust a 13 almost 14 year old girl to babysit your child?
You are right. All kids are different. I will let a 13 or 14 yrs old handle my 1.5 yrs old son. But I do not really encourage the babysitter to carry him all around the house. Just make him sit comfortably and play some toys with him. When you are baby sitting, you need to pay all the attention to the young under your care. Do not let them play with dangerous items in the house eg knife. Do not let them roam freely in the kitchen because of all those kitchen utensils. Do not let them climb high as they might fall. Do not let them go to the toilet by themselves as they might get stuck in the toilet bowl. The list can go on and on. So, the key word here is be ALERT at all time when you are dealing with a child/baby/young kid.
What is wrong with being a strict parent???
Wow-You really have a trust issue--first with yourself that you're not raising your kids right so must keep them on a tight rein for neither will you be able to show any confidence or trust in your children. If you 1-set a good example for kids learn by imitating their parents, love them unconditional, set realistic limits-boundaries and be CONSISTENT with Recognizing from the very beginning their their uniqueness, achievements etc and telling ,praising them and also consequenting misbehaviours your children will grow into well behaved children that can go to a frien's house for naturally you have already talked to friends parents , have phone no etc take there and pick up and so forth. Education is very important but please don't minimize Social life- if they have no social skills(they learn by peer interaction) they'll have serious problems getting along with other kids which will interfere with their leaarning. Kids need other kids. I suggest you talk to preacher, minister, priest(Don't know your religion)and get some advice-talk to school counselor etc. Children who are kept so strict until 16 will REBEL-guaranteed. You must show trust for it instills self confidence. The dating I agree on -on on one dating but should be able to have friends(same sex) and socialize-supervised of course by dropping group off at activity-skating rink, movie atc and picking up-can slways use BEHAVIOUR MANAGEMENT Plan--go to your Library and find some books on Discipline. The Prom should be open to all seniours(unless did something reallyu horrible) for once in a lifetime experience and if you raise right-be involved in schoolwork etc should have no grade problem. You mean well but need to do some research on Child Psychology for I know you wouldn't want to cause damage. NO.3-I doubt anyone will allow children to watch an autopsy--that is a extreme, dangerous to a child's mind thought-please rethink or educate yourself on this point. Good Luck
My husband treats me like a child?
My advice is, you are an adult, behave like one. If you want to go out, then go out. Don't ask his permission, simply let him know you are going, where you are going, and when you expect to return (that's just courtesy). If he doesn't like it then tell him you two can discuss it upon your return at which time you need to sit down and express to him your feelings about the situation, and why he has issues with you going out and behaving as an independent adult (especially when you indicate that he goes out and does things without you). Any good, healthy relationship allows all parties to have their own time to do what they want to do, be it spend time with friends, have a hobby, relax or shop or whatever it may be. A spouse or partner doesn't have the right to dictate our behavior or comings and goings...and someone who really cared about us and wanted to SHARE a relationship with us, wouldn't desire to do so.
