He shares a little less than half of the childcare with me and also helps out around the house. I’m concerned because he sometimes loses his temper with the children who are two and five. He has threatened to hit my 5-year-old and hit my 2-year-old lightly recently. He yells at them and picks them up violently to go to time out. As a kid my mom was emotionally abusive, and my parents spanked me. I had a number of mental health issues when I was younger, and I think having parents who respected and supported me would have prevented some of them.

I don’t think anything good can come from him getting beaten up by these boys, so I would suggest that he doesn’t play basketball with them anymore. From what I’ve seen in relationships, it seems that undesirable behavior from a partner continues when the other party hasn’t received clear boundaries on what is (or isn’t) acceptable. Another option is to stop the sleepovers and not confront them at all, especially if you think they’re too set in their ways to change—but I don’t think that’s an effective long-term solution. Eventually they will want to know why the overnight visits have ended, and someone will have to break the news to them.

I have told my husband that this is not ok with me and that it can’t continue. I have asked him to talk to his therapist about it, which he is doing, but I’m not sure what else to do. He sees this as discipline and I see it as bordering on abuse. My in-laws are incredibly loving grandparents and have taken an active interest in our 6-year-old son’s life since he was born, and love seeing him. Around age 4, every 6-8 weeks, they do us the gracious favor of watching our son overnight in their home so we can have a rare date night. However, their home’s cleanliness has deteriorated in recent years.

Our Foster to Adopt program allows you to raise the pet you want to adopt from any age and get them used to your lifestyle. 'Foster to Adopt' benefits our pets because it gives them a chance to grow, learn, and adapt to the home they will be living in for the rest of their lives without having to even step foot in a shelter. Apart from benefiting you and the pet, it also benefits our shelter and our community. Having our furry kiddos in their forever home from the beginning allows for more space in our shelter to take in the many kiddos that are walking through our door daily. As a dad with two basketball playing daughters, I think it’s great that you want your son to be as tough as possible. The problem in this scenario is your kid is only 8 and he’s playing against two boys who are bigger, stronger, and older than he is.

It was abundantly clear that the shortage of affordable housing in Palm Beach County was the primary barrier to stability for low-income households. If you need to escape an abusive relationship, call us. We can provide safe transportation to our emergency shelter or connect you to other support services such as outreach counseling and legal aid. While Adopt-A-Family was originally a Christmas holiday program, it is open to families of all backgrounds and traditions to meet their needs and wishes.

I can’t tell if I’m a total dud or normal, but I feel exhausted by the expectations of me. I am a mother of a young child, and this is my main priority. I do all the parenting , and my husband’s only expectation in this area is to say hello to our child when he gets home. You could argue that this dynamic is my fault, but among my friends it’s actually pretty common that the mom doesthe lion’s share of parenting.

They had a mice issue with holes chewed in walls and droppings around the house, and now the issue is occurring again. My FIL insists on handling it himself without an exterminator. They leave doors open in warm weather, so flies and moths remain for months, including in the kitchen around the food they offer my son. They have a dog, so there’s fur everywhere, including in the food they prepare. Their home in general just really grosses me out, and I’m at the point of not wanting to leave my son there.
Have you fallen in love with a pet that just isn’t old enough to be spayed/neutered, or vaccinated? You now have the option to take that baby home as a foster until they are old enough to be officially yours. Were hosted within the community to collect gifts and other items. For example, if you would like to plan a third-party fundraising event or set up your own Crowdfunding Page, we can provide support.
Remember, you’re not being a jerk—you’re being straightforward and honest in an effort to protect your child. Hopefully this will spark them to make some serious lifestyle changes if they want to foster a relationship with their grandchild in their home. Heck, I would even go as far as hiring professionals to clean their house in order to kickstart the process. If you choose this route, I wouldn’t ask your in-laws if they would be OK with it—I would flat out tell them that the cleaning crew will arrive at noon on Wednesday and to plan accordingly.
That may seem like overstepping to some, but true interventions rarely include permission. Adopt A Family is a wonderful way to bring a brighter holiday to survivors of Domestic Violence at The Family Place. These gifts truly mean so much to families and individuals in our care. Adopt-A-Family turned to a highly successful partnership between a housing agency and McCarver Elementary School in Tacoma, Washington to develop best practices for our programmatic framework. It is a groundbreaking collaboration between a housing authority and an elementary school designed to improve educational outcomes through the provision of stable housing.
McCarver has provided a foundation for our partnership with our sister school, Highland Elementary, located three blocks north of Julian Place . The school has one of the highest populations of homeless students in the county. Petfinder currently includes pets and adoption organizations from the regions listed above. Please check back in the future for any potential expansion. What is your take on expectations of women these days?

If your son is anything like my daughter, the original lovie is the most valued one, and I ensured it rarely left the house, meaning New Bunny was the one that went to preschool with her. If New Bunny ever was lost or forgotten at school, my daughter was relieved to know that her favorite was waiting at home with her. Sure, she doesn’t have the bond that she has with Old Bunny, but it’s better than not having anything at school.
HSGKC will provide all medical care, including vaccines, medication, and spay/neuter. Remember, as long as you approach them with love, albeit tough love, you can be at peace that you’ve done the right thing to protect your son. As to respect Client privacy and security, The Family Place distributes the gifts directly to the families. Deliver the gifts to our NEW Holiday Donation Center in large plastic bags.
Families are referred to the program by social-community agencies in Guelph and Wellington County. Maybe that’s all it will take for him to see the light, and then your family can live happily ever after. You also need to prepare yourself for the worst-case scenario in the event he still continues to put his hands on your vulnerable children. If you’ve exhausted every avenue, then I would understand completely if you decide divorce is the best option. In the meantime, you should document everything that happens at home in case you need it for later. Hopefully it won’t come to that, but it’s better to be safe than sorry.
