Parents!!!!!?
Q. I work with a lady who also works at a HOSS's in central PA. She told me that even though her foster parents are her legal parents she was told they could not use her employee family discount since they were not blood related. Does this not seem really wrong to anyone else??? That is like saying your adoptive parents arent your parents. They were offered this discount to start off with but in the last month or so they were told it with no notification whether verbal or written was made saying they changed the policy.

A. All state laws recognize adoptive families the same as they recognize biological families. I am not sure if foster family=adoptive family, but it would be really easy to check your state's laws on www.findlaw.com. Or you could write to your legislator.

can the parents or parent get into any legal trouble if their child runs away?
Q. First off no im not planning on running away nor is anyone I know. I was simply curious because I don't see how they can unless the child was forced out the home or living in a terrible environment(getting sexually abused and such). So can the parents get into trouble with the police or charged with anything if their child free willingly runs away? And if so what type of legal actions take place for the parents not the child.

Q. Do some parents seem to know this secret better than other parents? Isn't it true that some parents are negative and some are positive in their approach? Don't the negative ones realize it's self-defeating?
Asked by anonymous - Sat Nov 24 23:42:49 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Lead by example. Have the same expectations of yourself that you have of your children. Remember that your children are thinking, feeling, human beings... do not treat them as possessions or burdens. Treat them respectfully - as you would have them treat you. Encourage them to question authority. Challenge them to question everything they do not understand and encourage them to discuss things with which they disagree. And very important is this... listen to what your children are saying.

How to convince parents to let me work on business?
Q. Long story short I'm 19, recently got funding for a video game company I co-founded. This sounds "childish", but my parents will freak out because I quit college over it. I can go back to school, however, I have no intent to. A business requires many more hours than college, so if I was lazy, I would pick college. I love learning: I read over 300 pages of business books a day, and I have a crystal clear vision of what I want to do in the next years to come; and that does not require a degree. I want to bring this to parents so that they don't get hurt. However, I'm 100% that my decision to quit school is correct. Thanks, I'm out space.

A. At 19, you are an adult. Unless they were funding your college, and you misused their funds, there really isn't anything they can do about it, though I understand that you want to break it to them gently. Even if you didn't need one to get the funding you got, I'd write up a business plan (always a good idea with a new business, anyway) -- and present the plan to them when you talk to them, so that they can see this is not just a "whim," and that you are serious and are looking not only at short-term goals, but long term goals, as well. Also, join your city's Small Business Association, if having connections there would be helpful to you.

Asked by Taghart - Wed May 5 11:01:52 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I can't say I regret my kids - I love them so much and they each bring enrichment to my life and hopefully the lives of others. But I can say that there are times I can regret just the generality of having kids period. There is so much worry that goes along with kids. Illness, bullying, social issues, drugs, kidnapping, education, etc... that it is so overwhelming. Then I worry about their futures, their potential spouses, their careers, jobs, where they will live, the world, the economy, war, pollution, terrorists... the list goes on and on. It isn't just the day in, day out chaos that goes along with parenting, it is the lifelong never ending responsibiltiy for bringing that human into the world.

How would adoptive parents react to this?
Q. How would adoptive parents react if there were a bill seeking to "preserve traditional parenting" by banning adoptive parents from calling themselves "parents"? They have to refer to themselves as their kids' "civil guardians," and not be recognized as legal parents in any state records. And hear people tell them, "I don't have anything against your family's lifestyle, I just believe that a 'parent' is a person who biologically produces a child. And I don't want you redefining that term for all of us." And, "Don't let adopters destroy traditional parenthood." How would those parents react?

Asked by Horsewhips - Fri Apr 4 12:44:05 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I don't know what the situation is in Malaysia (where your question was posted), but in the US, more children run away than are kidnapped. Often their homelives are miserable, usually due to abuse from their mother's boyfriend or their stepparent. Many are thrown out for bad behavior, or just for being gay or pregnant. Many are drug addicts or alcoholics and have turned to full-time prostitution to support their habit. Of the ones that are kidnapped, nearly always it's by the parent that doesn't have custody, rarely by strangers. In any case, I wouldn't automatically blame the parent, nor would I automatically say the parent was faultless.

A. Two things to keep in mind: One, for your parents, it's probably less about money and more about you. They want you to have a childhood, a prom, a graduation. And you can't go back at twenty-five, when you've missed out on all of that, and do it over. Two: I can name on one hand the number of child-stars who are still actors/actresses in adulthood. They get type-cast in early roles, and never get to play anything else. Look at Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter). He's gone so far as to go naked for a seen in Equus, his play in London. Unfortunately, everyone goes to see him naked, not because he's a great actor. He'll always be Harry Potter. Fourteen is a great age to be... when you're fourteen.

Normally parents have two problems when they learn that you're dating. 1) The fact that you are dating. 2) Who you're dating The first problem will most likely arise but it shouldn't be too bad if they know who you're dating. Since they already know her parents they know her pretty well and they must obviously like her. So don't be too worried about it and just tell them straight up

A. I think its down to the media. Bad news stories are sensationalised to sell more papers, The truth is that these events are rare, if they were common, they wouldn't be reported. Some parents can see through this and allow their children to play. Others are too scared to allow their children to play. This can backfire, I know several little angels who were never allowed out. Now that they are in their late teens, they simply don't know how to behave in public. A fight between two 10 year-olds in a park is rarely as serious as a fight between two 18 year-olds in a pub. Statistically, a child is far more likely to be murdered, assaulted or abused by an uncle or step father than by a stranger. They are actually safer out in the fresh air. I… [cont.]
