Beatrix Kiddo asked:
I’m going to boycott this category and hopefully save someone from getting ridiculously bad advice from a close-minded, controlling, unrealistic, judgmental mother. Anyone with me?

Yentl asked: I have just purchased Joe Kelly’s Dad’s and Daughters book. It’s written by a dad about how he cares for his children and shows them he loves them in deed and by showing understanding for their emotional needs.
I am very hungry for a book written in the same style and tone, by men or fathers.
What books for, by, from, about etc dads/fathers/men could you recommend?
Thanks!

.vato. asked: I’m just curious how other people do this or if there is even a decision at all. My husband and I have two totally different ideas of parenting but somehow we do pretty good together through compromise and strategy.
So, how do you make parenting decisions? Does one person do the majority of the parenting? Do you even discuss parenting with your significant? I’m just curious! Thanks!
One more question–are your kids involved in parenting decisions?

LookInsideYourself asked:
Would it be considered “abandoment” if minimal contact was maintained and no support was given, even though the parents have money and they say they will support their own children but don’t? How do the grandparents protect the grandchildren and get the parents to use “tough love” on themselves and take responsibility instead of “taking the glory but not the responsibility”? (Grandchildren taken in during hard times but now parents are solvent and able, but won’t step back up to the plate.)

.vato. asked: I’m not talking about you personally. I’m talking about parents in general as a whole. Do you think parents (even when their children are at a young age) practice foresight? Do you think parents really take that responsibility to heart–almost like a job–and do their best?
Now, I’m talking about you. How do you feel about parenting books in general? What is your main concern as a parent? Do you think the parents who do not take parenting seriously will some day have an effect on your own children?
I’m just curious. I’ve been noticing more and more my own awareness of parenting. I’ve been really nervous (as I’m sure many parents are) about what I do now and the effects it will have on my children later. By all means, I’m confident about my parenting abilities and I’m always trying to improve but it’s so hard to figure out fact from fiction when there are so many “experts” out there.
Do you choose to follow an “expert’s” advice? If so, which one and why?

ajallstarr asked:
I filed a motion, the other party responded. And I would like to know if I should respond and file a response. Or respond by just presenting it in court on our hearing date. What is best?
If I am not adding to the hearing but responding to his proposal, is it best to file a response or just discuss in court? I am looking for what a judge/court prefers as standard practice.

purplelynn095 asked:
I have decided to take an online parenting class. I was wondering what site would be the most effective. I don’t have a credit card or a checking account so it needs to be one that is free. I have 3 kids between the ages of 5 and 11. Has anyone taken one that was effective? If so, I would like to know what site it was and some examples of how they work. It is not that I don’t know how to be a parent, but that I am just not very effective and need to do something.

computergrl69 asked:
Our parenting styles are differnt..he is WAY to permissive and layed back about the things his children do ie listening to inappropriate music or being disrespectful. When it comes to my children (who are not perfect) he is quick to judge and point fingers. I am more strict and structured than he is and I’m trying to convince him to go to parenting classes….he is stand-offish about it. How do we handle this?
