My son was entranced from my care when I was 17. I had him young and the social worker assigned didn't like me and said that she awe[ed] I'd neglect him, not that I had just that sh felt I would. He was gone for 4 years during which time they dragged it out in court as long as they could. It only ended when Children's Supporter threatened to do a department wide inquiry (all cases would be frozen while they pick through each and every single one, many would lose jobs). He'll be 6 in less than a month.
He's haven now but he is very passively aggressive, destructive, disrespectful and...gee I don't even have a vocabulary to time enough for adjectives.
He's stealing form us, treats (rational enough), Q-tips, notepads (he has coloring books and notebooks), band-aids, food from one of the daycare kids (I run a daycare)...etc. We can't depute him alone. He lies about stealing, lies in general. He doesn't listen, we've told him countless times not to acclaim loud right by our faces or when we are in a closed in space (car) because it's disruptive and really annoying. We ask him to play unperturbed while his brother is sleeping and when it suits him he will but usually he is quiet because he's getting into some other trouble. He is destructive to our home, he was chipping away at the walls on the surface, took marker and colored all over the carport, drew with black marker all over his new bed...he knows better. He is constantly...seeing how many pieces he can flourish something or seeing if it can come off and go back together. We ask him why he does these things, why he's breaking our home and he says "I thought it was fun"
The engage I read a while back said this behaviour was revenge and gave some tips on handling it but I can't just...give into this behaviour and let him deny everything I've worked so hard for. I hate spankings but we have started spanking him. It's gotten to the point where I am so angry I characterize as about just smacking him. I'm not going to I am in control of myself and if I feel like I'm loosing control I leave the accommodation.
But I have no clue what to do. It's clear he misses his foster parents and I have allowed them to continue to have visits (he sees them at least once a week and often for undivided weekends).
What else can I do? How do I get it into his head to stop destroying my home and lying and stealing from us?
His behaviour only occurs at our domestic not the foster parents, school or daycare. The only thing I've seen happening other places is stealing and then only normal things, treats and shin-plasters.
Do I Seem Like A I Loser?
Jul 29, 2009 by Agatha | Posted in Friends
I hanker after to be a Journalist either working as anchorwoman or celebrity reporter
I am 2 classes away from completing my Associate gradually and getting ready to transfer this fall. I am looking at schools in New York and Emerson College in Boston. I am from Boston and so if I do get accepted into New York I imagine it would make me feel a bit more successful. (That is not why I am going to New York, it’s because New York is the the media capital. )
I have been freelance longhand for 2 years now, making some money here and there. I have sporadically worked on my school newspaper. I’ve sent in manuscripts for children’s books that I have gotten rejected.
This decline I am hoping to do an internship at a publishing company, (take 2 classes at my college,) work 20-30 hours and volunteer at my resident community access channel;
I feel as though I have not accomplished much of anything and I will be 23 this fall. Others my age have cars, their own apartments, I have neither of those things and I am a only mom.
Do you think there is more that I should be doing? Do you think 23 is old? Am I on the right or wrong path?
Don't parallel yourself to others. One advantage to being 23 is being a little more mature than others who start younger. For example, I am just NOW, at 25, starting my B.S. in Physics and will not get my PhD until I'm in all likelihood 30 or 31. My professors have said that while I am older than the kids who start out (like 18), I am much more ripen and handle the work well. Just do what you need to do and don't worry about what everyone else has accomplished. You are your own person. Do what you feel is right.

Don't Give Up! It's delightful time, but you're doing and working toward what you want to do. Even if some of your stuff was rejected, so what. Stephen King's first manuscript was rejected justification of he stapled the manuscript instead of paperclips, just because the place rejected you, doesn't mean it wasn't gifted. Keep trying, you've come this far, don't give up.

Keep prevailing to school, without a degree u can't get no where.
23 is very young, its also the time where people make mistakes and learn.
Just focus on ur life's work and UR dreams.
and also being a good mother who is there for her child.

im 25 and be familiar with how ya feel. But what it really comes down to though.....is how you yourself defines success. I mean in the scope of things.....do you extraordinarily need to be successful by the standards of society? When you die.....do you really think you're going to take an apartment or a car with you? Those are all somatic things that would be considered meaningless. It's your experiences that you will take with you and how you treat other people. Be a great parent....and precisely love where you are at, instead of focusing on where you think that you should be.

you are a uninitiated single mom don't give up. Stay on the path you are on...switching up will only set you back and frustrate you. You are definitely not a loser. You have goals and are working towards attaining them....favourable for you. Don't be so hard on yourself. Forget what other people have or do...that's not one of your goals...to be like everyone else right?

You don't SEEM like a bummer, you ARE a loser. 23 is too old to make it from where you are you need to buy a trailer before you become such a huge loser that you have to live under a bridge and beg dogs to appropriate their meals with you. whether you have a car is the only way to measure personal success (rhymes with sucksass) do no more volunteering so nobody has to suffer your presence, and you are also fat which is irretrievable.

You don't evaluate you have accomplished much?
You have nearly achieved a degree, and you are a mother! I think that is something to be proud of.
I agree I don't think you should rival yourself with others. You must realize, that the media industry is hard to get into, but don't let that hold you back. If you have a passion to be a journalist, then that is what you should. 23 is still young. Perhaps as you get older, and you find yourself in the same plight, perhaps that is time when you should think with your head about your career.

In 7th grade, we didn't read books?
Jul 29, 2009 by StarGirl | Posted in Books & Authors
We didn't know anything. We didn't have book reports either except at the end of the school year and we were allowed to do a book we already read. AND I was in the advanced classes! I stroke like I'm behind, what are some books that I should read?
Can I put student loan money in a savings account?
Jul 29, 2009 by Gungadinn | Posted in Personal Finance
I am a grad follower. I can only take a couple of hours a semester. I qualified for a fairly large amount of low interest federal student loan wealthy. Yet, my college and books are paid for by a private party.
Would it be wise to take out the loan money and put it into a bank account to accrue interest while I am in school? My contemplative is I could take out all the loan money I can get and put it into a savings account not using ANYof it to pay for school, then when I graduate pull all of the money out, pay the loans back, and then solicit the earned interest to other debts such as credit cards, bills, etc. It's a long term plan, but I can see how the extra interest stinking rich would help.
Is this even possible? If it is, is it stupid? Or a wise idea?
Does anybody know what this book is?

i presume from it i think in middle school but
it's about these two kids a boy and a girl whose dad is a scientist. They go and live out in the forest in the middle of nowhere because he's studying some fungus that grows on the trees or something like that. The forest which has the fungus is getting cut down and i invent he's trying to save it or something i don't remember. The two kids find these weird creatures living underground. They live off the fungus but since the trees are getting cut down they're with one foot in the grave. They have to take body parts from people and attach it to themselves. i don't remember what else happens but i think the girl gives an eye to one of the creatures that is blinker. It was kinda weird. Sorry that i suck at describing things.i can't remember what its called so if you have any idea what it's called that would be valuable because it's been bugging me. thanks

My Title I literature group is reading the book "From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiller." This is my first look at the book as I prepare for our group discussions tomorrow. I can't wait to see what they think!
