    How is interracial marriages viewed in the eyes of God?

    There is NOTHING in the bible about it. My inlaws claim to be these hardcore Christians, go to church everytime the doors are open and are very active in the church. Yet, they are THE most racist people I've ever met in my life. They drilled into their kids heads that blacks are like monsters...

    One of our teen's is stealing from us?

    My girls used to slam their doors when they got mad. I got so fed up one day after an argument and door slam that I removed the door completely from it's hinges. Removing the door for a week became punishment after that every single time a door was slammed. Once, my oldest went 3 weeks without...

    Teens and their choices in friends

    They USED to spend all their time here, but they've been spending more time at her friends house. Her friends mom just had a baby and she even admitted that she's so busy with the baby that she knows she's not monitoring her daughter all the time (baby just turned 1 yr old and they have no other...

    One of our teen's is stealing from us?

    First of all, if he's stealing from you, then he shouldn't be allowed to play football! I'd talk to his coach. 2nd, I know a LOT of people that are literally addicted to Mt. Dew. My sister is one. She's always got one in her hand and when she goes without, she gets horrible headaches. I hate...

    Teens and their choices in friends

    My 12 year old (she will be 13 in August) has a bff that lives behind us. They are inseparable. Her bff has always been a wonderful girl....Christian, polite, sweet great kid all around that comes from a great family. Well, 2 months ago, she pierced her ear way up high in the cartilage herself...

    Where did I fail?! What is going on with my girls?!

    I've told her repeatedly that I am extremely proud of her for coming to me. She told me she knew it was wrong, she was scared and she knew that God was disappointed in her. I know Jesus is living in her because of that! I'm trying to now turn this into a learning experience and hopefully she...

    Where did I fail?! What is going on with my girls?!

    Dora, now I know how you felt when you went through that with Viola. You just keep asking yourself "How in the world was it MY child?!". *sigh* I'm just heartbroken and sick thinking about how the person could have recorded that chat and that people could be looking at what she did. :*(

    Where did I fail?! What is going on with my girls?!

    I am just so sick over this. I often see girls on Facebook with barely any clothes on and I ask "Where are the parents??!!". Now I'm one of those parents. I feel like such a failure. My kids KNEW better. I can't believe this has happened with my children, in my home. The authorities are well...

    Where did I fail?! What is going on with my girls?!

    K (my 14 year old) came in my room while I was in bed late last night and shut my bedroom door. She started crying and told me that God has been telling her to tell me something that happened but that she's been too scared to but that God keeps telling her that I wouldn't get mad. So I'm sitting...

    Let me tell you what my 12 year old turd did...

    I felt safer with them being in a large group. The thought of just my 12 year old (she'll be 13 in August) walking around with a boy that I know nothing about didn't sit well with me at all. I've got an entirely new and more serious issue on my hands now. I don't know what in the world is going...

    Talk of suicide

    Her talking about it is probably her cry for help. She wants to commit suicide, but at the same time, she doesn't or can't bring herself to do it. :(

    Let me tell you what my 12 year old turd did...

    Haha! Yeah, I get that too! K got mad when I got them both cell phones. She was like "Why does C get one?! I asked for one when I was 11 and I didn't get one. Not fair!".

    Let me tell you what my 12 year old turd did...

    This made me lol...I envisioned myself chaperoning her to her senior prom. LOL! We have since talked. I failed to include that. I told her it's going to be harder for me to trust her now and she'll have to earn it back but it will take a while. She thinks she can do everything that her...

    Let me tell you what my 12 year old turd did...

    Just last week I replied in another thread saying teens couldn't be trusted. My 12 year old proved me to that this past weekend. Grrrr... We live in a small town and have a Spring festival each year. I took her, my 14 year old and their 13 year old friend and we met up with my best friend. As...

    Talk of suicide

    I agree with everyone here and their advice. DEFINITELY contact the school counselor. They can protect your child AND the others in the school. You may tell yourself that your daughter would never do anything major like Columbine, but you just. don't. know. My 14 year old daughter was just put...

    And so it commences....

    I LOVE this forum! It's like a support group for parents of teens! Maybe we can all help each other through the next few years.

    Help settle bedroom issue with older daughter

    Mike, yes....our bonus room is equivalent to what a basement would be used for. It only gets used by the girls and their friends occasionally though. To turn her current bedroom into a "bonus room"...well, it would be cramped! Then again, they are spending less time in the bonus room with...

    And so it commences....

    IMO, teens can't be trusted. The peer pressure is so great. All we can really do is PRAY that they make the right choices. I pray a lot for God to protect my girls from harm and help them make the right choices. I used to think my oldest would give me the most problems...which she does...

    Help settle bedroom issue with older daughter

    Kailey is 14 and Courtney is 12. Kailey has a tiny room. Courtney's room is larger. Then we have a bonus room. Right now, the bonus room is where the kids hang out when they have friends over, although here lately they've been going into their own rooms with their own friends. We have a...
