You might need to go down to the Department of Social Services. Make sure that the person you are staying with comes along. That way they will know that you are being taken care of. Good luck and God Bless:) * The only legal option is to file for guardianship in the probate or circuit court in the city or county where the minor now resides. Social service agencies will not remand a child into the custody of a non relative without a court order allowing the action. Please be advised, no action will be taken until an investigation has been completed by the state's department of children's and family services (CPS, DFS). If the situation is warranted the information will be submitted to the juvenile or family court for further action. Guardianship is seldom granted unless both parents have been deemed unfit and the court terminates their parental rights to the child.
Why is it Family is considered as basic social unit?
In ancient society, the family was the basic unit and acted like a small government with a head (father) and other members (wife and children). The wife had an important role of caring for the children in the household. This basic unit served as a means to reproduce and increase the human family.
How do you convince your mom to unground you?
well all you do is tell them it's not fair and start to cry but you're face has to turn read and you yell and kick and run to you're room and jump on you're bed with a running start this might not start this might or might not work it depends what kind of parents you have if they are drunk then it wont work
Another thing is you can clean the whole house and don't beg them to unground you because that would make it worse. Do what ever they say then they might unground you.
Why is the nuclear family the most ideal family?
It's a basic social group united through bonds of kinship or marriage, present in all societies. Ideally, the family provides its members with protection, companionship, security, and socialization. The structure of the family and the needs that the family fulfils vary from society to society. The nuclear family two adults and their children is the main unit in most societies.
The nuclear family fulfils all the needs for a family to function normally. it's what makes a family complete. It also carries on the tradition many abided by.
Hope that helps...

moms love to have home made cards given to them by their children just saying somthing simple like "i love you mom" or somthing like that. moms also love to be hugged by their kids. somtimes when my mom is upset, or mad about somthing, like today, I'll hug, her and give her a note telling her i love her.
There is no way to completly stop babies from crying, but there are ways of preventing it for as long as possible. If your going out somewhere, make sure you have EVERYTHING you will need. Baby bottles, wipes, diapers, even diaper rash cream. Also bring things that generally make your baby feel comfortable and safe. This could include toys, blankets, ect. Always be ready for the worst, and when your baby starts crying make sure you have everything to cheer your baby up!
Since I am a woman I will explain how being bi is from a woman's perspective first. If a woman is bisexual, that means that she has sexual feelings for both men AND women. So she could date, love, have sex with, and marry either gender. If a man is bisexual, it's the same thing- he has feelings for both men AND women. If you know somebody who says they're bisexual "but only on the internet," it probably means that they aren't bi, but they either want attention or are just trying to figure themselves out. If you are truly bi, then you wouldn't be telling people you're bisexual on the internet, and saying that you're strait to everyone else. Unless you're hiding it. In that case, you should probably keep your mouth shut, and wait until you're ready for EVERYONE to know. Because even though you only put it up an a few websites, news will travel if someone you know sees it. Just love who you are, and if you are bisexual, you're not alone. Hey, look at me for instance, I'm bi and I'm perfectly happy with who I am. It took a while to get this way, because for years I tried to repress those feelings. I finally let them go about 2 years ago. And I'm glad I did.
Get your mom to be away from home and secretly decorate your house.
Also, your mom would love it if you and your other family members prepared dinner and a cake.
Now hide around the house and jump out when she comes in.
It's a piece of cake.
:D
What is the disadvantages of early marriage?
I'm 34. I was 22 the day of my first marriage. I was 27 the day of my second. I was getting married while all my friends were dating. In retrospect, I made no mistakes. Your understanding of yourself and your needs changes as you age. If I could travel back in time, would I tell myself not to get married? Yes, I would. But my younger self would tell me all the reasons he believed he should get married, and he'd do it anyway.
I don't know of anything more challenging in life than relationships (except maybe fatherhood). I don't really expect that to change too much. If I was sipping coffee with you right now, I would probably ask you why you're considering marriage. I would try to shine light on the deeper meaning behind the idea. What are your hopes? What are your expectations? Does your partner share the same ones? I would ask you about economics. I'd tell you that while I know that 'economics' is probably the least romantic word to think of when you're considering marriage, you need to take a hard look at it. I'd mention that if you don't think about it now, you will have to address it later, and it will most likely happen through conflict between you and your partner. I'd ask if the sex was good enough to last you....forever? And most importantly, is your friendship and interest in one another strong enough to carry you through times when you can't be intimate for whatever reason?
I don't know of any 'negative' effect of an early marriage to be honest with you. Your relationship will bring you pleasure and pain whether you are married or not. Getting married will give you tax breaks. If you have a lot of $ or some property, it would be at risk.
In the end, you have to feel open and uplifted when you think about getting married. It just has to feel like the right step to take at this moment in your life, regardless of what others are telling you. Best of luck~
What time does a family reunion usually end?
Family reunions may last an hour, or six hours. Family reunions are usually held to reunite with your family. This could be after a death, a birth, or just to reunite the family. Families have different preferences, therefore it isup to the family members, and the reunion holders to set a date and time limit. I would recommend only having a family reunion for a few hours unless you want part of the family feuding because in most family reunions a fight is bound to happen. Families usually don't consist of acceptably great family reunions.
Love is having a indescribable feeling of passion for another. Jealousy is getting angry over (and wanting) something you can't have.
How do you confront a bully in workplace?
It is extremely important to keep a written record of every time there was bullying, who was involved and what happened, including the actions and attitude of any supervisor or foreperson.
Get support from your friends who will back you up.
Get support from your union, if there is one.
Keep a record too of what happened when you reported to the employer and what actions he/she took. If the bullying continues you may have to go outside the workplace to police or the courts.
What do you call a uncle's cousin's sister's daughter?
Your daughter's aunt is your sister, or your spouse's sister
Your sister's husband is your daughter's uncle
Their daughter is your daughter's first cousin (and your niece)
Her sister is also your daughter's first cousin (and your niece)
So, the answer is: her first cousin, and your niece.
Advantage of having small family?
It's not necessarily a fact that small families are the best, but the fact that raising just one child is extremely expensive. There is the hospital bill, one must have good medical/dental (very expensive) for those toothaches, possible braces, fevers, scrapes, childhood diseases, not to mention the many shots children get during their younger years. There is clothing, food, a good home to live in, education and other hidden costs. Your child is better adjusted if they (a boy) are put into a sport at the age of 5 or 6, or if it's a girl, into dancing, etc., to keeping them off the streets and also give them insight as to what the future can hold for them. It costs many thousands of dollars to raise one child, and I use to know the stats on it, but it has since changed. If a family can afford more than 2 children (good to have sibling) then they should go for it. I have known families during the 50s to 70s where there were 5 - 8 kids in a family and they were all well adjusted kids, not to mention the oldest child always ends up helping mom and pop out. Large families can be fun, but if you can't afford it this can cause a great deal of pressure on the parents and either shorten their life span or end in divorce. To have a large family you have to be well organized. If you are interested, please rent the DVD of "Cheaper By The Dozen" the first version has Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball in it and together they have 11 children and she had another one when they were married. It's quite a hoot this movie and is a true story. It will give you some insight into how chaotic life can be with a large family and make you realize there are a lot of things you just never thought of while raising a large family. If one can afford it and both partners want a large family by all means, they should go for it. If you can't afford it 1 - 3 children is plenty. Marcy
Is it true Pastor Walter Pearson is marrying again?
I do not know but according to the bible, he is free to do so if he so wishes
How can you stop your son's homosexuality?
You don't. You accept him as he is and also accept the fact that you didn't bring him into the world on condition he grow and develop in a manner that suits your beliefs and prejudices. He will have enough problems as he grows and develops and when you made the decision to have him you committed to supporting him for all his life. Stand by him.
Consider why you want to make him different. Are you afraid of the opinions of others? Do you spend your life watching and criticizing what others do with their lives, and worrying they might be doing the same to you? If so, you need to take a good, hard look at yourself and your priorities.
Do you have a problem with your son on religious grounds? If so, search your own ideals and discover whether you follow every single rule and regulation, however tiny, set down in your religious rulings of choice.
Are you concerned on grounds of health? That is just plain silly.
Speak frankly with your son about your concerns, while making it clear he is your son no matter what he is or what he does; ensure he's aware he has your support no matter what.
Anything less diminishes you as a person and makes an utter mockery of your role as a parent.
Would you suggest to others that they hesitate to consider becoming parents for fear their child or children don't live up to their ideals? Of course not. Go hug your son, tell him he's loved, and let him know you'll be there for him always.
Don't risk losing him; you'll never forgive yourself.
Adding:Talk to other parents of gay children and see how they handled their son or daughter's difference. Contact your local chapter of PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians And Gays) - visit pflag.org to find one near you, pflagcanada.ca if you're in Canada. They've been exactly where you are now, many with the same thoughts as you that this is something they must stop. But they made the choice their love for their child is stronger than the need to fit their community's views. Talk to them and get support. They understand what you're going through and can help. Another view:Instead of trying to editorialize, moralize, and talk the asker out of their question, I will attempt to answer it as written. Loving someone unconditionally doesn't mean you accept everything they choose and do. Tolerance is the opposite of true love. True love corrects and protects. If a child wants a firearm to commit suicide, you don't give them one. Likewise, a loving parent does not give a drug abusing child drugs. They get them help. A child might be born with a "running in the street" gene, but you cannot let them yield to it.In a lot of cases, a parental lifestyle of both full acceptance and prevention is best. The parents should not divorce and remarry. The father should be a man, and neither parent should be abusive or overbearing. The parents should make sure there are no opportunities for the children to be abused nor molested by anyone, even family members. Beware of anyone who is defensive of the time they spend with your child. You can try to instill in them at a very young age that gay sexual behavior is wrong and best avoided, but not in a way that comes across as judgmental. You certainly don't want to make a big deal out of the issue and go on and on about it, because if you do, you may actually drive them to it in order to spite you.
If there is a chance for them to stop being gay, which is probably slim to none, it will only come through acceptance and love. Your love has to be strong enough to withstand their protests, temper tantrums, and immaturity. You have to be firm on your rules and boundaries, and let them know the rules are because you love them. A parent should never get any pleasure out of giving discipline. What you can do is share with them why it is displeasing to God, if they are a believer. You can try to reason with them. If you believe it is wrong, it is important to tell them what you feel. If by chance they later leave the lifestyle, you don't want them coming to you with recriminations about you not telling them. If you are religious, you can pray for them. You can try to play games that teach self-control in general. You can help them overcome any insecurity and emotional immaturity. Maybe they are poor with sports and you can help them work through it. If they have unresolved issues, you can take them to therapy for those.
Whether any of the above works is irrelevant. The goal is to have a child who is as spiritually and emotionally healthy as possible. The key is to love them for them, not their orientation.
How do you make a mom happy when she is mad?
Do something special for her. Make her breakfast in bed, a cake or something. Tell her your sorry. And MAKE SURE SHE KNOWS YOU LOVE HER. That's a big thing you need to do. And all you have to do is say a few words! Make sure she knows that you serious on what ever you appoligize for.
- There are several causes for single parenthood. Women especially can become pregnant by their boyfriend and he will desert her; divorce where the one parent may not want responsibility of the children; some women want to have a child without getting married.
What is a serious relationship?
It's different for everyone depending on how they look at it. You just know that it's getting close and personal. If you feel like you could spend forever with that person (or at least not fight everyday whle living together) and you can't stand to be away. That's pretty serious.
How do I convince my parents to paint my room a different color?
Offer to paint it yourself. And if they say, "You don't like the color, you re-paint it yourself", agree to that, too.
You may want to consider compromise.
- Offer to pay for half the cost,out of your own money, or offer to do "extra" household chores to offset the cost.
- Be reasonable in your choice of colours.
If the house you are living in is a rental, there may be restrictions on the colours that can be used.
Be willing to accept a paler version of the colour you have your heart set on. If you want a black room it takes several coats of paint to get it there, and several to remove it when the time comes for change. Consider painting the walls a medium to dark grey and using accessories, (furniture, linens, window coverings, etc.) to bring your colour in. This works as well with royal purple, hunter green, red or any other deep intense colour.
- Help, or offer to, with the work.
Unless you are nearly a full grown adult, painting an entire room is beyond most people.
There are, however, are any number of things you can do.
The room will need to be prepared. You can clean it, pack all the extraneous bits into boxes, help to move the furniture either out of the room or into the center of it. Remove all window coverings and/or hardware, put down drop cloths, remove all switch and outlet covers (put them somewhere safe and do not loose the screws to reinstall them). The walls need to be smooth so any cracks, nail holes, or other damage need to be patched, sanded and primed. You may not be able to do all of that but you can help.
If you are not doing the actual painting, or at least some of it, be helpful, even if the only things yo can do are bring coffee or water to the person painting and stay out from under foot.
- Do more than your share of returning the room to order. Reinstall the switch and outlet covers, help hang the window coverings. This is the best time to reposition any furniture you may want to move so have a good idea where you want things, and that they will actually fit use a measuring tape and graft paper to figure this out. No one enjoys moving furniture repeatedly because the person planning the room is unprepared.
- And finally, promise faithfully you will maintain the room in good order, and follow through.
Keep it clean, pick up after yourself, make your bed (there is little that will spoil the look of a nice room as much as a messy bed), take pride in your new room and show it.
Saying thank you, and giving credit where credit is due will go a long way with your parents. So instead of saying, "Look at my new room!" try saying, "Look at the way my father painted my room for me!"
Why do some grandparents spoil their grandchildren?
Parents like to give their kids everything they want or ask for because they value their kids too much. Spoiled teenagers or kids are more likely to think that everything is theirs or everything is easy for them to get when they do not care about others. They are usually rude or ignorant to other people, and do not thank adults for their hard work.
