My son is shy. Whenever someone (adult) speaks to him, he hides behind me and doesn't respond to the person. A lot of other children may also be like this but I'm afraid there might be something wrong with him. It took two...

That's how I feel. I'm annoyed, irritated and tired. Hubby has been quite busy at work. Can't even talk to him without getting a far away look and monosyllabic answers. Children have been a bit of a handful. Just want a little bit...

lilblondiemjd I'm so sorry you're going through such a rough time! I have a short fuse, so I can't imagine having one on top of having children and a household to take care of! Not to mention a husband that is having trouble communicating. :( Are your kids young enough to...

Pushhyarag2000 Hello. It is not clear how old this boy/son is. If I can distinguish the behavior from what you describe here, the boy is not shy but has developed inhibitions. Kids who are shy don't avoid exposure but just that they hold back from responding. Either they...

Heather Echola Mylot is a very therapeutic place to visit. It does keep us from saying things we should not at home. I think it is much cheaper than a Psychologist as well.

greenline Sounds like quite an ideal place to live ! Very good for you. I like the feature that there are lots of things to do on the weekend. Otherwise, it would be boring. After working hard during the whole week, there has to be good ways to relax and refresh over...

WakeUpKitty That you can't find your name doesn't mean it is nowhere. It depends on where the name is registered and what kind of policy the site has. Will is hide your name or make others able to see you joined it. Perhaps you are lucky. Googling someone's name or email...

wisedragon I believe in helping out parents, but you don't need to give all of your money to them. Abuse is a different story. It's so much better if the parents would not depend on their children for their retirement.

dragon54u It's not right for the father to quit working and expecting his daughter to pay his way. The job of parents is to prepare children to make their way in the world and to support them until they can--unless they're deadbeats, in which case the parents should...
