They will review the living condition that the children will be living in.  They will see that the home is safe, food is available.  They have beds to sleep on that are clean.  They have things that they will need (such as toothbrush, shampoo, combs in other words, basic essentials).

For my children and to have the most Un-Selfish mother. My mother would do anything for me, and never expect a thing in return. My husbands mother is the total opposite. So I am sooooo thankful to have the mother I have.

It's obvious what the results are from being tougher on one than the other. I appreciate your honesty in your question.\n\nIt's tough but you are going to have to let her fall and pick herself up. She knows she has a safe place to land therefore she is using that landing when she needs financial help. You have got to stop giving it to her. I know it's easier said than done. I went through a similiar experience with my only child and it took awhile but now she is financially independent. She struggles from time to time, but I know she is OK. I worried so much about her being so dependent on me in the event of my death. I don't worry anymore because I know she is OK.\n\nIt takes time and it won't happen overnight but you need to talk to her, let her know that it's time for her to grow up and you will be there for her emotionally but not financially.\n\nGood Luck to you. I'm sure your question has hit home for alot of parents, believe me, you're not the only one with this problem.

Yes, me. Not only do I have a bed full of my kids but we also have fred,(our biggest stuffed bear), sheep who is little but very hard, hippy (hippo), little and very soft. PUPPY who is also small and very soft, I really dont mind we do have a king size bed, but we also have about 20 pillows, it makes for a very loving but cramped bed, I sometimes find myself using fred the bear as a go between knee pillow, without my son catching me that is. Its all good. Hey this is life, I say do what makes you happy.

more than likely the children will grow thinking \nA. this is acceptable behavior (since mom doesn't do anything about it)\nB. This is normal behavior (i.e everybody does it)\n\nMom needs to get her butt to closest battered womens shelter for some therapy

My brother's favorite pillow, he's resting in peace now.  I accidentally left it in a hotel room on the bed, one of the maids took it away thinking we had one too many of the hotel's pillows.  When we got back to the room, I cried, yelled, and had a emper tantrum, but there was nothing they could do for me, it was gone.  Maybe it was good for me somehow to be parted from it so I could move on and away from my long period of mourning.

You can never say, unless you know the mothers involved.\n\nSay the Working Mom is lazy.  Goes to work, yes.  Comes home, does not cook or clean for her child.  The child gets what it wants just so the mother can have peace and quiet.  It stays up late and falls to sleep whenever.  She constantly forgets to wake him up for the bus and has to take him to school, come home, rush to get ready for work and looks a slob all day.  Their values are self first in everything, get what you want, others don't matter.\n\nSay the Working Mom is industrious and clean.  Cooks dinner every nite and makes sure Timmy does his homework, takes his bath and goes to bed on time and behaves.  She gets him up in time for school, gets herself ready for work and is never late, looking great.  Values would be, think of others, be responsible (be on time, think of others, dress nice for them, don't rush, start early), your actions count, put your best foot forward, etc.\n\n\nSo, just because 2 working moms (are working) doesn't mean negative things can't be attached to one.  The same thing is true with the Stay-at-home Mom, she can either do a good job as a wife and mother or NOT!

The Difference Between Rich/Poor People\n\n\nOne day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip \nto the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor \npeople live.  They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of  what would be considered a very poor family.\n\nOn the return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was \nthe trip?"\n\n"It was great, Dad."\n"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.\n"Oh yeah," said the son.\n"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.\nThe son answered: "I saw that we have one dog and they had four.  \nWe have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they \nhave a creek that has no end.  We have imported lanterns in our \ngarden and they have the stars at night.  Our patio reaches to the \nfront yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece \nof land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.  \nWe have servants who serve us, but they serve others.  We buy our \nfood, but they grow theirs.  We have walls around our property to \nprotect us; they have friends to protect them."\nThe boy's father was speechless.\n\nThen his son added, "Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are."\n\nIsn't perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would \nhappen if we all gave thanks for everything we have, instead of \nworrying about what we don't have.\n\nAppreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!\nPass this on to friends and acquaintances and help them refresh \ntheir perspective and appreciation.\n\n"Life is too short and friends are too few.

Do your OWN homework. Anyone who thinks this is rude...look at her other questions. If you are studying to be a caretaker of children, you should learn this stuff yourself.

.Human being like other mammals are helpless at birth.\n.They are to be nursed and reared by adults.\n.Mother is the person who patiently cares for the child with kindness and affection.\n.A child learns the mother-tongue from her.\n.And knows the world, gets education and inherits culture from her mainly.\n.Finally it is her gene that makes the baby, the future of mankind.\n.Thus healthy, intelligent, educated, cultured mothers can create a good nation..
