How to deal with a pouting child?

Just wondering if there is any way to deal with a 5 year old pouting child besides ignore her. Its an almost everyday occassion in my classroom. Today she refused to go to music class so I took away her reccess, so I took away her recess. The child easily spent half of her day pouting.
The child is in my classroom. The parents are aware of the situation, she does the same thing at home. She pouts because she doesn’t get her way 100% of the time.

Do children who are raised by *** parents grow up to be ***?

In much the same way that all straight parents have straight kids?
No—- Of course I am not serious, silly.

I just saw an answer to another question and this “teacher” was all upset about having students in her class that have been adopted by *** couples.

I can’t understand what the problem is about a *** couple giving a home to a kid that needs one.

The sound on my parents big screen tv goes off and on on channels 11 and 13, but no other. What could it be?

I’m visiting them and its driving me nuts. They are oblivious. Their “solution” is to getting sound in the living room is to turn on the tv in their bedroom to the same channel and turn it up really loud. This is what old people do…omg… HELP!

Its a dish network, with a big screen Sony, and like I said, its only two channels where the sound is going in and out. What can it be?

have you ever met anyone in real life who loves your favorite band as much as you do?

i think likegibberish had a question like this a while ago

i know there are tons of people who are obsessed with radiohead, but i’ve never actually met them
one time i was trying to explain to my parents how big of a deal it was that i saw jeff mangum live and i told them that if you asked 300 people, one would be obsessed with neutral milk hotel, i immediately realized that that was probably wrong though
at the concert i went to, certainly everyone there knew how big of a deal he was

the band that inspired this question is p:ano, i love them, sometimes i wonder if i’ll ever meet another p:ano fan ever, if i do, we will become best friends
i feel like animal collective has had a huge surge in popularity recently, they’re becoming like f***ing fleet foxes or the killers or something

How do I trust he won’t hurt me again, I’m already pregnant, how do i survive?

I’ve been with my bf for a little over 3 years, he has been told me he wanted to marry me and have a family practically since we fell in love. Even though I had my own place, i always stayed with him at his parents “garage apartment” (which is just a building outside mommy and daddy’s) b/c he needed that to access all of his equipment for his buisness. To save up some money and try to pay off HIS credit card debts, I moved in with him in this tiny hole. No washing machine, the toliet and shower worked 1/2 the time, it was horrible and nasty! A year goes by, no debt paid off, no wedding band,nothing. i move out, but we still make up and get back together, then i catch him with another women 2 days after he was “tring” to hve kids with me. of course after awhile i forgave him, months later i find emails he sent to other women, and they are not just friendly. Now, im pregnant! He says hurtful things to me when he is mad and that he doesnt have to be there for me or the baby! Wht do i do

How does a 14-year-old earn money quick?

I need $60 for an acoustic guitar that someone’s selling in the newspaper (i’ll buy it if it’s good.) Then I need to earn money for an electric guitar and equipment. People in my neighborhood find time to mow their own lawns & walk their own dogs. Should I wait till I’m 15 to get a job? I don’t wanna keep moochin off my parents.

What should I do if I think my neighbors deal illegal drugs?

Basically the house to our left has been emptied and filled multiple times in the past couple years but this time they’re staying. My parents and I are 99.9% they’re doing/dealing something. My question is what type of evidence must you have to call the local police department on suspicion (spelled wrong) of drugs? We can’t just call them and say “hey our neighbors are rowdy they’re on something!” Our neighbors are odd. I’ve seen atleast 20 vehicles pull into there driveway (only far enough so their rear-end doesn’t get hit by traffic) honk the horn, someone comes outside, they go up to car window, and the car leaves. This happens ALOT. They also keep a “guard” dog chained up outside in their driveway so people can see it maybe? They also get into LOTS of fights in their front lawn with different people every time. What do we have to hear/see in order to take action? P.S. The Popos show up about once a month for random things. (Fire, dismestic disturbance) to name a few.
Also, if it means anything, we live in a ghetto town.

Did he cast a spell on me?

Alright, first, I apologize if I am posting in the wrong section.

Secondly, I apologize that I am not well versed in Santaria, but respect that someone on here will hear my plea and be willing to give me some sort of idea as to what is happening in my life.

Third, I am sorry if this is long!

I believe that I have been cursed. In all honesty by my ex-boyfriend (who I will call M) who is of Somali decent. It is not only until just recently that the thought came to mind, but things have been happening to me since the last time I saw him or he attempted to contact me to no avail.

Four years ago, I officially, officially, broke up with him after he moved from a different Province to try and win me back again. He seemed different, almost possessed with evil, and kept talking about people following him and people “knowing” something about him. I was almost convinced he was addicted to some sort of substance.

In order to make him disappear, I had to move to a new city and told my parents not to disclose my where-abouts if he ever called, which he did and which they did. So I felt safe, and moved on with my life.

I had a “spiritual journey” of sorts that year, living on my own, playing with the tarot cards, writing out a storm, listening to the stars in the sky…

Months, I met and fell in love with my soul-mate, honestly the most perfect man for me. BUT, since we’ve met, we’ve had NUMEROUS horrible things occur!

-we’ve been evicted from two homes (both times due to the landlord and not us)

-Horrible car accident where i was lucky to walk away

-we became pregnant with our first child and lost it due to an ectopic pregnancy (long story involved there, but basically they first gave me something to end the pregnancy without having to have surgery. Then, I ended up back in the hospital because the pregnancy didn’t successfuly end and my tube ruptured.)

- We are now suffering from infertility

- My Aunty has been diagnosed with liver & bowel cancer

- we were robbed by 6 drug addicts one night downtown and my boyfriend ended up being charged because he ran after the theives and defended himself

-traffic tickets

-transit issues (breakdowns on my way to work, etc)

- injuries (stepping on nails, bumping into things, slipping in the bath)

-branch fell on our tree in a freak storm- lucky it didn’t crush us

-moeny issues- Payday Loan Company we are about to take to court cleaned out our bank account with a pre-auth debit

- boyfriend was fired from his job of three years right before our planned vacation- we are also in the process of disputing them with Employment Standards

Just every litte random bit of bad occurences have occured to us since we’ve met. It has only made our love grow stronger, but it is getting to be a little too much.

I’m a believer in energy and spirituality, karma of sorts- what you put into the universe is what you will get back. I am on most days, a caring human being with a love for the world and all living things. I try to emit positive energy, not in hope that it will bring good things back to me (well, maybe a little) but because it is my core reason for being, it is important that I just be myself and accept the world for all that it is.

About a month ago I had two vivid dreams in one night. The first was me in the backseat of my moms vehicle, where a strange man (not my step-father) was in the passenger seat.
My mom had picked me up, and I wasn’t wearing a seat-belt. She started to drive very erratic and fast, as though she had been drinking. I kept pleading with her to slow down but she was slumped in her chair and not responsive. The strange man also kept calling her by her first name, telling her to listen to me…
Finally, as I saw we were nearing the end of the road (looked to be a house at the end of the street) I pleaded and begged for her to stop so I could get out, but she wouldn’t listen.
I made the dream end at this point because I didn’t want to crash.

After falling back asleep, I dreamed about holding a large baby girl, very, very close, while calmly treading in the water. I protected the baby from people trying to splash her, and felt a sense of affection and deep love for the baby as though it was my own.

This past weekend (Canadian Thanksgiving) my boyfriend and I went to my moms house. It was beautiful as the whole family was together for the first time in 10 years. However, Saturday night my mom drank a little too much wine (seems to be a common thing lately- but that is another story all together), and my Aunty became sick in the bathroom. I guess there was blood in her vomit (sorry for being so blunt) and my mom broke down with my grandmother and me by her side. She kept falling in my arms and sobbing that her sister was dying. It was awful.

Anyhow, full circle from my previous dream, that night I fell asleep and dreamt of the ex boyfriend, M. I dreamt that he threatened to kill me and there
was a huge ordeal with me trying to pass on this threat to the police. At one point in the dream, my mom was trying to explain on my behalf and kept interjecting her side of the story over me in a slurring drunk tone.

My mom woke me up before I could reach the end of it.

That day, I reflected alot… and since then, I feel as though I’ve been weighed down alot. My energy levels are defleating, my hope is defleating, my courage is fleeing and I am irritated all the time. I really don’t know what to do- or what I can do… or who to go to… I maybe just needed to hear that there is reason behind all this madness.

I also wanted to add that he did threaten me… the last time I spoke to him was over the phone. He was begging me to get back together with him. I wouldn’t budge. He then threatened to get back at me and my family. I threatened to call the cops if he ever called me, or my mother again.
