I lost my mom when she was 52, in late 2004, and it happened suddenly. I think both the suddenness and the young age are bad.
How old was your parent?
I'm sorry if this is a sensitive subject since it is about the death of a loved one.Who else lost a parent, maybe suddenly, when the parent was relatively young?
My mother was 34 when she died of breast cancer..I was 8.It was sudden because back then they were not as well educated about breast cancer ...so from the time she was diagnosed to the time she past it was 10 months...it had gone unnoticed for too long(this was the early 80's) She had a breast removed and started vigurous chemo therapy but all that did was leave her crippled with pain,bald and bleeding from her mouth constantly,her finger nails would bleed as well.I remember the best about my mother though.I remember how beautiful she was,what a wonderful god fearing baptist she was,and most of all how loving to us kids she was...I hold to that always...and keep in mind that if there is anyone that deserves to sit with the angels it is her...and I know for a fact she watches over us...there are way too many instances that I should probably be dead...but because of her watching over me I now have three great kids and a loving husband...this year I turn 35,1 year older than my mother was when she died...I do not ever let that escape me and always live my life to the fullest...I am sorry for your loss...I hope that you have been able to find some peace in knowing she is watching...please take care..Who else lost a parent, maybe suddenly, when the parent was relatively young?
Sorry about your mom.I too have lost Both of my parents.Within 7 months of each other .My mom died suddenly too from a bowel blockage she was only 69 maybe not young in a lot of peoples eyes but it doesn't matter the age your never ready to lose a parent.My dad died 7 months later latterly from a broken heart he just couldn't live without my mom.It has now been a 11/2 years since my mom passed and 1 year since daddy left us and they say it gets easier IM still waiting for that time.EDIT ....after reading others comments I have to say I was lucky that I had my parents for as long as I did.Reading the others here has really made my heart hurts sorry y'all for your lost....
I lost my Dad when he was 58. And it wasn't sudden. He suffered in the hospital for weeks, unable to talk or communicate with us. It was pure hell watching him suffer like that. I really think it would have been better if it had been sudden...his suffering haunts me nearly a year later.
I have not lost a parent i am lucky. I am sorry about your loss.
I lost my mother when she was 38 and when I was 7. Everyone thought she had a whole life ahead of her.

After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
how long does it take to get approved? how long after being approved does it take to get a child?After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
My sister just got approved by out county for her foster license, just waiting on the state. Her ';boss'; told her it could be anywhere from 1 day to 1 year, so always be prepared.
How long does it take to get approved?
The classes take about 2 months if you haven't already taken them.
After going through the classes you have to get a background check, finger printed, and fill out a state application. Then you have to have a house inspection done by the company you go through or the city and state, you also have to have a fire inspection done. The fire inspection is done at your cost.
Now on the application that part depends on you, the pickier you are the longer it will take to get a child. I don't know about TX but in Ohio you have to be a foster to adopt, and you cannot choose a race. If you put down say that you will not take white children, you automatically are disqualified because it will deem you racist, and they will not put children into a racist home.
As I said the pickier you are the longer it will take to get a child. My sister and Brother-in-law met a couple who got their foster license through the county almost 7 months ago, and based on the type of children they are willing to take they have not yet gotten any children. This couple isn't looking to foster but adopt and have filled out for a specific type of child.
They will not take children over 4, who have add, adhd, no other learning disabilities, no handicaps what so ever, or no other behavior issues. So based on what they will take they will get passed over until they are a last resort. (what her boss has stated) even if a child were to come in meeting the couples standard.
All in all from classes to getting approved takes roughly 4 months. I don't know about TX but in OH after getting approved you get $300.00 up front for taking the classes and passing all the other stuff.After being approved for being a foster parent in tx how long does it take to get a child?
VERY FAST!!!!! I grew up in a foster home. I'm not a foster child my dad and step mom wanted to have a child, but my step mom couldn't so they did the foster adopt. We always had kids in our house! I remember we had a little 2 yr old a week later and my parents adopted her after 6 months. And we had k8ids in and out of the house all the time.
In florida It takes about a year to be approved, it is a very thorough process, once you are licensed you will start receiving calls for placement almost immediately
If your open to most ages or genders then you could have a baby within days of being certified!concealer makeup

10. What would you say to a parent who demanded to know what child hit his child?
Its for an interview...thanks in advance.10. What would you say to a parent who demanded to know what child hit his child?
I would say...
I totally understand your frustration. It is just awful that your child was hit. We are definately aware of the situation and we take it very seriously. We have taken care of the situation. We can't release the name for privacy reasons and this is typical in any situation. If you talked to your child,I'm sure you could find out but we are unable to tell you nor will we be able to validate whether or not your child named the correct person. Again I apologize that this happened to your child. Here are some suggestions to ensure this doesn't happen again... then tell them some ideas on ways the child that got hit can react.10. What would you say to a parent who demanded to know what child hit his child?
As a teacher, you can never reveal information about another child to a parent. Confidentiality laws and policies prohibit it. To a parent who is understandably upset, you would say just that. ';I can not tell you the name of the child or any other information about him/her, but I can tell you that the child was appropriately reprimanded/punished. As a parent, I know you wouldn't want me to give someone else information about your child. I encourage you to speak to our principal about this incident.';
That you cannot give them the information, for safety reasons this is what I would say. I work in an after school program and we've actually had incidences of parents yelling at and grabbing at children they believe wronged their own child. I would say that if they want to set up a meeting with the principal and possibly with the student's parents they could be a possibility but, they don't need to know which child it was.
I would not tell I would say the issue is being adressed but In confidence I can not tell you the childs name. If your child wants to tell you I can not discourage him/her but I can not reveal the child's name. You may speak to the Principal or the school board but this is the policy in a situation such as this. Good Day

How does the number of chromosomes in a sex cell compare with that in a parent cell?
A sex cell is haploid. It has half the number of chromosomes.How does the number of chromosomes in a sex cell compare with that in a parent cell?
In humans, it's half. Not sure if that holds for ALL sex cells in every single animal.How does the number of chromosomes in a sex cell compare with that in a parent cell?
For all cells which go through sexual reproduction, the sex cells are haploid, or half. If the organism goes through asexual reproduction or a cycle of sexual alternating with asexual, this differs. In asexual reproduction, the number of chromosomes, does not need to be half, because rather than the combination of two completely different cells, rearrangement or partial transfer/trading of chromosomes from one cell to another occurs.

What about a step parent category under ';parenting';?
There are so many of us dealing with blended families. There's the step child, there's the custodial parent, there's the non custodial parent, there's so many good reasons for this category. How could we get one?What about a step parent category under ';parenting';?
I agree with you, however I also think that anyone who doesn't have stepkids or has never been one, needs to refrain from answering questions in it. There are alot of people on the parenting section answering questions about stepkids, and come to find out, they have no personal experience dealing with it.What about a step parent category under ';parenting';?
Your right. No one can really know what it is like to be one, unless they are one.
Of course though, based on my thumbs downs, they are going to try to.
I agree that there should be a part in the Guidelines for 'Step Parents'... We as Step parents sometimes do MORE then either of the bio parents.
I honestly don't think there should be a separate section for step parenting. My husband is the only dad my son has ever known his biological dad wants nothing to do with him. He is ten and he knows all about what is going on. In my husbands eyes he is his son not his stepson and will treat him the way he treats our other five children.
great idea but i have no idea of how to get the catagory on here. have to contact yahoo officials i suppose. how to do that and get a response, i am not sure. good idea you have though.
In my opinion you should not keep refering to it as step parents.When you are living on a daily basis as a family unit, you must not differentiate between your, mine and ours.how can you expect the family to grow together if you are placing a barrier there that separates everyone. A family is a family regardless of the composition.Parenting is still parenting but with different issues at times.
you don't need a separate category. its all parenting
good idea!
Suggest it to the powers that be at yahoo.
Ya know, I do beleive that's a good idea. I don't have any step children, but I do have a son that when he goes to see his father and step mother he comes home in a terrible mood. Someone explain that one to me. I could go on and on in this subject, as I am sure alot of other parents could also. There are alot of different views I am fully aware of.
