This guy was the biggest Anti-Steve critic around here.  I kinda miss him!  
Wish he were back.

Have friend in CO, ex-husband in Texas (still resides there).  Divorce
was filed in Texas (I believe).  The husband now wants/needs to sign
away his parental rights.
I can't seem to find any documentation on the web.  

I would like to apologise to all posters and readers of ukpp.
I made a post asking for advice and now the board has been flooded with
nasty messages from my ex and his family.  This was never my intention and I
am sorry if what you have read has upset any of you.

I just saw a post from someone with a 7.5 month old who is crawling. My 7
month old only has rolled over once. Should I be particularly concerned? My
inclination is to assume everyone develops at their own rate. She has good
fine motor control and good language skills (I guess).

Well...I received some paper from DSCE regarding the child support payment
they have come up with. I noticed however that my ex girlfriends
information as far as employers was not included but mine was. Plus I
thought that the amount I need to pay for medical was high and thought ...

I'm de-lurking for some advice.
My little girl (2 and a bit) has woken up for the last three nights in a

while the decision is kinda sick and anti-male (what else is new) it did say
that due to weekend and summer visitation of the kids with the mother, the
mother (NCP in this case) had "fixed expenses" throughout the year she had to
meet due to the visitation of kids.    Now I think ...

My DH has never been into the whole craft thing that much. I think he is a
bit different than some kids. You read in the parenting mags that kids are
into process not product. I think that is not so for my son. He always wants
me to draw him something. It is the something that he ...

What is a father?
I got into an argument with my dad a few months ago and I suspect I'll
being getting into another argument with him tomorrow (not
intentionally). (I suppose I should point out that I'm 21 years old.)

HI Again,
It is clear that I continue to come across badly.  Me being arrogant
is far from the truth, for those who know me.  The "Kiss My Feet"
remark didn't help.  The person who "gives me no support", I respect

    When is it okay, when your child is outside somewhere (not
necessarily outside of your home) to get dirty -- meaning, hands in
dirt, nature, etc.?  When is it not okay?
    Mine, for point of reference, is almost 2.5 years old.  It has

After seeing someone elses post here (the one about him wanting to come home
from work and do nothing), I was thinking about how things 'work' in our
house !

Hello to the group!
I was hoping I could tap some of your collective experience regarding
kids and swimming lessons.
My daughter is 5, has always loved the water, even if she was a bit
