Am I too old to raise a child?
I'm 37 years old and pregnant, and some family and friends tell me I'm too old (all their children are already 6 to 12 years old). They say that when this child has finished school I'll be reaching retirement age and won't be able to enjoy life's little ups and downs with him or her. Please give me some advice -- their comments are really getting to me.

I had my son right out of high school, I turned 18 two months before I delivered him and was a young single mom. I loved being a mom and did the best I could. I am now 37 pregnant with my second baby and I know I have so much more to offer and I will really enjoy it more because I am more confident, financially stable and am ready this time. I really despise the negative nancys in the world... you need to nip it in the bud now. Let them know that pregnancy is hard enough without their nasty (and they are nasty) comments and if they cannot appreciate how beautiful it is that you can have babies then to stop talking to you all together. Good Luck and God Bless you!posted 02/05/2013 by jfiore75
I'm 21 and have a little girl. I think 45 is the last time someone should have a baby and my mil had her last at 40 she is 51 and active in her sons life. They are just jealous lol.posted 01/01/2013 by Jessica349
Pish Posh! I am getting ready to give birth on my 40th birthday weekend. God made we women for such a time as this. I honestly think I will be a better mom now that I am older. It means so much more as well. Embrace the gift you have been given. :)posted 12/22/2012 by ndyeske
Please tell all those ignorant people to take a walk....I had my first at 18 ... I was so unprepared emotionally , physically and economically ....I did not know myself enough nor my decision was an informed one. ... I had adults giving me advise those people were more immature than I was at that age. My second I had at 28... I was ready then....third at 33 and now my last I'm 36. I'm pregnant now I feel i have wisdom and maturity to not make the mistakes I made with my first child. She's a great girl thankfully I must have done something right but... In the end she had a rough time with an unprepared mom. You are at the right stage having kids.posted 12/01/2012 by Vtav031710
For Alaska: ...not every mom in their 20's is as you described.. I can't believe you just reduced so many women to that. I am having fun! My child is my fun.. I don't need to be out consuming alcohol and traveling etc to consider my life full. I had my child at 19 years old and will be still be pretty young when she is an adult... You don't need to put others down to make a point. You can simply say: at 20 a career is often unstable or underdeveloped, at 20 you may have more energy, however, now you will be more patient/calm, etc. no need to make 20 year olds out to be desperate for freedom and less of a mother than you!posted 11/05/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

If you get pregnant "too quickly" after marriage, it's a problem for some people. If you wait "too long" it's a problem. Their comments are totally inappropriate and that's THEIR problem.posted 10/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I wonder, what do they expect you to do about it now? Really.... abort or give up for adoption?? When you're pregnant is not the time to be telling you that you (in THEIR *opinion*) have made a mistake. Which you haven't. I'm pregnant with my first at 37 and know several mothers who gave birth after 40 and I don't see their children suffering so much - or the mothers (and fathers) either.posted 10/08/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I also am 37 years old and I'm on my 5th pregnancy. I also have a granddaughter who will be turning 1 year in October! When my relatives found out about each pregnancy, they were always negative about it and that includes this one. I finally had to tell them to drop the subject or I wouldn't be speaking to them again. Life is to precious to allow the start of it to be influenced by negative remarks. If you feel you are ready to have this baby, regardless of your age, the rest don't matter. Appreciate this precious gift and enjoy this time!posted 09/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

postpartum weight depression
Comments (6)
I was in a similar situation. I'll tell you my story - hope it helps. I am 5'10" and was 122 pounds when I got pregnant with my 1st. Gained 25 pounds with that pregnancy and dropped it right after the delivery. Second pregnancy was just a year later and I gained 20 pounds with that one. It took longer to drop the weight - almost 18 months and when I finally did, my body wasn't the same anyway. My hips had turned out as they do with everyone during pregnancy and 2 pregnancies so close together meant they were never going to turn back in. My boobs had changed as well. My girlish figure was gone and I was miserable. It took some time and some long conversations with friends to realize that my "girlish" figure was gone because I wasn't a girl. I was a woman - a woman who had some curves, a woman whose body had changed with 2 pregnancies. Once I learned to accept that, I could embrace my new body. I've put a few pounds on now - I'm 5'10" and I weigh 144 pounds. I'll be 40 next month and I'll tell you that I think I look damn good!
The point of my story is that it sounds like a lot of this is psychological for you - as it was for me. If you can't get through this and start to see some positive in your new body, then I recommend some counseling. Good luck to you.
I could eat whar I wanted and was the perfect weight for my 5'1" frame. My metabolism is so slow now. It will never be the same. I know i will always have to watch what I eat.
I gained 50lbs. I dieted and exercised to lose most of the weight. I am still struggling with 15lbs.
Good luck!!
Mommy to our Beautiful Collette born on 5/20/2010.
And honestly what matter most is how YOU see yourself. I have just MADE time to workout, I get up at 5:30 and run and I do Insanity at 8pm after ds is in bed. I haven't lost weight but I am much more toned and getting happier with my body. And my whole outlook has improved.
First I'd say don't weigh yourself, I stopped, I go by how I look and how I feel.
Second just watch what your eating, make healthy choices. I take green tea and cinammin supplements that speed up your metabolism.
And third find a little time to workout, or even just take a walk everyday.
Mommy to 3 beautiful girls

Niels Teunis and Gilbert Herdt, eds., Sexual Inequalities and Social Justice, Berkeley: University of California Press. 2007, 264 pages.
Reviewer: Andrew P. Lyons
Wilfrid Laurier University
This volume is the somewhat belated result of a session organized by Gilbert Herdt for the 2001 meetings of the American Anthropological Association. The contributors include sociologists, psychologists and gerontologists along with teachers in interdisciplinary fields such as human sexuality studies and ethnic studies. Only three of fifteen contributors are listed as anthropologists. However, some of the essays are ethnographically rich, particularly the contributions of Shuttieworth, Fields, Carrington and Soh.
In their introduction the editors argue that the academic study of sexual inequalities is somewhat belated compared with studies of other forms of social inequality such as class, race and ethnicity. The pioneers in this field were activists rather than academics, and included such exemplars as the leaders of the women's health movements of the 1970s. There is a rather tiresome gibe (p. 14) about the disembodied, romantic and incomprehensible writings of postmodernists and queer theorists in the 1980s and 1990s. Clearer, more partisan studies are preferred. Teunis and Herdt believe that the AIDS epidemic provided activist academics with the moral stimulus they needed to partake in the creation of scholarship about sexual inequalities. They note that practices of systemic structural violence are involved in the production of different kinds of inequality which often intersect to produce complex forms of oppression. Thus in this collection, Sonya Grant Arreola and Rafael Diaz describe gay Latinos in Los Angeles who are at one and the same time oppressed because they are gay members of a heterosexist culture, because they are poor, because some of them have histories as victims of sexual abuse and because they are immigrants in the U.S. Inasmuch as Teunis and Herdt feel that the engaged participant rather than the distanced observer is often better placed to understand both systemic oppression and the actors who resist it, positivist research models are rejected in favour of advocacy for positionality.
The problems posed by positionality are not interrogated by the editors but they are intelligently considered by some of the contributors. Jessica Fields who investigated sex education in North Carolina middle schools decided to mask her lesbian identity so that she could interact with conservative parents, teachers and homophobic students. Doubtless, her identity informed her cogent critique of educational practices. Russell Shuttieworth is not himself disabled, but lived near a disabled cousin when he was growing up and therefore understood the forms of discrimination the disabled face. When one of his disabled friends asked for his company on a visit to a strip club where the researcher would have to negotiate with a sex worker on "Josh's" behalf, Shuttleworth agreed despite his qualms. Christopher Carrington was/is a participant in the subculture of the gay dance "Circuit" (events that take place in many Western countries throughout the year), and draws on a quarter-century of experience to explain the hedonistic, liminal abandon of three-day parties which involve uninhibited dancing, muscular sexuality and consumption of a plethora of psychotropic drugs, while also raising substantial funds for gay charities. Carrington's functionalist conclusions would not be startling to most anthropologists, namely that the Circuit is a response to pervasive homophobia, prudery and the climate of fear caused by AIDS. However, they contradict the opinions of some AIDS activists and conservative gays such as Andrew Sullivan who view the Circuit as reprehensible, irresponsible and defying all logic. One could say that the partygoers on the circuit follow a cultural script which resists the "rationality" of health workers and many other gay activists. …

Second replacement got me a Samsung. Now I'm happy again
eosman Apr 13, 2013 12:08 PM
in response to CT
I have been following this thread for quite sometime. I finally got my screen replace with a Samsung one by an Apple reseller and not through the Apple store. I live on Vancouver Island and I brought my Macbook to two different places those being London Drugs in Campbell River which didn't help me and Mac Boutique in Nanaimo which is out of business now. Both places did their behind the scenes diagnosis and said everything was fine and told me to go to an Apple store.
I went down to Victoria BC and stopped off at a place called SOHO computers and spoke with an Apple tech named Simon. Simon also owns a Retina Macbook Pro and had the same problem so he knew what I was talking about. He replaced my screen and showed me via running terminal I had a Samsung display. I would highly recommend anyone on Vancouver Island to check SOHO computers on Douglas street!!

I'm on my 4th MacBook Pro Retina. The first one i got was Samsung display and was perfect, but it was only 2.3 with 8GB Ram and 256GB HD so i decided to upgrage to the 2.6 with 16GB RAM and 512GB... what a mistake, every laptop i've gotten since has been plagued to varying degrees by ghosting, the second one was actually worse where ghosting showed up at just 40Sec of being on screen. The one I have now is somewhat okay but seems to be getting worse, started off at almost 8min before it showed sign's of ghosting but now it'll do even at 3-4min of having something stay on the screen. Needless to say this one is going back for one last try at getting a properly working machine after which i may either just give up on apple refurbs and buy a new machine or just scrap the retina all together for now and just get a cheepo macbook air....
oddly enough i checked about 5-6 Macbook Pro Retina's in the apple store and they were ALL samsung. I feel like i'm being cheated where they are showing us one product and then handing another one to us in a box.

I'm about to be in the same boat. I have a refurb 2.3/8gb/256 and the screen is perfect (Samsung) and I saw a refurb 2.6/16gb/512 was available so I pulled the trigger. It comes tomorrow. I'm planning to compare the screens and hopefully keep the 2.6. If it has issues ill keep the 2.3. Was your 2.6 refurb with problems a Samsung?
kashman69 Apr 14, 2013 7:00 PM
in response to kevbones
No so far the 3 2.6's have all been LG first gen screens. None had a Samsung. They all had ghosting problems, first thing i would do is check to see if its LG or Samsung. If its LG then do the burn-in test and see how bad it is, I was planning on keeping this 2.6 LG screen when i first go it cause it wouldn't show signs of burnin till 8min or so which was more then i would every actually keep up a single screen, but with just 1 weeks of medium use (6-8hrs a day) the screen burn is now happening at 4-5min, which scares me at the fact that this screen could also get as bad as the 45sec burn in i had earlier.
kevbones Apr 14, 2013 7:04 PM
in response to kashman69
Dang. Well I'm not too hopeful then. If I strike gold tomorrow with a 2.6 Samsung ill let you know. Otherwise it's going back and ill keep my 2.3. I think the battery isn't lasting like it should on my 2.3 though. I'm getting like 3 hours.
Are the gen2 LG screens supposed to be problem free now?

i think the crappy screen problem is only plaguing the mid 2012 models, i haven't read about anyone now with the early 2013's getting stuck with the first generation LG screen.

Well I got my second mbp 15 today. my first is a refurb samsung 2.3/8/256 and no problems. the new one is a refurb 2.6/16/512 has an LG SJA1, and i just ran the 10 min retention test at http://www.mitchmalone.name/retina-test/ and it did not show any retention.
I would prefer to keep the more powerful 2.6, but i don't want to have problems with the screen later. The closest apple store is 2 hours away. Which would you keep? The 2.3 Samsung or the 2.6 LG?
Dan Leifker Apr 15, 2013 1:44 PM
in response to mittense
I went to the Apple store this morning and asked about any recent news around MBP Retina screen problems. The first guy I talked to said this was no longer an issue and that Apple resolved the problem by using screens from only one supplier. He didn't know who that supplier was, but he was very helpful and went out of his way to hunt down another guy on the floor with a deeper knowledge of the issue. The 2nd guy said the same thing: no more screen problems and Apple is using a "single supplier" that neither guy claimed to know by name.
I didn't mention the Ripley thing.
So I bought a MPR 15" with Retina. I got home and checked, and the screen appears to be a Samsung, if I am reading the output of that command correctly. This is by far the most splendid and spectacular laptop I have ever owned. I was nervous that Xcode development would be painful on a laptop, but it's perfectly fine.
On another note, Best Buy was offering the same model for $120 less. I mentioned this to the 2nd guy at the Apple store and he said they would match the price. No hassle, no lengthy negotiation, he just went to the Best Buy web site to confirm the price difference and then he took $120 off the total without so much as batting an eye. He also said it was better to get AppleCare when I buy the laptop because if I got it later I would have to pay state sales tax. If I bought it with the laptop, it was treated differently (in my state) and avoided sales tax.
All in all, a truly superior laptop (so far) and a very pleasant buying experience. The only nuisance was that I had to to bring my own bag. (Merchants in San Francisco are prohibited by law from giving out free shopping bags, $500 fine if they are caught.)
kashman69 Apr 15, 2013 3:15 PM

I'm in the same boat, just recieved the replacement MacBook Retina and same thing. LG first generation screen, and its ghosting at just 4min. I think i'm just going to return the retina's for now and just wait it out till the next generation comes out in July (only 2-3mo). I would go with the 2.3 but I really need the 512 since i dual boot my mac and 256 just isn't enough to keep anything on your laptop if you do that. for the price difference (1779 vs 2289) i would much rather get the 2.6/16/512 for what i need. I do some hobby DSLR photo work and home video conversions so the RAM and processor are very helpfull with that.
Its really up to you. If you don't need the extra 8GB Ram and the 256GB HD than i woould just stick with the 2.3. My other option is to use the old one and drop the new one off at Apple in an attempt that they will replace the screen only with a Samsung one and then just keep that. But i hate the thought of having to have a "new" machine repaired on so early in its life, bound to run into some problems later on. I don't quite know what to do anymore, i'm tired of running through replacements in an attempt to get a refurb that doesn't ghost under 5min or doesn't get worse with time.

@ Dan Leifker
I'm glad to hear you had such a positive experience. Bizarre to get the "they're using a single supplier" response from the genius boys. There doesn't seem to be a unified Apple statement to the screen nightmare, with some saying "what screen problem" to "yeah, both venders have the IR which is normal for IPS screens."
Anyway, you referenced "the Ripley thing." What exactly is that? Someone's online screen test? I only know the film The Talented Mr. Ripley or Sigourney Weaver's character Ripley in the Alien movies.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks: RGP, ARR, IAG, TCK, EXC
ARMOUR Residential REITDividend Yield: 18.50% ARMOUR Residential REIT (NYSE: ARR) shares currently have a dividend yield of 18.50%. ARMOUR Residential REIT, Inc. is a real estate investment trust launched and managed by ARMOUR Residential Management LLC. It invests in the real estate markets of the United States. The company has a P/E ratio of 5.76. The average volume for ARMOUR Residential REIT has been 7,626,700 shares per day over the past 30 days. ARMOUR Residential REIT has a market cap of $1.7 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are down 33.7% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates ARMOUR Residential REIT as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels and expanding profit margins. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself and feeble growth in the company's earnings per share. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- ARR's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 12.1%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 115.9%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Current return on equity exceeded its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of strength within the company. Compared to other companies in the Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL REIT INC has outperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500.
- ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL REIT INC's earnings per share declined by 39.6% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, ARMOUR RESIDENTIAL REIT INC increased its bottom line by earning $0.97 versus $0.02 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 14.4% in earnings ($0.83 versus $0.97).
- Despite any intermediate fluctuations, we have only bad news to report on this stock's performance over the last year: it has tumbled by 34.83%, worse than the S&P 500's performance. Consistent with the plunge in the stock price, the company's earnings per share are down 39.58% compared to the year-earlier quarter. Naturally, the overall market trend is bound to be a significant factor. However, in one sense, the stock's sharp decline last year is a positive for future investors, making it cheaper (in proportion to its earnings over the past year) than most other stocks in its industry. But due to other concerns, we feel the stock is still not a good buy right now.

|COVALX AG Patent applications
|Patent application number
|DETECTOR DEVICE FOR HIGH MASS ION DETECTION, A METHOD FOR ANALYZING IONS OF HIGH MASS AND A DEVICE FOR SELECTION BETWEEN ION DETECTORS - Described here is a detector for measuring heavy mass ions with high sensitivity and low saturation for time-of-flight mass spectrometry and a detector housing for selecting between multiple detectors. It relates to sensitive measuring methods of large masses in the range of about ten thousand to a few million atomic mass units. Specifically it relates to a conversion dynode in a specifically insolated geometry followed by a discrete dynode secondary electron multiplier specifically modified to decrease electron saturation and electronic ringing. Conversion dynode detectors have been used before for time-of-flight mass spectrometry and compared to direct detection with electron multipliers they exhibit superior sensitivity for high-mass, slow-moving macromolecular ions. Using a conversion dynode specifically insolated to a common ground plane has the added capabilities of allowing an increased voltage to be applied to the conversion dynode while maintaining a minimum distance between the conversion dynode and the front of the electron multiplier. This creates faster ion flight time for the secondary ions produced within the detector allowing for higher time resolution and sensitivity from the detector. Also, by adding capacitance as charge buffers to the last few electrodes of a discrete dynode electron multiplier used as a secondary electron multiplier, saturation can be greatly reduced or avoided, which is often a major problem when measuring samples with ions covering a broad mass range. The detector housing described allows multiple detectors to be selected without breaking the vacuum. By keeping all moving mechanical parts inside the vacuum, a more simple, robust and cost effective design can be realized which provides a platform for measuring ions using different detector designs.

We've been taking riding lessons for a couple of years at a local ranch. We started off on dead broke horses, not seeing as much progress as we would have liked to. I'm convinced that we get "moved up" as our abilities improve, but they won't come right out & admit to it. I "moved up" a lot faster than my wife did, and it was a little discouraging for her. We "finally" got moved up to "more interesting" horses. My wife was paired with a horse that had some issues, which she worked on admirably and made a LOT of progress with. She was *really* getting into that horse and enjoyed riding/teaching/learning with her. The lease on that horse expired and unexpectedly, was taken back by it's owner. It was just *gone* one day when we went to ride. She was put off badly, didn't even get to say goodbye :( She started on another "horse with some issues" and has been making progress but the "connection" just wasn't there with this animal. She sucked it up & took it in stride, expressing that she'd rather be "working on something" than just riding a pack mule around.
We went up to the ranch last night and they had another new horse (who they got because it's owner said it was crazy). They knew the horse wasn't "crazy", just mismatched- or they wouldn't have taken it. The horse was kinda nervous, hasn't settled into it's new home yet but my wife was asked if she'd like to try him. She didn't hesitate. She saddled him up and went for a solo in the arena. Once she was mounted, we backed waaay off & let her have her space. She rode for about 1/2 hour, until it was getting dark.
Now let me tell you, this woman, who didn't think she had a lot of confidence, got on that horse and PUT. HIM. THROUGH. HIS. PACES.! He tried a few "little tricks", she corrected him & just kept right on going like nothing happened. From a distance of about 100 feet, she looked like a very confident, knowledgeable trainer. She moved him all over the place on leg pressure alone, side passed him, half passed him, backed him, disengaged his for end & hindquarters, changed gaits using *only* her seat and no telling what else that was indiscernible at distance.
While we were sitting back in the shade watching, I couldn't count the number of times our teacher said "O.M.G., I didn't know that he/she knew how to do that". After she put him up & came back to the peanut gallery our teacher's only comment was "Looks like you just stole another horse from me" (with a big grin on her face).
Things are looking a lot brighter on the horizon

Walking around Mendoza, you'll soon realise it's unlike other South American cities (if you've been to any prior to visiting this one). Other cities on the continent are known for their hecticness and fast pace. But one city that hasn't really adopted this way of life is Mendoza in western Argentina.
The first thing I noticed about Mendoza when I was visited was that all the streets were tree-lined. Each and every one was as lush as the other. While this wasn't completely different to the city I arrived from, Santiago, it was a change from the streets of Cusco and Lima in Peru.
Mendoza wasn't on my initial itinerary for Argentina but I'm glad I visited. It's a beautiful city and its slower pace was a breath of fresh air. Try to visit it if you're going to Argentina. If you're looking for some inspiration, listen to our podcast, watch our video and more here.

Bills' Ko Simpson To Cops: "I Am Worth Millions!"
If you had Ko Simpson in your "first NFL player to get arrested in the new year" pool, you're a big winner today. The Bills safety even played the "do you know who I am?" card to police before being arrested in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It didn't work, mostly because identifying yourself as a Bill isn't exactly going to work in your favor these days.
Simpson says he was just checking on his friend, Frederick Hart, who was detained by security at a local bar when he sped through the parking lot while a fracas of some sort was occurring in the wee hours of New Year's morning. Sounds like Rock Hill knows how to party.
The most hilarious part of the story comes from what Simpson was allegedly shouting repeatedly to officers in the parking lot.

This is a lovely, satisfying soup, especially in cold weather, but you should make sure you have it before the spicy stuff starts coming, or it could seem lost and pale.
And the spicy stuff is spicy, although the heat is well-controlled, like a 104 mph fastball that shaves the outside corner at the knees. Henry's special seafood dish ($10.50), a mélange of scallops, shrimp, and chunked chicken breast tossed with carrot coins and tabs of water chestnut, takes its charge from red chili garlic paste, whose distinctive flavor tends to be a little dominant. If you like that flavor, you'll like it here.
More subtle is spicy curry show main ($7.50), which can be had with chicken, pork, beef, or vegetables. I am wary of curry dishes in Chinese restaurants; too often they taste of canned curry powder, which too often tastes mostly of can a metallic harshness that overwhelms neighboring flavors, as a huge ugly building can cut off the sun to buildings around it. But Henry's curry seasoning, though almost certainly a powder (to judge by the yellow tint it imparts to the noodles: a sign of turmeric), has an attractively rounded flavor that accepts the presence of other ingredients (meat, slivered scallions, julienne red bell pepper) and doesn't stomp on them.
The dish (like Henry's seafood special) is marked on the menu with a chili pepper a sign of either welcome or warning, depending on your views about heat but the kitchen will dial down the chili charge on request. Your server will ask you how hot you like it, along a range from mild to tankard-banging.

Good morning, gay Iowa!
Io-wha??? In a turn of events strange enough to cause me to spit out my chocolate croissant in disbelief this morning, same-sex marriage is now legal in Iowa.
Well, actually, it turns out that it was officially legal for only two hours -- from 9am-11am. A judge in Polk County struck down Iowa's 1998 Defense of Marriage Act -- otherwise known as "Io-we hate gays" -- this morning, saying it violated the constitutional rights of due process and equal protection of six gay couples involved in the case, but then put the ruling on hold two hours later.
Still, a few couples got their legal license applications in on time and tied the knot. And it's awfully hard to undo such things legally once they're accomplished in such a way. (Our Winter of Love couples' weddings were more easily declared invalid because they hadn't participated in a legal case beforehand).
Gayer than we thought
"This is it. We're married. I love you," said Sean Fritz to Tim McQuillan, according to the AP, after they got hitched -- one of the lucky couple to have applied in time (and skillfully worked their way around the typical three-day waiting period.)
Who knows what's gonna happen -- but I can't stop singing "Iowa Stubborn" from Corn State-based musical The Music Man in my head: "You really ought to give Iowa a try....."

Shared Custody
Parental separation or divorce
Separation and divorce happens a lot in our society, and can be a major source of stress for everyone involved - especially parents and children.[1]
After parents separate, children's needs remain the same - they need secure emotional ties with parents they can trust and be comforted by. This includes:
- helping to solve their problems
- encouraging and supporting them to learn
- routines that help them feel in control
- firm and loving boundaries to be safely independent
- having a parent they can trust when in need
- protection from trauma[2]
After parents separate, they need to find a new way of parenting that works for them and their children. Some divorced/separated couples continue to share parenting, while others choose to continue their roles as parents separately. This decision often depends on levels of conflict involved, and other factors such as distance, work commitments, financial pressures, and the family's history.[3]
Living arrangements for children after parental separation
When parents make the decision to separate or divorce, they need to decide where their children will live, and how much time they will spend with each parent.
Deciding on these living arrangements can be complex and stressful, especially if parents have strong and different views about parenting, and/or unresolved conflict.[4] Sometimes it can be helpful to get objective parties involved in the process, such as:
- lawyers and the court system[5]
- mediation undertaken at Family Relationship Centres.[6][7] Mediators are mandated to create a parenting plan that meets the "best interest of the child /children" standard[5]
Sharing custody of children
There is a range of living arrangement options for children after their parents' separate. One of these options is shared parenting, or shared care, where each parent spends a considerable amount of time caring for their children.[8]
Shared parenting is sometimes considered the best option for children of separated parents, as it demonstrates to the child that both parents want to care for them and be involved in their everyday life. Parenting is often considered 'shared' when children spend at least 45% of their time with a parent.[6]
What are the benefits of shared custody?
Shared custody arrangements can benefit both children and parents. For example:[8][11]
- Children get to have a close and meaningful relationships with both parents
- Children get to spend quality time with both parents
- Both parents have the opportunity to know the children deeply and to be involved in their life as well as fulfilling their roles as parents and their obligations towards their children
When is it not appropriate to consider a shared custody arrangement?
It is important that shared custody arrangements occur in a positive and healthy environment. Ideally, parents are able to work constructively together, and protect their children from being exposed to hostile or negative behaviour. Shared care arrangements are not appropriate in a negative or conflicting atmosphere that may adversely impact children[9], such as where:
- there is high levels of inter-parental conflict[9]
- there is ongoing and significant psychological bitterness between parents[9]
- one or both parents see the child as being at risk when in the care of the other
- a history of family and domestic violence is apparent[9][12]
- a history of child abuse or neglect is apparent[9][12]
- parents have mental health issues[10]
- parents misuse alcohol or other drugs[10]
- parents are involved in criminal activity[10]
These factors can result in a number of negative outcomes for a child including:[11]
- adjustment problems
- impulsive or aggressive behaviour
- peer relationship difficulties
- behavioural problems
- poor academic performance
- poor self-esteem
- emotional difficulties
What factors should be considered in decisions about shared custody arrangements?
A shared parenting decision needs to be made with both the best interest of the children and the parents in mind. It is important to consider children's safety, needs, rights, interests and their expressed wishes and views. However, their safety must be given the highest priority.[12] Other family circumstances that need to be considered include the child's:[5][12][13]
- age
- gender
- stages of development
- cultural background
- primary attachment needs
- relationship with each parent
- best interest
- views and wishes
As well as:
- the level of parental conflict
- parental competence
- the level of commitment shown by each parent to the care and nurturing of their child
- where each parent lives and how practical it is to share custody
- the quality of communication between parents
- the willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the child and the other parent
- whether parents will make time available for parenting
- the child's safety
Considering these factors can help families make informed decisions that are positive for their children, and hopefully allow both parents opportunities for involvement in their child's life.[5]
Tips for parents - sharing custody positively
The most positive shared care experiences involve parents who have a cooperative relationship and are child-focused and flexible. These parents make an effort to maintain good communication with each other and to avoid exposing their children to parental conflict.[6] Below are some tips on how to create a positive shared custody experience for your child.
Tell your child/young person what's going on - separation can be a difficult time for children and young people, and telling them what is happening in an age-appropriate way will help them avoid becoming confused and concerned. Explain to them why you have decided to stop living together and what is going to happen in a way that is respectful towards both your child and your ex-partner.
Show them that you still love and care for them - children and young people may confuse the breakdown of a relationship with them as meaning that the separating parent may no longer love or care for them any more. Regardless of their age or developmental stage, children and young people need to know that their parents will still care for and love them. Emphasise that your love for them has not changed even though everyone is not living in the same house, and it's not their fault or responsibility.
Listen to your child - be mindful of your child's needs and wishes (personal, emotional and developmental) when you and your partner make decisions about parenting after separation. Where appropriate, focus on your child and include them in the process as much as possible, so their wishes and views can be incorporated into any new living arrangements.
Support your child - relationship breakdowns and new living arrangements are never easy for anyone, especially children. Support your child through the transition - be warm, responsive, nurturing and loving and show your support to the best of your ability.
Be stable, consistent and predictable in your care giving - children need certainty and routines so they can feel in control of their world, which makes them feel safe and secure.
Be responsive - be flexible with schedules and about issues that may emerge due to the new living arrangements. Try to support your child to continue their daily lives with as few interruptions and stresses as possible.
Separate parenting issues from relationship issues - divorce and relationship breakdown issues don't have to become entwined with parenting.
Work together with the other parent - working together with your ex-partner, having good communication and respecting each other as parents will enable you to maintain shared care arrangements and will help your child to adjust.
Avoid conflict and resolve issues with your ex-partner - sharing the care of your child while maintaining high levels of conflict with the other parent can cause your child to feel distressed and can negatively effect their adjustment to the separation and their emotional well-being. Avoid 'using' your child to communicate with the other parent or putting them in the middle of disputes. Resolve your issues as parents by yourselves without exposing your child to them.
Create a space for children/young people - if your child/young person is going to be spending time at two homes as part of your shared parenting agreement, make sure they have their own space at each home so they feel like they are at home in both places.
Encourage your child to talk to someone they trust - adjusting to changes in a family's relationship structure and new living arrangements are not easy and takes time. It's not good for your child to bottle up what they are going through. Talking to someone they can trust will help them to cope with the new situation. A friend or relative not involved in the situation, or a school counsellor could be good people to talk to about what's happening.
Seek counselling if required - this may be family counselling or individual counselling for yourself, or your child/young person. Counselling could be either face to face or through services such as Kids Helpline (for children/young people) or a parent counselling service (for you and/or your ex-partner).
Who can I contact for more information?

Posts Tagged 'Barry McGee'
Street art legend turned gallery artist Barry McGee (aka: Twist) debuted a great show of new work this month at The Modern in Ft Worth, Texas, called "Focus." Supertouch readers are most likely well-versed in the artistic ways of Barry, so we'll set aside the artspeak here, but suffice it to say, the paintings & sculpture on display are all solid examples of his trademark visual style. Read More
Supertouch buddy AARON ROSE opened the doors to a little show he curated at the venerable CIRCLECULTURE GALLERY in Berlin this past Saturday, titled simply "McGee, Templeton, Pettibon." Bringing "Zee Germans" a healthy dose of American street culture, the show aptly surveyed the recent work of all three of these iconic artists (all of whom also took part in Rose's previous "Beautiful Losers" exhibitions), and included photographs and paintings by Barry McGee and Ed Templeton and a nice display of recent ink drawings by elder statesman Raymond Pettibon alongside a large array of neatly framed examples of his ultra-seminal Black Flag photocopied gig flyers (whose ever-elusive matching original artworks remain the ultimate holy grail for Pettibon collectors). HAVE A LOOK: Read More
Here at Supertouch we get sent a LOT of reader photos of art tattoos, but this week's BARRY McGEE half sleeve takes the cake. And since we're talking about Mr. TWIST, let's have a look at the rare walk-through the reclusive artist filmed in conjunction with his recent show under the pseudonym "Lydia Fong" at cutting edge San Francisco gallery RATIO 3:
In what can easily be described as the most unexpected artist product collab of the year, the elusive SF-based artist ROBERT PIMPLE (aka: BARRY McGEE) has teamed with OAKLEY—official eyewear provider to Dog the Bounty Hunter—to create a signature pair of shades reflecting his own unique fashion sense. Featuring wraparound styling and polarized lenses for maximum protection on Mr. Pimple's lengthy fixed-gear runs through the streets of San Francisco, the extremely limited-edition eyewear comes in custom R. Pimple designed packaging and are also officially certified beer goggles. HAVE A LOOK: Read More
Street art legend and notorious shapeshifter BARRY McGEE (aka: Ray Fong) surprised San Francisco art fanatics last Friday nite when an unexpected show of his work appeared at RATIO 3 gallery credited to the artist "LYDIA FONG" (his dress-wearing alter ego). For the most part an assemblage of pieces from several recent smaller shows, "A Moment for Reflection: New Work by Lydia Fong" is an amazingly comprehensive survey of all of Barry's recent stylistic modes with a few new geometric and abstract twists thrown in for good measure (and even an installation of drawings by his gearhead father). HAVE A LOOK: Read More
The above two pieces of artwork by CLARE ROJAS (left) and BARRY McGEE (right) were recently stolen from the RVCA x CINELLI "Pressure" art exhibition at RVCA's San Francisco shop at the corner of Haight & Asbury. Both pieces are from private collections and RVCA asks that anyone with any information about their whereabouts please contact shop staff at 415 701 7822. There will be no questions asked of anyone phoning in with information and if the person in possession of the works wishes to return them, no legal action will be taken against anyone. They just want the art back. Anonymous tips can also be emailed to Supertouch staff at firstname.lastname@example.com. DO THE RIGHT THING…
The corner of Haight & Asbury was ground zero for San Francisco's track bike & messenger culture when RVCA opened their "Pressure" exhibition of collaborative art bikes with esteemed Italian cycle maker CINELLI. On board to customize the premium two-wheelers was an all-star lineup of artists including BARRY MCGEE, ASHLEY MACOMBER, CLARE ROJAS, C.R. STECYK III, DAN MURPHY, DMOTE, JESSE GELLER, JOSH LAZCANO, KAWS, MADSAKI, PHIL FROST, PM TENORE AND STEPHEN POWERS who added their unique touch to an array of new and vintage Cinelli frames and components. While many of the bikes remained rideable works of art, some artists like KAWS, Clare Rojas, Josh Lazcano, and Ashley Macomber transformed their cycles into nonfunctional (or in the case of Lazcano, hyperfunctional) sculptural pieces. With artwork prices escaping the reach of most lowly city peddlers, RVCA created a limited edition series of T-shirts by all artists in the show and debuted some pieces from the new Barry McGee apparel and accessory collection set to drop this fall. Also up for grabs was the eagerly anticipated special Barry McGee production art bike. Available as an edition of 50 pieces worldwide in three frame sizes (54, 56 or 58), the cycle is available as 25 complete bikes and 25 frame-only kits with pricetags of $3,700.00 and $2,100.00 respectively. The run will be available for sale only through RVCA and LANCE ARMSTRONG's MELLOW JOHNNY'S bike shop in Austin, Texas where the art show will make a stop in late September. HAVE A LOOK: Read More
Cycling fanatics are no doubt counting the days until the opening of RVCA's collaborative art show with renowned Italian cycle company CINELLI and an impressive lineup of modern artists including Barry McGee, Ashley Macomber, Clare Rojas, C.R. Stecyk III, Dan Murphy, DMOTE, Jesse Geller, Josh Lazcano, KAWS, Madsaki, Phil Frost, PM Tenore and Stephen Powers on Thursday, June 19th at RVCA's flagship store in San Francisco and now we've got a look at the full run of BARRY McGEE's special production art bike to be sold at the event. Available as an edition of 50 pieces worldwide in three frame sizes (54, 56 or 58), the cycle will be available as 25 complete bikes and 25 frame-only kits with pricetags of $3,700.00 and $2,100.00 respectively. The run will be available for sale only through RVCA and LANCE ARMSTRONG's Mellow Johnny's bike shop in Austin, Texas where the art show will make a stop in late September.

One of Barry McGee's loyal legion of tree people at work…
"Are we alone in the Universe? Do aliens exist? Or are we, ourselves, the strangers in our own worlds?" These are the questions asked by curator Douglas Fogle who has organized "LIFE ON MARS," the 55th Carnegie International Exhibition at the CARNEGIE MUSEUM OF ART featuring visionary artists like David Shrigley, Wolfgang Tillmans, Mike Kelley, Cao Fei, and perennial Supertouch favorites BARRY McGEE and DOUG AITKEN, to name a few. While the show has been criticized by the art press for failing to look beyond some of the art world's most recognized young (and old) talents for the unknown visionaries that biennial exhibitions like this are supposed to champion, it's still a daunting show in culture-starved Pittsburgh, or any major metropolis, for that matter. Reflecting his graphic direction of the past few years, Barry McGee's installation might be one of the last looks at this particular mode of thought before the artist switches gears for his next round of shows in 2009, while Doug Aitken's "Migration" series of images projected onto various walls of the institution's façade proves to be one of the most visually stunning (especially after dark) elements of the show. HAVE A LOOK: Read More
Here's a first look at the production sample of BARRY McGEE's highly anticipated track bike collaboration with RVCA & Italian cycle makers CINELLI. Available as part of the company's upcoming collaborative "Pressure" art exhibition featuring an array of Cinelli bikes built and designed by such modern artists as Barry McGee, Ashley Macomber, Clare Rojas, C.R. Stecyk III, Dan Murphy, DMOTE, Jesse Geller, Josh Lazcano, KAWS, Madsaki, Phil Frost, RVCA founder PM Tenore and Stephen Powers, the show will debut at RVCA's flagship store in San Francisco on Thursday, June 19th and will be followed by a second September showing in Austin, Texas at cycling legend LANCE ARMSTRONG's new bike shop, MELLOW JOHNNY'S (so named for Armstrong's cycling nickname derived from the French term "maillot jaune," meaning yellow jersey), with more future tour dates to be announced. Limited to 50 pieces worldwide and available in three frame sizes (54, 56 or 58), the Barry McGee signature cycle will be available as 25 complete bikes and 25 frame-only kits with pricetags of $3,700.00 and $2,100.00 respectively, and will be available for sale only through RVCA and Mellow Johnny's.

Clever people can fool most sophisticated biometrics
The idea is this: Instead of logging on to your computer using a password that you can't remember and have to write on the back of an envelope, which you leave on Metro to be found by a spy, you put your finger on a little reader attached to your computer. It reads your fingerprint, compares it with your stored print and decides that you are really you.
The iris scanner does the same thing, but with your eyes. Irises have unique patterns. Presumably anyone with your eyes is you. A third approach is face recognition. Lots of money goes into buying these technologies. They're certainly a cute idea, should they work. The manufacturers tend to say they work. Do they?
The Fraunhofer Research Institute in Darmstadt, Germany, set out to see whether it could fool these systems.
Answer: Yes. Easily.
