Should talk to my dad? (F***ed up situation)?
I'm 16 yrs old. Last year we found out that my dad's been cheating on my mum for years. Now he's moved out, and visits me about 2 to 3 times a week. The thing is, my dad's 54 yrs old and is dating a 26 yrs old, so she's less than half my dads age (that's f***ed up). Apparently my dad got a vasectomy after I was born (I was apparently an accident, and I am the youngest of three siblings), but my mum told me that he said he might reverse the vasectomy.
I don't know how reliable my mum is though. She's been telling me that my dad's spent at least 1 million dollar (HK$) on this girl in a few years, and that now he might start a new family with her. But it just doesn't make sense, my dad's always been such an intelligent and reasonable man who's always been loving towards me, I find it hard to believe my mother. Her explanation is that 'love is like a drug'… capable of making any person lose their mind…
1. If my dad does have another baby, the baby's life will be f***ed, since his/her dad will be 75 yrs old by the time the baby turns 20.
2. I don't want my dad spending so much money on this other woman or a new baby before my education (including university) is finished. I don't care what he does after my education is done, but I don't want him abandoning me financially before I'm ready for that.
I've never had such serious talks with my dad before, so I'm not used to it (in fact I'm scared of it and would become very nervous doing it). My mum can't talk to him without becoming an emotional wreck, so he won't listen to her. I don't know if I should ask my dad about all this, and try to convince him to be rational. It'd kill any respect I have for my dad if he shows me that he really is as stupid as my mum says he's being.
But then again… my mum could just be worrying too much about what my dad's going to do, and could be exaggerating things. I still can't believe my dad's as bad as my mum says.
So what to do…. talk to dad?
Or…. trust that my dad still has financial plans for me .. or .. let my mum deal with this?
It's not fair to me to have to deal with this, and I don't want to deal with it.
One might wonder – is luxury bedding for adults only? Hardly – luxury bedding comes in all age groups and sizes. Including the crib and baby set. Yes, your baby can also have access to luxury crib bedding. Probably top-of-the-line examples of luxury crib bedding come from the good people at Kathy Ireland and Company. Complete sets are available in two collections from Nautica Bedding – the Hannah Bedding and the Jack Bedding collections. Both sets are available in the very reasonable price range of four hundred to three hundred dollars. Both sets are very cute, comfy, plush and luxurious. Even a baby will be able to appreciate these! The Jack luxury crib bedding set is very cute with its child’s eye patchwork and nautical theme of tugboats, sailboats and so on. The Jack set is definitely for boys. While the Hannah is definitely for girls – with its pink floral motif patchwork design. Did you notice that combining the two names is that of Jack Hanna – does he have something to do with these sets? Matching sheets, pillows and other accessories are available also.
A favorite name-brand large retailer of bedding products has a vast selection of crib and toddler luxury bedding compared to the above. They have literally hundreds of options and thousands of combinations available for you to select from. Continuing with the nautical theme (mentioned above) is the Ahoy Mate Bedding Collection. Except the nautical theme is somewhat expanded to include whales, monkeys, palm trees on islands and more! You might want to get this set if you want your baby to be interested in conservation oceanography. This is a six piece, reasonably priced imported set.
Or, if you want your little one to develop their reading skills early on, try the CoCaLo Baby Alphabet soup luxury crib bedding set. It comes in a multi-colored patchwork design with the letters of the alphabet and animals with their names. Giraffes, whales and other amazing and eye-catching animals are depicted with their names for the education and comfort of the baby. This vibrant, full-color set is splashy, educational, imported and easily affordable.

Tips To Finding The Perfect Baby Care Center
One of the hardest decisions that a new mother must make is which baby care center to use for her child when it is time for her to return to work. The good news is that you can do much to alleviate the stress of this decision for you and your baby by taking the time to do some research before selecting the best baby care center for you and your child. There are some guidelines and criteria that you can follow to ensure that the baby care center you choose will offer the best care to meet your child’s needs.
The first thing that you can look for is whether the day care is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). This is probably the highest accreditation that can be given to a day care, so if there is one that you are considering with this mark to its name you can rest assured that it is a quality center. However, there are only about 6000 such centers around the country, so it is possible that you will need to move to other types of criteria in selecting the right center for you.
Reputation
A good reputation is paramount in a baby care center that you should consider. You can find out what a center’s reputation is by talking to other moms and teachers in the area, or asking the center for references from its current client list. Some things to look for include the friendliness of the staff, and a nurturing environment for the children. It is also important that the baby care center has a good record when it comes to safety, so that you can rest assured that your little one will not come to harm while in the care of this staff.
Curriculum
Even while your child is very young, you want your baby care center to provide a stimulating environment that will allow your child to explore and learn. There should be a healthy combination of physical activity, quiet time with reading and free play opportunities. Time for meals and snacks should be a part of the schedule as well, and a safe outdoor play area is a good indication that your child will receive the benefits of fresh air and exercise. It is also good for a baby care center to offer time for group activities as well as individual time, such as nap time for the very young children.
Staff
Finally, you want yo
1000
ur baby care center to provide a gentle, nurturing staff for the children with the proper adult to child ratio. For babies, this means one caregiver for every three or four children, and for toddlers this number goes up to one caregiver for every three to five kids. Ratios are extremely important in ensuring that your child will get the quality of care and attention that he requires.
Finding a quality baby care center can be a stressful challenge for some new mothers. The good news is that there are plenty of good guidelines to follow to ensure that your child receives the highest quality of care possible.
