1 :
vaccinated all the way cuz i wasnt going to take the risk of my babies getting those illnesses. they are in perfect health
2 :
Both my children have recieved some vaccines, but not all that are currently recommended, and we don't go by the CDC schedule. They're both very healthy and active, sleep like logs, and haven't had anything more than an occasional cold or stomach bug.
3 :
My son is vaccinated and he is doing just fine. The shots that they get in the legs are painful for less than a day. I gave my son some pain drops and it didn't bother him at all. Its better to get them. He is bigger and longer than 90% of babies his age. He's happy and healthy and he already says mom. He is 3 months old.
4 :
yes my daughter is up to date with all her vaccinations. She is perfectly healthy with no diseases or issues with her physically or mentally. She eats well gains weight good and sleeps atleast 12 hours sometimes 13 a night! But i honestly think she would be that way even if she wasnt vaccinated
5 :
My daughter is very selectively vaccinated and aside from a bout of Roseola (which isn't exactly preventable/treatable anyway) over the summer she's never had a sniffle. She eats like a horse and sleeps 12-14 hours a day.
6 :
Vaccinated. I do not believe the hype behind all this don't vaccinate mess. Healthy. No developmental delays of any kind. Eats and sleeps like any normal kid his age. Never had to have any kind of antibiotics. Has only had a few colds. He was also breastfed. My kid is in 50th percentile for weight and 90th perceontile in height. __________________________________________ What's going to happen to all these unvaccinated kids when they try to go to school? I guess some elementary schools may be understanding, but colleges will not. All these poor kids are going to have to be getting all the vaccinations at once to get into college. Anyone ever thought of that?
7 :
my son is up to date on his vaccines, he is wonderful. he will be 4 months on the 14th, sleeps thru the night just fine. he is a good eater, rarely ever spits up. i was concerned about vaccinating, but in the long run i would rather my son be autistic ( i guess i just assumed this is most parents concern, it was mine) than die of an easily prevented disease.
8 :
My one year old has had all her vaccinations (Hep B at birth delayed until 1 month, but that's the only difference). She's never had so much as a cold. Never a fever, nothing. She also got both flu shots and swine flu shots. She sleeps 10-12 hour nights and is the easiest baby I've ever met (and not just because she's mine!). I'm not going to vaccinate her against chicken pox, but she's getting everything else, plus the HPV vaccine at 14.
9 :
my one son is partially vaccinated. we quit at 4 months when he had a mild reaction in his leg that resulted in a lump in his leg for many months. he is almost 4 and has only had mild colds here and there.he is very smart, tall for his age and loves to try new foods. my 19 month old son has never been vaccinated. he has only had a few mild colds too. he is easy going and sleeps wonderfully. so lucky in that dept. while they may catch some of those childhood diseases that we dont vax for, they wont be at risk for some of the long term side effects that vaxes can cause.
10 :
My first is partially vaccinated; I stopped letting her have shots once I researched them. She is 3 and very healthy, which I attribute to her breastfeeding for 2.5 years, sleeping well, and eating a nourishing diet. Plus I am not a germaphobe, which I know has helped her immune system develop well. I'd say she gets 12-13 hours of sleep each night. My second is totally unvaccinated. She is 2.5 months old and is almost double her birth weight LOL!
11 :
My story is pretty much the same as "irritated lactivist" except mine are both boys and the 2nd is 9 months. They are both BF'ed still and have had mild colds, never had a stomach bug and DS1 got 5th disease from a playgroup :( no vax for that anyway! May give ds 2 his 2, 4 and 6 month shots when DS1 goes to preschool next sept though... well, start them at least , we'll see. Need to do a bit more reading!
12 :
My children are unvaccinated. They are happy, healthy, and thriving. Beyond a few colds we have had no illnesses or issues. They eat well, sleep well. My youngest 2 are currently breastfeeding.
13 :
My daughter is partially vaccinated. We used a delayed schedule, and I have skipped a few shots for her. At this point, I do not intend to get her any more shots, and the new baby will only receive the Hib and Pc vaccinations (my daughter got most of the recommended shots). She has only ever had one or two minor colds in her whole life, maybe a total of 3 days sick in nearly 3 years. She was breastfed until 2.5, and we eat healthier than probably 90% of Americans. She is not in daycare, either, so I do not worry about her being exposed to huge amounts of germs. She does not sleep through the night, but I don't see what that has to do with her vaccination status??

My Aunt and Uncle decided not to Vaccinate there children. Personally, i think it was a stupid idea. The diseases are still out there, they are real and can still happen. My cousins always seem to be sick, just seem unwell quite often. There are no disadvantages to vaccinating your kids. I believe it to be un responsible.

What are some reasons why parent's are responsible for their child's health? Why

What are some reasons why parent's are responsible for their child's health? Why?
I need help, in my English class we're learning about childhood obesity. We learned that fast foods industries are not the only ones responsible for the increase of childhood obesity but also parents as well are responsible too. Why do you think they influence their child's health and sometimes contribute to their child's obesity problem if their child as it or not?

I think it is absurd to pin childhood obesity on the fast food chains. That would be like blaming alcoholism on the beer companies. The parents are totally responsible for their childrens eating habits. The children can only eat what they are served. I haven't seen many eight year olds drive thru McDonald's drive thru lately. The parents are supplying it. The parents are the ones who create the eating habits of their children. My kids won't eat every single vegetable or fuit that exists, but you find the ones they do like and you work it into a well balanced diet. It is rediculous, and should be considered abuse, that some parents are poisoning their children, and setting them up for a lifetime ( a short lifetime ) of health problems.
2 :
Parents are responsible for their kids' health because -- they're the parents! It's their job, not only morally but legally...what's so complicated about that?
3 :
Whats complicated is the fact a child can not walk down the street without having been influenced by fast food chains. Their giant signs and billboards. Their jingles etc. You can tell your kid NO. Thats the easy part. Especially if u are firm. But at the end of the day, you cant walk down the street. Turn on the TV without some form of brainwashing going on. Its not the parents fault. They need to restrict advertising and get those shite commercials off tv. Its like parents know their is a problem. But if the surrounding world is fighting against their cause for a healthy kid. How are they going to win?

5 :
Pot smokers would pay for it with an added tax, but the government is too cowardly to tax them.
6 :
Higher cigarette taxes have been shown to be the most effective way of discouraging teenagers from starting. The higher the taxes, the lower the teen smoking rate. I for one would be willing to pay a bit more to accomplish that.

Maybe get involved in a community fair, and pass out flyers that will give child health tips, or children's books to promote early childhood literacy. ( If you search your community, you can get lots of donations for the books)

Does court ordered health insurance include vision in a child support case

Does court ordered health insurance include vision in a child support case?
I am court ordered to pay child support and provide health insurance. It states I am responsible for one half of uncovered medical expenses. I have vision coverage but my ex took my daughter to get contacts and the provider was not covered under the insurance. Now she wants me to pay the bill for her contacts event though they would have been covered if she would have used and in-network provider. I have the insurance but she won't use it properlyAm I responsible for these bills? Am I required to pay for vision expenses if my court order does not specifically list vision and dental?

Just take your daughter to an in-network provider now and get her the contacts. This way your daughter gets contacts and you don't have to pay your ex. * If you want something done, you gotta do it yourself.
2 :
It's ur kid...why whine? You poor guy...I pay ALL of my child's expenses and like it...wut a concept!!
3 :
Contact the insurance company and check the plan to see exactl;y what is covered. If it is not covered then yes you are required to pay half. If it is covered, then take her yourself to the eye dotor. You may need to upgrade the health coverages plan.
4 :
The bigger question would be if you feel you are responsible for your child having these corrective lens. Not everything is about a court order....
5 :
If you know without a doubt she would have had her vision care covered, or at least part of it covered by your insurance, then no I would not pay it and if she tries to have it enforced you can show proof of the fact there was insurance available but she failed to use it. You should find out how much you would have had to pay the the insurance wouldn't with yours and pay half what would have been owed. It is not your fault she failed to use insurance that you have provided. It is her mistake which she needs to pay for. Not saying she did it on purpose, but there are parents who play these games. Maybe the make more money and can afford it but want to make things hard on the non-custodial parent knowing they can't afford it.
6 :
Vision is included in most medical plans, with at least one pair of glasses or contacts covered per year. If your court order says you must pay 1/2 of all uncovered expenses, then you don't need to pay for all of the contacts, do you?
7 :
I would pay half of what the insurance would not have covered and send her a copy of the insurance.
8 :
Listen... the courts have already removed what little control you had so what you do control take care of it. I cover all my daughter's medical insurances and her daycare and schooling (they grow so fast) expenses becaus
9 :
I think your wife is taking you for a ride.Even if the child needs help with her eyes, that does not mean it has to be Contact Lenses. There is such a thing as Eye Glasses. I believe she's entitled only to what your insurance covers, unless you as the father, want to pay out of pocket.
10 :
Yes, mandatory health insurance should include vision, health, and dental.
11 :
If the mother knew what the insurance coverage provided and deliberately went outside of your provider, then you should not be required to cover the expense. If she goes to court re vision coverage being covered under medical, the court may well give it to her unless your attorney makes a convincing case. However, under the provision that each parent be responsible for half of uncovered medical expenses, you could generously agree to pay half of the cost of the actual lenses but refuse to pay any part of the examination costs. Mothers pull this kind of stunt on a regular basis. Expect more of it.
12 :
either she's a moron or a complete bit^h you're screwed..........sorry......... see if you can get this through her thick skull
13 :
I bet you are responsible for half since most insurances do not cover vision and dental.
14 :
Tell her no because she went to an outside provider. If they try to bill you, tell them to send you the permission to treat card you signed, otherwise bill the person who signed it. To learn more, join Dads House in Yahoo Groups. http://dads-house.org/ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
15 :
You are only responsible for the portion that would have been uncovered had she used an in-network provider. If they would have been covered at 100%, you are not responsible for any of the cost. Unfortunately, if the insurance is in your name than the bill is in your name and if you don't pay it could affect your credit. I would pay the bill and contact the child support agency to ask that your ex reimburse you.
16 :
I get it, the question is whether or not you should have to pay an increased amount when you already pay for the coverage just because your ex is an idiot and won't do what SHE is supposed to do as far as using the insurance correctly. It is not always a question of morals but one of accountability on the custodial parents part. I don't think you should if it would have otherwise been covered. DO NOT pay the whole thing because regardless of whether or not it would have been covered under the insurance she is responsible for 1/2 of the medical expenses as well. If and when you guys in up in court again (and there is always a good chance of that, like the first time you get a raise perhaps) you need to make sure you do everything that you should. You could pay for half and make it clear to her that ion the future is she does not use the insurance that is paid for and available for the child then she is responsible for the bill. Document everything for future referance. Or do as we had to do and take her yourself so that you know it was handled properly...

bc ppl abused the system who didn't need it. govt. health care doesn't work. the thing we need to do is make healthcare affordable for all who seek it.
2 :
I don't know but Sarah Palin went to college for about a semester in Hawaii so does that fit into your logic is some way cause I am not usderstanding what Obama has to do with this. I will investigate & come back.
3 :
This is pure politics from a rep. Gov. The cost of the program was $25.50 per child per month. the total monthly cost app. $50,000. That a little more than half a million a year. To stop this program is cruel. She is only hurting children. Shame on you Governor
4 :
cause people who had health care for their kids were dropping it for the states free plan..and it would happen if we were to go to a national health care situation...its one of the pitfalls..people wont work if you give their money away..people wont pay for healthcare if others get it for free....why would anyone?

Huh?? Are you masturbating in front of your child? That would create mental health problems for your child, and probably legal problems-- are you asking if it in some way affects your sperm count? Nah.

You mean if you ever had a child? no, and youÂ´ll never run out of "swimmers" either.

NO. Unless you run out of sperm which is very unlikely.

no
6 :
TO MUCH MASTURBATION Thin semen low volume Premature ejaculation Loss of sexual pleasure Diet and too much masturbation are the 2 main causes of poor sperm quality lack of volume Hair Loss Due To Over Masturbation - Over masturbation or over ejaculation converts too much testosterone into dihydrotestosterone(DHT). High levels of DHT overload the body causing baldness and possible prostate enlargement.
7 :
not unless he's watching you do it. masturbation is a great way to enjoy yourself. just don't overdo it, you might hurt your sex drive, be more interested in yourself then others
8 :
Masturbation does affect the your child's health. Simple reason is, when you masturbate your count of white blood cells fall, this is when your resistence power and sperm quality falls. And of course sperm is the main cause to give you a child. Now think in reverse manner, From your masturbation white blood cells count is down, and so is your resistence power, and your sperm quality falls down too. Sperm from your body of low quality will give birth to a child, which definitely affect his health. Rather for such situation please ask your doctor, or any specialist consultant.
