How much money should a parent give their kid for a gr8 grad?

Just wondering cause my aunt is debating how much to give her son.How much money should a parent give their kid for a gr8 grad?
Maybe start a savings account, put in $100 and he/she can add to it in the future. Let it be an incentive to put away cash.How much money should a parent give their kid for a gr8 grad?
I got a new camera worth $70 and a new phone worth $80.





I didn't get money but most of my friends got like 200 or so total from their entire family.





I also got $50 from the school for getting an award.





Where i come from 8th grade graduation is a big deal because we are in a pre-k thru 8 school. Most of us had been there for 9-10 years and leaving was a very big deal. Kind of like them sending us off to grow up the rest of the way.
wow money for grade 8 grade??? lol they can't even fail you guys now a days, 1000? what a joke





you are lucky to be educated at all, some countries girls are not even allowed to go to school





I am sure they are forking out on cloths hair etc that should be enough
my parents paid for a huge party.


my grandma spent $500 on a name plate and matching earrings.


my uncle spent $150 on a camera and $70 sneakers


n everyone else gave me $50-$100 cash





my family made my graduation sorta a huge deal. so did my friends. my one friend got like $3000 from her whole family
I'm in seventh grade, but for my eighth grade graduation, my parents said they'll get me a laptop. =l But that's because I already use it a lot for homework, so High School's going to be more...





But honestly, you should get paid for having an education.
i got for grad of 8th garde a laptop, desk, songs of i-tunes, and a 25$ gift card to claires.


but thats a lot for 8th grade grad, so i think like 50$ is good


my friends got nothin though
None. Graduating from 8th grade means nothing. They should be thankful to have an education.





Graduating high school is a different story, but people don't deserve anything for graduating middle school.
i got a 20$ purse. i honestly dont think graduating 8th grades that big of a deal, as its easy to get by with out learning or doing anything.
That's basically bribery, he should be getting good grades anyway.
I didn't get anything for graduating 8th grade.
I got nothing for my gradutation.
well for my grad ... (grade 9 where i live) my parents gave me a diamond ring lol i was like :O:O:O:O but i dont think that could help you .... i dno like uh ... $200?
i got 100 dollars.





seriously i hardly remember my grade 8 grad. its not like highschool
I didn't get any :(
None. He's only at the beginning.
haven't got anything yet, mine's on tuesday =)
say WHAT!?!





I got zero, and I survived.
nothing. Why reward a child for something he should be doing?
i think that i got like 20 dollars.....its only 8th grade
lol 200


i got a ipod classic butttt thats just mee =]=]
i got a new ipod nano..so maybe about 200 dolalrs?
i would ask 4 a thousand

Can we do a step-parent adoption by ourselves in the state of Texas? How easy is it to do?

My husband and I just got married, and I have a daughter from a previous relationship. Was wondering if it is a relatively easy process to get a step parent adoption going without the help of an attorney? Does any one have some useful links or a step by step guide on how to handle it?Can we do a step-parent adoption by ourselves in the state of Texas? How easy is it to do?
Hey! I'm going through pretty much the same thing you are, only my childrens bio hasn't signed over his rights yet. I've been doing research on the internet for awhile now trying to get information. I found a couple links that might be useful to you. Like you, I'm new to this (my husband and I got married almost a year ago) so I hope this helps some. Good luck %26amp; congrads on the new family!!!

not sure about Texas, but some states require you to be married a year or two before step parent adoption (to make sure the marraige will work) Most all adoptions require a lawyer or agency and a court room. some states require an adoption homestudy even for step parent adoptions. (background check, references, interviews). To make sure he's not a child molester or abuser. The bio fathers rights have to be terminated. First, go to a lawyer to inqure the process.
Please give it a while don't pull your daughter into this until you are sure hes not going to change on you .. i know people who greatly regret having had their child adopted by their now ex- sometimes things are better left alone ....


And by no means do iut under diress or under threats ....


you would need to prove that the real father of this child has abandonded her had no contact for at least 1 year prior to taking it to court but this still is step i would not ever consider...





it could keep her clear of future procedings considering 1/2 of all American marriages end in divorce ...I magine the chlid having to split her time between you and him when hes of no blood relation ...

Is alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?

Like excessive. We're talking like multiple bottles of southern comfort a day. The parent hasn't been to work because of this. And in and out of rehab for it?





Like, let's say that there are arguments going on in the home without physical abuse.Is alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?
You bet especially if it jeopardizes the child's welfareIs alcohol addiction of a parent a reason for child services to intervene?
That definitely is a reason for child services to intervene, especially if the parent is neglecting the child. However, if the parent can reform him/herself, I think that would be much more in the child's interest than taking him away from the parents. Why should the child have to suffer because the parent is irresponsible? I think that the family should have an intervention and send that parent to rehab, where he can reform in a temptation-free, professionally-controlled environment. It would be terrible if the poor child had to be taken away from the parent and put through that if the parent had the capacity to reform.

What are the chances of a child sharing the same birthday as a parent?

My daughter has the same birthday as I. She came 2 weeks early. All natural, no C-section, no labor inducing drugs. Take into consideration menstrual cycle, day of conception and gestation time. I know that every child has 2 parents and the easy answer would be 1:183 but that is not the right answer. Put some thought and mathmatics into it.





Thanks for your time and efforts.What are the chances of a child sharing the same birthday as a parent?
i dont know. but my stepdad and his sister share the same birthday 4 years apart. they were even born in the same hour.What are the chances of a child sharing the same birthday as a parent?
I have a friend who has the same birthday as her mom and her oldest son.
1 in 365.
There are a lot of other factors, not just mathmatical, that come into play. A due date is merely an estimate, based upon the menstrual cycle, and doesn't clearly indicate that ovulation took place exactly 2 weeks past the first day of the last period. It can generally be 2 weeks before or after the due date and is considered a full term pregnancy. With all of the hormonal and physiological changes in both the mother and baby, really it's a wonder that there can even be a due date.
It actually is 1 in 365.





I have a feeling you're think of the ';birthday paradox';, which says if there are 23 people in a room, the chances are 50% that at least two of them share a birthday, and if 60 are in a room, there's a 99% probability that two people share a birthday.





But you're not talking about the birthday paradox. You're specifying the date (your birthday), AND the other person (your daughter).





The equation is thus: 1- {([365-1]/365) raised to the exponent of ';n';}, which is the number of other people to whom you are comparing birthdays. In this case, 1 (your daughter).





So, the equation becomes 1-{(364/365) raised to 1}


Which is, of course the same as 1-(364/365).


Easily change 1 to 365/365...subtract 364/365 from that...you get 1/365.





Does that help?
conception and gestation time are not exact science, they are more like educated guesses, so that really doesnt help.
1 in 365, leap year changes that but close enough.

How can I persuade my parent to let me go to the cinema with my friends?

My parent are really strict. They say it's no safe to go out and etc. All my friends are going out. It's very hard to persuade them.How can I persuade my parent to let me go to the cinema with my friends?
Same here but saying what your saying your age is probably 11-13 which is too young.With all the danger out there now.How about ask your parents to come with you but go in a different movie.Thats the only way its gonna work without waiting 5 years.How can I persuade my parent to let me go to the cinema with my friends?
Tell them you won't be alone, you'll keep a cell phone on you at all times (maybe you can even promise to call them a couple times, if you're willing to be really flexible), and that it's a safe neighborhood, safe theater, and going out into the world is something everyone has to do and you might as well start now when you're young.





I don't know how safe your neighborhood is and how close your friends are to you, but it would help if they were safe/close, especially if your parents realize it (even if they won't admit it).
