Hey, Kids! Create your own puzzles online at PuzzleMaker.com.

i don't know what i would like to find here. i am 7 and i don't know when my daddys coming home and it makes me sad. why do grown ups make mistaks they know will cause them to hafe to leave us

i am a mother of 4 children. their ages are 15,10,4&3 yrs. old. two boys and two girls. they all love their daddy very much! especially our 4 yr. old boy which his name is jaime . i know that may be a little younger than the seven yr. old that wonders why grown ups have to make mistakes that they know that could cause them to have to leave us but he often wonders the same thing. i try to assure them that everything is going to be ok and that i believe everything happens for a reason. things between thier dad and i were'nt the greatest before he had to leave us, but since he's been gone a lot of things have changed for the better between their dad and i. when their dad gets out i feel in my heart and soul that we will be and have a better life together as a family. i know it is very sad for all of my 4 children to have to go through this ,but dont you ever forget that no matter what ,your daddy loves you and are always in his heart. this is what keeps my children in better spirits as well as my self.

Parents make mistakes just as children do. The worste part is when they learn the hard way that since they are grown up, they can hurt the very people they always wanted to protect. My daughters 4 and my son is 6. I include "Daddy and I" in all my parenting plans and thoughts and repeat that to the kids all day. Their dad has been in prison for one year and has until April 2006. Whenever the kids and I get depressed we pray, we draw or write to him, and we also thank god that daddy and mommy continue to grow stronger and wiser with every day that passes, and have the strength and patience as we guide eachother to find ways to strengthen our bond and make sure that when we do come together, we will never have to let go again. To all the parents out there, keep including daddy's name in your everyday activities, discipline, guidance, and morals when talking to your kids. This shows them the bond in family is stronger than the walls that contain them, and that they are loved by two people who never lose sight of what is most important: Faith, Family,Love...eachother!!!!

Im doing a research paper on prisoners and there familys,alot of my friends are in prison but they dont have children that can really be affective by there daddys being gone. so if anyone could email me there feelings about how they feel it has affected them i would really appreshate it!!!!! And god bless u all and i hope ur daddys and husbands come home soon!

My Baby's Daddy has been incarcerated now for 3yrs and 21 days. The hardest part was waiting for trial, and then sentencing. He had lost 3 years just waiting for trial. Our son was 3yrs old when this all began, he is now 6yrs. His daddy has missed so much first day at "real" school, did not get to teach him how to ride his bike. Things have been hard, trying to write letters, talk on the phone (20 minute limit!) and then go for visits. You tend to run out of things to talk about. On the sentencing day though daddy and son were allowed to hug each other that was the first time for physical contact. And for being apart for so long our son was very, shy, he didnt know what to think. But now that he has a release date,(in 14mths) the hardest part yet is that he is shipped far away. I do not have a car or license so getting to visit is much harder. And the long distance phone calls having to cut back on calls. I didnt think I would have been so strongly affected after dealing with this for so long but I have like separation anxiety or something... dont know just real sad, cant stop thinking about him, and thinking about what it will be like when he is released. Our son has been more of a mama's boy, but I wont really know how much this affected him until after he gets out. Everything will change then again more adjusting to deal with. We wont even be able to live together right away, to deal with recovery back into society is slow get his own place for space, privacy and deal with no rules, no lock down, make his own meals when he wants etc. I hope we can pull through the next couple of years. It has been extremely difficult. Emotionally.

I hadnt seen my sons father in not quite two years, found out he was in jail but didnt know why for awhile, finally went to his area and found his brother and now know.......he messed himself up bad with a combo of drugs, shooting to kill and a bad motorcycle wreck. His bro asked me to write him so i did, court isnt until Dec. 5th. and all in all i am torn on what to do where my son is concerned. If his dad wants a visit, should i do it? The child is only 4. What if it is from behind glass?

I would normally be the last person who would even think about looking at this site i acutally found it by mistake. I read some of the postings and i am shocked. My husband went to prison for a crime against children and i divorced him before he could even say "busted". he was still in the county when it was final. He tried to get me to bing my child to the prison and i decided that my baby was better off with no daddy than a daddy who would do what he did. whether it was a crime against a child or another adult no child should half to be put through that torture. The prison system is not made for kids. even if your loved one did a minor crime other inmates in the room may not have. I have watched men lust after another inmates child. I removed him in a seconds notice and ended his visit with his wife. i have been on both sides of this as a wife of a convicted man and a correctional officer believe me please think long and hard about what you are doing. what kind of life do you want your child to have

I dont want to mess him up but stop and realize how many kids end up saying their life is screwed because my parents weren't married among all the other reasons. If i dont let him know his father, he'll blame me one day and if i do, he'll blame me.

I believe that every Father deserves the right to have a connection with their child regardless of what they do. Except of course if their is a safety issue. My husband had a son before we got married, and his sons mom will not bring him to see his dad.
He was a wonderful father, and what really makes it so bad is that he's innocent his son's mom set him up.

I have my two grandsons and thier daddy got 5 yrs. They where 4 and 7 when thier daddy went to perison and thier mommy died from meth. There lives where a mess but now they are on there way to recover. They will see thier daddy for the first time sence thier mommys death in two yrs but it's about what they need not what i think is right. Dont forget about your childs needs, they know what will make life easier for them, just ask them.....grandma1

To the woman who was talking about better off with no father at all. OPEN YOUR MIND AND CLOSE YOUR MOUTH. My grandchild loves her Papa Goege as she calls him and writes him when i do. I know people say that everyone that is in jail says they are not guilty. Well i know for a fact that my husband is not guilty of any crime except being a man of color in a redneck county where there was no way in Hades he was going to get a fair trial.
