[quote]Why is a 16 month old child still nursing?
I mean it is not unusual but neither is it unusual for children 1/2 that age to begin weaning. [/quote]
Because it's the best choice for the baby. Did you know that the World Health organization recommends breastfeeding for a full 2 years (even in non third world countries) and for as long as both mother and child are comfortable?
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding for the first 12 months AND for as long as both mother and baby are comfortable continuing.
One of the former Surgeon Generals (C. Everett Koop) has stated that it is the lucky baby that gets breastfed to 2 years of age.
But you are right, most babies are weaned before 12 months of age. Doesn't mean that that is biologically normal (it's not) or that breastfeeding after 12 months is not good for the baby. The benefits of human milk don't disappear after 12 months of age.
And children half that age don't wean themselves.

Jada,
It isn't whether I agree with you or not.
I don't know enough to have a real opinion one way or the other which is my point - neither do you.
You just seem to have a bias to me is all.
Maybe you don't, but to me you seem to (mho). :)

It didn't take you long.
Jada is a product of DV, she repeated her parent's mistakes and stuck her kids with it and I suspect hates herself for it. (and men too of course)
I know it doesn't help, but I'm so sorry for you and your kids! I hope it gets easier to live with such injustice and lonliness.

I don't hate men. I don't even hate my ex. I feel sorry for him. And I feel sorry for you. Bitterness must be very hard to live with. It can be overcome when you decide you want to.
And, yes, to a degree I repeated my mother's mistake. But I got out a whole lot sooner than she did. And, fortunately, my kids will have help with having to go through witnessing assaults. And will have learned, by my leaving like I did, that DV is wrong.
Just like JWM's kids learned that domestic violence is not acceptable, when their mom called the cops on her stbx when he assaulted her.
Of course, JWM has stated that his stbx has hit him. Guess he stuck his kids with that, huh?

Later Jada.
You must be a miserable person.
I however do not need to hang around here as another target for your anger or participate in your madness.
You are to the largest degree responsible for where you are at - just as I am too for where I am at.
Some people move on
- others relive the past without ever even realizing they have a future.

Miserable? No.
And, yes, you are right. I am largely responsible for where I am today.
Where am I today? I am a college educated person who is working full-time with two wonderful children.
And a bright future.
That's not a bad place to be.
And in case you haven't figured it out, I have moved on.

Thank you all for your feedback.
There was an issue that perhaps there was more to the story than I am letting on. There has to be more because the judges ruling doesn't make any sense otherwise. The way I see it the only other factors are;
1. i was vague and misleading about where I was living at the time of our first hearing. I had arranged accommodations but was waiting to see if I got custody before I paid the FLS. I now have a nice home but when this all started, she took all the money and I was broke.
2.I am pro se and she has the most expensive atty in town
3.The judge is also a young mother
4.I live in a county where fathers have been heavily prejudiced against. In my divorce here 26 years ago, it took six years and 14 judges before I won equal access for my other 3 sons. It became a famous case because so many judges disqualified themselves for prejudice
5.The wife has made many bizarre accusations including flight risk, drug and alcohol use. Ironic since she kidnapped the child for 2 months and I have been clean and sober for 7 years. Wife knows this well. She is pushing a strong offensive because she will be deported if the judge ever considers the facts in this matter.
Any way, it is what it is. Another case of a judge refusing to consider the statutes and the merits. We need a jury trial for this. Children do not deserve biased judges.
