My son first birthday is next month. His father can not be here (Army) and everyone is pressuring me to have a huge family get together. We are talking cousins uncles grandmothers, all of them. I know they mean well but my son is just not a social baby. He crys when around unfamiliar things. Should I give in and have a huge party or stick to my gut and do a small at home immediate family thing? Oh also if you have any suggestions for themes and what not I am open.........

I am having regular (a few times a day) womb contractions, sometimes very painful. But my due is in october! has anyone had a similar problem and can it lead to premature labour? My OB just told to limit my activities - not specifying anything.

My little son is turning 4 this month, and is enrolled for the Pre-K program this fall, that is offered through our public school system. All of his friends are going.
He is my first child, and will always be my baby. I am a stay at home mom, so I've never put my kids in Daycare. So this is very new to me What is the best way to prepare him, and prepare ME, to let him go to school?
I swear I'm going to cry all day after I drop him off for the first time.

My baby girl was born July 4th. She stares at my wife and I all the time but I know she really can't see us just yet. How long before her little eyes start to focus? Also, is it normal for her eyes to cross from time to time as she tries to look around? Thanks!

My mom is totally set on sending me to a sexual education class because she's afraid I'm going to get "in over my head" with my boyfriend. I know I'm smarter then that, and he's a really nice guy and we aren't about to have sex because neither of us are ready for that. I've talked to her about it and I've made it very clear that I don't want to go, but she still thinks it's a good idea. Now, I'm pretty sure I know most of that sort of stuff from like my friends and stuff, but I'm not about to admit that to her. I think I should just go to this class so she backs off about it, but I really don't see the point of her waisting my time and her money on something I don't need. I don't know what to do......

My son farted in front of his aunt & uncle (my brother), which my brother got very mad about - to the point of cussing (bad - starts with F) at him and lecturing him for about 15 minutes. Is farting really that bad to where you should be angered at a child for doing so? My son is 13, and thinks that farting is funny, but isn't doing it intentionally.

My 3 year old daughter was diagnosed with a cholesterol level of 202 recently. She doesn't eat too many sweets but does not like fruits and veggies either. She does like whole wheat breads and pasta and dairy products. Oatmeal, farina and Cheerios aresome of her favorite foods, but she also loves mac n' cheese. She is a very active little girl who gets plenty of exercise, sleep and water. What should I do to supplement her diet and lower her cholesterol. I feel very concerned about this.

I can't seem to get my daughters dinner time on a regular schedule. Some days she decides she wants to eat other days she nibbles. She loves to feed herself she'll eat her fruit, and her snacks; but when it comes to dinner time it is a whole different story. She plays and spits her food out. Any sugggestions from anyone on how you handled this situation? I know all babies are not the same, she's not under weight sometimes I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

she is in a "hitting" mold where she wants to hit her mom and is now whining for things. I try to discipline by telling her NO and holding her hands down. I know this just may be a passing phase, but is worrying me as older sister who is 11 years old treats mother badly and maybe the 2 year old sees that. Any help or suggestions?

My son just turned a year old and I noticed LOOOOOOOOONG ago...before his 2 month appointment that his circumcision wasn't done correctly. I still have to pull back the skin to clean him. I know there are people that say that it is all for show, but I don't want to have to deal with the cleaning of it and the bacteria that can get under the skin...and when he is older, I don't want him to have that ugly worm in a turtleneck look. Should I do this now or let him decide when he's older?
