My six year old still wets his pull up at night. He wears them because he had a problem wetting the bed and we like to try to avoid the bed getting wet. How can I break him. The alarm trick does not work with him.

My son is always biting, just this morning he bit my older sons friend in the arm. They all were playing, chasing eachother, having fun, but it ends up this way, him biting, or spiting, I don't know what to do. My 7 year old had that problem when he was 2, but I bit him back, and it only took like two times for him, and he stoped!! I can not get him to stop, I don't want to put hot pepper in his mouth, or soap, to me thats mean!! I pop him but nothing I seem to do is working. I understand he is in his terable TWOS, but I'm at the end of my rope!! Any advice???? Thanks

My daughter who is now 4 spoke at least 30 words at 16 months, however my 16month old son only says about 3. A few months back is vocab was probly about 7 words but he no longer uses or seems to remember many of them. I am a stay at home mom so he gets plenty of attention & nurture. But the more I see my friends 13 month old the more concerned I become. I points and grunts alot, and makes a few gestures but will not even try and ask for a drink when he is thristy or ask for food when hungery. Do I have anything to be concerned about?

It's been over 6 years ago since my last one. I got pregnant quickly with him when I was with his father. I'm worried that it's never going to happen.

I think it will be better if I go on birth control but I just dont want my parents knowing and I will feel bad keeping it from them but they would flip if they new I was having sex. Its not like I have sex with everyone just my boyfriend of three years. I dont know what to do but I would rather them find out about the birth control then me being pregnant. Should I go on it?

People constantly tell me when I should have children and I am 23 and married!

Everyone has an opinion and they want you to follow their advice.

I know when I finally have a child people are going to be telling me what they think I should do with my kids as far as education, daycare, haircuts, etc!

People think their way of parenting is THE way.

What is wrong with people like this??

Last year, my son had a hard time adjusting to kindergarten. He was restless, bored, and did not follow directions. Teacher said he does not have ADHD she thinks but said he is not focus and one time he fell asleep on his desk. She said that although he's very solid academically that is why he's going to first grade in the fall, he takes longer than other students to complete his work. He told me that he does not like school and that it is boring. I worry that history might repeat itself again. Did anyone else have this problem?

I am currently 6 wks pregnant, and having a very hard time with dizziness and abdominal cramping. I have a history of miscarriages as well. I work a job that is extremely physical, and involves alot of heavy lifting, pulling, and other strenuous activities. I am worried that when I tell my employer about being pregnant, they are going to fire me, or demote me. What are my legal rights as far as not being able to do the lifting or other things I could do before? My doctor tells me to take a vacation for awhile, but there is no way that can happen. Any ideas on how to handle this?

well guys ..hopefully someone has been in the same situation and can put my mind at rest. I am 23 and stopped using birth control around 2 years ago(the combined pill), this was due to medical reasons and not actually to start a family.
i have been with my fiance for 4 years and we are getting married soon, we stopped using condoms around a year ago as we would love to have a child together. unfortuantely nothing seems to be happening!
I do have polycystic ovary syndrome, but have quite a normal cycle now,so surely if i have and am ovulating then something should of happened within the year!!?.i am just worried i cant conceive. maybe we dont have sex enough ...at most its once,twice a week...hard with work were like ships in the night lol!!.
please help id love to hear from people with similar problems .thank you xo

My sister is 17 and was having a C-section done tommorow. She just went into labor with her kid ( I'm adopting it!!!!) What's a way to be calm in another's labor? I think its going to be very painful for her and things, with her being so young. We think it is a girl, but we could be surprised!!!! LOL!!! I will be here for a long time because they told me not to come until they make sure ( what the heck???????????????) but they said we'll check her out because they don't think she went into labor ( well their not sure) but who knows. I want to go now but I have to wait until my babysitter 15 year old Kelli gets here to watch my kids. Thanks 4 the help!!

I'm having my third baby and I'm not sure if another shower should be done. I had one with the first, a girl. Then another for the second, a boy. I'm having another girl and there is a few things that I need, but I'm not sure if another shower is appropriate. I would like to have a get together with all our family and friends to welcome the new baby, but not sure if it should be considered a "shower". I was wondering if a themed party after the birth would be a better thing to do. I was also wondering if anyone had any ideas for a theme. Like a diaper party or hand me down party. That way people done't have to shop for new items for a baby that is already getting a lot of hand me down stuff. Help.
