my son turns 7 today, and he's told me that he wants us to surprise him in terms of his gifts. What would be a really cool/unique gift to get for him? He has so many toy cars and action figures and such...nothing seems to hold his attention very long. I'm looking for something that will be exciting and fun, or something he'll treasure.

What are the requirements for a home-based babysitter? My aunt used to do child care and it seems to me that after you have a certain number of kids in your care, you have to get licensed by the state? The number of kids my sitter has varies from 4 to maybe 10 or so on any given day. Their ages run from 1 year to 11 years with most of them being under the age of 5. Is she supposed to be licensed, because she's not.

When did you take the "binky" away? And how did you do it?

My daughter is 12 months old and Im not going to take her binky away just yet because she will have a baby sister in the next few weeks, (I don't want her to think of it as a concequence), plus it will make life easier for me in the next few months.

She still hasn't gotten her first tooth, so im not worried about "teeth comming in crooked". (I think thats crap anyways).

But when I do take it away, how should I do it? (keep in mind he little sister will be using one then)

alright, first off. I dont lime bringing my personal **** online. but meh I need advice from somewhere.

So anyways I've been married for a few months to my lovely wife. And we've been trying to have a baby and whatnot.

So Saturday night, I got drunk. Mind you I wasnt with her as it was after work.
And I went out to a bar. and ended up having a 1 night stand.
Now all I feel is guilt. So the question I need answered is. Should I tell my wife, and risk getting a divorce. or lay low, and hope I didnt get a different woman pregnant?

also, I asked in here, because I feel most of you are a bit more mature then some of the ones running around in other sections. lol

Im about to turn 17 next month and just got pregnate a few weeks ago. My boyfriend says that he can't handle having a child this young, but Im the total opposite. I have always been against abortion, and I figure that if im able to give it all it needs than it will be fine. I also have 3 other sisters and a dad living under the same roof as me, only one of my sisters know. She thinks that if I go through with the abortion, that I probly wont be able to handle the feelings afterwards. My dad also went through a miscarrage with my mom, do u think i should tell him so he has part say in this?? Thank you for all your support

She does anything in her power not to have to do anything and it makes me crazy. I need a new strategy. We've tried making it a game, we've tried punishments, rewards, and splitting up the job into pieces. In the end, if it involves her stopping what she wants to do, she won't have it. She's easily the stubbornest person I've ever met. She'd rather toys get thrown away than pick them up. She's out middle child and for the most part well behaved. Help?

He was breastfed up until about 2 weeks ago and now refuses the breast. He wakes up 2 to 3 times a night. Sometimes to just play.
I am not one to "just let him cry it out"

OK, I'm pretty DARN sure I'm not pregnant, but there's 1% of me that thinks I could be. I'm EXHAUSTED, and SICK TO MY TUMMY, and did I mention TIRED???

So here's my question... I have a toddler, who's as active as most - I've been SICK for the past 3 days and just want to sleep (temp of 101.5). HOW do you get through the YUCKY parts of pregnancy while taking care of a toddler???

I'm a stay at home mom - so it's not like I can go to work to get away from the toddler energy. (I worked when I was preggers with her, "working Moms" don't jump on me please - we're all in this together - SAHMs and those who work outside the home -

OK how many topics can I get in here? My real question is, how do you keep yourself healthy while you're preggers AND you've already got a toddler???

My kids are 21 months, 8 years and 11 years. The older two are telling me that they hardly eat anything there all day. I found out because I asked them one day out of the blue what they had for lunch, and they said they had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, a hot dog on a bun for lunch (and nothing else-no chips or anything) and three cookies for a snack. They are there over 10 hours a day! I can't take them they're own food because she has several other kids and I don't think it would be fair to the rest. Also, the yougest is very prone to diaper rash and she knows this. I had him almost all cleared up after the weekend and by Monday when I picked them up, it was back. I know it's because he's not getting changed often and his wet diapers are rubbing the sides of his legs. Do I confront her about these things or do I just find someone else? If I confront her, what if she denies it? Also, what reason do I give her for finding someone else? I don't do well with confrontation. Suggestions?

Women are so worried that men will not like them when they are pregnant, but many men think women are very attractive when pregnant. So why are women so worried men wont like them when pregnant? and Why do men think that pregnant women are attractive?
