Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 August 2006

I have a hard time understanding him as well as other family members. He screams at the top of his lungs when told to stop screaming he says okay then screams again even louder. He goes into the refrigrator without permission and opens containers, spilling themall over the icebox, when I calmly explain why you don't do that he takes of running or says okay and does the samething again. He likes to dress himself,which I don't mind,but he will go into the closet after he already has dressed himself and knocks down every article of clothing in the closet. I have to fight him to go to bed, he's the first one up. dosen't take naps, spanking dosen't help, explaining dosen't help. I stay at home with the children my other two sons do not have this problem at all. What 0shoul0d I do,0 at my wits end.No one will watch him in the family, church childcare has also started backing off watching him. Stating their under staffed.000000000000

Hi my daughter is 17mos old and she will not eat any table food no matter how much you mash it up.She will eat baby food and pudding.When you try to feed her she will instantly start gagging at what appears to be on purpose and she will do that until she throws up.And she will cry when she sees you approaching her with food.She drinks milk and wants her baby sisters formula.She has always been this way.And she dont seem very social either.Please help.

Would you pick a child of the same race, a radically different race, etc. Are there honestly any races off limits? What are some considerations and deciding factors?

(Sorry, that sounds like 3 questions in one, doesn't it.)

I'm a 40 yr old single mother of 4 wonderful boys. My youngest is 3 years old. I had my tubes tied when I had him in 2003. Imagine my surprise when I found out i'm pregnant again!

The reason I had my tubes tied is i have less than a 1% chance of living through another pregnancy. I have heart disease, eclampsia, gestational diabetes, i've had 4 c-sections and very high blood pressure. My youngest was 6 weeks premature and 14.1 lbs at birth!

Now, i do NOT belive in abortion, but i'm also worried about leaving my sons with no one to care for them. I have no living family and the boys would probably go to foster homes. The fathers have never paid any child support.

I'm most likely only 4 weeks along. I've seen the pictures of 6-7 week abortions and they are horrible. I would never willingly put a little life through that. But my living children need me too!

Advise? Suggestions? prayers? The doctor today said he didn't seen anything on the sonogram, but the 'pee test' positive

What are some things that help your child, and yourself deal with everyday life? Are they on SSI? Are they in a regular public school? Do they take meds? How do you cope ?

Since we have moved into a "good" neighborhood. My daughter is less active . Most of the kids are involved in indoor educational activites. My daughter is 8, and weighs 102 lbs. My girl is beginning puberty and is very tall and soilid, not fat. However her clothing is costing me a fortune. Problem is all she want to do is eat and watch tvif no other kids are out. Even while she's out she doesn't run alot. I am 5-7 her dad is 5-11 225lbs. Is she just going to be an amazon? People make rude or stupid comments infront of her, to her, or try to restrict her eating or suggest I have a doctor look into it. I wasn't concerned until she started turning down food she liked and mentioned being on a diet.

What kind of chores can I give my children with out them complaining "I can't do this!" What kind of chores do your kids have.My son attentionspan is horrible. I'll send him to pick up toys and he will start playing with them, maybe whine, and then leave them there again he's 7. I feel like I am making him into a lazy man not to expect alot from him. On the other hand my daughter is 8 and does an excellent job with her chores. How can I get him to work better? Or should I just keep pulling out the belt.

My son has no friends, he get angry very easily, he has had some violent outbursts at school and the teacher has caught him crying & knocking his head into the gate. He has trouble reading as well. He just seems a little "off". Not happy & outgoing like other kids. Does anybody have similar problems & what did you do?

I am a size 14 now, even before the pregnancy. I have a little bit of a tummy, but I think that is mostly due to my wieght, not the pregnancy. My stomach feels a little harder than normal. Some of my pants are a little tighter. When will I look pregnant. Also, I haven't had any morning sickness, just occassional queasiness. Does this mean that something is wrong?

A friend of mine is expecting triplets in Oct and she must remain off her feet until then. Can you suggest things she could do to pass the time? This is a 28 yr old, first pregnancy and up to this time in her life, a very active individual. We need to help her save her sanity and that of those around her. Rest is one option, but she can't sleep for 3 months! HELP!!!
