I have tried to start potty training my 2 1/2 yr old little girl about a week ago. She wants to sit on the potty alot, but nothing comes out until we put a diaper on her. I bought big girl panties, a potty book, decorated a potty with stickers and evern got prizes for her for when she goes. But unless she actually pees or poops I cant give her a prize. I tried warm water on her hands, feet and even dribbled down her bottom but nothing is working. Is she just maybe not ready? I thought that she was cause she doesnt like a dirty diaper and asks to sit on her potty. She is very advanced in her speach and knowledge (counting etc. ) so I dont know why she couldnt be ready for this.

I was explaining to my 7-year-old son how Yahoo! Answers works. He thinks it's really neat! He would like some suggestions on what to do when you're afraid of the dark. He already has a night-light in his room. He looks forward to hearing from you! Thanks! :)

We just discovered she has an inguinal hernia, and all she needs is an ambulatory surgery, that means she has it in the morning and is walking out of the hospital in the afternoon. The worst part I guess is the general anasthesia... Any parents out there have gone thru something similar... please give me some advice or just wise words...

HELP...should a notify the police of possible child abuse?
It disturbs ME to see it once the child is past a certain age. I do think it borders on incest or abuse after awhile. At a past job, I walked into the bathroom where my co-worker was breastfeeding her son. I was horrified, but I covered my reaction and asked gently, "How old is your son?" The boy stopped sucking, looked at me and said, "I'm six!", and went back to it. If they can walk up to their "meal" and just stand their to receive it, something's wrong. Especially if they already have all of their childhood teeth and are in school.
NOTE : IF YOU LIVE IN 3RD WORLD COUNTRY THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE YOU.......................MOTH... HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BREASTFEED CASE THERE IS NO OTHER FOOD.

hi. im 23. last week i asked for your opinions if i was pregnant due to symtoms and being about 2 months late. i explained that i took 2 hpt's and got false results. well i went to the clinic today, finally. took a blood test, and BAM! positive results. we are assuming iam 11 weeks, because of the last time i was on my period. i find out for sure next week, when i get my first sonogram. thanks for all of your advise! iam definitely keeping the baby and going to try to be the best mommy i can be. but my question today is for you moms,

did you have a hard time sleeping around 11-weeks and so on? i cant sleep at all anymore, especially because i have to go to the bathroom almost every 5 min!

I have really tried to make myself like my stepson. I know that he has alot of emotional issues and we do have him in counceling. However, since he moved in I feel like my entire life has been turned upside down. I have never raised a child this age (12) and his actions and behavior just seem to irritate me most of the time. I dont trust him because he has stolen from me, he has an attitude with me and my husband both and also with my son as well. I really would like to be close to him and to grow to think of him as my own child, but dealing with his behavior over the last 2 months has made me somewhat understand why his mother got to the end of her rope. Before anyone call me a horrible person, I am not. I am not mean to him, I just tend to stay out of the situation and let my husband deal with him. I am really trying to like him, I just am not finding a way to do so. Please dont respond if you are just going to be mean and unhelpful. I need real advice from other stepmoms.

OK so I took 3 pg tests and all 3 were neg and i made sure it wasn't too early and all... but i am now a month late and have all the nauseous, tired, sore breasts, hungry and whatnot ( i also get this with pms tho) and so i've been consulting with friends and one said she took 7 tests before going to the doctor and all were neg but the docs was positive. So that leads me to the question (more of a poll) and no it is not "am i pregnant?" it is.... How many false negs did YOU get?? (that were not taken too early of course-meaning before you missed your period)

Hi, we're due in early december. We already have a name picked out if it's a boy, but it's killing us trying to find a "perfect" middle name if it's a girl. We like the name Leila for the first name and we're trying to find something that is two syllable, with the emphasis on the second syllable for a middle name (like Michelle, Marie, Nicole, Renee, etc etc etc). We just don't want anything too common though, and nothing that sounds like a stripper. lol lol
