Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 August 2006

Our 10 years old son (only child) does almost everything backwards or according to him "He doesn't like being pushed" I mean if I'd ask him to do something or suggest we go somewhere his response is almost always NO. I spend a lot of time with him "bonding" going to water park, movies or playing soccer under the rain, etc. Still when I ask him for a small favor it's always "NO". Or if I want to show him the right way of doing something he says no I want to do it my way (backwards) I mean I love him, but it's so frustrating... I understand that it's something normal for this age, but this was happening since he was born.
How do you deal with this "NO" thing?

I couldn't believe how many people were rattled by the cover of this months Babytalk Magazine which features a baby being breast fed on the cover.

"Readers of a US parenting magazine are crying foul over the publication's latest cover depicting a woman breastfeeding, with some calling the photo offensive and disgusting."

"Several readers said they were "embarrassed" or "offended" by the Babytalk photo and one woman from Nevada said she "immediately turned the magazine face down" when she saw the photo."

These quotes were taken from a news website, and I just couldn't believe how much of a BIG deal was made over this!!!

What are your thoughts?!?

I think instead of all the sickos on this site ruining it with sick questions like "I don't know what to do my daughter has blood coming out her butt" (and you know who you are that wrote that question but I'm not naming any names *cough Jonny J *cough*) I honestly think there should be a section called "idiots" so all of the freaks and weirdos can stop putting sick posts where they are not wanted. And can find a place that fits there question exactlty.

she was very happy in the bed for months, it's a nice new winnie-the-pooh bed with her own mattress - there seems to be no real difference in softness, what's her issue? and is there any harm in letting her sleep there, if she's safely in her room and sleeping well? thanks

My son is 3, I get him up at about 630 am for daycare, since I work full time. He is having trouble at naptime, but shows that he IS tired. A friend of mine says that I put him down too early in the evening. But I don't think so...I put him down between 730 and 8 pm and I was told that he needs 11-12 hours of sleep. What are your opinions???????

I love kids, but there are just some children that are so awful that I do not like being around them. The woman I work with brings her two boys to work with her when the boss is gone and the younger one is such a little sweetheart. But the older one is a total brat. He is a little smart-@ss to me, talks back to his mother and is very mean to his little brother. Their mother acts like she doesnt even notice. I mean, do some parents not know that their children are brats?

If you do, have you seen the cover that all the controversy is about? The one with the close up side view of the woman breastfeeding? Have you seen that, and why are so many people disgusted by it? I've heard the words outraged, apalled, disgusted, horrified,and offended used to refrence this photo. Why do us, Americans, find something that G_d designed us for so disgusting? They see kittins nursing and dont call the press register, do they? Please help me to understand why this is supposed to be disgusting ,and not beautiful?

i've heard that is safest for children under twelve years old to ride in the back seat (and to be in a booster until they are eight), but it seems that not many people adhere to that.

I had a part time job that was pretty flexible and laid back that today, I just found out, is not in the "budget" anymore??? We don't really need the extra money, but now I feel guilty that my husband is the only one working. Is it too far along to get another job??? We're also planning a vacation at the beginning of Sept. so I couldn't even start looking until after that. What should I do??? I know it's my decision, but feedback helps....even from kind strangers!!! 1st pregnancy by the way!!!!!!!

Do you think 41 is TOO old to have a baby? If you're in perfect health and nothing is wrong with you or your body do you think it would be okay to have a baby at 41?

i asked "is it true the best time to get pregnant on your period?" and so many people assumed that i had to be "young" this is not the case i am 21 years old and i have a son of my own, the question i asked was simply something i had heard that i wasn't sure how to answer so i thought i would ask here and got a bunch of rude answers. thanks to the people who answered truthfully and without assuming i was young and nieve. to the others stop answering questions if you can't be respectful!
thank you...that really irritaed me.
