Pregnancy & Parenting - 8 August 2006

Could anyone recommend a good affordable childcare in either Marysville or Lynnwood, WA. I'm looking for only part time (2 days/week) Mon & Tue. for my 16 mo old. I've called around a couple places and they're either expensive (kindercare is $63/day) or they don't look very credible.

heres the deal..im a nanny who watches a 3 1/2yr old throws a temper tantrum every morning before coming to me. i watch a total of 4 kids..2 seperate families and she cries more than the other children the oldest 4yrs ..youngest 6mo. Shes a Daddy's girl..and personally i think shes spoiled. She whines when her popsicle breaks into small pieces, or if someone is sitting on her side of the couch..ANYTHING to whine about and she starts up..I sit her on the bottom step and let her cry it out..it may take up to 20 min..but she ends up stopping...however with mom and dad it lasts close to an hour and you could tell in their faces they're about ready to scream. She loves princesses and loves dressing up in dresses..i have suggested taking that away when she's out of order..however she comes over wearing a dress and im like 'wtf" she's a drama queen ever since she was born..firstborn of course and she's getting ready for another sis/bro next month...any suggestions?

Okay other than threatening to punish what are some things you do to get your kids to help? My kids are; 6, 9 & 11. I have tried taking things from them and grounding them but it hasn't worked. When my husband gets involved, he gets frustrated and gives in. I never do give in and I am always the 'bad' one. Sometimes it gets pretty old. Any suggestions?

sickness and dehydration...As I said I'm 15 weeks now and still having a really bad morning sickness, I'm not able to keep anything down unless I'm taking my medicine(Zofran).I'm really worried because of the medicine and about the fact that I was so dehydrated.My questions are: Did anybody experienced the same?
When did the morning sickness go away?
Did anybody take Zofran? Did you deliver healthy babies?
Did anybody stay in hospital because of dehydration? was your baby ok?
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!

What is the most important value you want to instill in your children? Why? I think mine would be tolerance...but its hard to teach tolerance with all the bullies now-a-days. Thanks!!

I'm trying to get my 21 month old son to eat a variety of foods, but all he wants is pretzels. He is dependant on IV feedings due to the loss of his small intestine. He really doesn't need to eat at all for nutrition, but it's better for him if he does because it keeps his stomach and remaining intestine healthy. He's not hungry because of the IV feedings, so anything he eats would need to be quite tasty. Any ideas?

My husband & I have been trying to conceive for 2 years. A friend of mine (who has been trying for 4 years) recently became pregnant with her first child. She doesn't know if it was coincidental but she took pre-seed for one month and she is expecting her first child in February. Do any of you have a pre-seed success story?

I am pregnant with my boyfriends baby and though we hope to marry in December (before baby gets here) I still feel very insecure about my relationship with him. He is a very loving person but if he doesn't call me at least twice a day I start to feel insecure and like "well maybe he doesn't really want to marry me" or "maybe he feels he HAS to marry me now that I'm having his kid" or I think sometimes that maybe he's not being faithful to me ALL because he doesn't call me at LEAST twice a day. Is it normal to feel THIS overly insecure while you're pregnant? I think I'm driving myself insane. Sometimes I think I might drive him away by being insecure too so I try to hide it. Please someone help me.

I am not sure if this was discussed already on this board, but when I heard that they over turned the original verdict and that this woman was now found not guilty (for reason of insanity) I really had tro scratch my head at the judicial system, or at least at the 12 jurors...Think about it...I know I shouldn't judge depression can cause you to do some crazy stuff, but she drowned each of her children one by one...FIVE children!!!...How much time and energy did that take?....I would imagine alot of time. (enough for her to know she was doing something wrong.)?????

In 2001 I lost my baby cousin, Nora, at the age of 4 months~Doctors tried to pass it off as SIDS when in fact she died from LCHAD, a metabolic disorder. Do you know that a $20.00 newborn screening test would have saved her life? It's completely treatable with diet. At the time, California did not do EXPANDED newborn screening. Only certain screenings. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share this info. AND PLEASE DEMAND "EXPANDED" Newborn screening for your baby.
There are many metabolic disorders but the one that took our little Nora is where..."the body can't break down certain sugars & fats"...even the breastmilk was doing damage. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS!..My mom was with Nora when she had to be rushed to the hospital. Your state may do the newborn screening and may not. I can't believe that there are parents that don't request it..IF WE WOULD HAVE KNOW ABOUT THIS..SHE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY
Here is her story..contact me w/ any questions.
