My son is almost 3 years old, and when I give him a sippy cup, he drinks it in 2 or 3 drinks then asks for more. He would do this all day if I let him and I hate to tell him no when he says he is thirsty. Is there a medical reason that he would be so thirsty all the time?

I dont know what I should do. I dont have medical insurance either, should I just wait til I get my period, can there be a change in my period. I feel fine, I am usually irregular but I am stressing so much.

My sister has a 4 year old and a 1 1/2 year old. The 4 year old is always hitting/tripping/pushing the baby.. nothing she tries works?? Anyone else get over this problem? What's your advice.. cause I babysit them and have to try to deal with it too..

Time outs don't work, taking away toys don't work.. nothing works.

Has anyone had the Dr. break their water to induce labor? I may or may not have to have this done next week, depending on if I am at all dilated...the Dr. will explain it to me more next week if need be, but I am curious about it and would like to know how it's done and what that will feel like. Anyone had it done before?

This summer, my 4 year old went to different field trips with her daycare. The kids ride the daycare van and the daycare owner drives. My daughter came home singing some hip hop booty song from the radio. I asked the owner about letting 4 yr olds listen to a hip hop rap radio station. All they play on that radio station is booty shakin’ in the club. She defended herself saying the van doesn’t have a CD or cassette player, that the kids would get upset with no music, and that the Department of Human Services allows it. Plus she says that most of the kids listen to that type of music anyway.

My argument, pick out 5 songs and really listen to the lyrics, not appropriate for 4 yr olds. And just because DHS allows it doesn’t make it ok. AND kids are going to disagree with adults, but it’s our job as adults to set kids straight.

Needless to say, I am withdrawing her from this daycare. What’s Your Opinion?

* And anyone who disagrees with children being in daycare while parents work, please don’t respond. Many parents must work & enroll their children in daycare to make a living. Thanks.

How often do you give your kids (babies, preschoolers, and elementary age) a bath? I don't think everyday baths are necessary before puberty. What do you think?

The last time that I had my period was on July 20 and I'm still confused about when I'm suppose to get my next cycle. I have been exercising a lot lately and I'm a little stressed out about school. Could that be the cause of my problems?

I have a little over A week to go and I really can't take this any more I tried begging my doctor, and all he said you have to go into labor on your own. I know what every one will say be patient it will come when ready but I really can't take this any more this baby is huge and hurts every time she moves. Is there anything to do to start having contraction? I tried castor oil almost the whole bottle and nothing happened no cramps no going to the bathroom.

When I was in 5th grade (I'm going into 10th this year) my teacher gave us an assignment. It was a national thing (US only) for 5th graders and it was a poetry contest. We wrote poems and the 2 best out of the 5th grade were entered into the national poetry contest thing and they were put into a book. The book was a collection of the 2 best poems from all the participating schools in the US. Mine was chosen as one of the 2 best in my class and was submitted into the book. However, I cannot find the book anywhere! We were told the school was going to receive a copy of the poetry book but we never got one therefore I don't know what the book is called or what it looks like. Is there any 5th grade teachers here that gave the same assignment back in '01/'02? Any parents here with kids who entered the contest? ANY information on the book would be soooo greatly appreciated. Thanks so much to everyone.

I went to the doctor today and am 33 weeks pregnant. He said that I am having a big baby. I asked him "around 8 pounds?" He said"HAHAHA......that would be a tiny baby compared to what your gonna have!" Wow! I am nervous. Lucky for me I am having a scheduled C-section on Oct. 3,2006. Has anyone else had big babies like this and what size clothing do you think he will be wearing when he is born? 0-3 months or possibly 3-6 months?

I'm on birth control pills and have been getting my period every month, they have been a little lighter in the last 3 months than I remember, but still at the exact same time every month. I would possibly be 14-16 weeks at this point and have no symptoms other than what people seem to describe as fluttering in my stomach. I'm not sure if I'm just being paranoid??? Can anyone help???? my last test was at about 12/13 weeks and was still negative...

I went for one ultrasound at 14 weeks and it lasted for about half an hour. Nobody has told me about the results except for the fact that the baby is right on track growth wise. My midwife told me that my next ultrasound (scheduled for 20 weeks) will take about an hour. I read online that the hour long ultrasound is often done in high risk pregnancies or when something abnormal was found with the previous ultrasound results... Can anyone help explain this to me.
