Pregnancy & Parenting - 21 August 2006

My boyfriend and I have been together for almost 4 yrs, he has an 11yr. old son, who has very little respect for adults, and anyone else. i grew up in a strict home and so i'm a little strict, my boyfriend is very passive and a sucker when it comes to making the child do any chores, or learn any kind of responsibility, or the value of a $$. it's difficult for me to see and understand the way
my borfriend deals with things, and the way he sets an example for his son, but now we're having a baby of our own so it's become an even bigger concern for me.

Ghandi's grandson Arun often speaks of a time he drove his father into town and was supposed to have the car serviced while his father went about his business. Arun had agreed to pick his father up at 5 pm. When he showed up 1 hr late his concerned father asked what happened. Rather than admitting he had lost track of time at the movies, Arun said it took longer to service the car than expected. Little did he know his father had already called the service station and learned Arun had left with the car hours earlier.

Catching this lie, Arun’s father asked, "What have I done to raise a son who would so easily lie to his father?" As an act of penance his father decided to walk home, 18 miles! No matter how much Arun apologized and urged his father to PLEASE get in the car, he could not get him to change his mind. Arun felt so badly that he never lied to his father again.

This is like canceling your much-anticipated vacation b/c a child misbehaved -- who agrees this is effective?

I read that if you are trying to conceive that after sex you should lay with your hips elevated for 20 to 30 mins. is this really necessary? (just askin cause right now me and my boyfriend just have quickies and i dnt have time to just lay there that long)

place him into nursery whilst I work.I only work part time,he's nearly 2 years old and the health visitor has said it would benefit him to interact with other children more.Ex claims I am being unreasonable and if I put him into nursery he will file for sole custody of our child.Am I being unreasonable?Because his dad has moved back to his parents my son is spending more time in their house than he is mine,its like our home is his part time home.Is it fair of ex to threaten to go for custody of our son?

I have heard so many different opinons on how long it will take to get pregnant. I also had to have LEEP done two years ago and am wondering if that will hinder my fertility at all.

Right before I delivered my daughter I specifically told the nurses that I wanted to exclusively breast-feed my daughter. Because I was under some sedation (Nubain and Phenergan), they didn't want me to breastfeed. So they fed her Enfamil LIPIL w/Iron (without asking me either). I had Similac Advanced w/Iron at home from a gift-bag from the docs office. I eventually had to switch to the Similac w/ Iron as requested from my baby's doctor, b/c she figured that her constipation & colicky attitude stemmed from the Similac Advanced. Well, since WIC doesn't offer the Similac, now they have her on Enfamil Gentlease. Doc also told me to put 1tsp of prune juice per 1oz of formula to help with constipation. I'm at wits end. I am getting tired of getting the run around from her doctor & the WIC office & I'm tired of them messing with her digestive system. It's NOT fair to her, she's only 3wks old. My milk has dried & I'm depressed that I can't feed her the way I want. Any thoughts on this?

I find my six year old touching himself whenever he is getting dressed or is in the tub. He just started doing this recently. Is this normal at his age? Should I be concerned or is this just a phase?

My six month old son (5 months; 3 weeks) hasn't rolled over. Well, I should say not since he was four weeks old. Just now, while playing, he managed to lift himself OVER the bobby (propped him while sitting) and then manuevered himself behind the boppy.

How can he do this and not roll over yet?

He doesn't like his belly, but we have at least 30 minutes a day of belly time and it's getting better. When he sits he and lunges forward to grab something and falls to his belly he'll stay there and play. He'll even teeter totter on his side...but no roll.

Why do you think he's not rolling over yet?
