I planned a birthday party for my son who is turning 9. On my weekend. While he was with his father about 1 week before the party, he apparently wandered off from his stepmother. I agreed he should be punished but requested they handle it at their house. The father blamed me for the incident altogether. Basically, they told my son his party with me is cancelled and that is he went through with the party he would be grounded for a month. So his punishment was to cancel the party, grounded for 2 weeks with threat of another month added. Is this ok? Can my ex run my household like this???

We have been trying to get my daughter to take a bottle for 2 months. I make sure to leave the house... but nothing works. We've tried 5 different bottles as well. Each time she screams and hits the bottle away from her.

Any suggestions?

Is it generally considered safe to continue to have sex after your cervix has begun to dilate? I have read that you should not if your water has broken already, but what about up until that point? No other problems with the pregnancy..

you didn't take into consideration that possiblities? I just think it's sad that so many babis are born out of lust and no commitment by their parents and even being aborted or abondned because of their parents carelessness and selfishness? I'm sorryif I'm so blunt or hurt feelings..I'm just trying to understand

I will be having another baby in January. My two babies will be 18 months apart. Breastfeeding my first son was very time consuming, I can't imagine being able to have the time to breastfeed my second while chasing around another toddler.
How did you do it?
How long were you able to breastfeed the second?
I did it for 8 months with my first...

I have a few questions...I am 7 months pregnant and I was wondering: 1.Am I suppose to choose a pediatrician before I deliver? 2.If I choose to breast feed will my breasts grow larger after the first few days of feeding? 3.Should I check out the hospital where I might be having the baby at? 4.Do you have to pay the hospital up front if you want the baby to be circumsized? 5.I am no longer with the baby's father, for reasons such as he wanted me to get an abortion...but I have a new boyfriend- and I was wondering can my baby have his last name?-but can I still receive child support from the real father? Please help, and thank you for taking your time reading this.

I'm 39 weeks pregnant with my first baby....The doctor has already stripped my membranes and hopes that I will deliver some time in the next few days. I've had irregular contractions...but I know that there are some ways to naturally help get labor going. I need some ways that actually do work...

I am ready to have children (I'm 27) but I'm not married. We plan on staying together forever, but neither of us are in a hurry to marry. However, my biological clock is ticking. Give me your opinions.
