Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 August 2006

at kindergarten. This is her 2nd week and she has complained for the past few days that she does not like school, it is boring. This morning on the way she started crying and said no one wants to be her friend and all the girls ignore her. She will be 6 in December, and is usually a very confidant child. I left her crying and I cried all the way home- what can I do to make this better for her?

I am shopping for crib bedding sets and I don't want to spend a bunch of money on one if they won't be in the crib for that long. I have a bassinet already and she will be sleeping upstairs in that for a few months till I let her sleep in the crib. So when do I let her sleep in a toddler bed?

I have a strange question. I am 4 months pregnant, never had the greatest sex drive to begin with, but now that I am pregnant, I don't have one hardly at all. I love my husband, and I love affection and I love sex! Now my poor husband is telling me he misses me touching him, and giving him affection, and sex. In my head I WANT to do these things....and I try to tell him, i really want to. but he gets bummed out....BEFORE you all start saying he shouldnt be this way, he should understand im pregnant and so on....please realize that he is NOT pressuring me, and it is NOT causing any problems, I can just see that he misses our intimacy, as do I...and I want to know when that will come back. people say in your second trimester..I am 4 months, and no change yet. Am I alone? hellppppp!!!

I have been seeing my new girlfriend for a couple of months now and it is pretty serious. I met her 6 year old son for the first time this weekend. The first day went really well and we all had a great time - especially her son! However today was a whole different kettle of fish! He got very jealous any time we went near each other and had continual tantrums, finally resorting to kicking his mum and drawing pictures of bad things happening to her! I played with him and we all played together all day, and we had a picnic but this afternoon he changed his attitude. I don't have any problem with him - he is the most important thing in her life and I have no intention of getting in the way, but having no experience with this situation - or children at all - I don't know how to progress. He has accepted his dad's new girlfriend without a problem, but he lives with his mum and is scared he's going to lose her like he 'lost' his dad.
Any advice would be appreciated?

The stress of having a crappy marriage & a newborn & a preschooler is getting to me! I am trying so hard not to take things out on my 2-year-old, but it's HARD not to when she is whiny or wakes the baby...

I want to tell him of the possiblity before he leaves. But if I am wrong and it isn't what it seems he may see it all as a trap to keep him with me. That isn't the case at all i want the best for him. I have a life here with my children already but i don't want to have to tell him later and then he think I kept it from him on purpose... God.. I am to old for this.. please offer soem advice besides take a test because.. its still to early for all that and he leaves Friday...

My little boy is 11months old. Four days ago we started using the Ferber method. We were not sure about it but he has not slept a whole night once yet he has always gotten up at least twice a night. Well I guess that I didn't read up enough on it because while I was in the same room (he didn't realize it though) I just let him cry it out I never actually went to him in interverls to sooth him. I could see him so i knew that he was okay and not hurt making himself sick. After three nights of him crying for about 1hr & 10 min he slept through the night without a peep . Each morning he woke up happy and laughing. Since I never actually "soothed" him personally will this hurt if that i just let him cry. I AM WORRIED PLZ HELP...... THANK YOU

My husband and I split in my 4th month. He is still involved with my preganacy and wants to be my coach. But, I just don't feel comfortable with him anymore. I don't want to be even more tense in the labor room than I have to be. I won't be able to relax if he is the one taking care of me because, there is just too much resentment there. So, my delima is I have no one else. I have been thinking about not have a coach at all. Has anyone out there ever done that before?

I have a 2-year-old that I have to make some time for. I can barely set the baby down long enough to get myself a snack (much less a meal) & yet I am supposed to find time to cook for my daughter & clean the house??? I haven't had an unrushed shower or bath since my newborn was born 13 days ago. HELP!

PS: If you suggest having my husband help out, that doesn't help. He's not very helpful at all.

I have an 8 year old and a 2 month old. I can't remember when my son started teething since it was so long ago. My daughter now will be 3 months on Sept. 10th, she is drooling a lot and has also started to suck her hand. She seems a bit more cranky now - Does that mean she can be teething?

What's labor (all together) like? My doctor says that she doesn't think I am going to have enough room to carry my daughter the full 40 weeks? What's it like to have a premature baby and the labor? I'm sure that it's scray with a baby being that small... I just want to be prepared!

My cycles change from month to month. I go from a 36 day cycle to a 33 day cycle back to a 36 day cycle. Is that considered an irregular period. Also how hard is it for me to become pregnant with a cycle like this.

My husband is so frustrated because he can't do anything to soothe our fussy newborn. The only thing that calms her down is my breast & I think he is starting to resent me & the baby. I want to continue breastfeeding because I know it's best for the baby & I read that supplementing formula is bad for her intestional tract. Does anyone have any suggestions!? Thanks.

I am pregnant and want to wait as long as I can before I have to go to the doctor. My mom works for the doctor (typing the medical dictations) and I want to be able to tell her myself, rather than her finding out through work. I was hoping to be able to wait until I was out of my first trimester to tell people. So, my question is when do I need to go so that my baby is getting adequate health care.

ok posted a few hours ago and thanks to all those who replied...thing is im 18 in one month and i KNOW he's not a pedophile and has NEVER had any cruel intentions on me. he and i both have our own comitments with work and we dont spend that much time together. actually he was helping me with work experience and we kind of grew closer together through that. and now i wanted to spend more time with him, but not just as a student/advisor style...i just posted because i was curious about what people might think about age difference. and im not foolish, i KNOW when im dealing with weirdos and he is not one!

She still has a small piece of umbilical cord stump, so I know it's not supposed to get wet, but she kinda smells bad (from spitting up on herself & whatnot). So, I need some detailed instructions or a good link about how to give a sponge bath because I'm a little clueless. Thanks!

My wife and I decided to Never speak to our child like a baby..ya know like cute baby voices...we speak only in regular words and we speak to our son as a normal person. But how do we get our family to respect our wishes of No baby talk? They think that we are being crazy but we just feel that there is no need to talk to a baby ...like a baby..infact we plan on raising our son in a more socially unorthadox kinda way but we feel that it will be better in the long run. any advice?
