Jack, James, Jennifer, Joanne, etc.

Kasey, Katherine, Katie, Kim, etc.

Abigal, Amy, Aaron, Aiden, etc.

I find that kind of annoying, its not even original and it makes the children sound like some family group act.

All their kids have names that begin with the same letter, it just sounds silly.

Maybe I am just snobby, but I would never do that!

Why would people do that? Do they think its cute?

she takes 8ozs &1tsp of baby rice in the bottle, then has a nice bath and is in bed for 9.30pm. she sucks her dummy to get to sleep, then i remove it. (she doesnt take a dummy at all during the day) She has been wakening 5/6 times every night. I have to sit at the side of the cot holding the dummy in her mouth untill she falls back to sleep (she cannot manage to keep the dummy in her mouth herself) She is not wakening looking to be fed, only for the dummy???? We have tried to get her back to sleep without the dummy but she just ended up yelling! She becomes very restless from 2.30am onwards. Is there any natural remedies which may help her sleep longer?

He left me after 8yrs and now lives with my son's friends mother. My kids are almost 7 and almost 2. They're gr8 but, the situation is so tough. I have to see his girlfriend every day at school and I hate the fact that he sees them. I just don't know how I can be civil to him. He angers me so much - I love him and hate him at the same time!! Anyway - how can I give the kids a normal life and try to include their Dad in it.

My daughter is 22 months old and she got a runny nose and a very low grade fever. Typical cold. She's eating good, playing hard and is happy otherwise. I don't want to give her any medicines, just may be some ideas of what can be done at home? Except for humidifiers, we're in Texas, we have enough humidity here.

Well one night about 2 days after my period ended my bf didn't exactly "pull out" well I called my doctor and got the PLAN B pill I took it the following evening but then my friend from down state called and she was up here and wanted me to meet her at the local pub forgetting about the pill I took I got pretty drunk well really drunk when I got up the next morning I was puking sick so I couldn't take the Plan B pill untill later that day which was long after 12 hours....Last time I took Plan B I had a period and cramps but not this time at all not even one drop. So is my only hope that I didn't ovilate? Or do you think plan b and large quanities of alcohol was enought to make it doubtful? that was 2 days ago how long before I can take a OTC pregnacy test?

Basically tunin in with your child and knowing when they need the loo by reading their signals thus gettin rid of nappies?

My son is 10 months old and I am going to start doing something similar, I just never realised there was a name for it! MY mum had us all using potties by the time we were a year old and never got poo bums off us as she knew when we were going. That was back in the day of laboursome terry towling nappies so maybe thats why people were quicker!

From what I have read though this method can be used from birth.

I was wondering if anyone had experience of this?

This was one website I found about - http://www.freewebs.com/freetoec/

I am new here but decide to take a chance and post. My last period was on June 30. Since then I have take 2 dollar tree test which both come up negative. I have a little nausea during the day, starting to gain weight, constipated, and sleepy. But what is really weird is the taste of metal in my mouth occasionally. I've never heard of that before. But is possible that I am pregnant or is it all in my head? Are Dollar test accurate? How common is it or women not to register on urinetest? Sure the common answer is to go to the doctor, but no insurance :(! Anyone ever been through this or know someone who has?

I am truly disgusted with my some of the members in my generation! We have fallen victim to stereotypes to the worst degree. I know everyone has stereotypes but it seems to be everyone hates on everyone else no matter what they do. If you smoke, you’re a bad person. If you spank your children, you’re a bad parent. If you don’t spank your children, you’re a bad parent. If you’re Latino, you crossed the border illegally. If you are black, you are a gangster. I could go on and on. If you got pregnant while you are a teenager you are automatically considered a bad parent. I just don’t understand it…as a society are we that superficial to think that everyone who is different or who has done things differently is wrong? I challenge every parent to raise their child with out stereotypes. Let them know that just because someone has made mistakes they aren’t considered a bad person. I think the best thing my mom ever told be was not to judge a book by its cover but does everyone practice this? Has anyone tried stepping into another parents shoes or at least imagine what it is to be them? As mothers, fathers, and caregivers you would think we should be sympathetic to one another’s problems but I can grantee you look at any question and at least one answer will be negative or rude to the person.

- What stereotypes do you have?

- What do you feel made you have that stereotype?

- Do you plan on changing?

I consider myself a very open-minded person and truly intend on raising my son that way, do you plan on raising your children the same?

I would like to get the IUD but I have heard that there are lawsuits against the company because it impaires a woman to conceive when she is ready. So, i thought maybe the shot? But I don't know I really wanted the IUD because I still liv eat home and I dont't want my mother to know I am on Birth control and my b/f is worried about it because he is scared that I will never conceive when we are both ready. So whats the best choice out of the two?
