I am getting ready to have my son's thrid b-day party, he wants Cars as the theme. I tought about the loot/candy bags and want to make them like stop lights. I am looking for black paper sacks. Anyone know where to buy them? I have found them online, but they only sell in bulks of 100 or more. My other option was cellophane bags with black and white checkered or racing car desgines around them. Anyone seen those?

I am 5 months along, before I got pregnant I weighted 142 and now I weight 128. I am 5'5" and 22 years old. I talked to the doctor about it but I am not even showing at 20 weeks and it worries me, but he acted like it was normal. I dont think he realizes that I lost 14 lbs in 5 months. I have a small build but I dont like being skinny, It just kind of worries me and I wanted someones elses advice or input. Thanks

Our families have no history of any food allergies, so I decided to let my little mamma eat eggs since she's been about 8 1/2 months. She loves them, and is now 10 months and eats a small egg everyday as part of her breakfast. Are the allergies going to appear 1-2 years from now, or what? Because so far, I cannot escape a tantrum unless I fix her a scrambled egg in the morning.

All the "I'm a bad mommy comments", please foward them to:

I was at the park today-- my son is 2 1/2, this other kid (same age) hit him. his mom would say 'no hitting' but the kid kept on hitting my son and other kids. I had my son come sit with me for a while, and when he went back out, the kid hit him again. after a few more times, his mom put him in time out. all she said is "dont do that" and she had in the stroller for like 20 minutes......

thats NOT hot to give a time out!!! you have to say "DO NOT HIT" and put them in there for about 5 minutes.... after 5 minutes, they will pretty much forget why they're there, and they'll find a way to amuse themselves......

I want to talk to the kid myself, but I know it's not my place. besides tattle on the obvious, what can i do??

btw-- i know "they're only two"......dont give me that.

When I got married I heard a lot of people say things like:

"Marriage will ruin your life"
"Do you really want to be with just one person forever?"
"Everyone ends up divorced so why bother?"

I don't regret marrying, I am happier now than I have ever been!

People also bash children by saying:

"Children will just ruin your marriage, you wont have any time together!"
"Children just cause to much stress on a marriage!"
"Do you really want to give up all your freedom for 18 years?"
"You can forget about doing having any time to yourself ever again!"

We plan to start a family anyways, we still believe in love and children!

Why are so many people negative about the most wonderful things in this world like marriage and children????

I'm a new nursing mother, my daughter is 7months old. She first bit me awhile ago and out of pure shock I tapped her on the forehead (I didn't even mean to). But, even after we both freaked out- she still bites me sometimes! I've tried taking her off when she does it but that doesn't always work because by that time she's already satisfied. I've tried being stern but she just thinks I'm playing and giggles at me! Any advice? My poor nipples can't handle it anymore!

Is there anyone out there with an autistic child? I have a 9 year old boy with autism and learning difficulties. He doesn't speak and i'm trying hard to toilet train him.

I also have a 'normal' five year old who sometimes finds it hard to understand.

It would be nice to know there are other people out there in a similar situation.......

My almost 4 month old daughter is beginning to break out in little red spots on her forehead. I remember her getting baby acne when she was about a month or so but it was all over her face, not just one area. Last time I called the Pediatrician for this they said to take a wet wash cloth and blot her face with it a couple of times and it'll clear up (it took another month but it did finally clear up). Can baby acne come back? What age does it usually stop? I can't tell if this is acne or possibly a rash.

I just got married last month and my period was messed up. I had heavy flow on the 1st and last day of my period and didnt do much inbetween those days....that was most likely from all the stress. Now for the past two weeks my breast have been tender off and on. I've also been have frequent heartburn as this is unusual for me. I had been very sleepy until I started taking a multivitamin and that has improved....I had thought maybe I could be pregnant because my breast have never felt the way the have these past two weeks.....Last night I started having some brown discharge only when I wipe.....My period should be due anyday but its hard to tell since it was so messed up last month...I took a HPT today and it was negative....I mean if I am I am and if not that is alright too beacause it would be nice for my husband and I to get settled before having a baby. Thoughts and opinions would be greatly appreciated. Sorry this is so long.

When my son was 6mts, we moved in with my husbands parents. Their son (my brother-in-law) is 12, and has disorders, and he can not control his behavior. He yells and screams, and is very rude. My inlaws do NOT disipline him cause he wont listen. Now my son is 3, starting a new preschool, and is taking toys away from other kids and he is hitting and bitting, and also wont listen. My husband and I have tried everything that we can think of to help our son to understand that this behavior is not good. But he wont listen. My son looks up to my brother-in-law. I just could use some advice on what we could do to get this behavior he has picked up corrected. We have limited the amount of time our son spends with his uncle and grandparents, could this be a way of acting out cause we wont let our son see them? Some advice please, for a first time mother!!
