We live in Tennessee, so the weather is still nice. I have two daughters, the oldest turns 4 at the end of the month and one that is almost 21 months. They LOVE to play outside. I usually use Avon skin-so-soft bug guard plus. The blue kind that disappears. It is sunscreen plus bug repellent. But the past week they have been ate up by mosquitoes. Is there anything else that would work better?
I have used the disappearing stuff all summer, and it has worked , but now it isn't! Help, my kids look like they have chicken pox!

The word is COLLEGE. Not collage. Why on this Board are there so many young idiots who cannot spell that word correctly? Are you seriously the future of this country?

Is my boyfriends adult daughter too attached to her dad?

Hi. I've been dating this lovely man for about two years now. However his adult daughter seems not to think much of me. She's been cold to me for as long as I've known her. On the other hand I'm wondering if my boyfriends relationship with his daughter is a little bit too close. For ex.,





1. She's 25 yrs old and still calls her father daddy




2. They call each other every day and talk for about 30-45 minutes




3. She tells him everything




4. Her job requires her to be on her feet alot so she'll often come to her dad house and he'll rub her feet while they talk about their day.

I know what's going to happen, I've had a baby before I'm just so nervous because I was pregnant about 3 months ago and had a miscarriage. I'm afraid that when I go today they're going to tell me that I'm having another miscarriage. I'm just really nervous that I actually feel sick to my stomach which I have'nt felt sick this entire pregnancy so far. Do you think it's normal for me to feel this way? And what can I do to calm myself down?

I recently saw a question on here from a father concerned with his baby. To me it sounded as if he and the mother were no longer together. Anyway, he was just concerned and wanted advise on his baby's breastfeeding habits. (The baby would scream when the mother would try to nurse him) This poor father was attacked by so many women. They were telling him to mind his own business and don't question the mother. Doesn't he have every right to ask questions? This is his child after all. Shouldn't more men be involved like that?

My neighbor's cat seems to like us better. He's always sleeping on our front porch, meowing at the back door to let him in, and he even runs up and climbs on my lap when I'm outside. He's at our house every morning until it gets dark and then he disappears to the neighbor's house but he's right back on our front porch every morning. I don't think they're feeding him because he eats every bug he comes in contact with but I don't think they're negecting him because he's very clean (doesn't have fleas or anything like that) and seems very healthy. Can I keep him though? He seems to like us more than his real owners.

I have a 3 1/2 yr old and a 14 mo old. My 3-year-old insists on being carried around EVERYWHERE. My youngest only just started walking, so I think the eldest wanted to be carried because the baby was being carried around.

If we refuse to carry her, she has a huge tantrum and refuses to go anywhere until you return to pick her up. This means we carry her up the stairs in our own home, to and from the car to daycare, stores, etc.

Any advice on how to cure her of this? Thank you!

You know Tupperware that is like an accordian and they fold down to save space? Do they make bottles like this? We travel a bit, and it would save a lot of luggage space to pack a couple of those bottles instead of our daughter's regular bottles. If they have it, can you let me know where to buy them? If not, you're free to take my idea and run with it.

I am due to have my third baby the end of november. It hurts to stand up (especially at the end of the day) and the stairs kill me. It isn't a pressure, but rather like my bones are brused. Has anybody else experienced this? I have a doctors appointment soon, but I wanted to know if anybody other than her knows about this. I don't remember it with my first two.

I feel like I am having a girl. But it may be because my sister-in-law had a girl. She is 3 months old. I may just be picturing a baby girl because of her. We really want a boy. But everytime I talk about "it" I end up saying "her." We find out next Friday! Not a moment too soon.

I have a four year old girl who has an attitude problem. I think she thinks that she is 16 years old. She just started Pre-K and loves school. This year she is coming out of her shell and is shining- her class loves her. But, she is coming home like she is being spoiled at school and thinking she is the prima donna- thus acting like what she says goes and has an attitude problem when she doesn't get it. She even told me that she likes school better.

How would you deal with this? I am happy that she loves school, but she needs to get her attitude in check. Help!!

My sister is due Oct 23rd. (her Dr doesnt think she'll make it that long?) She has already dropped, lost her mucus plug and the baby only moves a couple times a day. She has also been very tired the past two days. (way more than usual) I think she may be showing signs of getting ready for labor. What do you think?

I just started yesterday...and I've felt sick all afternoon. Is this normal?

The side effects say some nausea may occur, but shouldn't because it has the lowest hormone dose out of all BC's. I was just wondering if anyone else had this problem and if it went away. I don't want to feel like this for the next month

I asked her about this,and she would not answer me-- she only complained that I was 'listening in' on her conversation.

Anyone ever hear of keeping a baby on formula until 15 mos? When I say this, I mean no cow's milk. And then starting cow's milk after 15 mos and no more then 6 oz. a day. Oh, also this person is allowed to give their baby 2% milk to start (not whole).
