Your mom offers to take the kids over night - Harray!
You spcifically tell her not to take your kids around her husbands dog, who has bitten people in the past, ( including yourself! 120 lbs Rought)
She does it anyway! She slips and accedentally tells you how the dog licked your sons face. I'm furious!
What would you do?

My 6 year-old son has had a fever of 106 for the past two and a half weeks.

The school kept sending him home.

I was giving him cold baths in the morning to cool him off and trick the teachers.

It worked for a couple days but then he started passing out.

So I've got him at home and I'm home-schooling him.

I gave him some chicken noodle soup, just like the song.

It worked for a day, but now he's vomitting all over the place and I just got new carpet.

What's up with my son?

I have been very fortunate to be able to stay home with my daughter for the first year of her life. Financially we can not afford it anymore and I have an opportunity to go back to work where I was employed before my daughter was born.

I've been looking into daycares and I have found one that I am in love with. I'm going through the application and they want a $50 registration fee which will also be due every Sept. and my daughter's social security number. Do most daycares require the $50 registration fee, I haven't come across one yet that does and why would they need her social security number?

I need to buy a gift for a friend who just had a baby a few days ago. I assume that there are some things that a brand new mommy would be desperate for right off the bat... I just need to know what those are! Please help!

I don't like pulling her shirts and onesies over her head, side snaps are so nice but all i can find is 0-3 months. Im looking for a package of 4 or 5 rather than just one shirt. Gerber sells them at Walmart but they only go to size 0-3 months.

fathers fam has always been halfass abt my son but i always tried to be freindly with them. when i met my current partner he said i need to stop contact w/them to let them do the work in having a rel w/my son which i have done. i guess in a way i just feel bad for my son b/c it is awkward to have parents that dont talk. my parnter says i need to just tell my son that his dad wasnt nice to me & thats why we dont talk. its a touchy issue but i know that if i want an improved bond w/my son i need to be truthful but i dont wnt to come across nasty eithier. i would find it easier to be friendly w/the dads fam as opposed to having animosity but i know they really used me and are more into themselves.they havent made any effort really to talk to my son after i stopped having my son call them. its very hard to have children w/people u dint love when you are young! my partner thinks b/c of my guilt i can be a bad parent at times.its very hard as i have made many mistakes having babe @ 19 yrs.

My hunny just had his vas reversal surgery last Friday. He was in an incredible amount of pain - don't ask me how he's pulled this one off but he wanted to have intercourse by day 2. How soon after will sperm return? He states that he has the worst pain of his life ejaculating. Will it be this way forever for him? We're still trying. What is the record time limit a woman became pregnant after her man had a vas reversal done I wonder?

My son will be 21soon. He totaled out his 1992 Truck, thank God he is alive and that is all great . I co-signed for his new 2005 PT Cruiser and he made 6 payments and then defaulted and naturally I got stuck with the payments and just couldn't handle paying for three New cars on my income. So I sold it. I told him I would give him my 2006 Mazda Tribute if he gets a job and keeps a job. Now he has a girlfriend that neither works or has a car. I never give up the Ship, but damn, what in Hell goes on in the mind of a teenager? I'm really fed up at this point. He hasn't even been home for three days, no calls damn he could be dead in ditch somewhere God Forbid...any advice from other parents with similar adolescent problems? I also suggested once he join the Airforce like I did when I was his age, but he doesn't want to do that so I'm out suggestions.

I've had my daughter completely weaned off of breastfeeding for about 8 days now and I'm still very lumpy and it's very painful. How long does this take to go away? I did the weaning gradual- eliminating 1 feeding over a few days. And the last week I was down to only the before bed feeding.

My husband and I went to the movies the other night. We saw Jackass Number 2. We looked over and seen that this woman brought her kids. Ages ranged from 4-10. 3 boys.

They were showing horror previews and the content of Jackass WAS NOT appropriate for them to watch! I can't believe the movie theater let the woman in there with those kids. The youngest couldn't have been much older than my daughter. He had to have been between 4-5 years old. I was outraged, so was my husband!

Would you ever let your child in to see a movie like that?

I'm only about five weeks preggo, by the way, but I've been having panic attacks like crazy.

If I can't take anything for them, is there some hope that it will go away once I hit the 12 week mark?

I'm pumping exclusively (breastfeeding didn't work for us)...Is there any reason why my baby (4 weeks old) shouldn't be drinking cold breastmilk? I've tried giving it to her right out of th fridge, and she doesn't seem to mind whether it's cold or room temp.

Also, do any other pumpers have any general pumping/storage tips to share?

Thanks!

My son will turn one next thursday. He has gotten to the point to where when he doesn't get his way he will throw tantrums. I'm talking about lying on the floor and kicking and screaming. If hes in a better moood he will just simply hit me instead of the floor. This is getting out of control and I try to tell him this is wrong but I still live with my parents and they make him think this behavior is acceptable. I'm only 18 and don't really have my feet on the ground good enough to move out but something has to give. I've asked them to listen to me and not allow this but they do anyway. Any suggestions on what I should do?

I am TTC and I just had what I think to be implantation bleeding yesterday and today. I am on "day 37" and wondered if that sounded right, cycle wise? Wouldnt that be pretty long cycle? I dont know what my cycles are because I was on the pill for so long.
