Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 October 2006

He goes from person to person annoying the hell out of them and it is obviously my week for him to annoy me. He keeps sitting next to me staring at what I do on the PC, reading my IMs out loud. Every time I tell him to go away he either hits me or says "shut up" and stays where he is. Then he starts climbing on me. My laptop has to stay in the living room. My mom is ignoring him. What do I do??? He keeps telling me to make him food, open drinks for him, do this, do that, and if I don't, he yells until my mom DOES notice, and she looks down on me for not doing those things for him. I'm really losing patience! (I am 17 he is 8).


Should I just spank him? How exactly do I keep him down and how many times/what do I spank with?

I was at the supermarket and this lady was p ulling at her kid by some harness like it was some dog. She would yank the leash and yell at him. Why are people like that?

Some parenting books written by christians say its the best way to do it, mainly because the hand is for love not hitting. The beleif is they will not fear your hand unless the paddle is in it. I was wondering if anyone else agrees.

I have eight year old twins who I would love to take to a haunted house, but I don't want it to give them nightmares. I can't remember how old I was when I first went to a haunted house. The kids would love to go, but I don't know if they are really ready to. What do you think?

i ask this because the UV rays are harmful for a baby's eyes, and some times even with a hat on and with the strollers canopy, still the sun gets in my baby's eyes
i want to protect her eyes from sun damage, but i have never seen baby sunglasses...
please, don't insult my question, i know it may sound a little goofy, but i was just wondering... if they make such thing, and if they do, where can i get them?
THANK YOU ALL!

Ok... I nursed him until he was 16 months old... then only stopped because I was 8 months pregnant and could not fit him on me because my stomach was too big with the baby (seriously..LOL It was kinda funny) Now, that was in Jaunuary, baby was born in February, and all the sudden (the last 2 weeks) my two year old has been wanting to nurse. He puts his hand down my shirt saying "I eat" Now, obviously I stop him, tell him no no and don't nurse him, but does anyone know why after 10 months of him not nursing, AND him watching his brother nurse for nearly 8 months with no problems he would all the sudden want to nurse again? I thought we were going to have this problem when the baby was born, not almost 8 months later... Thanks!

My 8 year old daughter has got her three friends over. Earlier I gave them all one candy and said that was it. (because obvious they will go crazy if more sugar) I came upstairs and left them to play. They climbed up on the counter and took the candy down and ate it all. Then they took macaroni and threw it at the ceiling to make it stick. Well......I made them all clean my daughters room (my daughter too) and then sent them over to my neighbours house. I then felt bad because they were just having such a good time...and kids don't think about how dumb that kind of stuff is. So I let my daughter go to my neighbours house with them, but told her no sleep over. (lol get them hopped up and send them to the neighbours...oh well) Any suggestions on how to handle that situation next time they are treating my house like garbage?

I'm TTC, i'm 14 days late for period. Tonight I noticed when I sit down I get a cramp/ache in my right side, just a lil bit above the hip, what is that? Could that be a sign of pregnancy? Just wondering.

I like for my kids to have their shoes on during the day, does anyone else do this or know anyone that does? If you do at what age?

2006-10-14 16:07:54 · 6 answers · asked by ....... 3 in Parenting

by this i mean, for example, being able to seat on the floor or in a playpen, without the help of a boppy pillow or a Bumbo sit.
thank you!

I found out im having a boy. we like malachi, but cant think of a middle name? please help us with that.
Also do you find yourself so stress out woring that something might go wrong with the baby. im 20 weeks and when i went to my ultra sound im thinking that everything is wrong. i keep on looking at the pitures thinking that the baby doesnt have any legs or other stuff ( i can see the legs but not so clear ab out the feet ). could his feet be hiding or maybe i just cant see it> This is my forth preg. i had two miscarrages and lost twin boys after birth. what can help not to make myself so stress out. my husband tells me everything looks good to him. I will be perfectly happy with a baby no matter what the health is. but im just concern that there might be something more wrong with my baby.
I wont see my doctor until the end of the month to find out about the ultrasound. Let me know what helped you to be less stresssful about everything

I heard my daughter and her friends talking about shopping and whatnot, and two of her friends come from wealthy families. They were talking about how much money their parents give them to waste on clothes and shoes, and they took pride at the fact that they were spoiled. I'm baffled...those kids were bragging about their maids and how they look down on "poor people". Are wealthy parents so stupid that they teach their kids that they're better than everyone else?? Since when is it "cool" to be spoiled like Paris Hilton??

He seems to be more into blowing raspberries, looking around and playing with my breast then nursing.. Its cute, but I am getting concerned that he is not gettting enough milk. I know I make enough, its just a matter of getting him to pay attention long enough to nurse well.
