This is gross, I know it is...but I've just started having periods again after having 3 kids in a row...I've never talked to my friends about this...what do you do when you have just recently put a tampon in and then, you go....number two...(how embarrasing) I kind of half push out my tampon and then the whole area is just ....gosh....really gross....how do you handle this?? Take out the tampon? (it's almost just too early, though!!)

My niece was taken by Child Protective when she was a year old from my brother and his girlfriend (neglect, alcoholism, drug use). She has lived with me full-time until recently. My brother has gotten his act together, gotten married (not the bio mom - she is out of the picture), is employed full-time, etc. We worked out a plan to transition her back to him, and it seemed ok. I want visitation twice a month, he says once. Last weekend I had her. After returning her to my brother, she cried for me from 3 pm -7:30 pm. They called me and it broke my heart to hear her crying for me. They also punished her (time out) for "throwing a tantrum". I think if she is having this hard a time separating from me she needs to see me more, not less. I also think they need to be more loving while she is adjusting. How can I make him see this? They said they will get her a counselor (they seem reluctant and I am afraid they will change their minds) but the appt. is not for 2 more months.

My husband is a great father, dont get me wrong, but it seems like when either of our children need anything, ex:bath, washed up from snack, bed time That he always find something to be busy with, and or tells them to come to me. I wouldnt really give it up either, because i love the extra time with them, but when i ask him, he says its because i am better then him. I am wondering, is this so, have i ever said this to him before during an agruement. Or is this is way of coping out on his duties.

my baby girl is nearly 6 months old and believe it or not she has never really slept during the day at all even when she was newborn. She sleeps when in the car or taken out for a walk but the minute car stops or walk ends she starts to cry and wont fall back to sleep again. Is there anyway that I can get her to sleep for an hour or two during the day so I can rest or get some housework done. I follow Gina Ford as much as i can and she is fine with her feeding routine etc but refuses to rest in the day..... I would be so grateful if anyone out there can give me some good advice, Ive tried leaving her to cry in her cot but she only gets herself into a state and puts her into a bad mood the rest of the day. Thanks

We are expecting but don't know what we are having yet. We have already decided to continue the family tradtion (on both sides of our family) to use the middle name Lee (for a boy) or Leigh (for a girl). What names would you suggest for each?

We have 3 children, our youngest is four months old. My husband now wants to have a vasectomy but I want another baby. Does he have the right to go ahead with it, don't I get a say?

He is just sitting idle in the room watching tv all the time. Not trying to get settled in job or searching job. Any psychological ideas to make him active and on the job?
