Hi!
I am 33 years old with a 3 year old boy, Jason and another son, Cody on the way in Jan. I have people say that I am a "bad" mom becuase my son has never been away from us. We do not have any family in the town we live in. Our nearest family we have is 4 1/2 hours away. He only sees my parents 4-6 times a year and maybe 1-2 times a year for my husband's parents who live almost 11 hours away. As far as my husband's family is concerned, I don't trust my inlaws at all. My Mom-in-law left my son in his stroller by him self when he was 6 weeks old alone in his stroller. So I don't allow her to be by her self with any of my kids what so ever. I don't care how old they are.
We don't have any friends that have kids his age. And we don't know a soul who could babysit. So, we just take him with us where ever we go. I have tried to put him in my Gym's daycare. But, he freaked out so bad that I stopped going to the gym. He dosen't do well on his own.

I'm a step father to 2 children, the oldest is 16 (I've helped raise her since she was 9) and for the last 3 years she's gone overboard lazy about school. Her report cards went from A's and B's in elementary to mostly C-'s, D's and F's. She's now a sophomore in High School but is off to another bad start. I've tried talking to her, taking away freedoms, offering incentives ($25 an A, $15 for B, $0 for C, D's and F's she owes equivalent of A and B) but nothing is working.

Part of the situation is that I work far from home and am only there on the weekends. Not much time to help with homework but I'm in constant communication with my wife. I'm hoping there might be some suggestions out there that might get through to her that she's really throwing away her future now by not applying herself in school.

My girls are 4 and 5. I have gotten rid of everything. I am now 25 weeks pregnant and decided that I better go shopping, so i put a crib,stroller,playpen,swing,bouncer on layaway. I am not going to be having a babyshower and wondered if I should try to get help with buying these things. I only have 2 months to pay it off, and all the stuff is about $400.00. (it is at walmart) Do you think it would be rude to send out a card to all saying something like... Baby boy on the way, stuff that is needed is on lawaway at walmart if you would like to help out? bla bla bla? Is that ok or rude to ask for help? what do you think?

I was 2 months late and then all the sudden started to bleed very heavily for 1 day. Then it stopped as quickly as it started. I have been having a brownish discharge for a couple weeks now. I took 4 pregancy test and been to 2 doctors. One doctor said I was pregnant the other said I wasn't. 1 of the test came up positive too. I have been extremely fatigued lately and can't seem to get enough sleep. Could I be pregnant or is it something else? I don't know what else to do. I need all the help I can get.

My husband and I were both raised catholic, but are not catholics now. We are having our first child and would like to honor our best friends by asking them to be "Godparents". Mostly a symbolic gesture. Is Godparents the right term or is there a modern day version of this relationship besides legal guardian?

He will be a year old on Wednesday. He's been sick for a week now. I took him to the Dr the other day and they said it's just a common cold, runny nose, and cough, no fever or ear ache or sore throat. But he won't stop crying. He's constantly at least fussing if not screaming. It doesn't help to hold him, I've tried to give him food (in case hes hungry) but he doesn't want it, and he doesn't want his sippy cups either. (On, a side note, he is eating and drinking fine, its just that those don't help him to calm down)

I don't know what is wrong with him...he's NEVER been like this before...not even when he was an infant. What's wrong with him and what can I do?

I recently read an article that stated that there is now a link between breastfeeding and conceiving twins. They say that you are more likely to release two eggs during ovulation if you're breastfeeding. Has anyone else heard of this connection?? I have twins that run on my mothers side of the family like crazy, plus I'm still breastfeeding my daughter....therefore I'm curious if now the risks are even higher that I'd end up pregnant with twins.

I am 23 years old and all I can think about is having a baby. I am almost financially ready and I love my bf and we've been together for a long time. I know it's best to wait to have a baby since my bf already has a son with his ex and isn't ready for another one but I'm baby crazy and I really want a baby. Anyone have ideas on how I can get having a baby out of my head?

How far along were you? For those who chose to find out. And if you did -- how many could not tell because of the babies position. I am getting my ultrasound next week and I will be four and a half months pregnant. Whoo Hoo--- I really hope we can tell
Thanks so much!
