My youngest daughter will be 10 weeks old tommorrow. She is still in the hospital, she weighed under 2 pounds when she was born. Doctors say she will be out in 2-4 weeks.

My older daughter is going to be 3 the first week in January. She was really excited to have a sister when she was first born, but now that she has been in the hospital this time and I have spent just about all of my time with her at the hospital my oldest has changed her mind totally. She did love going to see her sister now she wants nothing to do with her and she says she doesn't want her to come live with us ever because she hates her and wants it to just be the 2 of us again. She is a very smart almost 3 year old she knows all of her abc's, counts over 100, learning to read, spell you name it.

How do I bring the new baby into the picture without her having all of this hate? I even tried telling her once a week we could spend time together just the two of us at the park or something she still HATES the idea!

My daughter has gone to all the practices and all the games. She is a solid player (made all star team for 8 yrs. straight). But she has only played 10 minutes in 3 games (not even in her normal position, goalie, but they put her in forward!!!). What should I do?

I have a six year old daughter whom I love dearly. He left us. Now, almost 7 years later, I am pregant, and very happy about it. I don't know if this guy will stick around or not. I am ok with either as i am 30+ and have a great life. I am pleased, although surprised to have another baby.

How should I tell grandparents? They are very old school and will ask all sorts of questions that will bring me down and ask about the dad. If they put guilt on me, i will get up and walk out. I was thinking an email. Let them absorb it and tell them I want to talk to them when they can be positive as this is good news.

What do you think?

I had a home test and a doctor urine test. Both very postive in the middle of the day. Period is a little late, and I have had pms symptoms for over a week. Sore busts, moody, emotional, increased sense of smell, and cramps. I don't feel sick and am in happy shock about the doctor's news.

I don't want to tell everyone if he is wrong. What are the chances the two tests are wrong?

Well my daughter had a high fever last night and when she woke up she has bite like things on her face and legs. I think it may be chicken pox a friend of mine who comes by often her son just had them so I believe she got it from him. Well anyways I had them when I was a child and I heard that if you were pregnant and you already had them before you were okay but if you hadn't had them you shouldn't be around them? Is there any percaustions I should take?

I had no problems with my last pregnancy and my mother never had problems. My auntie had 3 kids in her 40's. We are healthy and I don't expect any problems. So should I just tell them now? I really want to!

What is your view on spanking?
Do you spank your children?
If not, why and what do you do for discipline?

then the baby is 2 weeks along, right? If I am looking at one of those pregnancy week by week books, would I be checking out the 5th week or the fourth, since I just finished my 4th week. Or am I just starting my 4th week?

I am so flipping confused! If anybody could help me I would be so appreciative. My LMP was sept. 21 2006.

I know everyone will say GO TO THE ER and GO TO MY DR. WEll I'v been 4 times in the last week. They can't stop the leaking. They have taken me off work and put me on bed rest and will be re-checking in an ultrasound every week. My next appointment is next Tuesday. That's ALL they can or will do.

If your child gets in trouble at school do they get in trouble at home as well....

Last week my daughter got introuble for pushing another boy..I had her right a apology letter to the boy and the teacher....I believe teachers do not get as much respect as they use to.......I feel it is my job to make sure my daughter understands that she must respect rules at home and at school....

What do u think about the school issues of teachers and respect?
