My 3 year old has been in daycare for about 3 months now. I drop her off at 7:00 am and pick her up at 6:30 pm. I know it's a long time, but I'm a single mom and have to work. Anyway they have a rule that the kids must wear shoes and socks at all times even while sleeping, sandals are not permitted. Their reasoning is if there is a fire they will not have time to put shoes on all the kids. When my daughter gets home her feet are quite sweaty from having shoes on all day. Is your child’s daycare like this? Is this common with most of them? I can understand them needing to wear shoes, but I think they should be about to take them off while sleeping if they choose. What do you think?

I'm doing some research for a project and I want to gather some information. What aspects of your baby stroller do you hate, love, want, could do without? Be very specific if you can. Please take your time, I value your answer very much.

For the last few days ive been thinking i could be pregnant. i am currently 4 days late. But im not ready to test yet. I want my hubby to be here, hes out of town working until tomorrow. Anyways so for the last two nights i had this strange on and off pain right below my belly button that went straight down to the top of my pelvic bone. my nipples are really sensitve but i wouldnt call them sore. They have also "popped" out. This morning when i was getting ready for church, my face GLOWED! It was awesome. I even chose not to wear makeup it looked so flawless. Does this happen with pregnancy? Ive heard of people and oily skin and people breaking out, but it was just so smooth and it looked beautiful? Im kinda confused on this one! THANKS!

My guy friend and I have unprotected sex. I had sex with him on 10/8 which was 2 days after I went off my period. Then we had sex on 10/15. BTW - we both have busy schedules so we don't see each other alot. Yesterday and Today, I've been having a brownish-reddish discharge. I'm concerned b/c my parent normally starts and the end of each month on the 1st few days on the month.

Could it be a possiblity that I'm pregnant or I got a STD. Those are my main concerns. I cant get mad a no one but myself for not using protection.

How to make him see me as more than a friend?
I think I am starting to develop a crush on my best friend. he treats me better than any other guy does, he is my hero, and is my confidant. I love him for everything he has done for me. If it wasn't for him my life would be horrible. What should I do to make him see that I like him more than a friend?

Lexapro, Buspar and Xanax

If so, what was your experience with them and the effects on your baby? I'm not pregnant yet (I don't think) and am scared that I may not be able to be pregnant and take these meds at the same time. My doctors have said that I should be fine, but I would like to hear from real women that have taken these meds and been pregnant at the same time. Thanks!

Do you start at the first sign of spoting or when the actual flow starts? What if you miss the first day do you have to wait another month?

I went into premature Labor at 29 Weeks & they stopped it so the little guy could gain some weight. I've walked around & tried everything I know... he won't come! I heard Caserol Oil is VERY harmful to me & baby. I don't want that recommendation!

daughter seems to have took over the raising of my child, and I have been put out in their guest house to live, so I am wondering if I should just fade away, and like move some place else, and let them take care of my son, knowing they could give him a better life than ever I could, or if I should fight for custody of him, knowing I would likely lose in any event? And please be nice, without any comments on my lack of morality! I know I have been bad, so PLEASE do not go rubbing it in! I feel badly enough with out that. Thanks!

I have a six year old boy, Can be the sweetest thing when he wants to be but when he doesnt get his way will throw HUGE temper tantrums including biting his siblings (both girls), throwing toys/furniture, colouring walls and even swearing. He is a middle child. I have even tried giving him more attention only to have made things slightly worse. My methods of punishment that AREN'T working are time out, taking away privledges like friends or tv, even refusing him dessert. I know children will be children and act inappropriate at times but it seems as he gets older hes becoming more aggressive. Any ideas? My other option was taking him to a specialist but I only wish to use that as a last resort. Be aware there are some more behavioural issues I havent mentioned and wish not to disclose.

about the commercials we see on tv. I have my little one year old daughter crawling by the tv while a commercial about the movies saw, friday the 13th etc are on (two in a row) How is it that we can't show a butt crack on tv, or a set of breasts, but any gorry, voilent stuff is okay. What can I as a concerned parent do to make a change. I don't want to see all that violent stuff either, and please don't tell me to turn off the tv, I see this stuff while watching comedy or other non-violent stuff, so it is not my choice.Are any other parents feeling the same way, is it congress I need to write or what can I do, please give advise
