he came to the apartment i was staying the week at with my uncle and my nephew. he came home from school and walked into the apartment. i was sitting in the kitchen with my two cousins. my nephew domonique stared at me, dropped his backpack, and ran to the room he was staying in. i walked back there and knocked on the door. he yelled for me to come in. he was laying on his bed in tears. i asked him what was wrong and he told me i'm scared. i asked him why and he said the man with the gun. the thing is he said that the man with the gun was the man that had killed his father (my older brother). i asked him where he saw the man and he said he was in a truck in the front of the school watching him and his three friends. i told my uncle and my uncle is keeping him home from school and inside the apartment. we contacted his mom and told her and is coming to go pick him up. but she doesn't have a man in the house to protect her and domonique if a man comes in.

When my ex husbands child support was set over 8 years ago, he told the judge that he was out of work at that time, so his child support was set based on minimum wage. I was never aware until years later that in Texas, child support can be reviewed every 3 years and if the non-custodial parent is making more, their child support amount would be raised. Considering that I only get $200.00 a month, and because he won't keep medical insurance on my son, I decided to file for a review by the Texas Attorney Generals office, because I was told that they do it for free and I would just have to pay a private attorney to do it for me. Well, that was over 6 months ago. I have called numerous times, being on hold for at least 15 minutes each time, and I keep getting the run around. "That case is being reviewed. Call back in a week or so." That is what they have said. The last person though, said that my case had not even been touched since I first filed. Have they done this to anyone else?

She has two teeth coming in at the bottom, she just started teething about a week ago. And one of them is about to break through her gums. Could this be why she wakes up at 10pm, 3am, or 5am, when she has been sleeping through the night since she was three months old??? Is there anything I can do that will help? I'm losing a lot of sleep and so is she, how can I help her stay comfortable while she is sleeping?

I have no reason to believe there is any sort of abuse involved with this, but I just have to ask if it's normal. The child was not premature and weighed 7 lbs (? ounces) at birth. I casually asked the mom what percentile the baby was in and her answer was "oh, I don't remember". I DO know it's the youngest of 3 children and the first to be breastfed and I know the other 2 children were not this small. I'm sure the mom is taking this baby to the pediatrician for it's regular check ups, she's not a neglectful mother, but I can't for the life of me figure out why this baby is so tiny! It's driving me nuts. My first thought was that it's not getting it's calories in the breastmilk but there's just no casual way to bring this up to the mom. We work together in daycare. Anyone else have a child this tiny?

The answer I got from him was nothing we didnt eat lunch. So being the involved, concerned parent I am I called one of his friends mothers and told her to ask her son the same question. She got the same response. At that point I called the school and explained to them what my concern was (he said he didnt eat lunch, so I was trying to find out if their was a problem in cafeteria? I didn't make any accusations towards anyone at the school, i was just concerned. Toward the end of the evening yesterday the situation was resolved w/my son and he said "Oh yeah I remember we had spagetti for lunch", I forgot. I reminded him upon the advice of the schhol secretary. Told her what the outcome was this morning. When I picked my son up fm school today he said the principle told him he cant go on the fieldtrip tomorrow because he lied to his mother at home. Now the field trip was part of an in school program that if your child is a good student they are considered excellent eagle.can she do that?

I have a good friend whom is breastfeeding her 8 week old baby. She also pumps and leaves a bottle of breastmilk for me to feed her, when she is away.When I keep the baby for the day, she drinks 11 ounces of breastmilk every 3 hours. She also does this if her dad feeds her a bottle. I know that the milk may flow faster from the bottle, but she isnt bothered by this. She keeps up, and lets go long enough to burp every 3 ounces. She is very content. She isnt gassy or fussy at all. So, this is okay, right? Also, she was drinking 4 oz. from a bottle at 1 week, and has basically added an ounce each week from there.

It all started when my son was 2. He had uncontrolable siesurzes which he was heavilly medicated for. After the siesures he started uncontrolable fits over little things. He is almost 10 now 5 years ago he went into kindergarden. Everything was good until he started Stealing form the other students and teachers constantly disturbing the class running around. For the least to say he failed kindergarden. the next year was the same. So he turned 7 his first time in 1st grade.cut it short he is still in 1st grade at almost 10. He is severe ADHD. From the time he turned 7 and still going on now. He has tried to SET FIRE to 1 apartment twice, our first house 2 or 3 times, our SUV once, our boat once.He steals lies pees on the floor bites holes in everything, is creul to animals fights He steals pencil sharpeners from school and makes weapons. He has been to 3 residental treatment centers. They say nothing is wrong. I fear that one night while we sleep he might hurt me. I feel this is right.

The other day I meet a couple who had just had their first baby a few weeks ago. They are in there mid 50's. How can this be right? I, as a mom, can understand wanting to have that feeling of becoming a parent. Of giving life to another being. Its incredible...BUT, is it fair to the child that his mom and dad could possibly miss out on beautiful moments...such as the daughter getting married and having her baby. The son getting married. Seeing them graduate college...whatever the moment is. These parents are going to cheat their kids out of som much. Yeah, yeah, yeah the parents while they are alive it will be great and they'll be loved very much I'm sure. But isn't it a little selfish? The child will grow up knowing that their parents could be dead before their life actually really truly begins (as an adult).

We have one daughter, and when I was pregnant with her, the doc calculated my date of conception. It was my birthday! A pretty memorable day, of course. My husband and I had gotten a hotel room, and after -ahem- sex, I rememberd thinking "gosh, I wonder if I got pregnant just then" and I had this nagging feeling that I had. Then just the other night, I got that same feeling. I got online later, and used a fertility calendar, and realized that it was most likely a fertile day for me. Crazy. So, its too soon to know if I am really pregnant. The chances are slim cuz I have a Mirena IUD, but who knows? Did any of you ever get that feeling?

I am currently 5 days & 1 day pregnant with my second child. With my first son my pants got tight around 8 weeks, I needed maternity clothes by 10-12 weeks.

Tthis time around has been something else! I am actually 10 lbs less then my pre-prego weight with my first... I am 5'4" & a size 6 (well was) I found out I was prego at 3.5 weeks... but this last week my pants just DON'T fit. I thought I was imagining it, but have had hubby & the neighbor look. Also I have actually lost a pound. I know my uterus is still super tiny right now, but is this normal? Twins don't run in any part of my family.

I feel totally embarrased wearing maternity pants yet, but I simply can't wear my other pants & am not gonna by bigger ones to wear for a few weeks.

I just ordered a Bella Band cause a friend suggested it to me.
