My daughter is a little over two. In the summer we usually go to the park, zoo, etc. But now it is getting colder and she is bored being inside all day. What are some fun things I can do with her? Games, crafts, activities?

I'm currently pregnant with my second child.. Just when I thought I knew what it was all about I get told about Afterbirth pain with other labours (after the first, so second, third etc)
Is this true and if so, how painful can it be?
Eep,
Scared mummy.

I really want to have a nother baby, my son is 4 yrs old and i believe that i'm ready, i dream about babies all the time and i go nuts over seeing little babies in the grocery store. my only problem is, i think i may have endometriosis and i know this can cause infertility. i am only 23 and don't think i can handle a doctor teling me i can never have another child, it will absolutely devestate me. i love my son to peices and he deserves to have a sibling to grow up with. i feel like a failure as a woman. its always been my dream to have two kids and i feel that i'm being cheated. i loved being pregnant and want more that anything to experience that wonderful feeling at least once more time in my life - -scared and alone

How exactly do they induce labor? I know they give you some medicine but do they do anything else? I asked a friend of mine who was induced but she was so out of it she doesn't remember.

I am so excited, my son let go and started taking steps today! He'll do about 6 before he gets wobbly and falls down. It's adorable! He's 9 1/2 months old. My sister was walking his down the hall, letting him walk and she was holding him under the arms, and she let go to see what he would do. He stood there for a minute, and then took three little steps and fell down. After some coaxing, he did it again, and now he will go from one person to another, or from say, the chair to the coffee table on his own.

I want to hear about everyone else's babies, and when they took their first steps. Does anyone have any cute or funny stories they'd like to share?

My husband and I have different last names. We are planning on hyphenating our child's last name, as neither of us are comfortable with choosing one name or the other. However, our last names are /ahem/ long and thusly the child's last name will be very long. What would you do? Would you just grin and bear it and pick one last name for the child? Some family members and friends have said that it's mean(!) to give a child a long last name.

I have two teenage sons who are extremely lazy. I'm tired of coming off as the person always complaining and I'm fed up with yelling at them. There have to be better ways to get them to help.

I know a couple who has a young daughter, but one of the parents is ducking away from the cops, has a ton of warrents, is driving a car w/o a licence, & no insurance, the parent was in an accident about 4 months ago and didn't report it, and the person she hit is now trying to sue, and she got a letter saying that her licence is going to be suspended...but she still dirves.. the daughter is VERY young, and do to lack of care is missing her 6 front teeth on the top, and lives in a messy home. The other parent either doesn't care or is to scared to say or do anything, or thinks that everythings normal...

I want to do something, but I know I can't, it's just hard to see this happening to the little girl... is it right for me to be mad, and hurt, and scared for the little girl???

My son is almost 2, I am pregnant with our third, due in Feb, I've got two toddler beds and one crib. So I was planning on getting him into a toddler bed before Feb anyway but hadn't put much thought into it. But now my son has figured out how to get out of the crib, so I guess now would be a good time to start. My daughter is 4, I don't remember having a problem with her, she was so much more advanced and I was a single mother at the time so she had always slept with me in a real bed not a crib so moving her to her own bed was really easy. So even though he is my second I feel kinda clueless on how to go about getting him to start sleeping in a toddler bed. He was a premie and seems a little slower with his learning and I know that he will be up and down all night and that he will get into things quietly that we may not hear right away. I know a lot of kids do that. We block off most of the house with baby gates but now he can climb over those too. continued read on....

My son is 9 months and he keeps throwing himself back. If I tell him no try to sit him up...he throws his head back and has a fit. He screams and crys without the tears. I don't know what to do, but it gets so frustrating especially in public.

My son just turned one and I was told that it would be okay to start gradually trying to switch him from formula to whole milk, so yesterday I started adding 2 ounces of whole milk to 6 ounces of formula and he has been really crabby and fussy since then. It seems that he's gassy as well. Is this normal for just adding some whole milk and do they eventually adjust to it? Any advice would be great!!! He's not normally a fussy baby so when he cries or gets mad, there is always something wrong and that's the only thing I can think of since it seems to coincide with when I started the milk. I don't think he's teething right now.

When reading a question have you ever thought: the asker should have thought about the problem in question before it even resulted in a problem?

For example: “How can I stop my child from demanding a toy every time we go to the store?” Then in the details they explain how they used to get them a toy every time but now they want to stop. OR “How can I stop my two year old from swearing?” Then goes on to say they only swore around her until she started having a potty mouth.

It's questions like those that make me wonder if anyone out there is cautious and aware what they are doing now can and will positively or negatively affect the future.

Are there that many parents who think of consequences or their actions or am I alone on this?
