Pregnancy & Parenting - 22 December 2006

She weighs only 21 lbs. Her clothes are all too big for her around the waist. An 18 mo size is too short but fits her around the waist. But a 24 mo size is just the right length but will not fit her around the waist. It falls right off of her. I gotta let her wear suspenders or a belt constantly or they fall off of her. If it wasnt cold out she could just wear short pants... lol.
I do have a hard time getting her to eat. She will barely eat anything. And before you tell me to take her to the doctor... I have. They think she is fine and is just going to be skinny. But I am still worried. She doesn't eat enough to feed a mouse.

My boyfriend has a kid. His baby's mom is saying now that she is moving in March and taking the baby with her. She has full custody and he pays child support. He doesn't want her to take him. What can be done? Does he have any legal right? Is there anything that can be done to stop her taking him away?

Someday I'd like to adopt a child or three with different races and cultures.

Is that ok?

Should I move to a multi-cultural city to decrease racism while the kid is in school?

Thanks

I just found out that I'm pregnant. But i have a huge problem I DO NOT have any health insurance. Does anyone know what I can go through without having to pay so much for my delivery? Can anyone tell me if it is wise to go with the Maternity Card?

Today is my first babysitting job. The kids are 15 months and 8 years old. The 8 year old is my brothers friend,and I have been playing with this baby since she was 5 months old. I don't think I should be nervous but I am. The 8 year old will be easy,but does anyone have ideas on how to entertain a 15 month old girl?

Im 35 and myself and my husband have been trying for a baby for 9 months with no joy. Ive had bloods taken several times at doctors and been told that I only ovulate ocassionally and weve been referred to a fertility clinic to be considered for clomid. Ive read a bit on it. Has anybody first hand experience of taking it.

If a child is only three years old and his grandparent doesnt punish him for mis behaving until the parents get home many hours after the child has done wrong. If you punish him then will he even understand what it is he is getting punished for?

This may be a little long............I may be overreacting a little, but for being a first time mom I dont really think that i am, we were at an in laws house last night and my half sister in law just loves our new baby, wants another one of her own, but can have one........so given she acts like when we come over its hers! Okay i dont have a problem with that, but last night she decides to go goo goo gaga and stick her fingers in my babys mouth for like 3 minutes playing with her, cuz my baby loves suckiing on her own fingers, am I nuts for thinking that is totally wrong and disgusting and way out of line.........I just felt like it was rude and uncalled for. I would like peoples comments. Thanks!!!

My son is 2, almost 3. He'll be 3 in March, 2007. I need some advice from other parents. I do not know what to do about his behavior issues.
He has violent temper tantrums 10 -12 times a day, for no reason whatsoever. He doesn't throw himself down on the floor. He bites, hits, and kicks other people. His father, his 1 year old sister, and me. Or, anyone else who is around. He is constantly screaming.
The fits last usually 45 minutes to an hour.
He was potty trained by age 1. Now, he refuses to go to the toliet.
He was also a very verbal child and knew a lot of words. Now, he refuses to use them. Instead, he uses baby noises or screams
all the time.
We have tried everything we can think of for discipline, but nothing works.
HIs behavior has got so bad, he was, recently kicked out of his daycare. They won't allow him back in because he seriously injured another child.
My husband and I have taken him to our doctor, but he says he's fine and that he'll out grow it.

Don't you think that choosing not to have kids is simply being responsible, especially if you cannot afford it? I am annoyed by people who think that you HAVE to have children or else you're selfish. Doesn't it seem like only financially well-off people can afford to have children?
