me and my baby father has been going through drama for a year now( that's how long we been apart), and he wants our daughter to go over his house sunday(christmas eve) , but anyway I don't want her to go because he told my ma that when our baby cried over his house he just put her in the play pen and let her cry her self to sleep, so am i wrong for thinking about saying no? , he can come over here to see her though. Help!

I Just had a baby. He wants to be held 24/7. I tried feeding rocking nursing him to sleep. Every time I leave his side he cries. He'll even wake up and cry if he feels me get out of bed. He will only stop if I pick him up. What should I do? He is 4 weeks old today

Please dont judge me. I do hold him all the time and I love my son very much. Its just that I need to put him down sometimes even if its just to care for my daughter make dinner wash bottles or shower. If I could sleep a solid 2 or 3 hours at night that would make me very happy.


I am a human pacifier. He will not suck a regular pacifier. After nursing he just wants to keep going and going

My 3 year old daughter is getting sick (I think just a cold), no fever yet, just a stuffy nose and a cough here and there. I just had my son Dec 10th. What can I do to keep him from getting sick? I try to keep her from getting to close but I dont want her to feel like she can't be close to her baby, she loves him so much. What should I do?

I just found out baby #2 is on the way and I'm excited as can be. For my boyfriend though it is his first kid of his own and he is very, very nervous about all of this.

Since I'm older & wiser now (and the circumstances couldn't be better) I'm not even the slightest bit worried, especially compared to my first time around!

But for him this is a whole lifestyle change - he's worried about me staying healthy, he's worried about having good enough of a job to support a family, he's worried about how to tell our parents (we're not married, which we had planned to do eventually but not anytime soon!), and he's worried about anything else you can possibly imagine.

Any ideas on what I can do to help him feel better??!!?? Right now he's feeling more nausea than I am!!

Parents with adopted kids face this so I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on this.

I have seen that if you don't tell them until they're 18-20 or older, they'll think their life was based on a whole lie(some)

or if you tell them early in life they'll cry.

So to tell them or not tell them?

As for me I don't have kids. Just wondered what everyone's opinions are on this.

Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call.
The house was very, very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3 year old girl, to hold a flashlight high over her Mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed, and after a little while Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3 year old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, "He
shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place......smack his *** again!"

If you did not laugh at this one, there is no hope for you.
