I need help. Almost a week ago I asked a question if it was ok to lock my child in his room and almost everyone said no way and thought I was crazy. So after feeling horrible I stopped looking his door this week. Now he is staying up until 12 pm each night and still waking up early at 6 am. I pick him up and put him back in bed but he just keeps coming out. OR.. he falls asleep for an hour wakes up and we go thru the same process again. Now he is so sleep deprived that he is acting horrible and getting into everything, I am totally stressed out and tired (I also have a newborn that wakes up at night) and don't know what to do.
Also.. when I locked the door I unlocked it after he was asleep.
What do I do to keep him in bed? Will this ever end?
He also is not taking naps. I am SO STRESSED OUT!
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and offer suggestions or help. I know it will help me. thanks.
Also, we have fire alarms and I have a baby monitor in my sons room, its safe

I don't get them for myself, and I find it very wrong to give them to my child. I'm now 13 weeks pregnant and I have to decide before he/she is born. I want to sign a waiver at the hospital avoiding all vaccinations for religious purposes (though that's not truly the reason, I just don't agree with them). Has anyone else done this? Is it wrong? Need some opinions here.

I started my cycle on Dec.27th and it ended on Dec.29th. Me and my husband are going to try to have a baby so I didn't start my new pack of pills. It is now Jan.2nd and I have lite cramping. I'm not suppose to ovulate until Jan.10th.
For a couple of months I was already feeling pregnant and we did several tests and they were negative.

What is going on?

Instead of having my regular hard bleeding this month i got 6 days and still going of brown blood and not a whole lot at all..I never got my regular killer cramps, which is odd because every month since i was 12 i have had harsh cramps. My period last month was normal. There could be a possible pregnancy because right before my reg. period last month we had a opps! , but what does brown clot blood usally mean? thanks in advance

My husband is in school right now and I stay home with two kids ages 1 and 2. I also do adult foster care for a DD individual and earn some money for that. To say the least, my time is limited -- or at least interrupted quite frequently. I have tried to sell on Ebay, but after all the listing and paypal fees and the actual amount of time I put in, it was not financially worth it for me. (It could be I think if items were worth more that I was selling...) I am looking to try and supplement our income by about $1000 per month. Daycare would not work for me due to having the Developmentally Disabled individual with us -- he requires frequent transpotation to doctor visits, etc, and our car would not be big enough. I have also tried to cut our bills down, but it seems we still cannot make ends meet, and our credit card bills are ourtrageous! I also do not want to do the "party" type of selling like Mary Kay or Home Interiors. Any ideas, success stories, etc. would be appreciated!!

i'm seeing my doctor tomorrow, so i'm not looking for answers like "go see your doctor." i'm just wondering what the possible reasons could be for a sudden gush of blood, then light spotting for a few days afterwards. i haven't had any pain. i've had 2 blood tests since, and my hcg level has gone up. what could this be? thank you for any info.

Hey yall I'm about 3 months pregnant. I was told to use Vitamin E lotion as soon as I notice that my clothes are getting a little tight. But I've been using lotion anyways. Sooo what I'm asking is....what types of lotion did you ladies use during pregnancy? Did it actually work? Thanks!

I just found out that I am pregnant (Yay!). Which I am thrilled to no end about. I called my family after I told my husband and he called his. Well his mother has called me everyday since asking how I was feeling and telling me to let her know when I wanted and we could go baby shopping, asking if she could go to doctors visits with me, telling me that she "gets atleast a day a week with the child, that would only be fair", and just being a down right pest.
I know she means well, and it doesn't help that my husband is the oldest of him and his only brother. But I am already tired of her and I hate to be b*thcy, but I want to look forward to this wonderful event without interference of an overly zealous inlaw.
Any suggestions on how I could deal with this without adding unnessisary stress?

I have a rare nerve condition and fertility problems seem to be common with women with the same condition. Anyway, after seein a gynae and having tests, things came back 'normal' not early menopause, eggs in ovaries, hormone levels as they should be etc etc. However, since I miscarried 2 years ago, I've only had 2 periods. (hence tests etc) I was wondering if anyone had experienced similar fertility problems and if so, what should I expect? Is there anything that I can do myself also, to increase ovulation?

My daughter was on an perscription for a bad cold. The medicine gives her the runs twice a day. Sometimes I dont even know she went that is how loose it is. But now she is getting a diaper rash. The medicine is now done. I have been putting destine on her and cleaning her very well. Even changing her more than I normally do to keep her dry. But it is not getting better is there anything else I can do for her?

We want to buy sophisticated looking furniture for our new home living room but need it to be child-friendly. What wears well, is not fragile and cleans easily? This is our only entertainment area of the house so the kids will use it as well! Tell me the pros and cons of what you have in your home....

we have a daughter who is 5 and her little friend comes over and she always has marks on her arms.I asked her what happend?..she says her daddy puts a hot fork on her cause he was mad.I asked the father if that were true and he says yes.I said what do you do?..He said that when he was a boy his father would put a fork under a flame and make him watch to see the fork get red hot.Then he would brand him on the arm when he did something wrong.He said he learned not to do it again.

This is a strange question, and I can't find anything on the WWW. I was changing my 7 month old and noticed he has really light blond pubic hair on his scrotum. It's relatively long but almost invisible because it is very blonde (all my kids are very blonde).
I have two older boys and never noticed this on either one of them...the middle child is two and he is absent of hair in that area.
The baby is a big kid, off the chart in height and in the 90th for weight. Could this be a sign that he has a hormone imbalance? Or am I just paranoid...of course I will be asking the doctor, but I'm curious if anyone else has had this with their kids.

Im waiting for my doctors office to call me back.. my doctor is out of the office (as usual) and his replacement is swamped, so they are being really slow. I figured since people answer so quickly on here, I would ask this.
This is my second pregnancy.. and I dont remember anything like this with my first. I started having braxton contractions at about 4 pm last night.. really random, no pattern.. but really painfull. They slowly went away and were replaced by a constant pressure and pain on my cervix and abdomen. This constant pain would last for 20-30 minutes, then go away.. no gush of fluids, no blood.. although I did lose my mucus plug a week ago (something my doc said not to worry about.) It went on all night long... baby is moving.. so no worries there, but im really wondering what it could be. I know what labor felt like before.. and it doesnt feel like that.. but it hurts, ALOT. Any suggestions? Im hoping he calls me back quick.
