I am trying to be careful and stay away from them, but they are the head of the company, and it's not like I can ask them to go home, and I can't do my job from my house.... The other boss smokes a lot... And does it right at my desk, at the door, so if it is windy, it just blows right back onto my desk and right in my face. Should I just look for another job.... What would be someones advise, prefereably someone who has gone through this as well....

Does anyone know if I am more or less likely to get sick? My husband heard somewhere that with the baby and everything going on, that my antibodies would be higher to help me not get sick.... Has anyone heard of that before??? Please give honest feedback. I am going to the doctor on Friday, but wanted to have a little more information to work with until then.... Thanks!

I have a 6mo. and is teething really bad. I have to give her tylenol everynight before she goes to bed and sometimes during the day. I also give her baby oragel. She's not a big fan of cold teething rings or cold wash cloths, so s all that medicine safe?

I had to stop breast feeding about three weeks ago. Does anyone have any tips on how to get an infant to drink more formula at each feed. My daughter is 15 weeks old and will only drink 3-4 oz at each feed. She goes about 3 hours between feeds (sometimes less, sometimes more). If we try to stop the feed to burp her she gets upset and then will not take anymore afterwards. Even if we wait for a bit and try again. Any ideas or is this normal for her age?

When I have kids, I want their middle names to be Barbara and Gene (after my parents)
Does anybody know some good first names to go with them?

I don't like weird names or ones that people will have trouble pronouncing, but I don't like overused names either.

First time we met, she was independant and acted mature and she was sexy. Now that she is pregnant, she acts like a baby and dependant on me. She makes baby sounds and she coos. When she don't get what she wants she stomps her feet and fake cries like an infant. One time she put pigtails and she sucks her thumbs too! And when I was working in our office, she crawled on the floor and tried to sit on my lap. Sometimes I don't know whether to behave like a daddy or to a husband to her. I have to spoil her so she can be happy. I massage her feet, I massage her back, I scratch her back. I cook everything for her. I work cuz she on maternity leave. And she calls me at work. she says she needs to take a nap cuz she can't sleep and she wants me to sing her a song to her, like a Lullaby! WTF?? She been doing this for 4 months.
She also colors in her coloring books and makes me wants me to hang the pictures on the wall.

I know there are TONS of questions out there about this, but I couldn't find exactly what I need. My daughter will be one soon and I'd love to have her 100% on the sippy cup. She now drinks water and diluted juice from the cup with no issues. But every time I try to put her formula in the sippy cup, she takes a few sips and screams till I transfer it into a bottle and give it to her in the bottle.
Any suggestions?

Im not very sure if I put this in the right section, if not Sorry.

Ok, this may sound dumb but, I was wondering if anyone knew if men here in the state of Pennsylvania can go on maternity leave along with the girlfriend?? Is it a law now or does the job he's working for (working with mentally retarded people) have to let him leave for a little while??

Serious answers please! Thanks!

my mums half sister (different dads, same mum) had dizygotic twins and my dads mum is a dizygotic twin so twins are in my familiy, however i was wondering if it might increase my chances of having twins.
i know having twins is down to the mother, but must it always run in the maternal line? ie could my chances of having twins be increased because my paternal grandmother is a twin or would it need to be my mum or her mum or her mum etc that is a twin for it to have any effect on me?
also if my mums sister had twins then does that mean that twins might run in my maternal ancestry? i dont know of any twins earlier in this part of my family and i have traced it back several generations. could my aunties twins have been spontaneous? i didnt think this happened so much with dizygotics.
just wondering as we are ttc and would be chuffed to bits with twins!

My daughter is extremely hard on her jeans, and is constantly burning right through the knees. Yah, yah... I know, ripped jeans are fashionable. But, we live in Wisconsin, and it is cold here right now. A 5-year old shouldn't be getting an icy draft up her pants because she has holes in the knees of her jeans. So, I am wondering how to patch jeans. I am worried an iron-on patch will be too stiff for the knees. However, I am also a terrible sewer. I do not have a sewing machine, so anything I sew will be done by hand. Any ideas? I would like it to look nice and be relatively easy for a sewing dummy like myself.
