Help!! My son is my third child and you would think I would know better. To avoid waking the whole house at night I have always run to him when he crys, picked him up and gave him a bottle. Now I have created a monster!! I have never been one to let my children cry for any prolonged periods of time. How else can I break him?? I am in desperate need of an uninterupted nights sleep. He wakes 2-3 times between 7pm and 5am.

I'm a stay at home mom of a 3 1/2 yr old and a 16 month old. Recently my husband commented that our house was "such a mess" compared to some of our friends homes. Don't get me wrong our house isn't immaculant, but its definetly not a dump by any means. There may be a few toys on the living room floor and a few dishes in the sink but not nasty or dirty, all in all its kept straightned up. My husband wants the house even cleaner. I practically go crazy now trying to keep up with the house and laundry and the kids. My 3 1/2 yr old is active and destroys EVERYTHING I clean up. She had gotton so bad about tearing her clothes of the hangers in her closet on a daily basis that we had to put a lock on the door so she can't go in and do it. My 16 month old is at the stage that everything mommy puts up is so much fun to tear back down. Just wondering how other moms with younger active kids keet the house clean with out going out of your mind LOL??????

in the car or other places alone. there is no point in teaching them about strangers when you dont leave them alone in the car or other places. when they are 13 teach them about strangers not to talk to them because that is the age where they can be left alone in the car

Okay, this is something of an experiment, so I need lots of people to answer. I just need to know what names people think are great, what the "tastes" are nowadays. I'm really curious, so please help a sister out!

We're not sure the gender of our baby yet, but if it's a boy, we're hedging towards NOT getting him circumscised. I asked the doc how common it was these days to not do it, and she said that at least 60% of her patients chose not to. I knew this was a growing trend, but her high figure still surprised me. Then again, she's a midwife doctor, so I'm sure most of her patients preferr to keep things natural. My question is...for people who have had sons, how many of you chose to circumscise?

I am 20 weeks and I haven't felt him move yet. I hear it feels like a fluttering feeling, or like a tapping. I also heard that it sometimes hurts. I get nervous all the time, because I don't know whats going on inside. Do you think I should worry or should i just keep waiting??? When do most women feel their babies move?

Has anybody here had regular pants and skirts altered into maternity ditto?

What did you pay to have it done?

And, which would you recommend -- having a 'panel' put in the front, or having a few inches of the top replaced with stretchy fabric all around the waist?

Okay, so, the last time I had sex was July 18. My periods have been regular, if not a bit early. They have been really super heavy though, and they last only about 3-4 days. Of course that is all they ever lasted especially after I had my first child. I have just noticed lately that my stomach has been feeling a bit weird, like there is a great big lump sometimes, but then sometimes there isn't. I especially noticed this last night when the lump was really sticking out as I was laying down. I have been chalking it up to being just morbidly overweight, but now I'm not so sure. I didn't have any periods with my first kid, and I surely don't want anymore kids. Any help?

When you have heartburn while pregnant it means your baby is going to have a headful of hair? Does anyone belive this? I'm just wondering because as bad as my heartburn is and this is true, I honestly believe that my child is going to have hair down to his feet LOL Let me know what you guys think

I have my cats litter box in a room that I would like to gate off so my toddler can not get in but I also need my cat to be able to get in and out. The bottom also has to be adjustable for baseboard.

I tried lifting up the gate so the cat can get under but my toddler gets under too.

Also my cat will not jump the gate (old and lazy)

Thanks

I’m usually a bit on the irregular side with my cycle, but I am concerned because there was an “accident”… needless to say, I’m extremely preoccupied with the whole thing. I think I should be due in about a week or two… like I said, I’m very irregular sometimes up to three months between my cycles. So, my dilemma.. how long should I wait before taking a test? This incident happened last week, about two weeks (roughly) before the start of my next cycle… and since that is a bit unpredictable, I can’t really know for sure.
So how much longer do I wait before taking the test, and WHAT do I do to distract myself from this in the meantime?

I know a lot of people out there abort their babies, because they are not ready. I am a woman who can't have a baby, and would be a wonderful Mom. It takes a very long time for adoption to kick in, trust me, I have tried, there is a waiting list, but also tons of children without homes; I don't understand. My life will never be complete without a child, and I am more then ready. If anyone is thinking of giving their child up for adoption, or if they are thinking about getting an abortion please email me at dixiexccoach05@aol.com. I know this questions seems a little out of place, but I am losing hope.
