My daughter just turned 1 and we are throwing a big party. I need some games that will be able to involve kids from 1 to about 15. We are doing pin the tail on the donkey, but i would like something that is at least good for the younger kids. espescially my daughter.

I would like to know what, if anything, you're buying online (kid/baby related).

About a month ago my son's kindergarten teacher resigned.
And so the teachers aid took on the job until they hired a new teacher. January 2nd was her first day. and off the back I disliked her because when I tried introducing myself. She looked me up and down and walked away. The teachers aid noticed that and came up to talk to me and told me how my son was doing in school. ( I look like I'm 17 but I'm not )
The second day after school I tried talking to her again but It was the same thing besides this time she actually said Hi.
I was ready to pull my son out of this class and get him a new teacher but my husband talked me out of it. He told me that we should keep him in there because my son loved the teachers aid.
This week I found out that the new teacher fired the teachers aid and brought in a new one. Well now my son is scared and doesn't want to go to school. He also has a disability so It was hard to even get him in the first place to go to school.

My 16-year-old brother rolled the family car up in the hills while goofing off and being wreckless.
Afterwards my mom made a list for his punishment that had get a job, maintain a C average (he's failing almost all of his classes), no more video games, no more computer unless it's school work, no more getting things left and right, and that he has to be a "slave" until he turns 18.
Well not very long after she didn't enforce it and now she blames me for his failing. I'm 18 and go to the community college while I still live at home. But I can't force him to do his homework, I can't even get him out of my way because I know that asking him will only make it worse and pushing him will then cause him to push me back and possibly beat me up for pushing him.
So I don't know how to deal with the situation.

My son has been acting irratible and more fussy than his usual self over the last 3-4 days. Just tonite he started running a low grade fever (99.9). I have him an appointment with the doc tomorrow, but I am concerned his fever will go up over night. He's been really fussy, he actually wants me to hold him (he usually is too active to want to be held), and he's been reaching around the right side of his head. His temp was 99.4 an hour and a half ago and when I last took it, half an hour ago, it's up to 99.9. I gave him some motrin right before I layed him down for bed and dressed him lightly for bed and covered him with a lighter fleece blanket. Do you think his fever will go up over night or will the motrin work? I hate to see him feel bad.

It doesn't seem to make sense since she has been speaking fine up until a few months ago. She is very intelligent for her age, but does have some social anxiety. She has always told me she is teased sometimes at school, but other than that she's hasn't been through anything major that would be causing her extra stress or anxiety. I read that sometimes that can contribute to it. Should I just be patient and hope that is goes away on it's own? How long should I wait before addressing it and possibly have her see a speech therapist? Right now I'm just pretending like I don't hear it and letting her finish her thoughts. Any other suggestions or experiences with stuttering suddenly at such an old age?

My child is always in things no matter how much I tell him "NO", I read that spanking is not good for your childs development, so what do you do to make them know you mean business?

I am 37 weeks and my due date is Jan. 27th. every now and then I get a weird sort of pressure on the inside of my vaginal canal on the left side. Sometimes its just for a few minutes when I get up to walk around, and sometimes i get it while i'm sitting or lying down. it doesn't hurt but it feels really weird. could i be dilating and that's what i feel? or is it just pressure from the baby moving around and lowering into my pelvis??

my husband does not see the point in moving out of that area. i constantly tell him that the kids, especially the baby, are always sick, but he thinks it's because of the seasons. how do i get through to him so we can move out?

I never got this. Why ask a bunch of people who don't know you, don't know the situation, and the vast majority of whom lack medical degrees if you're knocked up? Why not just go pee on the test thing and see what the deal is?

I just don't get it.
