do you think that a slight smack on the leg or the bum is acceptable when your child is naughty or do you think that it should be banned completely

have the ability to take them with me when they are out of school, which I have and do alot. I have spoiled them rotten, and it shows at times like tonight. I am the driver almost every Fri and Sat either to the mall or pickup from the mall and take friends home or ball games or to boyfriends (oldest is who I am speaking of now) and sometimes both nights both ways. I rarely do much alone or with other adults. Alot of the times when I want to do something I wont hear any complaints but tonight, I got the guilt trip for even suggesting that I was going to a friends for a bit. Now last night I picked up my 15 from the mall, took her boyfriend home and she had a friend spend the night here. Today I took her to her boyfriends work to see him on a 30 break (as I do alot). And tomorrow they will see each other too (they do not go to same school) so that means I will be doing at least one of the ways driving tomorrow. my question finally and I am sorry, but why do I fell so guilty?

He doesn't seem to be in any pain but when he pee's it comes out slightly to the left and not straight down in the toliet. I have heard that this is something that will need surgery and then I've heard that it is nothing to worry about. Please if you have information on a child or adult with this problem let me know what was done if anything.
His doctor said it was okay but people are telling me I should take him to see a different doctor.

He was curcumsized at birth!

I don't know anyone who breastfed, so this is very new to me. I don't want to actually breastfeed, just pump my milk and feed through a bottle. Any advice or info you can give, I would love to hear it. My main questions are: If I pump a couple times every day, will my breasts still leak? Can I use pre-pumped milk at the hospital right after I give birth? I read that Medela is a good pump, is it very noisy/can I use it while I am in the same room with a sleeping baby? Thank you for all the help.

I have been extremely tired for a few weeks now. I've been having bad headaches, mostly at night, with a pain in the back of my eyes.
Felt nauseated for the past few days. The smell of raw meat made me want to puke. Everything stinks and bothers me.

I was just wondering how early others have had symptoms and what the earliest signs were??

Answers from experienced mothers would help..

My daughter fights me and cries when I try to give her a bottle of formula, even though I know she is hungry. I tried orajel on her gums thinking that she was having pain while drinking her bottle. That didn't help. I give her mylicon drops thinking it could be gas pains making her feel full. Still, this had no effect. Also, she has acid reflux and is being treated with medication. That sould take care of that. Since she refuses her bottle, I give her rice cereal(fed with a spoon). She loves it. It seems that she only wants to eat solid foods. I know that her formula is supposed to be the main source of nutrition right now, and that she needs to have fluids to prevent dehydration. Any ideas what could be the problem? What should I do?

I have a week and a coupel days before I am supposed to get my period. If I am pregnant and take a pregnancy test, what are the chances of the test telling me the correct answer?....

I'm only 7 weeks pregnant, but I've been having a bit of cramping in the lower part of my stomach (almost like the cramping you get before a period) and probably once a day I've had a sharp pain in my right side. Is this normal? My sister just had a baby 2 months ago, and she never had any of these signs. I'm worried that it could be a possible sign of a miscarriage. Any help?

When he was an infant, the medicine pacifire worked. Then up to a few months ago, I could hold him down and get him to swallow it by blowing in his face(it made him swallow). But NOW nothing works not even flavors and all he does is spit it out! He's got a cold and totally miserable and won't take his medicine. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything worked for you?

I was watching recently a episode of Wife Swap where one household valued competition while another household did not. Do you believe that a family in the 21st Century should value competition? Why or why not?

My son, I love him to death, but he is just not appreciative of his toys or items he gets. I stopped buying him toys and even taking him places. Other than a spanking and taking away all of his toys, what other suggestions could you offer? Its just weird that he is like this cause I certainly was not raised like this.
