My mother in law has been baby sitting my 3 and 6 year old boys while my husband and I work. I home school them so putting them in daycare or public school is not an option. We are paying her $200 a month for 3 8 hour days a week. I am only getting $9 an hour so we can't pay her more. She has turned down a good full time job to help us. So this is why I ask is this a fair rate? Does she need more?

Thanks in advance to all who answer!!!

My period was due on January 12th (so I'm three days late). Last period started December 8th. Cycles last around 33 to 35 days, but I'm not completely regular. Did not have unprotected sex since November 29, but had close genital contact (no penetration) on December 18th. Nothing since then. I don't think I ovulated until New Year's Eve Weekend. I went to the doctor's office on January 11th and had a pregnancy test that was negative. I've taken lots and lots of tests (I'm paranoid) including one today and they've all been negative. However I've been experiencing slight cramps, slightly sore breasts, lightheadedness, dizziness. I'm just afraid my doctor is wrong and my symptoms are from being pregnant. I know they could also be PMS. I do get slight cramps and sore breasts before my period comes, but obviously it hasn't come yet. Am I just going crazy? Could I be pregnant despite what my doctor and the fifteen tests I've taken say? What else could my symptoms be from? Help

I want to buy my children some new books for their birthdays coming up soon. One is a 5 year old girl, the other a 1 year old boy. What is the best book you have read to your children, and why?

Is there ever a "right" reason and if you were spanked as a child, were you traumatized by it, or do you think it actually worked?

Also, at what age do you start and when is it not okay anymore?

There's a kid in my french class who is absolutely gorgeous but he's kind of shy and doesn't talk a lot, even with his friends.

I know he kind of has his eye on this other girl but i've liked him since I first knew him and have only talked to him a few times.

I am soo not conceited but I really do believe that I am prettier than this girl, and I know i'm smarter because, no offense, but she's incredibly stupid.

Guys i especially need your help, what's the best thing I can do to have him notice, and hopefully be interested in me?

I usually never have problems with guys but this is a challenge!!

I'm about five weeks pregnant and I'm really concerned about using a laptop. Sometimes I keep it on my knees and sometimes on a pillow over my tummy. I do not know if it's safe for my baby. I have read a lot about monitors, but I cannot find anything about laptop as a whole device.

Are the chances of getting pregnant higher if a guy pulls out but then puts it back in? my boyfriend always pulls out but then puts it right back in. I got pregnant not too long ago but had a miscarriage...when that happened he wasnt pulling out at all. But now since we're having sex again after the miscarriage, he pulls out but puts it back right away and might do this like 2 or 3 times whenever we have sex.

Ok, I am 18 yrs old and single. I was hanging out with some guys from school about 2 weeks ago and one of them started flirting. We had unprotected sex and i missed a period. Does that mean I am pregnant? How should i tell my parents?

i brought up the option of using an anonomous donor of Asian descent. my wife is against it, bc she says that the child will have noone in its life to teach it the Asian side of its culture. because our brother in law is African American, she's ok w/an anonomous African American donor, because the child can learn that part of their ancestry through him. i say that it doesn't matter what nationality the donor is, so long as the child is loved, irregardless of their ethnicity. who is right?

What do people do at their Sweet 16th?
I'm having a sweet 16th party in a few months and I was wondering what people do there? What kind of clothes do I wear? What kind of music? Dances? And if your actual birthday's on a week day, do you have it the weekend before or after?

Anyone ever use them? What's the best Brand? What's the worst? And, what do you do if you have to run somewhere, your baby is wearing a cloth diaper, and then you change it in public (with a disposable one)....where does the dirty cloth diaper go?

My son will be starting Kindergarten this year and one of the Kindergarten teachers at his school is our neighbor. She is a nice lady and all but a busy body, very gossipy and I do not want him in her class just because I don't want her talking about my son to others etc. Just not good in my opinion. How do I go about telling the school in a polite way I do not want her as a teacher. What is the appropriate thing to say so if she find out she is not affended?? Thanks in advance.. =)
