Her hair is very fine and it is difficult to style, put in ponytails, braid, etc. If anyone has any great suggestions or secrets to styling baby hair, I would love to know them!

I'm a 25 year old stay at home mom of three kids . two are in school while my 2 yearold stays home with me. Here is my problem... I have been going to college I was 18 off and on. I'm currently majoring in criminal justice and like it except that i dont even have my assiocates yet. I was trying for my bachelor degree. this would mean 3 more years at least before i finish. My family and friends keep encourageing me to change to nursing and forget criminal justice. I do highly enjoy health and i had wanted to go into it once before but shyed away from it. This was because i had heard it was highly difficult to get into. Even if i did go to nursing school i cant leave my daughter to be at clinicals and class. I've been taking classes online. Nursing would'nt allow that but i would finish in one year. I cannot afford daycare.what direction should i go? or should i wait till my 2 yearold starts school? I would then be 30.

My husband and I both like one better than the other. The problem is it's not the same one. Which one do you like better?

I resent not having more children. We have two of our own and he has a daughter who lives with us as well. Ages are 12,6 and 4. I have lived with wanting more (2 or 3, but would compromise with 1) for over 2 years, but my husband hasn't. I realized back then that u shouldnt force a child on someone else so i accepted his decision. I got out of the house,studied and started a career. Got a cat n took up a hobby that takes me out of the house one night a week. I even tried counselling. I think I have done all the right things to accept this decision and move on with our lives but nothing has worked! What else can I do? A month ago he told me that he realized that I have tried hard to change the way that i think and i am still unhappy with that aspect of our lives(even though he knows i try to hide it), and that he will change his mind to make me happy, because he realizes what this means to me. Should I get pregnant? I don't want him to resent me. He is a great father and hubby

i've been prepping my son for toilet-training for months now... but lately he gets upset at the mention of "diaper" and/ or "potty". I've never forced him onto the potty... My concern/ question is - could this be a sign of any abuse ? He was in daycare a few months ago. He has been going through many transitions also lately. SOmetimes he cooperates, but sometimes he really gets upset.

Has anyone else had there concentration span decrease dramatically since becoming pregnant?

I am 28wks pregnant and i find it really hard to concentrate on work these days. My mind is forever wandering off and i feel like i never get anything done! Besides which my energy has decreased as well and its even harder to motivate myself when i'm so tired!
I'm sure my work-performance (or lack thereof) is going to become noticed sooner or later but i really can't concentrate for long periods of time... which is dramatically different to how hard i worked before i got pregnant!

Has anyone else found that concentrating became harder since being pregnant?

a single mom. She had a nanny every night; I did 3 nights each week. Starting Sept. she cut the nights down to 4 a week and I did Friday nights. I've been doing this job for 8 months. End of Dec she says when the new year comes she is going to look for a day-nanny & when that happens she will condense the overnights. She said she didn't know which nights she would cut or when, just eventually. The last 2 weeks I went and she said the same thing if I asked her what would happen with the overnights; eventually, some nights, she didn't know which. Friday night I show up to my job and another sitter answers the door. The lady is like "what are you doing here!" & i'm confused b/c this is the night i work. She acts like it's a misunderstanding/the agency double-booked. I come to find out she gave my night to one of the other girls and had never planned on actually telling me; she just led me on and told the agency to tell me, but they never did. Could you do that to your nanny of 8 months?!

I am looking for something that is not so common. In other words, I don't want a middle name like Lynn, Ann, Marie, etc., because those names are really common.

Thanks for your suggestions!

i.e. with only an attorny and money given to the birth mother for expenses. My husband and I would like to adopt a baby and have $10K to give to the mother and will pay an attorney to do paperwork. We ONLY have the 10K though and adoption agencies will take a HUGE chunk of this leaving very little for the mother... IS this even legal?

I'm pregnant, but all of the urine and blood tests have been negative. I've had a pelvic exam to confirm the fact that I am pregnant though. How common is this? Is it a sign of an unhealthy baby?

Ok now for the last few weeks I have been asking pregnancy related questions and responding to questions as well. I finally gave birth to my beautiful baby daughter on Thursday. Now today I decided to log on to Yahoo Answers and I felt sad, I am not pregnant anymore. I already miss being pregnant and I could not wait till I got it all over with. I am extremely glad I have my baby girl but I don't know why I am sad that I am not pregnant anymore. has anyone ever experienced this before??
