I really love the name Eleanor and Edith. I would call her Ellie or Edie for short.. are these cute... or too old fashioned?

At what age did you take your children to the dentist for the first time? And, if anyone knows, how much was it without insurance?

I read that it's advised that the first visit is between 6 months and 2 years, but my dentist won't see children under 3, and the only pediatric dentist in my area doesn't take my out of state insurance.

Thanks!

My g/f is pregnant and we are having twins.. a boy and a girl.. So we came up with these names.

Jalen for the boy, and Alexianna for the girl. Are they good names?

I went into labor yesterday and it stopped around 6pm. Today I went for my ob appoitment and found out I'm 2 centimeters and 50% effaced. No contractions today though, and my midwife said it's normal for things to stop, even for a couple of days. Has anyone experienced this type of labor?? How long until things kicked back in for you??

What do you think of the trend for "backwards" spelled names? Singer Sonny Sandoval of the rock group P.O.D named his daughter Nevaeh in 2000, and I have run into quite a few Nevaeh's myself. I personally think it is a little disturbing to name a child something (especially something like Heaven) spelled backwards.

I am babysitting a 2 year old boy, who is very hyper, and wears diaper. The boy gets droped of at my house at 12:00 and gets picked up at about 12:30 am or even 1:00 am. So that is 12 hours straight that I take care of him I play with him feed him and bath him. I want to know what is a reasonable price to charge his mother for this amount of time. We had started at $8.00 but I think that that price is to high scince she would end up paying about $100.00 a night and I thought that that amount was to high can you give me some resonable prices that I can charge. No daycares in my area take care of children 12 hours 5 days a week and 1 day out of the week end.

Baby shoes, which ones are good for a 1 year old who just started walking?
by himself but still holds our hands pretty often. i heard i should get soft shoes, but are the stride rite soft enough, until now he had the robeez booties for when he walked on our hand.
please help, how soft do they have to be??? those i saw are not as soft as the robeez, but still softer than firm ones, but not so bendable .

thanks

I have two kids right now a 4yr old girl and a 2yr old boy. I love being a mom even though it can be stressful at times. My husband and I have talked about it and we do want one but we want to get a house first and get my career started, but I don't want to wait and then have to put my career on hold when we finally do get these things done. I also don't want to put too many years between the kids ages neither. What do you think ?

Ok, we're not even pregnant yet, but my husband and I are already going over baby names. Let me know what you think. We have 2 girls names, and 2 boys names picked out.

Girls:

Ayla Rose (Rose is my sister and both Grandmothers middle names)

Keely Jean (my mother in law is Kelly Jean, so we thought it would be nice to kind of name the baby after her)

And then the boys:

Vander James (He wanted Alexander, but I think it's WAY too common...we found Vander in one of the novels my hubby was reading)

Talon Alexander (ok, I gave in on the Alexander, but only as a middle name. I like Talon, but I want it spelled Talen)


As you can see, we like slightly unusual names. I can't think of anything worse than being stuck in class with 2 other kids with your name. Let me know what you think, but PLEASE be nice. Well, at least don't be too harsh...lol

At what age is a child old enough to.....be left alone in the car while you run into pay a bill or run into the post office or something like that.....go into the convience store to pay for your gas for you......walk into the school by themselves? I know people answers will probably vary, but I just want an idea of what people think. I mean, there is no manual for these kinds of things.

What does it mean when a boy gives you a free drink (on the house) and they are really not supports to do that, they did to me instead and no one else in my family. Because my sister have ask for one and she said it three times and the boy have just not pay attention her, but no me!!! He was smiling real big and he was very happy also. So please tell me what it means! It has happen 8 months ago.

Please say nice things, not rode remarks! Thank you!!!

The boy has also fallen into so bowls and felled on the ground too. I try not to laugh but my sister and the other girl who works there was laughing!!

My 13 month old daughter is still being rocked to sleep at night. She refuses to lay in her crib and fall asleep. She cries and cries until you get her up. It is even hard to try to rock her, she just wants to stay up, even when she is tired. Any suggestions on how I could help her go to sleep on her own? She has an older brother (2 1/2) and I know she is excited and wants to play, but how do I get her to go to sleep with less fight?

On january 25 she tells me she thinks she is pregnant and buys two ept tests and calls me and says she is pregnant. She wants $400 to get rid of the child. Am I being Scammed or does this sound possible?
