My M~I~L keeps telling me TV is bad for her and not to let her watch it. She does watch for about three hours a day. All pre~school shows, and sponge bob occassionally(sp). I think it is even helping her learn new words and stuff. But if it's not just my M~I~L trying to raise my kids again, I would like to change her habbits to what is BEST for her. Any Ideas/ Suggestions??

Hello, this man posed as another mother in a parenting chat room. He asked me for photos of the baby carriers I make. My daughter is in these photos. After chating some more he asked me for more pictures of my child. I looked him up on a sex offenders website and sure enough I found him. Is there anything I can do To report this man? And if so where would I do this? Thankyou, Niki

Aaralyn Adalade _______

I've been thinking about names lately, and decided I love the name Aaralyn. It's pronounced Air-uh-lyn, and Adalade is a family name that everyone loves (pronounced Add-uh-laid)

Opinions?

Alrighty, I am almost 14 weeks pregnant and everything is going well so far. Recently I have noticed that I have to go to the bathroom alot more. (I know that this is normal.) I've noticed that when I try to pee I get this really sharp pain in my lower abdomen. It feels like someone is kicking me in the bladder. Anyone else experience this? I have been drinking tons of liquid, so I doubt I have a UTI. I've had those before and this is a totally different feeling. Thanks.

Our 6.5 month old son sleeps in the most awkward looking position at times. He lies on his side with his back arched and his head and neck extended and rotated toward the mattress. It looks soooo uncomfortable and when I have tried to move him, he just returns to this position. He also loves to pull the blankets over his face and will repeatedly do this despite my pulling them down.

We are putting her in a Safety 1st® 'Intera' Convertible Car Seat as she has out grown the infant seat. She is very tall. With my other children, once they reached 20lbs it was safe to use a forward facing seat. Have the laws changed? It does seem to sound safer to me.

children have autism. Some of these children have trouble concentrating on their homework. I sympathize with them but at the same time it hurts my feelings. My daughter can bite her hand until it bleeds. Do you think I have the right to be upset when the autism society puts a child that has trouble doing homework in the same category as my daughter that does things to physically hurts herself. Again I feel for the parents and children that have those problems but the only solution I can come up with is to block it out of my mind but that doesn't solve my problem and it will always cause me problems untill I find out a way to really solve it.

What symptoms do you get when you get your period. When I first got mine, I would get really bad cramps. I no longer get cramps, but I get dizzy and really bad headache during that time of the month. How do you feel with your period?

I know he started half way through so all the other kids were in a routine but he ran when they sat, he yelled when they talked, and he refused to raise his hand. He ran all over the place playing with toys and ignoring the teachers.
they have 1 teacher, 1teachers assist and 1 parent helper. I just felt like we were intruding and holding them back. I don't know.
I have been told that my son acts differently when im not there (more behaved) yet i was way in the distance and he still reacted the same. HE WAS THE ONLY LITTLE BOY TO HAVE A TIME OUT.
my question is. is it better for me to accompany him for the next couple weeks to help him get settled into the routine.(im scared of him disrupting the class and using all the teachers energy to disiplyne him.
Or should i just drop him off and let them attempt to settle him.
?????????
If there are any pre school teachers out there, id really like some advise.

I need to have a BLOOD TEST done, not a urine test.. as for those have never worked for me. I need to know which one (Birthright or Planned Parenthood) will do a blood test (draw the blood for results!) and the pricing and your personal preference would also be helpful please. And I live in MIssouri if it helps.
