As my children are all at full time school, I have returned to study at university. All was going smoothly until today... I was just about to leave when my son started vomiting!
My kids school has 'assembly' every Friday where they may make a speech or get an award. I am unable to attend (unless I skip class).
Parents. How do you juggle this? How do YOU decide which assemblies/excursions are necessary for you to attend? Do you suffer the dreaded guilt?
How do you find the time for 2 full time jobs?
I really need some advice from parents who are doing this.
Thanks.

my partner and i have been trying for a baby for just under 3 years without any joy, i have never been pregnant before. He has had his tests and they are fine, ive had a blood test but now i have to have a 21 day infertility blood test to test the progesterone before the doctor can refer me to the hospital. Are there any other tests that i can carry out myself at home, i have changed my diet to be more healthy and do not drink alchol. It seems to be putting pressure on out relationship as sex has become mechanical and i only want to have it for a baby and in my "most fertile time" .
any advice would be much appreciated

My period was late this month so I took a home pregnancy test and it came out a very faint positive. I did only test on day period was due (after it didnt come on) so my levels of pregnancy hormone could be low. Then 2 days later I began bleeding like my period. I re-tested & this time it came out negative. I was very upset to find I was no longer pregnant or first test was wrong. But now I dont understand what has happened because my period which lasts normally up to 6-7 days has almost stopped after just 2 days. I cant understand what has happened this month - has any one any advice? Thanks

I took a good fall 2 days ago. I have been in pain off and on since. I have been to the hospital. 6 times yesterday and I just got back from the hospital. They say I'm not in labor and my water hasn't broken and I'm not bleeding or anything but I'm in pain. Regular pains. 5 or 6 times an hour these pains come lasting 8-9 minutes apart. What is going on?!? This is my first baby. Please don't be rude!!!

my pediatrician said that when i make my son a bottle, i need to use bottled water.....he is on a special formula for colic baby's.

i have not used the bottled stuff yet...mainly b/c i cant see paying for WATER!!!! when i have it running out of the tap for free (we have well-water, so yes, its free)

If i decide to start using the bottled stuff...i will buy it in the Gallon size (like milk comes in) - Does it have to be refrigerated???

I'm sure by looking at my name (Mommy 2 be) you all know i'm pregnant. I have been pregnant twice (once with my 3 year old, and I lost one). but I've never felt so very depressed before. I feel like I'm all alone. I am so bored sitting at my house all day. I just wanna get out and do something. but doctor said I need bedrest. What can I do to not feel so depressed??? No sarcasm please.

First of all here are the list of reasons we want a child:
1. We are getting married in June
2. We have a home of our own
3. We are able to aford for child and us and still bills an so on
4. We love each other more than anything in this world and we want something that is made by the both of us, to call ours for life.
5. We have alot of friends/family that have kids and we love taking care of them and they always get attached to us. Which would mean we should be very good parents
6. Even though we are only 17 but will be 18 in June, I have ready graduated so I can always spend time with my child. My fiance is homeschooled here at my house sense we live together and he is going to graduate within 2 months and also he has is getting a very good job in a few days which means I can be the house wife and he can work..

~SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED~

Here is more information / questions. Some things may be repeated because the first set is what my fiance had to say

Hello,

I have two young boys (2 and 3) and they've had upset stomachs now for around 2 weeks with diahorreah on and off.

I'm making sure that hands are always cleaned and they are very clean children and am struggling to know what to do with them.

Can anyone suggest good food to feed them or any "soft" medication I can give them to improve things.

This is a UK question so please UK answers

Are parents to blame for the way their kids turn out? Is it also the parents fault for not giving enough time to their kids and letting them wander the streets and causing problems? or is it simply because kids get bored so easily and there is nothing to do and decide to do their own thing.

I swear dude, I look at some of the answers to the questions and some like murder people on how they spell, or just because they're asking an "I'm pregnant what do I do?" question they instantly attack them saying "keep your legs shut and go on welfare..." Aren't we supposed to be helping people, not putting them down? Hell, if how some of you guys answer questions on here is how you are in real life, I'd hate to have ask you a question and get a response.

For women to have abortions because a baby is an inconvenience, will get in the way of bikini season, hinder a chance for promotion or career advancement etc, is like a slap in the face of women who want to have children but have to spend tens of thousands on fertility treatments to do it, or those who just can't? Those women do all they can to have a baby while others who could have many just suck them out and toss them away like a used news paper.

Hubby and I have been trying for a baby for the past few months now. Finally got around to purchasing one of those ovulation tests. First day I tested the results were + saying I was ovulating. Followed instruction regarding intercourse and that was 12/2/07. For a few days now my breasts and nipples have been really sore and this doesnt happen until a couple of days before I get my period (due 2/3/07). My BBT is 36.8 is this high or normal??? Would like to hear if anyone else has had a similar experience.

i have seen little girls between 5-10 with hair cuts made for little boys. Why do parents do this. it makes you daughters look like your sons. There are some cases where the child is sick and in fall out but not in all cases. What is the point, why not let their hair grow out?

My 11 month old has a fever which fluxuates between 37 - 39.4 celcius... I have given her baby ibprofen and she has been sleeping alot. I have also given her cool / luke warm baths to help bring the temp down. I know that in the past when she has been teething she had a slight fever but it was always accompanied with a sore bottom... She seems fine within herself just really really warm. What could be causing her this hotness.... and am I missing anything I should be doing to keep her cool? Ok I JUST called the doctors to be on the safe side, and she said that it may be a urine infection as it is commonly missed amongst babies... and I now have to catch a urine sample... how do you do that?
