Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 February 2007

I have an 18 year old, 3 months from graduating. He got fired from his co-op job yesterday for not showing up on a number of occassions (we didn't know this was going on). Now he is facing the fact that he may not graduate since he will be short credit hours du to getting fired. My husband feels he should be grounded from everything, I feel grounding him isn't going to accomplish much since he will have no funds to do anything anyway. Give me your opinions. My son is depressed and knows he messed up but is that enough?

my 2 1/2 year old has been extreemly needy and whiny and non stop going on and on with "mama mama mama mama " all day im loosing my mind. hes very over dramatic about everything, and very clingy. he does not play with his toys or entertains himself much when he is home. when he is in daycare he is fine but when he gets home it is all about him, and its becoming very hard to do things around the house without him at my ankels.

being an only child im sure he gets lonely without his daycare mates and i give him as much attention as i can, but i have things to do too and cannot give him around the clock attention. how can i get him interested in doing his own thing and break this mama's boy cling!!

I am planning on flying home at 30weeks for delivery. its difficult to explain why i want to go but i really want to. I really love my husband too much and have always given up things to keep him happy, he does the same for me.
For the first time in our life we are stuck as he wont be there when the baby comes and he is very unhappy about it. He will get paternity leave but the problem is that delivery dates are never certain.
He wants to be the first one to hold the baby.i can understand his feelings and feel terribly selfish for doing this to him but still cant make up my mind not to go.
Can anyone think of a good solution to my problem?
Please help
Thanks in advance

Hello- My son just got tubes in his ears. I wanted to hear from other parents on how tubes helped their kids, did it change their behavior in any ways? Eating, sleeping, social behavior???
