I agree that this should be allowed because it is the most natural thing mothers can do for their babies and is also the best option for their development. Any other thoughts on this?

I remember doing this as a child and I need a quick before bath time game, that is kind of messy.

I'm open to suggestions because I need one for every day of the week.

We have tried taking away toys, lieing back telling her that we are gonna do something exciting and then not doing it, we have done time outs, we have stood in the corner, we have done chores... nothing seems to be working and here we sit on the couch again trying to get her to tell us the truth. What should we do??

Please do not offer suggestions - middle names will not be changed since they have meaning to them. Please just pick which one you like best! Thanks.

I went to portrait innovations and got daughters3 month pics. I spent 89.49. The special package was9.95, with 10 by 13, two 8 by 10s, and 4 5 by 7s, four 3 by 5s, and36 wallets. Then I ordered 3 additional poses that came with 3 sheets size of your choice. I also got free pic cd, 6 free greeting cards with pic, and free 10 by 13 picture calender. So is 89.49 a good deal. I havent ever been there and never bought any additional packages at other places.

I had my second sonogram at 17 weeks and the baby was very active. Every time he/she had its legs open, the technician would turn the sonogram camera around to find out what the baby was and the baby would hurry and close its legs. Is there any other way of figuring out the sex of the baby? My fiance and I would really like to know, so we can plan some more.

My daughter is now 10 months old and she wont sleep at night. Shes up 3-4 times a night and around 3-4 am she gets up and wants to play. I tried leaving her alone but she stands up in the crib and starts screaming like someones attacking her. I let her cry it out but that only knocks her out for a few hours then shes at it again. Shes still eating every three hours and she eats well. she gets a bath everynight. I have a one bedroom Apt. but she stays in her crib not in my bed Ill sit down with her usually at 8-830 and put her to bed shes good till 12am but then it all goes down hill from there. she rubs her eyes alot I asked the PED. and she said they were fine I even got a second opinion and they said the same. My biggest concern though is that I find myself loosing my patience with her and I now its not her fault (I guess that makes me terrible I dont know). Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

My wife and I have a fabulous marriage -- great communication, very well prepared for our first child, who arrived this month. My wife and I just had our first parenting fight. My sister visited this weekend and was a bit obsessed with our baby. I agree with my wife that we need to set some boundaries for future visits. But my wife said some surprising things in the argument -- implying that leaving our baby with my sister might be "dangerous" and suggesting she might have bizarre intentions with baby.

I'm having trouble stomaching this talk, and it makes me angry to hear it from someone I love so much. I am a little frustrated that all the literature and pop-culture advice to a new mom says "trust your instincts", but in this case, I feel like that's reinforcing an irrational fear on her part. All the same, that reinforcement makes me irrelevant when I try to convince my wife that her fears are unfounded.

New moms, what's your advice for me to effectively talk this out?

I'm currently 8 months pregnant and live in a different state than my boyfriends mom. His family wants to be involved in the baby's life, which is great, but how do I get past my negative feelings for them?

My boyfriend and I were together for over a year, during that time I never met his family or friends. Only when I became pregnant, did his mom want anything to do with me. A meeting dinner was quickly arranged and we met for the first time. That was the only time I've ever seen her face to face. She recently wrote me a letter inviting me to come out for a few days (she lives in a different state) so I can meet a couple other family members. There are various reasons for not wanting to go (like being 8 months pg) but mostly because I still feel angered/upset that I was never included or wanted in their lives UNTIL I got pregnant. I was never invited to family functions or even my bf's birthday party. He says I should blame him (which I do to an extent) but I also blame them

thanks a bunch

if your daughter had a diary with a lock on it,and she is the only one with a key.A girl calls your house that you do not know and she doesn't want to reveal her self.She is calling to let you know that your daughter has something very serious and important going on in her life and there is proof in that diary.After talking to your daughter you eventually let her know about the phone call.Your daughter starts to cry and says '' don't worry about it,i'll handle it''.And she does not want you to see what is in the diary.

Do you force her to show you the diary or let her handle her own problem on her own ?

If a mother teaches her 2 year old to call her husband (not the father) Daddy , but the real father sees his child on a regular basis, pays child support, 1/2 medical bills, etc (standard custody agreement) would this be a form of trying to alienate the child from the father?
