Pregnancy & Parenting - 11 July 2007

At my daughter's daycare, they spend the whole afternoon outside, even when it hits triple digits on the thermometer. This can't be good for the kids, even if they play in shaded areas.

It certainly seems to be becoming more prevalent even in the last 10 years since I've been one.

Why are parents not doing a better job? And spoiling them with too much stuff?

Kids need attention, not stuff. I really think that's the problem. They need responsibility to learn to work for their stuff so that they appreciate it.

What do you guys think?

I have a guy friend who is very quiet, low self-esteem, always has a hard time meeting girls or getting good job offers as a result of it. He hates himself & never speaks up for things, in fear that it'll cause more harm than good. I can relate in many ways to this guy friend. Let's call him "A."

I told a mutual guy friend, "B," about times that A has been stepped on or has paid for other peoples' mistakes. E.g., the time the state screwed up his car registration & instead of disputing it for free, he paid all this money to get the screw-up corrected. He often does things like this b/c he feels that he doesn't have a choice or an option to stand up for himself, when he really does. I told B how I feel bad & feel frustrated for A a lot.

Anyway, "B" said "Wait until A has a kid...that'll probably be the thing that will get him to snap & become more assertive." Is this true? Also, do you think A's meekness/spinelessness will hinder him from being considered a "good" parent? Or...

Though I'm planning to bring her to the pediatrician, is it normal to feel pain when being washed? I also noticed my one year old baby daughter to be like her, pulling away from me when I'm washing her there.

I want to go into some sort of medical proffession, such as vetinary medicine. But my grades in highschool up to sophmore year are horrible, and I am in basic math courses. If I go to a community college and raise my grades is there a chance I will still be able to get accepted into such a program? I'm by no means stupid, but have suffered greatly do to family situations and my studies slipped greatly.

We have been ttc and every month it is the same thing.. Wait, hope, imagine, letdown.

I am supposed to start AF this Sunday. With my first pregnancy I had very sore breasts at 6 wks. I am not really feeling anything so I guess I have another month of nothing.

Do you all cry or just shrug when the test comes back negative?

I'm on my 5th pregnancy. I only have one child because 2 other pregnancies turned out to be blighted ovums (no baby in the sac) and one miscarriage. So this time my Dr. gave me a lil hope but said that it might be a blighted ovum again :( Because during my exam he said my uterus is still normal, no changes. I'm having an ultrasound this afternoon and Im so scared of the result. I already have the nausea and stuff but I've felt this way before but no babies.

BOY
Pheonix Christian Mason
or
Christian Pheonix Mason

GIRL
Christiana Pheonix Mason
or
Pheonix Christiana Mason

Which do you like the best or not at all....
Im not pregnant yet but I plan to be soon...This is what I want to name my child. I picked the name because I wanted our names to be represented in the baby's name. Christian or Christiana because my name is Christa and Pheonix because his name is Ashtin and the Pheonix bird arose from ashes and our baby arises from him. What do you honestly think. Do you have any other suggestions? THANKS!

I gave birth 4 months ago. Today, all of sudden I'm feeling all this pain - like menstrual cramps or early labor - but no period and I'm not pregnant. It's excruciating. Any ideas?

I have been letting him wear his underwear during the day and putting on the overnight diapers at night. Just got him the potty chair of elmo he likes it but won't tell me when he needs to go and I ask him every 5 minutes if he needs to go. So far he has been wetting and dirtying his underwear. I don't know what else to do it fustrating for me and him so I hope someone will know what is the easiest way of doing this so I can start putting him in headstart because I hear he has to be potty trained. Thank you for your time and answers muchly appreciated.

Do you think that I am crazy??

I am pregnant with my 3d child, tomorrow I will be 17 weeks, since this last week I have been feeling the summersaults and movement here and there. About 20 minuts ago, as I am sitting here at work I felt like an actual kick, then it didnt happen again. Do you think I am crazy or do you think that was the baby? Or is it to early to feel an actual kick even though this is my 3d.

Thanks, your answers are much appreciated!!!

My son is 2 Months, 2 Weeks and 1 day old. He is already wanting to start solids!! When he was born, he weighed 6 pounds 4.6 ounces. He now weighs about 16 pounds! He is drinking about 5 ounces every 3 hours. He sits up great assisted. He gets really excited whenever we eat or he smells food. He is always sticking his fingers and any toys that he has a hold of in his mouth. I have already fed him apple sauce and he LOVES it! He chews and pushes it to the back of his mouth and swallows it like he is supposed to. This all just seems really weird to me! He is so young! I have a 6 year old daughter too and she was the same way when she was a baby. But the difference with her was that she was sleeping through the night at 1 month old. My 2 1/2 month old wakes up EVERY 3 hours to eat! Like clock work!! Is there any advice that anyone can give me? Either about helping him sleep through the night or with his feeding? Please, no rude or bashing answers!
