for the past 7 years come the summer hoildays, there I am looking after my two children and my sisters.
problem is she never sends any money for ice creams etc.
as I like to go out and not be stuck around the house.
I have the children for at least 5-6 hours 4 days a week for 5-6 weeks, I`m fed up of being used no pocket money for the kids or a return in favour such as she will have my kids for a day on her day off
so have not offered to have them this summer so they are going to my mothers, mum lives in the country side cant drive, the problem is I feel sad for the children who will be stuck in while I take my children out of the day. But I dont want to be used any more I cant afford it
Any ideas ?

He is 7 months old . He started solids at 4 months .And he was eating fine. But from the last week he has stopped eating solids i have tried giving different things but still he doesnt eat. And if i forcefully give him .anything he just vomits. Doctors say that he is NOT teething and he is fine its just some phase and it'll pass. But im very worried because he is getting very weak.

I am working mother with 3 kids. I just had a baby and have been planning to extend my leave. But, here's my problem... I don't feel I can stay home any longer. I am feeling really overwhelmed and feel that maybe its best for me to return back to work. I find it hard to adjust to the fact that I am currently home. Is it normal to feel like that?

People have told me to hand-feed it to my baby, but wouldn't it just be harder and messier?

I know it's pain relief, but is it numb the way your foot is numb when it goes to sleep? Does it make your lower body feel al heavy where you can't move it? Did that bother you at all?

He uses it religiously when he has no pants or diaper on. However when that diaper is on it's like he thinks it's ok to do his business when ever nature calls. He doesn't even care to try. I need some advice I have told him "you don't want to dirty your diaper do you? Keep it clean now!" and that sort of thing... it has not worked so far... please offer me some advice.

I'm sort of overwhelmed right now. I'm 32 weeks pregnant with my first baby, a little boy, and up until now the plan was for my partner to work 50-60 hour weeks so that I could stay home, avoiding childcare expenses and allowing me to take care of my own baby.

Tonight, though, he said that he plans to go back to school in August and cut down to 40 hours a week. I'm all for him furthering his education, but we'll barely get our bills paid on 40 hours a week, so I'll have to go to work. Which is fine, except all the jobs I could get would leave me with $200 a month after childcare and taxes. My mom could babysit, but only after 5, which rules out most jobs. And school starts in August and I won't be able to work till November.

What would you do? Suck it up for two years while he earns his degree? Ask him to wait till NEXT semester so I can get settled in with baby and a job? Find an at-home job? Of course I'll discuss it with him but he's at work and I wanted opinions NOW.

I found out that if your child is under 4 years old, he/she is entittled to a free smartstart book pack from the library. All you need to do is phone your library to make sure they have some in stock, and then take with you your childs red health record book. My daughter got hers yestarday, she got crayola crayons, colouring book, 2 free thick cardboard books, a library card ect.....All of this is free.

There are 3 ages

0 - 12 months
18 - 30 months
36 - 48 months

I do work and I had to go back to the office from maternity leave as early as two months after giving birth. My baby is now 7 months old and all these time, it was my husband, his sister and his mom who takes care of my baby.

i cant fit in my schedule. i work graveyard shift so i sleep at day and leave at night. I am really becoming afraid seeing my worst fear, my son does no recognize me. I think he doesnt even know me. I dont think he knows im his mother.

I always observe him. he squeals as soon as he sees or hears his dad, his aunt and his grandma but usually no reaction ( not even a glimpse or quick look) if it is me calling him.

Believe me, it really hurts. I cant stop working because if i do, we'll have financial problems.

Do you also work? do u leave your child? does he/she recognize u or respect you as his parent?
