I don't want any dumb or sexist answers.

I only give it to her at night, her father gives it to her ALL the time and whenever she sees it she wants it. I've tried hiding it and she always finds it. I don't just want to take it away from her. Is there anyway that you know of to kind of wean her off of it?

This question is for moms. What do you think about the backpack harnesses you can put on your child with a strap for the parent to hold in their hand? I have a 2 year old who likes to walk and would dart away at any opportunity and doesn't like to hold my hand. We are going to an amusement park and I was wondering what people think of these.

I'm looking for any suggestions. My older son's name is Jacoby. We don't know if it's a boy or a girl yet. I really want something unique this time plus my partner named our first so it kind of falls on me this time. I was thinking either something that starts with a J sound or C since we sometimes call our older son Coby or Coco. What are your favorites that start with these letters?

I had my first baby saturday, and im so scared and i feel like a terrible mother already. Some times i feel happy to be a mom and other times i cant stop crying. I also wanted to breastfeed and at times i like it and other times i wanna give up. And now because of my antidepressants i might stop breastfeeding so she doesnt get any of the drug in her, but i dont know if im making the right decision. I want whats best for her, and i dont know what that is. Is there anyway i can acctually like being a mom and stop crying? Im home alone with her most of the day and night, and my husband doesnt help out cause he is scared to even touch her thinking he will break her. And i wanted so bad to be a mom, and now that i am i find myself wishing i could go back in time. Is this normal after birth??

I know these aren't human, but I'm stumped. We have a newborn litter of Bloodhound puppies. This is an "M" litter, so I need names for 6 boys and 6 girls. These pups are going to be trained for Search and Rescue. Thank-you!

my daughter will be 4 on november.. i was told that she can start school this semptember. but i don't know if she is ready.
when you tell her no she starts a fight. if she doesn't get her way she scream and acts like a baby. She is potty trained has been since she was 2. But i don't think that any school will put up with her attitude.
I want she to go. she needs to be around more kids her age but everyone else thinks i should wait a year. Any suggestion?

Has any other pregnant experienced the passage of a blood clot while pregnant and if so what was the result? I am 13 weeks pregnant and passed a Tbsp. sized clot two days ago. It was not accompanied by pain or cramping and I have not experienced any further bleeding. I am hoping to hear from others who have experienced this. Thank you.

My husband is the head coach of my sons youth hockey team. My son is the top line center and also the team captain. There's a boy on his team that has great skills but he lacks the confidence to do anything with it so my husband has been working with him at the rink for the last couple months(even though the season hasnt started yet). The boys father asked my husband if we had any of our sons old hockey equipment laying around and if he could borrow it for his son because they cant afford to buy him new. Now some of the other boys on the team know this and make fun of him, hence the lack of confidence. Well, the other day when they were leaving the rink the boy was crying to his father that he wants new stuff like all the rest of the boys.My husband told me he'd like to take him(with parents permission) and buy him all new equipment(stick, skates...) and he'd even pay for his jersey for the upcoming season. He's just worried the parents might take offense to it. Would it offend you?

My fiance' and I have been dating for 6 months and just got engaged. We are going to get married next summer. She is 30 and I am 37. I do not want to be too old to enjoy/keep up with my kids. We both want 2 kids. Should we wait until we have been married for one year first, or should we have kids right away?

I have 3 daughters and 1 son. The triplets are all five years old, two of them are girls. My other daughter is 3. When they are bad or something, we spank them bare butt. (Just a swat...NOT child abuse.) My neighbor said it was wrong for my husband to spank my daughters bare butt and it was wrong for my to spank my son bare butt. I mean, come on! They are still very little! She said it was also wrong for Blaze (my husband) to help me potty train Layla. (My 3 year old daughter.) What is your opinion on this? I think what she is saying is just plain stupid. I also think she is trying to tell me that I am a bad parent just because I am young. (I am 20.) What is your opinion on this?

Just from the extra work of having two children to chase around. I lost all my pregnancy weight from my first child and then ended up gaining it back eventually. I am now 25 weeks with my second and just wondering if its easier to lose and keep off the weight the second time around?

I am 30/31 weeks pregnant, and have been experiencing an odd sensation in my hands and feet. They will feel like they are "asleep", but without the pain associated with that-just the tingling accompanied by numbness.

Has anyone else experienced this, and what was the outcome? I will be calling my doctor, but I wanted to ask here in the mean time.

Thank you!

My husband and I are expecting our first baby in January 2008. We are not sure of the sex yet, but will be finding out soon. We have been looking at lots and lots of names, and it seems so overwhelming!!! There are so many! We would like some ideas from you people. Any male or female names are welcome. If you want to add middle name ideas that would be welcome too!
Most unique name gets the points!
