I will be going to a theme park at the first of September and I wanted to know if I could ride any of the rides. I know the coasters are out of the question but I was wondering about all of the other different rides.

My daughter is starting kindergarten. She's going to have to stay after school for an hour each day (the after-care is basically "free play"), but her school also offers a variety of after-school lessons. This sounds great to me, because I won't have to worry about driving her places.

I was going to enroll her in class piano (basically as a supplemental music program, to introduce her to reading music and such, and we have a piano at home that she plays around on, so I thought this would be good), and gymnastics. I'd always thought that one organized physical activity and learning an instrument were adequate extra-curricular activities for kids.

Well, last year she took ballet lessons and loved those (haven't re-enrolled yet), and she wants to take ice-skating lessons this winter. I certainly don't want to be one of those parents who overloads their kids with activities, but do you think it'd be too much to add either ice skating or ballet to what she's already got going on?

I want to see what our children will look like if my fiance and I had one. I've heard of websites that let you put up a picture of yourself and one of your spouse and it makes a computer generated picture of what your child would look like.

He is currently eating:
28 oz of formula a day and 7 oz of baby food.
Is it time to drop another bottle and add dinner and up his food to 9 oz a day or just leave it the way it is?

she is pregnant and closing off all of her old love to me. i feel like now that she is pregnant she doesnt have to show love for me anymore and is always bitching at me. i understand that her emotions are changing because of the pregnancy but how do i know if things will ever go back or if i am a fool for staying with somebody who doesnt love me anymore. p.s. she doesnt ever want to talk about things just always complains and is never happy anymore.

me and my friend were talking yesterday about getting married and having kids and stuff like that. i was saying that i'm going to raise my children as vegetarians. and she was like "why? you're gonna force them to not eat meat?" and i said, "i'm not going to force them, i'll raise them to not eat meat. what sense would it make to be a vegetarian yourself and not raise your children the same way?" so she started arguing that i should let my kids make the choice to be vegetarian or not and she wouldnt even give me a chance to explain. so i just made her change the subject.
wouldnt it be weird to raise your children to be meat eaters when you're not? we're only 17, but i was just wondering what other people thought about this.

why does she not understand that she lost my trust because she disobeyed the rules. I left the house and when I came back i found her boyfriend running out the back door. He is not allowed in the house and especially when i'm not home. I got mad at her and told her i felt betrayed because she knew he was not supposed to be in there and who knows what they were doing. she clammed up and says she cant talk to me because i get mad. well how does she want me to get, HAPPY? i don't think so i told her to grow up and stop acting childish like if i'd beat her or i'd throw her out of the house. i've tried talking to her about everything but she thinks everything i say is just to thwart her. i don't know what to do anymore should i just let her do what she wants? Her dad says it's all my fault anyway because i always let her do what she wants in the first place, she would go to the park every single day w/BF,did no chores,go 2 movies,just out walking with BF, now she's grounded.

She fights me when I get her dressed, change her diaper, put her in the car seat, take her to daycare, bath time- everything. This all started a few weeks ago. Now in the morning she wants me to hold her when I need to be getting ready, at night she wont let me hold her unless Im busy doing dishes etc. Then of course she throws a fit until I pick her up.

So, i'm not really sure what's going on. My boyfriend & I had unprotected sex in May & I went to get the After day pill. Like a week after that, i got a really light period .. it lasted 3 days and it was very light. Usually i get it 5 days & it's a regular flow. I have not gotten my period since then!! I have had pregnancy tests but they all came out negative.... i'm wondering if i should get a blood test? or if the pill messed up my period or what???? I'm really frustrated. Someone please help me. Thanks.

ok, so my son was suppose to be grounded to his bedroom because him and his brother got into a fight, (not a big one, no punches or anything) just a screaming fight over what to watch on the tv. so i told both to go to their rooms. but later that night their was a knock at my door and it was my son (in handcuffs) and two police officers. they said him and a couple of friends were throwing stones at cars as they drove by. they said they would either release him into my custidy or take him to jail for a day or two and hopefully learn his lesson. i said take him to jail. but my mom is totally against it. she was so mad. and was going to go to the jail and get him. my friends all say that i was right. and that he wouldnt have learned his lesson if i didnt and he would think he could get away stuff. do you think that i was right or wrong? but please be nice about it.

I finally got my husband to commit to a time frame, 6-8 months from now so long as either all of the credit card is paid, and half the car (or visa versa) AND I have to be working from home.

My question is how can I prep my body to conceive as quickly as possible and so I can have a healthy pregnancy?
I don’t take BC so I don’t have to worry about that, I have a glass of OJ every day, drink at least 64 OZ of water a day and take a woman's muti vitamin. I do want to try to lose 10 lbs, but I don't think it's really necessary to do so.( I'm 5 ft 1/2 in and weight 130 Lbs).
Anything else I should be doing to help my body be at it's healthiest and most fertile come January? I already track my periods and fertile times as well.

I have started many groups, and then deleted them.. Most of them being exercise and diet groups... I just can't stick to them.. Can you? LOL I can't! I know why... I am always to busy to exercise, or I can't stick to a "diet"... So I have yet again started another group... For busy Moms/women... It is for all of us that are so busy and are trying to squeeze in exercise any way we can....... Did you know that housework equals exercise? Instead of dieting, lets just be healthy, if we are, the weight will come off.. We have a house to run and some of us have kids. If you are interested in joing the group, here is the link below. :) Are you interested???? I would love to have you a part of it? Do you have any questions?

I would love to have anyone join!

I'd like to start watching infants/toddlers in my home. Max number of kids-- 3. I'd only except kids aged 0-2. It'd be in my home. I'm experienced with references and child/infant CPR/First Aid certified. I live in Ft. Hood Tx. How much should I charge per infant? And what kinds of equipment should I have on hand before I even advertise? Thanks in advance
