HI, ill make this as quick as possible but wanted some other parents advice.

My in laws and i have never gotten along no matter how hard i try...to give a quick example after my hubby asked me to marry him and told his family his sisters still kept up pics on their refriderators of him and his ex who they all like.
We have been married a year and have a baby girl (4months) and when we had her they decided they wanted to be nice to me.
Last night they invited us to a birthday dinner.......failed to tell us that it was ONLY for the girls in the family...so my hubby came (thank god)and the WORST part of all was they invited his EX to be there knowing very well that we will have nothing to do with her let alone be in the same room (she told his family a bunch of horrible lies about him she is seriously evil) So we got there and were completely blindsided.
My question...how am i supposed to get along with them? I AM SO ANGRY any one else have this problem? How did you deal with it

almost 2 months ago i fooled around with my girlfriend, we werent naked or anything like that, she got her period on time that month, her boobs were sore for about a week before her period, then the day she got her period they become normal again, so we weren't worried but we learned our lesson, like 15 days after her period she got the sticky discharge that a women got during ovulation, so we were more realivd because we know that a women dosent ovulate, like a week later her boobs become sore again so we thougth that her period was coming so it did 3 days late,, she is irregular.. pretty normal the first day, and the second, but today is the third and nothing.! so we are very worried.. her boobs again become normal.. do you know someone who has been pregnant with thse sympthoms?..she took apregnancy test 15 days after we fooled around. and negative.. no sympthoms like morning sickness. or peeing a lot. .. ?

I'm talking to a spoiled girl who doesn't even know what a funeral is.
I don't know if she's just joking or something, but doesn't the 'play dumb' act get old for people like that?
She doesn't even do her own hair. Her mom still does it for her...

P.s. - Hi Monstrar [if you're on here]!!!! ♥

When we realized that about 99% of my husband's salary was going to pay daycare, he quit his job and became a full-time stay-at-home dad. Our sons are 3 and 2. The problem is, I think they need interraction with other kids (other than each other and with their father). We don't really want to put them in daycare, because that would defeat the whole purpose of my husband staying home to raise them, plus, daycare is ridiculously expensive, and we live on a very strict budget and don't have the extra money for even part time. Any suggestions? How would I go about finding a play group or something similar?

Should children be reprimanded for asking about sex?

Has anybody heard about this legislation that New York is trying to pass making it illegal for women who have just given birth to feed formula or recieve formula from the hospital for their baby? I was just wondering what everyone thinks about this.

Does the government have the right to decide what we should do with our bodies? I mean, with the abortion legislation that they passed, i feel they were stepping over the line. I mean, the last time the government interfered with personal relations and choice about this sort of stuff, was in Roe vs Wade...which said that a woman has the right to take birth control.

Are we going backwards in terms of women's rights? If you have health complications and can't breast-feed, or don't have enough money to buy yourself nutritous food (like the lower-class who this legislation would affect the most) then wouldn't formula be the best choice for your family?

I just recently had a 1 hour glucose test and I didnt have any signs on sickness besides the fact that I threw up after I left the hospital because I hadnt ate anything but after that I was fine. My doctor told me that I have to tke a three hour glucose test now. I dont even know what my first results were. Should I take the three hour test? What is the diet you are on after you get the results? Why is it even neccesary to have if they are just going to force the sugar in my body once again and get more results that are probably going to get 10 times worse! I really dont understand. Please help me:(

An Arkansas couple just had the 17th child, and they talked of having another while she was giving birth.

Now, come on this sounds like mice procreating. A man cannot support 19 people at once. So who is supporting him state, donations, and others.

DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS FAMILY OR DONATE. WHY DO THEY IMPOSE THEIR CHILDREN ON SOCIETY? YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE.

My baby is 3 months old and he's eating 6oz. every 2 hours would this be to much? His last feed is at 11:30pm, he wakes up at 3:30am and 6:30am to eat. After that it every 2 hours. On Saturday he weighted 11.8 then on Monday just 2 days later he weighted 12.3 i afraid if keeps going at this rate he'll be a little porker. I need some advice and info about this....

She said the middle name HAD to be Ocean. So I tried to find a name to go with that and none sounded great. So I talked her into using Kai as the middle name instead. (I read on here that it meant Ocean in some other language) So, if you could give me some suggestions that sound good with either Ocean or Kai that would be AWSOME! Thank you soooooo much!!

my dad is always wanting to know what I am doing. Like when I'm online he'll try to read my e-mail and stuff. He won't let me go anywhere or have anybody over. He grounds me for no reason. He also yells at me non-stop too. What makes it even more confusing is that I haven't done anything wrong to lose his trust.

Does anyone like the name Lennox for a girl? My mother in law is adamant that my daughter's name be Lennox Janae- I like it but I wanted to know how the public feels about it. What can kids say about her name in school? I can't think of anything negative....

My husband's father's name is Fransisco so I would like to give our baby this as a middle name if we have a boy. I am looking for a nice strong first name. One that will be cute in childhood and appropriate as an adult. Any help would appreciate.

At 14 she messed up, we had to be harsh. She apologized, promised to change, asked us to trust her but we said she'd have to prove. She got extremely resentful and said. For a year she asked for our trust, but we were tough, though she had changed her behavior. We know she suffered a lot, our trust was really important to her. She got depressed, said she was devastated cause she had made a mistake but everybody does, but had fixed it, deserved our trust and denied. Actually, she turned out to be a great girl, but became cold, distant. She found people like teachers who were very important to her and trusted her. In her opinion, we weren't parents, we only punished and broke her spirit but didn't help her overcome her troubles, didn't show love. She became a wonderful girl but we lost her love. Today we aren't important to her at all, we aren't part of her life. Even out trust, which now she has completely, today means nothing to her. She's not resentful, just indifferent.

My husband and I want to take our two sets of twins to Disney World next summer. Our older twins will be almost three and our youngest set will be about 7 months. Do you think that is a good idea? Our older set went last year for Christmas. I am pregnant this year with the second set of twins and we are only going on a short vacation. Do you think wee should wait until our second set is older?
