Its my daughters 2nd birthday and she really loves bouncy castles so I wanted to hire one to put indoors(in a hall), but I don't know if its a good idea or ont?
There will be about 10 2 and 3 year olds at the party, I know they would really love it but would it all end in tears? IAll the mums are my friends but I would be very embarassed if someone got injured on there.
What do you think?

I was wondering if it is possible to get pregnant with precum? Exactly when does precum happen? I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend. I was also on my period. I know they say you cant get pregnant while on your period, or it is very unlikely but can you? Help please....I wanna know if pregnancies are possible in these situations. thanks

I had a miscarriage 12/06 and haven't had a "normal" period yet. For the first 5 months after, I didn't have a period, and then my doc put me on meds and it came. The first day of my last period was 7/1, and it ended 7/5ish.

My husband and I shagged every other day for pretty much 10 days starting around July 1st!

So I am late on my period. My boobs were incredibly sore (they've started to feel better) which is normal for when I expect my period. Sunday I couldn't wait and took a prego test. So you know how you're supposed to pee on it for 10 seconds? I went for like 3 seconds! I thought I had to go more than what I did! The test didn't do anything; no results, didn't read positive, didn't read negative. I took it awhile later after I really had to go, and it came up negative.

So here I am 5 days late, no period as of yet, I thought for sure it was coming on Wednesday, but nothing.

Anyone know the likeliness of me being pregnant?

Does anyone have any advice about how i can cut my daughters (21 months) finger and toe nails. She used to let me do her finger nails but toes have always been a struggle. Now as soon as I reach for the clippers she goes mental! She even cries if she sees us doing our own!
I've tried plying her with sweets, fave cartoon etc. Now I have to restrain her and she hates it as much as I do.

I was at a gas station earlier,a mother buying ciggarettes. She was saying something that her daughters in the car crying because she didn't have any cigarettes, the lady wouldn't sell them to her at another gas station b’cuz she was underage...

is there a law that could punish the parents for doing this?

what possesses these 'parents' to buy ciggs for their kids?! When was it that the roles were reversed and the kids get to tell the parents what to do? ...I’m 24 and my mother still wouldn't buy mine if i asked her...

my theory on parenting:

your kids have enough friends at school and stuff- at home they need a PARENT!...parents are trying to hard to be friends w/ their kids instead of actually parenting them...ridiculous...

My cousins [age 6 & 2] always come over and always ruin our house! It is VERY annyoying because they won't settle down for anything! They don't want to watch movies, they throw food ALL over, our backyard is filled with fruits and stuff so that's not an option, front ward is busy with cars coming and going, and the basement is filled with workout stuff and they could get hurt playing around there. Dolls and toys get ruined and so my sister gets mad because they all belong to her. What can i do to controle and occupy these kids while the rest of us try to enjoy ourselves?!?!?

my parents were 32 when my elder brother was born and 34 when i was born and 43 when my younger brother was born. they were fantastic parents, in my opinion.

my husband and i 23 and have triplets and i am pregnant again, due in early march 2008 and in my opinion we are both pretty good parents so far.

can anyone share their experiences? is parenthood easier when you are older or younger, what do you think?

He does fine at daycare, and when he comes home, it seems like he waits to unload on me. I've done books, stickers, rewards, taking away things he likes until he goes on the pot. I have tried all I can think of.

Okay this relates to the etiquette. Yesterday my husband and I took our two year old and our 10 month old to the zoo. About noon we sat down to have lunch. We were done eating but I was leaning over to help the baby cram cheerios in his mouth when I felt someone reach in front of me and grab my soda. Hubby had gone to throw out the trash and I thought it was him so I said without looking up "Back off buddy that's mine." Then I heard him yell, "Hey what are you doing?" from about three feet away. I looked up and this 14 or 15-year-old boy was looking down my shirt and holding my soda. He was also way too close to my kids. I jumped up and yelled "Hey". The kid threw the soda at me and ran away laughing. My husband yelled what are you doing and started toward the kid. Then these two women said "Leave him alone he has autism." We backed right down and said "Oh I sorry we didn't mean to yell at him. I didn't know I'm sorry" and so on. They sat down right next to us and each lit cigarettes.

Any suggestions? I like names that are unique, maybe a little old-fashioned and ones that have a good meaning behind them. Thanks for helping!

Ive been living at my moms house for the past 2 months with my 16 month old daughter. My little 6 year old brother is such a brat! Hes always screaming & crying. No matter wat anyone does, he does not listen. He screams at the top of his lungs all the time! Its so loud. My 1 year old is usually around him when he screams. Hes not directly in her ear but hes sometimes couple of feet away. He screams like crazy a few times a day. Will this be harmful to my babys ears?!? I dont know what to do since he doesnt listen.

This story happened in July. It's about a mother and her 19 month old son getting kicked off of a plane. The reason: the child kept screaming "bye bye plane" repeatedly. Now the mother is considering legal action because she was asked to leave the flight.

Personally I think the parents should be responsible for controlling their kids. It's really inconsiderate to others if you let your kid scream and throw tantrums. The mother in the video said she didn't have food, diapers, etc. but all of those things can be bought in the airport. Watch the video here:

Hi I have a sister in law with six kids and a husband. They need to find a vehicle that seats all of them and three of the kids are in car seats. They have to buy a used vehicle so it really doesn't matter what is suggested...we are open to all suggestions. So...two adults, and six kids with room for groceries or other supplies in the back. I appreciate all your suggestions. Thanks!
