So my friends 2 1/2 year old girl has a fear of peeing in the potty. She will go #2 in the potty. She isn't afraid to sit on it, just to pee. She has sat on the potty for 1 1/2 hours at a time and won't go. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you help your kid get over their fear?

I went to have my hormones tested, and when the doc called, she said my lutenizing hormone was up which indicated ovulation...

I had sex the night before the test, and then not again til 6 days later (husband out of town)

We are TTC, and I'm about to go on medication to regulate my ovulation and menstruation.. but how likely is it I was ovulating at the time of intercourse... or within 72 hours before or after intercourse?

I obviously need to wait and find out if I'm pregnant before I start the medication.. I'm just wondering if anyone knows the duration of elevated lutenizing hormone... so I don't get to excited that I might be...

My daughter just turned One on July 27th, and still doesn't walk. She stands alone but she hasn't even really started crusing (walking while holding on to stuff). Do you thinks somethings wrong??

My 2 year old, started crusing at 9 months and walking independently at 11 months. So I am worried. I also bought my one year old a walker, shes been in it all day and hasn't tried moving. ANy suggestions?

My 10 yr. old daughter defenetly has hair on her legs, and is begging me to let her shave. I don't remember my age so can other moms help? Also, I talked to other moms with 10 and 11 year olds, and they all said that their children shave.

Well you know how you see fake questions and people asking questions to get a rise out of you(questions like i'm 12 and pregnant, or should i get an abortion), well why do parents buy their kids computers if they can't properly use them? Where are the parents when the children a misbehaving online and are parents not aware of the dangers of the internet?

I haven't had cramps in quite a few weeks, but today I've been experiencing cramps (similar to menstrual cramps, where my ovaries would be) on and off. I don't know if this is braxton hicks or not?

Occasionally I can feel my uterus tighten, and I'm thinking that is Braxton hicks, and I only have that a few times a day, if at all. Today I've only noticed this experience once, but I've had cramping on and off. It's just making me nervous because I'm only 23 weeks...

I've been under a good deal of stress this week as well... so I'm really hoping I'm not sending myself into premature labor or anything. What would be signs of premature labor and when should I call my doctor or go to the ER?

I posted a question last night about whether or not I took my pregnancy test too early yesterday because it came back negative and today in the mail I accidentally got someone else's Parenting magazine. Think it's the universe telling me I am pregnant after all??

I know it's a long shot and I sound crazy but hey........who knows?

Is there any way you can get pregnant besides engaging in sexual intercourse? A detailed answer would be very much appreciated.

Hi, I have 2 step-daughters (they are my kids too) 12yrs & 3 & 1/2 yrs, I have one daughter that's 2 yrs & just found out today on the sonagram that we are having a fourth girl. I'm 18 weeks along. I wanted a boy at first but now I'm really super excited about another daughter. My hubby gets to pick the name this time since he hasn't got to name any of the kids. He's thinking about Samantha Lee or Carlee Jean. He likes the name Samantha & Lee is his mom's middle name. Carlton is his middle name & Jean is my mom's middle name so we thought Carlee Jean to make everyone happy. Our other daughter has my middle name so I've already got mine in there. Anyway, sorry to get long winded on my bunch. I was just curious to how many kids you all have & what's their ages???

The Walmart store in my town has taken massive amounts of toys made in China and marked the price way down. I hope these are not the toys that have been recalled! I was looking for a toy for a birthday party but everything I picked up is made in China. I'm afraid to buy any of them. Can you suggest any toys for a 1 year old girl that are not made in China?

okay so me and my husbabnd have been taking care of his 8 yr old brother for the summer and i have noticed some really strange behavior as well as my husband has. he is infactuated with the devil has made comments about physical abuse and even drew a picture of himself committing suicide and the devil carrying him off to hell...this really scares me...he also is very angry and seems to lash out at other people...my husband and i are really concerned and decided that in about a year after he finishes college and we get a bigger place we were going to try and get the kid to testify and get custody but i am starting to think that a year is to long to wait and i know a foster home wouldnt be the greatest for him either...what do i do?
we kinda know that most of this is comming from his home life...he lives in minnesota and we are in california his mom is in jail his dad is abisive and in and out of jail as well i dont understand why anyone hasnt picked up on this but we dont have the means to provide for him yet
