My son lives with his dad and even though his father beats him he can't ask for CPS because he does not want to go to bording school or foster care. I live in a different city and can't help him. Whom do I call for help?

I'm so tired in the morning and sometimes when our one year old boy wakes up during the night and my husband tries to get me to get going and pitch in. I feel like he's calling me a lazy child that is more of a burden than a help and I haven't even woken up yet. Do you know what I mean?

or the pack n play.

I babysit her and today she thought it would be a good idea to climb out of the pack and play that she sleeps in.
I have heard of the nets that cover the cribs and pack n plays but dont know if they work or where to get them from.
AND, should I be responsible for the purchase of it or should it be the parents responsibility since its their pack n play?
She is VERY behind for her age and in NO way ready for a bed...toddler or otherwise. Here in lies my dilema.

The mother told me that she may climb out but has done nothing to help in the prevention of the situation.
I hate to say it but the parents are pretty lazy.
I told mom today what happened and she just laughed and said that she was waiting for me to tell her that.

My 9 month old baby is teething and has really bad diarreah. Also has a really bad diaper rash. I've tried A and D but is not doing anything, her doctor also gave me a prescribtion but also not doing anything. What can I give her for her diarreah? So far today she's only drank 2 6 oz bottles and right after that she used the restroom bad. She doesn't want a bottle anymore. She also got her shots 2 days ago I don't know if that could also be a reason why she is sick. What can I feed her that can help her stomach.

The father of my granddaughter just got out of boot camp. He told my daughter that the Military doesn't think that the baby is his and they won't start an allotment until he has a paternity test done. HE was the one who signed his name on her birth certificate and the Military gave her a Military ID card. He won't tell my daughter where he's at or his CO's name so I have no idea how to find him. How do I go about finding him? Please help.

Is it okay to have kids share rooms? We have a two year old girl and are expecting our second here soon. We have a two bedroom house, and the bedrooms are decent sized (about 12 ft by 10 ft). I guess what I'm worried about is that the baby crying will wake up our two year old, or if our two year old gets up at night while we're sleeping and tries playing with the baby or covering the baby up and ends up really hurting the baby. Also, if the baby is a boy, then is it really proper for them to share a room? We bought our hose only two years ago, and we have to live in it five years before we can move or sell it. What are your suggestions/ opinions?

I'm 4 months pregnant (17 weeks) and I went on a 3D ride that lasted about 5 minutes max, if anything a bit shorter. I thought it was only 3D without movement but it moved a lot. I'm worried that it might have had an affect on my baby. Should I be concerned?

if your child, say in there 20s came to you and told all the things that they used to do to get away with things or hide things from you or just simply told you things that you never even dreamed that they had done would you feel, hurt, angry, would you find it interesting, or helpfull for your younger children. just how would it make you feel

i started using opk's about a month ago. i decided to try the "anwswer" brand of tests. well, for a week straight it gave me a positive answer. so, i got scared and bought a different test. i took them both- one was positive (the answer) and one was clearly negative. hardly a line there at all. this brand was clear blue easy. anyways, someone told me that having too many positive opk's could mean that i have pcos. i looked up the symptoms. i do have skin tags, but those can be caused by other things, right? i don't have any other symptoms of pcos. i made an appt. with my gyno just to be sure... but do u think i got a bad batch of tests or what? if you DID have pcos- would it just come up negative one day, or stay positive?
