She is 26 months. She scratches our face with precision when she is angry or not getting what she want. There must be a way to curtail this. We tried the usual discouraging and the mean faces. But all for naught. She just reach out and scratch herself to just show us it doesn't hurt!

We plan on using the first name Scarlett so please if you do not like you dont have to help with this survey. We are stuck on the middle name. Mae is a family name that has been passed down for lots of generations including me. Rose is a name I just love. Which one do you like better?

it's only the 4th day of class and I already have a stack of homework a foot high. I'm not kidding. why are teachers so mean? its 11:00pm and it's still 90º outside and my house does not have A/C. it's way to hot to do school work. I get heat-sick easily (thats why I love winter... if it's 20º or less then I am happy) but I can't function in this heat. what should I do?

i babysit/watch 7 kids in the late afternoon on thursdays, im pretty good at discipline, but i need a bit of a walk through, id like to know how you discipline kids ages 3-9. like, step by step, simple and spelled out. id also like to see where you set your standards for food, say a 3 year old boy wont eat his chicken so i tell him to take _ more bites of chicken before he can go play. what number do you say?
i need to know what to do if the children are loud and scream. 2 warnings then a timeout?

i want to be better at what i do.

id like to start a clipboard like a good noodle board, and put stickers for each day that the children dont go in timeout, but i dont know how good of an idea that would be, have you tried it? how did you enforce it?

ive been with my bf for 2 years.. (hes 23 and im 22) and hes been the only guy i slept with. we are in a commited loving.. healthy relationship. sometimes we make stupid mistakes like NOT USING PROTECTION. i was actually pregnant earlier this year.. it was unplanned.. and it ended in a misscarriage cuz i was in an accident.. now sometimes we do it with no protection.. he just pulls out.. but on august 10th.. (the exact day of my ovulation) and the day i had tons of eggwhiteCM he released all of it inside me.. i think i might be pregnant now.. this is what i feel:

-the day after i ovulated.. i had a dry..rubbery.. white discharge (not-stretchy) i think it was his semen from the previous day
-since that day, ive had milk-white cm every single day and today is 12 DPO
-my period is due this friday –august 24th and usually a week before my period.. i get period cramps.. and my nipples are sore.. this time i have no pms symptoms
-at a few random times i got mild little pains/cramps in my ovary area.. kinda like a pulsing.. n it stops after a few minutes
-on 7 dpo.. I had a strange cramping.. like both sides of my ovaries were being squeezed n held.. it only lasted a few minutes n then stopped
-ive been much more hungry than usual.. n I feel bloated.. (unusual)
-sometimes im getting sharp type of pains in my bb’s like right at the top.. not around nipples… (usually get nipple pain before my period.. but I don’t)

Are these symptoms real? Cuz they are odd to me.. I mean I don’t get these symptoms before a period.. my usual pre-pms symptoms are missing.. you think im ok.. or are the chances HIGH of me being pregnant? I am worried cuz it was a mistake.. plz rate my symptoms n share ur experiences thank u

im a babysitter/mothers helper,

i have been for a couple months now, id like to know how to be better at it.

im babysitting 4-7 kids at a time, youngest 1 oldest 9, its fairly easy, but hectic at times,

so, my normal routine, arrive, entertain/watch/play with 3 kids outside, while we wait for the others to arrive,

then we go inside, and play downstairs, normally just board games, or house or dollies, and this is about when they start getting loud, (like some advice for here)

then we go upstairs and eat dinner, usually well behaved while the parents are around, although im not sure where to set my standards as to how many bites of chicken they must have before they can leave the table, etc,

then we go downstairs, and play games somewhat quietly, this is where it gets somewhat violent, the children hit, and scream, and i try my best, (need advice here)

then its about 10 pm, and its time for 2 of the kids to go home, then we dress the 5 or so children in their

I have a biological daughter that I love more then anything in the world. I can't imagine ever loving anything or anyone more except another child. If I were to adopt a child is it the same feeling of love or does it feel more like how you love another family member or close friend? I'm looking for serious answers from personal experience of having both biological and adopted children. Thanks!

the current disagreement my husband and i are having is as follows: keep in mind that i've raised 2 children to adulthood, and he has never raised any children--my 13 year old son from a previous marriage has been adopted by my current husband. we have been married for almost 5 years. things were fine with agreed upon parental decisions until my son hit pre-adolescence. here it is: i told my son that on school nights, his general bedtime should be "around 9:30." my husband thinks that should be a "rigid rule." the kid is trying to finish up his chores at night, brush teeth, finish homework, etc., and if he's not in his actual bed at 9:30, my husband threatens to begin punishing him. i have told him to back away from these minor things, that it's a GENERAL bedtime, not etched in stone. he says rules are made to be kept. i think it's utterly ridiculous to put that kind of time frame on a daily life activity that can easily vary from night to night within a 15 minute zone.

If the parents of an unborn child have sexually transmitted diseases, wont the child be born with them? I know a couple, where the expectant mother has HPV, (genital warts) and the father has Hepatitis C. As far as I know, now that they have transfused body fluids, the expectant mother now also has Hep. C. My question is will the baby be born with the diseases and is there a vaccine once he/she is born to cure it? Does the mother now also have Hep.? And will the baby have hep. and HPV for the rest of it's life?

My husband isn't thrilled about my pregnancy craving inspired dinners. I ask him what he wants, but he always says whatever, it doesn't matter. What am I supposed to do? I value sitting down at the table and eating as a family, we also have a two year old. But when one of my "inspired" dinners doesn't appeal to him, he always eats something different, at a later time.

I've been to the hospital once a week for 3 wks, and i'm progressing each week, but my contractions arnt regular, how long is this going to go on?
It's my third pregnancy and with my other 2 I was already dialated at 5cm and they kept me. Although I was seeing a doctor and this time I'm seeing the midwives, is this why they keep sending me home? Help, my body is miserable and in a lot of discomfort.
