My 10 year old daughter is turning into a tomboy! She loves to hunt and do anything outdoors with her daddy, which is great! I love the fact that she is close with her dad because I never was. The problem is that she likes to wear camo shirts (all the time), and a camo hat too. A woman at walmart actually called her a boy last weekend! Is it wrong for me to want her to look more like a girl? I insisted that her new school clothes be decent looking...not just t-shirts...but not all pink on the other hand! I don't want to take away her personality, I just want her to be a girl!

you might notice another question i asked earlier but it turned into a rucus, i dont blame them. here's the question i meant, what would you do if you got pregnant and your still in school, junior high, highschool somewhere around there and you know your parents will kill ya if they find out, the point is that these situations happens alot, im just doing it for kicks and maybe giggles but this might help those people that would find thereselves in this situations

My son is 3 1/2 and I was just curious if other 3 year old kids are involved in extra curriculars... like sports or music lessons....

My son was in baseball "smart start" where they just learn basics. He went once a week for an hour for about 6 weeks.

Now we are going to start gymnastics, once a week for 50 minutes for 2 1/2 months.

I'm not one of these parents who has their kids speaking 3 languages and playing tons of sports!! Preschool is insanely expensive, and I'm just trying to get him involved in stuff so he can be around other kids.

He is very very athletic and has a TON of energy. I want to give him the tools to succeed (Tiger Woods started at 2, lol!), but I don't want to expect too much.

Your thoughts?

I have the most amazing boyfriend ever. We're in a long distance relationship but I just got back from visiting him. I'll probably be going up there again at the start of December to visit him again. I'm moving up there in February next year.

Anyway, it'll be our 3year anniversary next year and I want to buy him something really special that's really meaningful.

I'm 17 and he's nearly 19.

Has anyone got any suggestions?

(Price doesn't matter)

I have 3 kids, 10, 4, and 1 1/2. My 4 yr old is deaf and takes a lot of attention and my youngest has been in and out of the hospital and also requires a lot of attention. We don't really go places. I had to stop working a move in with my dad so my money isn't what it use to be. I have tried to explain it to her but she needs one on one time with me which is hard since no one can really take care of the youngest. My 10 yr old doesn't talk to express herself or her wants and needs unless I poke and prod it out of her. What do I do? Where should I take her? What do 10 year old girls like to do. I try painting nails, doing small crafts or watching movies. She also spends HOURS doing homework (she has prob. w/math so i give her practice work. No more than 10 probs) on the weekends. This past weekend she literally spend 20 hours sitting at the table doing work for 7 problems. What am I missing? I know she daydreams instead of working, but there has to be more to it...doesn't it?

The fabric on the Swaddlers is so much softer than on the other diapers I've tried, except the Huggies equivalent. Has anyone used a generic store brand that is as soft? My daughters skin is irritated by the plastic of most brands. Thank you for your help!

okay so i got off my period on the 15th of aug. and i would start on the 10th of sep. todays the 27th i believe .. that means my next period doesnt start for another 14 more days. i've had sex just about everyday since i got off my last period. (unprotected)
& yes, we're trying to concieve.

a few days ago my boobs became really sensitive around the nipple area (my boobs never get tender or anything while ovulating.), i've been extremely tired, loss of appetite, and last night after me and my boyfriend has sex i spotted a little bit. i get nausous, but im not sure if thats because of the fact that im worried or exicted about being pregnant.

is it too early to be having symptoms?
when should i take a preg. test.?

I have not seen evidence of it on any of the things in the classroom, but on the paperwork that she sends home, there are numerous misspellings. They are not typing errors either - since they are typically handwritten. Today she wrote that they worked with "micrascopes". And it is quite obvious it is an "A" - it isn't that I'm mis-reading it. I just worry that the children are at such an impressional age and spelling is a huge pet peeve for me. Am I just being an annoying parent? Or should I mention something to the administration?

as soon as you put my one year old in her crib she starts screaming the only way she stops is if she cries herself to sleep ( which can be up to 3-4 hours) or if i go in am pick her up. Most days it doesn't matter if I am in the room or not. I have been letting her just cry herself to sleep cause people say she will just give up and eventually the crying will get less and less. I have been doing this for 5 months now and the crying isn't getting any better and it is now affecting my marriage. Help

is a pregnancy test a routine or mandatory test when a girl has abdominal pain or complains of pain in her stomach when or if she goes to the doctor? Or do you have to request that test?

My best firend and her husband dont put a condom on till he is really close, and they have sex pretty frequently. her period is 5 days late. Should she bother doing a pregnancy test? What are the chances?

My husband and I are in a debate and he feels that when you request something (i.e. 'Would you turn off the light?') that you don't have to say 'please' as the person can answer 'no'. And then only if they comply, then it is the time to say 'thank you'. He doesn't feel there is a need for the use of the word 'please'. I feel our daughters will sound rude or commanding, rather than requesting if they do not use the word 'please'. Please help us end this debate. Thank you.

I had my baby on the 17th of June via c-section. I slept well for the first month because my mother helped. Now, on my own, even when dead tired, I can't fall asleep until well after 7 in the morning. Even if baby has finally fallen asleep I cannot sleep. I was prescribed Xanax for four days for this very problem and had been able to sleep. Now, off it, I suffer once more.

Almost back-to-school time! My kids are entering grade 1, so first time being at school for lunch. So far all I can think of is sandwiches (on bread, buns, bagels, pita pockets, tortillas ect), and macaroni salad. I need some more ideas, it has to be cold since there is no microwave. I tried getting them a thermos, but the only one at the store that isn't glass-insulated/breakable doesn't work, food doesn't stay hot. So any ideas, other than sandwich concoctions? Oh and they have peanut/nut allergies, so nothing with those in it.

Thanks

I am 37 weeks pregnant...I registered for a high chair, and received one at my shower. However, I am starting to wonder how truely necessary/useful a high chair is. I know i wont get any use out of it for a good while...but I have heard of people using bouncy chairs (Which I have) instead. What is your take, is a high chair a waste of money, or an essential item for baby?

I am a divorced mother of a 6 year old that I was able to have through invitro. I could never get pregnant w/in 10 years of unprotective sex with my ex. I have been with someone who is my fiance for 2 years and got pregnant. I work for an employer who does not offer insurance but the self insurance I do have, maternity benefits was just an option. An infertile person age 35 does not even think of buying maternity insurance yet use birth control! C'mon, miracales happen but when 2 fertility doctors tell you that your tubes are scarred and your eggs are not quality to be fertilized on their own, maternity insurance is a universe away...i am 20 weeks and have been paying out of my ass for the appts. I don't qualify for medicaid because I make way too much. I've even contemplated cutting my hours just to get medicaid but I'm just not sure. My fiance as well works for a small family based business that he buys his own insurance as well. Am I just SOL w/a $10-15k bill?
