Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 September 2007

We just transferred her from her crib in our room 3 weeks ago. She will fall asleep in her room initially while we are sitting there with her but 2-3 hours later she starts calling for mom and dad. This goes on for 3-4-5 times a night until I get fed up and put her in our bed. She has a night light and everything else in her room to make it cozy and enticing. At least we think so. Please help us sleep deprived parents...

She came home last week from school saying that other kids at school told her she has hairy legs. I can't stand the thought of her being made fun of, but she's only in 2nd grade! I can't bear the thought of putting a razor to her delicate skin already, so if I let her, she will use an electric razor. But is she too young for that?

In our house are 16 people, soon to be 17 once my daughter has her baby. We have one bedroom for the three boys to sleep in ages (6.5 y/o and 3 y/o), then there is another bedroom that my three y/o girls sleep in along with my 4.5 y/o and my 6.5 y/o little girl. Those rooms each have an attached bathroom, and there's really no issue with showers since all 3 boys can still kind of shower together and I can shower 3 girls together and then let my 6.5 y/o shower by herself. In another room I have my 7.5 y/o and my 10 y/o twins (all girls). They also have an attached bathroom to their room. My oldest Charianna is pregnant and 16 y/o, and she has her own room on the other side of the house so that when the baby gets here they can share a room and all of that. But my two girls Danielle 14 and Scarlett 12 are the ones who are driving me CRAZY. They fight over having to share a room and a shower 24/7 how can I fix this?

When I was 15 they were kinda mean. I made mistakes (who doesn't?), was lost. They were cruel, said flat out I had lost their trust, something real parents should never say to their kids. II suffered a lot, got a harsh punishment and it took months to earn their trust back though there was no reason for that. This almost destroyed me and sure destroyed our relationship. I got over, today at 25 I'm OK, graduated and with a good job but we never made up. Now my parentd made a huge mistake, lost much money and are difficulty. My lil sister that lives w/ them asked me to help them. I can and cause of my sister I will. But how should I do that? Tell them they were so harsh and cruel to a 15 yo girl and now at their age they made a a much worse mistake. My dad promised he'll pay me, but should I tell him flat out I can't trust a 55 yo man that made such stupid decision? I'll see them tomorrow, my sister said they are grateful, want to hug me. No way, I can give them $, but hugs, NEVER!

My four year old daughter went through all of the normal phases. She was a sweet baby, then a curious one year old, she had the terrible twos, and at three she would push me and her father to the point when we were tearing out our hair. Nothing however compares to the whining! She was coming out of the age where we would bang heads on everything. My husband and I thought we were home free for a while. Then all of this started. She whines about everything. When she doesn't get what she wants, when she does get what she want and every second in between. My husband and I are losing it! What should we do?

My son is 5 1/2 months old, we started giving him breakfast at 4 months and thats all he's had since then.. just breakfast of cereal and fruit..

He was still eating every 3hrs at that age and my pedi. suggested i'd stretch the time to 4 hours. He used to eat 5oz every 3 hrs.. But now, he's eating 8oz every 4.. Since the bottles are only 8oz, thats all i make.. He finishes it to the last drop, so i think he could even take in more..

so since he's been asking for more milk, should i go ahead and add dinner/lunch? Is this him telling me he needs more food?

and he wakes up for a feeding at night also..

My 4 1/2 year old daughter used to have long hair just 3 inch above her bottom. I come to pick her up from Daycare and her hair is chopped to her shoulders. I ask them what happened, they said her hair got stuck in the toilet and cutting her hair was needed. Why couldn't they have just told me, I would have cut her hair myself, and cutting it to her shoulders was way too extreme! This was her first haircut :-(

What should I do about that daycare?

Thanks for your replies

I have a friend who is almost like a brother. [Joe] I have no problem with him. But his friends are another story. They say perverted things to me everytime I call or im Joe. They grab the phone from Joe and say things like "I love you will you marry me?" "I wanna have sex with you!" or "You are a hottie with a body!"

Then they laugh.

And just yesterday, I imed Joe and his friend said to me "I wanna rape you so hard you sh.it on my testicles."

that was it. I don't think it's funny. At ALL. How do I deal with this crap?

BTW, they are all about 14 years old.

As a rule, female employees get 3 months maternity leave to take care of the newborn baby. Is that rule applicable to a female employee, who is adopting an infant. Is theree any specific rule/law in that respect?

I'm planning on sending these answers to my parents, so here it goes. I'm 12, turning 13 in December. I'm very responsible and a straight A student. My parents don't think I need a cell phone, which I have been begging for! When I go out, I need to take my mom's phone, or borrow a friends. Its embarassing when people ask for my phone number and I can't tell them becuase its not mine! They offered to get my a firefly, but I refused because that's just as embarassing as not having a phone! I'll help pay every month, and I won't even call or text THAT much on it. Nothing works. Not even offering to do chores nd not get paid. I don't care if it's all I get for Christmas, or my birthday. Also, it will be a lot easier to get in touch with me, and they won't have to call my friends mom to see where I am! PLEASE answer this question!
