My son is 4 and drives me nuts sometimes! Does the concept of looking for something not start until older than 4? Like his shoes. If i tell him to go find his shoes, he willl stand in one place and look in one direction, then say he cant find them. If i tell him to look everywhere, he will look in another direction, then say he cant find them. Its like this with anything i ask him to get or find. How do i teach him to look for something, or is it a lost cause?

I am about 7 weeks pregnant, and have not had my first prenatal visit yet. I was wondering if it is normal to have mild headaches regularly during the first trimester, and I wanted to make sure it is okay to take tylenol for the headaches.
Thanks!

I'm talking about stay at home moms vs. working moms.

i was reading a couple questions and its like there are two teams fighting against each other.. it was kinda sad really.. when we all do what we have to do, and all try to have happy familys.. which is the same result we all want..

my family for example, my husband works i stay home with the kids, we have one car, right now my getting a job would only cover the cost of daycare so we decided it was pointless for me to work.

my brothers family, they live in a large house, have two very nice cars, and both work well paying jobs, are beginning to have children and know that both must work to continue to make ends meet.

neither of us resent the other, why do people seem to resent each other for the way their lives?

My family was friends with the family in question since we moved in to the neighbor hood and more since I became a stay at home mom. The husband ahas always seemed strange to us. The wife paranoid and sheltered, but a good person. Their girls are the same age as ours..so they became bff's. The mom told me she walked in on the husband touching one of the girls through her jeans in private areas. She freaked out,she said.According to her they went to counseling and he confessed he was thinking about having sex with her when the mom caught him. She says he molested his sisters with his father at the age of 12. I tried to help her make a plan and figure out how to get away from him. I told her it would be easy to get a restraining order with that kind of information. I would help her, make the calls myself, go with her. Take in her children, so she could confront him by herself. She did nothing. Its been 4 months since she told me. She says am to blame. What should I do?

My daughter has a flat head in the back and obviously I no it is from being laid down to much. She is 9 weeks old and when I take her to the daycare I tell them not to let her lay down all day. But when I get there she is always laying down and I ask if they held her much everyday and they said no not really we have just been really busy. So my question is what can I do to make sure her head doesnt get any worse? I am not switching daycares. Is there anything that they can put her in so she isnt always laying down? She can hold her head up pretty well on her own.

so, why do they think they are better then working mothers? They are truly in the minority.

Just b/c a mother works, it does not make her a bad mother. Working moms can have just as good bonds/relationships/parenting skills and styles as SAHMs.

I know a few SAHMs and they are lazy. Not to stay that ALL SAHM are like that. But, for every working mothers, there is a "lazy" SAHM out there too.

I was the child of a working parent. As an adult, you won't know that. I'm just as well-adjusted and productive as the next adult. I went to college and am working on a master's degree.

In high school, I was on a varisty sports team, member of the yearbook, in the community service club and I taught religious ed. I never drank, did drugs or had sex.

However, I had many friends w/ SAHM and a few of them got into tons of trouble in high school and post-high school. Right now, one has quit school, doesn't have a job and lives w/ her boyfriend who she cooks and cleans for.

My 2 1/2 year old is an only child. She plays by herself at preschool no problem. But when she's at home, she doesn't play alone for more than five minutes before she starts coming over to me trying to get me to play with her. I like playing with her, but I think she needs to learn to play alone, even if it's 15 minutes at a time. Any ideas?

After all, a suit in court is how an adult would take care of harassment or an assault or battery. I say let the punks know how the real world works!

I recently conceived and at 6 weeks miscarried. Ever since my husband & I have had sex and still nothing. I wouldn't say we are truly "by the book" trying but everytime I tell him I'm on my period he is always asking me Really?? How Come?? With us there is no pill taking, calendar counting, etc. We are just doing the good old "deed". Question I am asking is why is it soooo difficult to get pregnant. It seems for the longest time I was always extremely paranoid about having sex because I was worried about getting pregnant before we were married & now that I am married I am amazed at how hard it really is.Does anyone else get what I'm saying?? I mean who knows if we tried on my so called "fertile days" we may have an easier time, but I still am amazed how there's such a science to it. In all honesty we have only been married since march & I lost my first in june so it's not like it has been forever. But for some reason I thought it would be much easier, have sex=have baby.... guess not

Hi, I had acute liver failure 2 yrs ago, and I am 26 weeks pregnant. My Liver Function Test results show that it is returning, as I have developed severe itching. I had my Anti-natal appointment today and they have put me on Urso and Vitamin K, the main thing I am most worried about is that my doctor gave me Steroid injections to mature my unborn babys lungs, why have they given it me so early, is there a strong chance of my baby being delivered early? I know there is a good chance that my baby will survive this early but it is still a worry as the doctors have'nt really told me much about what is going to happen, just that they gave me the steroids (JUST IN CASE) I dont know what going on. Is there anyone out there that may know anything about what is happening?

My Liver Function Test Results were:
Bilarubin - 38
Alk Phosphate - 318
Alt - 35

Please can anyone help me?

I might have got my ovualtion day wrong. I was supposed to start my period today and still haven't. I usually start when I wake up first thing in the morning.
I got a neg test last night. Though it wasn't first morning urine. I did use a first response! I figured being the day before my period it would detect a positive. I haven't had any cramps for over a week. Which I figured was implantation cramps. I usually get bad menstraul cramps starting about 4 days before my period!
Any late testers who got negs and then a late positive?

Oh and I have had sore nipples not boobs. Which I don't get before AF.. The soreness is getting less noticeable though!

My fiance and I are both proud first time parents of twins, a boy and a girl who are 2. I am 21 and my fiance is 26. I love children especially babies and my fiance would like to try and have one more. However, I am really set that I do not want to have anymore children especially knowing we already have a boy and a girl which is a perfect instant family and also, the possibility that I could get pregnant again with twins. I am not trying to be selfish or arrogant, but we already have 2 beautiful children and I think that is a complete family. Anyone else been in this situation and have any answers or suggestions??

Hi. I have a 3 year old son. I signed him up for swim lessons last week. We went 2 times and both times he cried (hysterically) the entire time. He loves the pool and is a good swimmer for his age - so it's not because a fear of the water. He's on the shy side and it may be because he's not comfortable with the instructor (who is very nice and very patient with him).
He has a class scheduled for this afternoon and has been crying about it all day. Do you force him to go or just forget it? I feel torn - because when he's there - he's so upset he's not learning anything and if I just don't bring him anymore I feel like he sort of "won" this battle and don't want him to think he could "cry" his way out of things he doesn't want to do.
I should also add that my son is pretty much a good kid - he doesn't have tantrums, is not a whiner and is pretty much well behaved, and has never cried his way out of anything before.
Thank you :)

Have any of you been with a man that you knew you were going to marry. And you would be married (except the whole large amount of money at once for a wedding and rings). And the two of you wanted a child but didnt want to wait for the wedding? If so how did that work out? Also I am 21 and he is 29 any stories on have a child at either of those ages, struggles that might be due to age? I just want to be prepared. By the way we have a house, both have new cars, and good jobs. So we are able to provide for a child.
