I like to see it spelled Nikolas because then you can call him Niko and I love that nickname. I asked this question about Jakob spelled Jacob or Jakob. So for those of you reading this, these questions are for a book and I want character names, but I would also love to name future kids these names.

As for Nikolas I want Nikolas Elijah Greene as a character name. Can you think of other middle names that will got with the last name for him.

And for Jakob I want the last name to be Andrews so any suggestions on middle names for him too would rock! Thank you all again.

Okay, how much is normal when it comes to an 8 month old boy grabbing himself during diaper changes? My son starts grabbing and pulling at his privates as soon as I get the diaper off. Sometimes it takes two people to change his diaper (like when he's poopy) because his hands are always in the way. ANd sometimes he pulls so hard on himself I'm afraid he's going to pull it off (not likely, I know, but still...). My other son didn't start doing this till he was like 18 months. Is this normal behavior, or should I mention it to his doctor at the next appointment?

I'd like someone with this philosophy, to explain how this is good for a child?

This particular persons sons, think I'm insane because I expect them to keep gum in their mouths and not rub it into my furniture, or because I make them wash their hands at dinner time.

They constantly think I'm mean and crazy- doesn't she see that teachers, etc. are going to expect "normal" behavior too? And that these kids are suffering because they don't know what "normal" is?

I have daycare kids who are not disciplined at home- there is no consistancy- and then they have to come to my house and follow a whole other set of rules. I think it's torture for these small kids to have to understand 2 sets of rules. (At home we can hit, at Julie's we can't. At home I can go in the fridge and spill a gallon of milk, at Julie's we can't. At home I can run out of the house anytime, at Julie's I can't. ETC ETC ETC)

Choose the baby that you believe has the prettiest eyes. Even if it isn't my son Gavin. Go by the eyes not the cuteness! : )

2007-09-12 08:49:55 · 9 answers · asked by Ashley O'Dell 2 in Newborn & Baby

I see so many kids come through my daycare with the most horrible eating habits at home- pop tarts and chocolate milk for breakfast, kool-aid instead of juice, fast food 4-6 times a week....on top of that, 90% of parents I meet do not discipline their kids at all.

I had a little boy one time (from age 2-5) who's teachers were trying to label him with ADHD because of his hyper activity and naughty behavior.

What they didn't know is that the child wasn't disciplined at home(this causes great confusion in children, when their 'at home' behavior is suddenly not ok in public)

and it was compounded by letting him eat whatever he wanted. This kids diet was appauling, yet it never came up when the school was investigating and testing him. When it did come up, the parents were not truthful.

Why do some people not take parenthood for real... I mean come on dont have children if you are not going to act grown-up! I hate people who hurt there children. You read in the news everyday about kids being killed, left behind, hurt in many ways! Why have a child if you are not going to feed him? I pray for these children!

I'm a 22 year old male, and I've decided that I don't want to have children. If I change my mind in 10 or 15 years, how hard is it to get a lobotomy reversed?

So I was messing around with my boyfriend about 5 days before my period. We did NOT have sex. Although, I think that his penis touched around my labia. He didnt ejaculate, but he might have had some Pre-C**. I was worried that I might be pregnant, But then I started my period on time. It was the same flow and color and everything. Sort of heavy. Well, from my understanding, if you had a normal period then you aren't pregnant. But People tried to tell me that you can have a period and be pregnant. Im so confused. There is a big difference between spotting and a REAL period. Right? Although, Im still a little concerned. I had sort of tender breast that only lasted for a day, some bloating, and my nipples have gotten a little darker. Do you think I am pregnant?

Honestly now. I know there are a lot of us out there that fool ourselves into thinking we are ok with working. Who of you really wish you could be a stay at home mom? What is preventing you from doing so?

My 6yr old 1st grade son has been in school for 3 weeks. I received another call from the principal this morning to come pick him up, that he is showing aggressive behavior toward the teacher. The teacher is very patient with him, but with the rules these days this can't be tolerated. I have an appointment with the therapist we used last school year, but don't really know what to do at this point. He completes school work quickly, complains of boredom, then just sometimes has a fit because he needs to correct his writing, and other days he's fine with being told to correct his writing. Sometimes I wonder if its just a game, then how do I get him serious? I need something to change or he's going to end up getting suspended and expelled from school. Not to mention my nervous breakdown

Alright first of all I am 8 weeks and 4 days along! First question is....is it alright to have morning sickness come one day and then the next be nautious but not throwing up? Second question...is it ok that my back aches...this isn't a sign of miscarriage is it? I read a lot of questions and don't really know what to believe. This is my first pregnancy and all of this is very new to me. I just want to feel better that I am not going to have a miscarriage. I don't have any bleeding or severe cramping. Just pressure in my adomine and feel things pulling. Thanks for all your answers!
