My step-son who is 5 years old and in kindergarden is unable to spell his name. I have tried everything I can to teach him it. I don't know if he really can't do it or just doesn't want to do it. He is not a kid who likes to put much effort into anything he does.

It seems to me that society is being screwed up by parents who refuse to use the word "no" to their children. Most kids today seem to have more toys than they know what to do with, and don't know the value of anything.

A bit of smacking wouldn't do any harm, either.

My oldest son Jonah (3) always throw fits while my youngest Noah (10 months) is real mellow. I try to take them for walks, but out of the blue my son Jonah throw's fits about going. Noah loves the walks. I put my oldest in time out, but then I can't take Noah on the walk. I've tryed later but he does it all over again. I have no one to watch Jonah so Noah don't feel like he's punished. So now I'm woundering how I punish Jonah ( while he is screaming and kicking) and not make Noah feel he is in trouble too. He is too young to understand.

Question 1: We're trying not to get our hopes up because it was difficult with the ultrasound. The baby has the cord in between the legs. The dr stated that the child had more tissue near in between the legs, so he's assuming its a little boy. Does anyone know what he means by *extra tissue*? Is he referring to penis, balls, fluid in the balls or what? He also stated that little girls DO NOT have this. So for now, we're going with a boy.

Question 2: Toward the beginning of pregnancy, it was very disappointing since I wasn't gaining any weight. I kept eating, taking vitamins, and all that. All what the dr told me to do. I'm 5 months (20 weeks as of Sept 12) and the last appointment I gained 2 lbs. Within 20 weeks of pregnancy, I've only gained 2 lbs! My stomach is flat, doesn't puff out or look like a watermelon (like my sisters did with two girls), so did any of you have a flat effect when having your little boy? No stomach sticking out or little sticking out? Is this just generally a stated give away its a boy like the dr is saying?

I just asked a question about a freind wanting to open a daycare.. She experimented with marijuana when she was young and got caught... She was 16 then.. now she is much older, has a nice house, a husand, her own kids... and so on.. A wonderful person..
The responses I got were that they would never leave there children with her..
Now tell me people.. You guys have never experimented with marijuana? Tell me also why you dont think someone can change from there childhood when they become an adult..
also tell me, why everyone thinks that people cant change.. because people can... People change all the time...

I really think depression is playing a really big part in this and lack of space to store my things. I live in a studio apartment and feel completely overwhelmed.

What do you think of:
Amber Marie
Andrea Rose
Chloe Anne

And I need a middle name for Tristan. Father's name is Vincent. THANX!!

In todays society everyone wants to be unique, but then we have names like Madison, Taylor, Aidan, and Hunter. I have seen these names everywhere! If you name your kid Madison, she is probably going to go to school with 30 other kids with the same name. Why do it? Didn't you hate going to school with 30 other Sarah's or Shelly's depending on your heyday?

1.) my daughter hates tummy time, the dr said to have her on her tummy for 10 mins at a time 3 times a day, but she screams and cries, she seems miserable, i hate to watch her cry, she gets so angry that she moves herself around, by kicking her legs.what can i do to encourage her to like it? will her lack of enthusiasm delay her when it comes to crawling, holding her head up and walking?

2.) we finally graduated to eating ( breastfeeding) every 3 hours about 11 days ago, but for the last couple of days during the daytime she cries with hunger about every 2. what does this mean? is she having growth spurt?

My daughter is 5 years old and has had a fever for almost a week. She went to the pediatrician and he said it was an upper respiratory infection because she had a cough as well. Today she woke up with spots on her and I think they may be chickenpox. It is on her back, arms,legs, behind, and face. There are like 3 on her face. I am asking any experienced parents for their info.

Help!!! My husband and I can not agree on one single baby name. I really like more unique names and he likes more plain names. Everytime we start talking about what we should name our baby we end fighting. Here are some of the names I like:
Girls:
Arianna
Kyla
Savannah
Jamilynn
Brianna
Madelynn

Boys:
Brayden
Carson
Preston

My husband only likes names such as Mark, John, Amy, Jane

Please help us find a name that would possible fit both of our styles. List as many as you would like

I am trying to come up with boys and girls names and am really struggling. I like unique names. My last name begins with a T.

For a girl :Taryn or Tatum

For a boy: Cohan Jeffrey

What do you think of these names? Any suggestions?

I had picked out the name Ava months ago, but have in these final days totally changed my mind, due to the fact that it's becoming SO so popular. Someone suggested Teagan which I love! However, I prefer the pronounciation "Tay-gan" over "Tea-gan". What alternate spelling (aside from Taygan) would make this pronounciation clear. Also! If you have a middle name to suggest that'd be so helpful!

My husband, Mike and I are expecting our fourth child. We are arguing between names for our baby girl. I am due in two and a half weeks.

Like I said, we have three children already; two girls and a boy.
The names of my other kids are Chloe Laurelle, Syler Ceydric, and Peyton Sophia. It is a tradition in my family to use the name that you were going to name the child, and put it as the middle name. For example, we were torn between the names Peyton and Sophia for my third child, so we decided on Peyton and used Sophia for the middle name.

Anyway, Mike and I both have names that we would like to use. We already know that one will be the middle name and one will be the first name.

I chose Aila and my husband chose Evelyn after his grandmother. I hate the name Evelyn and told him that I will not name my daughter that. I never even knew his grandmother so it is unfair. She never comes to visit and has never even talked to our children. What should we do?

This is my 2nd month charting and tracking ovulation. I'm only on cd 14 for this cyle. Last cycle I ovulated day 16.

Have you ladies always ovulated on the same day or does it vary? If it varies, by how many days?

Thanks!

Is this a myth or really is recommended? I mean don't the sperm know where to go? If I don't elevate my hip, does it prevent my chances to conceive?
