My daughter has ADHD, but is on no prescriptions. Through diet, supplements, homeschooling and behavior management she is fuctioning fabulously!

We see a Natriopath for most all of our health needs. Why aren't kids allowed to be kids anymore?

What do you think?
I know it's wrong. Killing babies, innocents. They litterally burn the babies inside the womb. They cut them apart!
And most of all the Bible says it's wrong!
Who agrees? Or disagrees for that matter.

Alright, I am 31 pregnant with baby #2. My first is only 9 months old right now. No one has offered to throw me a baby shower and I don't expect anyone to since they are so close together. They are also both boys. But, there are things that we still need. Would it be in bad form to throw our our baby shower? I was thinking of maybe just having a cookout and have people bring diapers..I guess like a diaper shower or something. Would that be to tacky to do? Or should I just ask like my Mother-in-Law to do it? I just don't want to seem like I am asking for to much.

I have a 15 month old son and he hasnt really started talking yet. He can say 'dada' when his father is around and he says 'ta' for thank-you and he has said 'toast' a few times but that's it.
When did your children start making sentences?

Hi

My partners mum and dad are in their 60's, they had him old, he is 27. My 2.5yr old daughter is looked after by them on a Monday whilst I work.

Its started off with them refusing to use the car seat we provided and kept bringing her home/taking her shopping in just the carrycot part of her pram balanced on the back seat in his dads car.

Then its progressed since shes older with them eventually getting a booster seat for ages 4-11yr olds and insisting she is ok to go in it as she is nearly 3!

They have the seatbelt across her lap but not over her shoulder, Ive commented on this many times, its been fight after fight with my partner to get them to use our carseat as he wont say anything, often saying its ok for her!

Im at my wits end. She has to go next Monday yet Im at odds if to say something again. Ive tried just leaving the carseat with them but they dont use it.

I need her help with childcare and she's a lovely grandparent otherwise so I dont want to offend!

Does your child's school collect e-mail addresses from parents & families?

If so, how do they use the addresses that they collect? Do they send out school-wide updates? Monthly newsletters? Classroom only emailings (room parents, party planning, homework reminders)? Fundraising reminders? Requests for volunteers for events?

Does receiving email from the school/PTO make you feel more involved? Does it encourage you to be more involved, when you might not be otherwise?

What do you like getting from them? What do you wish you wouldn't get?

My boss's 2 year daughter has mono. Do you think it is wrong for him to bring her to the office, exposing all of us to mono, just so he can check on stuff, while his little one runs around the office talking to everyone (she is cute so it is hard to ignore her). When we said something about it, he acted offended as if there was no reason we should be skittish about her being here in the office with us. Duh . . . there's a reason they are not letting her go to daycare . . .

Ok say a woman is pregnant and someone kills her they get charged with 2 counts of murder right? Why does that count as killing 2 people but if you have an abortion its not considered murder? I'm not asking your opnion on abortion its a serious question I just want to know why that is thanks everyone who answers!

Do other kid's run in the road on purpose? It's scaring me but cops or school won't do a thing about it. Their parents are not there, I tried asking them to stop but they just don't listen. There being stupid. There old enough to know better.

I did some checking on the internet and if I am pregnant I am about 2 weeks along. Is that still too soon to do a hpt? I am pretty confident I am pregnant. Sore boobs, nauses all the time, the smell of certian foods that i normally love make me want to vomit. I am so tired I can barely hold my eyes opened and thats even after hours of sleep. I am so moody I can't help it. So like I said I am pretty confident what's going on. I am just not sure if its too soon for a hpt. Any help with this would be very grateful.


please only serious answers.

My 3 month old son has been really showing a preference for his left hand. He reaches out for things with his left hand. He mostly always puts his left fist in his mouth. Does this mean he'll be a lefty? I know it's a bit early, but so far he's showing a left sided preference....

I am 26 and he is 28 and have both been to the doctors and were given a clean bill of health. I do have cysts on my overies but was told that if I continue taking my medication that they shouldnt be an issue. We are both in great shape and dont drink in excess or smoke.

Does anyone have any sugestions or recomendations to help us get pregnant? Thanks =)

For the past 3 weeks I've been trying my son without nappies at night. I've been doing all the usual-no drink after 6 p.m; making him go to the toilet at least twice before he finally goes to sleep for the night. Some nights he manages to stay completely dry,but other nights he's wet. When he had his nappy, he would poo in it every night. He won't poo on the toilet, potty, or even in his pants: only in his nappy. Now that he doesn't have a nappy, he's pooing in his pjs at night (and usually weeing a little then too). No matter how often he sits on the toilet (or potty), he will not poo there. He'll hold it in until we get to day 3, when it inevitably comes out at night, despite our constant visits to the loo. I've tried everything to get him to poo on the toilet, but no joy. The other problem is that he very often sleeps through the wetness/pooing at night - it just doesn't wake him. Should I put him back in nappies or persevere, & if so,for how long? I don't want to go back to nappies
