Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 September 2007

My kids are 14, 16, and 17, and they have some good moments, mostly with people ourside our immediate family, but too me and to each other they are mostly bratty, snotty, self-centered, argumentative, juvenile, disrespectful, moody, irresponsible, self-destructive, other-destructive, slobs. They've attended Christian church and camps since they were small, but more and more they are resembling our materialistic morally degraded society. I am out-numbered and overwhelmed. What can I do?

i know someone who has a daughter but has expressed an interest in adopting a second baby. she is single and middle class, not rich or poor. she would take an international child too, just not one with severe problems (since she has to work and could not care for a severely handicapped child financially either). how much does it cost? of course, it's FREE to go out and make a baby, but she'd rather give a home to one who needs it if she can afford to.

I'm curious if they grew up and felt they had rights being violated, would you stand by them and support adoptee rights activism?

would you protest sealed records with them?
would you protest ethical treatment of infants with them?
why? or why not?

I have just been informed that I have a subseptate uterus and while I was once happy my pregnancy is progressing as per normal (im 9 weeks) all of a sudden now I am gripped with fear. Is it likely I will lose my much longed for baby? Or give birth premature? Has anyone else been told they have a subseptate uterus & had healthy pregnancies? Im terrified.
Thanks in advance :)

1) Benjamin Moises
2) Angel Miguel

As you might be able to tell, I am looking for a name that translates well in both English and Spanish. Also, any middle names to go with Moises would be appreciated. Thanks!

Should I use that as one name with a middle name or use it by itself with our last name? (By the way, our last name is a 2 syllable name. I'm not putting it on here tho!)

My friend is pregnant with her second and I want to give her a list of names that will go well with her baby girl's name. She already has a son's name picked out. I'd like a list of baby girl's names that go well with Celina Grace.

Thanks :)

My daughter is 13 as some of you already know. I am trying really hard to be patient etc. Now the thing is she has a bad attitude at times and getting on my nerves. She tells me "WHAT ARE YOU GETTING SO UP TIGHT MOM"? I have noticed I have been on edge due to my own personal problems and she has been a little bit more testing with me. Now what I need advice is the consequenses. I do take away her T.V. time and other things but it seems it doesn't work. He attitude is "OK" and that is that. She doesn't get upset anymore over the punishment. I am really starting to get over the edge and she knows it. I know I can get over board on punishment because I get so anger. I don't hit her but I yell to get my point across. What should I do???

our 10 months vomits her food shortly after and sometimes during feeding.ive tryed various foods but no cure.its not every time but i get a little concerned when she does. shes been on solids for over 4 months and only in the past few days has she started doing this.could it be a sign of teething as she is also pushing the bottle away?i must add that we were on a 13 hr flight about 10 days ago and could it be a delayed reaction of jet lag?she is not losing weight and filling her nappy regularly.if anybody has solutions to this problem then i would love to hear from them.

My friend said that babies come from some where else and not the stork, but my parents say the stork drops them in the chimney. So did I get dropped on my head by a bird or what?

My Dad's name was Anthony but everyone called him Tony. I just found out that I am having a girl and I want to name her something that is after my Dad. I don't like Tonya or Antonia. I do like Antoinette but only as a middle name. I was thinking of something like Toni-Lynn. Any suggestions?

I have took notice that over the last couple days, I have had pain in my upper legs near my thighs almost. And it feels like I just ran 3 miles without stopping. But this pain makes me not want to do anything except just lay down. I went shopping with my mom today and was more exhausted then I usually am. And I started getting not a hurting pain, but a pressure near my pelvic area. I go to my OB Thursday so I will ask her, but til then, can someone help me out. I am 25 Weeks pregnant

my mother in law told me flat out that she wanted to come to my sonogram with us next week in which we should find out the sex of the baby. I always tought that that was a bonding time between a couple. Am i being too corny and should bring her along or should i ignore her request like my husband suggested?

Let's say for example there is a family with 7 boys. Would the oldest one hit puberty at age 11, the second 12, and the last born being a late bloomer and hitting pubert around 15 or 16?

A girl in my class named her girl after a Greek goddess (of rainbow)named Iris; but l would name her after the Goo Goo Dolls song. (I'm not pregnant, nor will I be for a looong time)

There's a song by The Goo Goo Dolls called Iris, talking about how they love someone so much and that person looks like heaven

I don't get it. Sometimes he falls asleep at 8:00pm and other nights it's not until 10:00pm. I try putting him in his crib with a bottle and read a story and play his music however it doesn't always work. I know he is tired because like a idoit I take him out of his crib when he screams and he's rubbing his eyes and isn't interested in playing with his toys. If i'm in the room with him he just stands in his crib and looks at me and either crys, laughs or jumps. So many other moms i have talked with have said their child is on a schedule and sleeps at 8:00pm every night. What am I doing wrong? Please help!!!!

My friend (20) who I met when she stole my ex boyfriend, we are completely okay now (he was a creep). Anyways she is 8 months pregnant, and has posted naked pictures of her, her breast, and her belly (covering her boobs with her hand). When I say posted I mean on her myspace. Now she is known for excentric behavior, like being obnoxiously rude to people she doesn't like, starting drama, etc. I was wondering if you think this is appropriate? I mean I think pregnant bellies are so cute when photographed better. What do you think?
