Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 September 2007

I'm looking for a girl's name. I want it to be semi-unique but not "weird" for a white girl.
I like Annabelle, but some people say is sounds too old-fashioned. Others think it's too long of a name for a kid (to learn to write it, etc). And, I don't want people calling her Annie.
I also like Kyla, but others say it sounds like a ghetto name or is too "weird". I don't want anything too common like Kayla, Kaylie or Katelyn.

Any suggestions??

My daughter will be five next week. She just started kindergarden and already is getting in trouble being fresh. My son was nothing like her so I'm so embarrassed and frustrated to have to talk to her teacher two days in a row aboout her behavior.
I'm trying my best to talk to her and give her time outs as well...
any ideas how to get her to be a better listener and stop the fresh attitude?

I have twin daughters, 4 months old, but they were born 3 months premature, so they are developmentally only 1 month old. In the hospital, we carried constantly as it was strongly encouraged to help both the babies and the parents. Now, they are nightmares at home! They want to be carried all the time and rebel when I put then in the bouncer or swing. The minute I carry them, the screaming stops. Sometimes I don't even eat because I am carrying at least one of them constantly. Any suggestions? HELP!

I don't get this.
This lady had her 12th child and it was monster in size but thats not the issue at hand.

She said “I ate everything, we don’t have the money for special foods so I just ate potatoes, noodles and tomatoes.”

Why do people have more children or a child at all if you can't afford food?
Does the quality of life not matter?
Are people just too selfish or unitelligent to not see that the more you have the more the whole family suffers?

I won't say this is a race thing but it is for sure cultural.

Initially posted in the wrong section ...

I went to school with a girl named Quanetta. When I was in elementary school there were twin girls named Georgetta and Rosetta. I know of someone with the name of Daquantay. I hate those names! Why do people do this to their children? I realize that it is their child but some of these names are ridiculous. People, stop combining your first name, your mom's middle name and your baby's daddy or husband's last name all together to come up with names like Treylishanique!

ok this might sound a little weird but if your pregnant and when you go to the bathroom to pee do you have little white stuff floating around? or does that happen to everyone even if your not pregnant? b/c ive been seeing that a lot lately so i was wondering what that could be? thank you.

First thought that came to my mind was that they do not want to take the chance of pictures being taken to show their possible negligence...what other reason could there be?

This last weekend my daughters and I attended a birthday party that had a costumed character come visit. I was not notified that this character would be making a guest appearance at the party, along with a professional photographer. Now, I have caught wind that the parent (who hosted the party) has signed a waver with the character/photographer company allowing them (the company) to use any and all pictures taken at the party for promotional purposes- be it their website, advertising mailers, phonebook, newspaper, etc. I am upset because this parent did not check with me before signing this waver! MY kids are in almost all the pictures... I have 2 absolutely beautiful girls, and the thought of my daughters’ pictures being used where ever and whenever makes me very uncomfortable! I can’t approach this mother because she is so unbelievably sensitive, she would turn this into a fight, so I called the owner of the company and voiced my concerns..
