Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 September 2007

First off. let me make clear that I am very much a breastfeeding advocate. I breastfed both of my children well into toddlerhood. I read a lot of the breastfeeding posts on here just to get a general idea what people's opinions are. A recurrent thing that I see is people posting " I don't want my 5 year old seeing THAT" ( in reference to breastfeeding in public ) When my kids were small, a very simple explaination was sufficient when we ran into a nursing mother....so I guess, what I'm asking is....exactly what is the big deal?

she is 17 months old, and is always trying to cimb onto our kitchen and dining room table. i am consistent with giving her time outs, but she still doesnt understand that she isnt supposed to be up there. we even put safety locks on the chairs in the kitchen that tie them together so she cant pull them out, yet she found a way to move the chair at an angle so she could wiggle her way up there! help! i dont know what to do anymore. we dont want to be on super nanny! any suggestions?

ps i dont believe in spanking unless absolutely necessary.

Of every lesson your child will learn in life... what is the most important thing you hope they learn/become? And how do you intend to teach them this "life lesson"?

She will be in College too, and we live close enough for her to live home.....but she wants to move into either the dorm or into a rental house with two other girls. Is she old enough for this? I've told her that if she does that, she will have to pay for it herself because she could live at home and it isn't a necessity....

i'm 23 weeks pregnant and having problems with mine and my partners relationship. A few days ago I found emails from his ex girlfriend when I was picking up an email to sort out his health insurance. They were on facebook and he didn't realise an email is sent to your hotmail aswell when you recieve a message. They weren't anything bad really just the usuall chit chat and he did mention when she asked that he was in a relationship, but the thing thats upset me is that he told her he was thinking about going travelling for a year.. I asked him about this and he said he didn't really mean it, but alot of things in the email were rubbish, he lied about where he worked, it seemed he was trying to make himself look better. he also changed his facebook password and deleted the thread so i wouldn't find out about the emails, but i saw them through hotmail and clicked on show deleted thread. nobodys known about this pregnancy til recently because we had twin girls die last december.

I was just wondering how many people have read the story about the boy banned from school because of his nut allergy being a heath and safety risk.

Now I understand that it would be discriminative and I did infact answer the users question asking if the health and safety system has gone mad.

Now reading the story I understand why they have done it.

Its not the nut allergy at all but the fact that no - one knows how to use his epi pen. This in its self is bad that there is not one teacher that knows how to work one of these as lots of people have them I have one, but the fact of the matter is no one does know how to use one so the have asked the mother to take him out of school for HIS safety. If he had had a fit or reaction in school no one would have known how to help him and people would have been slating the school just as they are now.

I just hope the school sort out there first aid so the boy can go back to school ASAP.

Please forgive my rubbish grammer !

Hey, just wondering if any other women out there experienced nosebleeds a LOT during their early pregnancy. Personally, I'm thinking I might be pregnant and 3 days ago (exactly 7 days before I'm supposed to start my period) I started getting nosebleeds like crazy day and night. I mean, I'm just wondering if some women have ever had these maybe a week before missing their period and finding out they were in fact pregnant? I've heard this is actually a common pregnancy symptom and it baffles me. So anyone with this experience, please share. Thanks!

I don't have a problem with it if I checked out the place that would do it my girls 12 but my friends girl wants it done and she doesn't think it should because she's only 12 so she feels she's to young and yet her older daughters had their's done at 14 I can't see the difference. Whats your opinion?

My nephew is turning 3 this weekend so I need a birthday present
I don't want to be boring and give him clothes or stuff for his room but he has so much toys! I just don't want to give something that he already has.

Any ideas? What does 3 year old boys like, but not usually have? I will just go there and give him the gift, so I won't have time to bring him somewhere or arrange a fun event.
What's popular now in US? It will probably come to Europe soon so he can be a bit ahead.

Up to around US$20 would be good...

Thanks!

I am not an atheist....but don't go to church...I pray sometimes, but religion has never been a big factor in my families life....I am sending my daughter to a Christian school where they pray before snack time and hear Bible stories....I dont want to freak her out with too much talk of God....she's never heard of Him yet....what do you think? Its important to me that she learn the morals and lifestyle that goes with being Christian...
