my boyfriend's 4 year old son has Pneumonia. My boyfriend just came back in his son's life and his son is his world. he would lie, kill, steal, and cheat for his son. as he should. knowing my boyfriend he would drink his pain away or just sit alone in a dark room. i don't know what's worse. but me being his girl i want to be there for him.but he doesn't want to talk and i understand that. should i just step aside until he come's to me? i don't know what to do. i want to be there but i know he wants to be alone and i know know that he wants to look up and see a pair of eyes assurance. sighs. i know when his son pulls thru he would never want to be away from his son again. i know this. so if that means him gettin back wit his son's mother just to be wit his son everyday of his life. that's what's his gonna do. period. no questions no if ands ot buts. so meaning loving my bf as much as i do i would step aside and not fight him gettin back with her for the sake of their son

Well my daughter is 6 weeks old, she was born a month and a half early and weighs now probably 8 pounds or almost 8 pounds. she eats in between 4-6 ounces within a two hour period and she will be hungary again two hours later, sometimes three. I know it's normal to eat every two-three hours but is it normal she is eating that much???? How much should she be eating at this age???

My second question; The past four days/nights she has not been sleeping at all, she will sleep for maybe 20-30 minutes wake up crying and stay awake for about 2 hours or so then she will fall asleep again for about 20-30 minutes then wake up again for another two hours or so, this is all day all night. She wakes up EVERY hour all night long and during the night while she is awake she is crying (she has this cry like she is dying), any idea's on why she is not sleeping??? How i can help her sleep more?

I took an hgc wednesday my number was 187 at 5 weeks from my last period. today friday i went in for a sonogram and checkup since i was spotting yesterday just like 5-6 drops of a brownish-red... but they didn't see anything no sac just some thinckening of my lining in one spot. Is it possible that the baby just implanted yesterday and i can still have a healthy pregnancy? Has anyone got a sonogram at 5 weeks and seen the same and gone on to a happy healthy pregnancy? this is baby 2 and baby one i had no spotting... please be honest!

the negative effects of marijuana are brain damage,mental illness,etc. but if used properly marijuana can be used for good.i think all marijuana charges should be misdemeanors not a felony.is marijuana a gateway drug to other more addictive drugs?does child neglect result from parents who smoke marijuana,can marijuana and other drugs be directly linked to child abuse?

I am 25 weeks pregnant and already I can see my stomach move when she kicks. Is this early or does it happen for most around this time? I think it is so neat to see my tummy move like that. I love being pregnant!

I know that everyone loves a baby, and they are just so precious you could grab them and hug them. BUT, I don't touch people's children if I don't know them. I think it's weird for the parent and unhygenic. Other parents don't know where my hands have been, and I don't know where other peoples hands have been. So, how can I keep people from touching my 4 month old without being rude. Although, I will be rude if I have to!!

I find out in just over a week if I'm having a boy or a girl... So, I've been thinking about baby names A LOT lately. If it's a boy, he will be Oliver Steven (Oliver after my great-grandfather and Steven after my husband and his father).

If I have a girl, I think her name will be Paisley Rae (Rae because it's my grandfather and mother's middle name and the first part of my first name).

Yes, I know Paisley is a pattern and I know it's a city in Scotland. Also, Paisley IS a name, it was ranked 835 in 2006 on the SAA Popular Baby Names List.

I just want to know... What do you think of it???

1.The mother no longer wants the child
2. The grandmother is willing to raise the child.
3. The mother is willing to sign the child over to the grandmother.
4. The father also wants the grandmother to raise the child.
What do they have to do to make everything legal.

My baby has been drinking prune apple juice for 3 months now, He is 6 months old. I was wondering when he will start poohing on his own? He relies on it to pooh, if he doesn't drink his 2 portions of juice in a day his stool's are hard.. When does he start poohing on his own without the juice? Is this something to be concerned about He is almost 7 months old and i just starting giving him the juice twice a day, because once a day wasn't working. im afraid there's something wrong with his stomach.. but his doctor keeps telling me there's nothing wrong.. just keep giving him the juice, but it doesn't make any sense why my baby would have to relie on juice inorder for him too pooh?!?!

My husband says it is better in the long run. Just wondering how many out there had it done to their litte boy and what your thoughts are on the subject.

I want to purchase the Fisher Price safe voyage deluxe car seat. Its been rated well for safety and everyone that has one likes it. The problem is, every review I see on ANY car seat says that the seat really doesn't seem secure without LATCH holding the seat in.
Now, I'm getting really worried. My car doesn't have latch. Neither does my husband's truck, or her grandparent's vehichles. Our cars are 98 and older, but theirs are newer. I ead on consumer reports that you need to make sure a car seat doesn't move and inch in any given direction when you install it. Her infant seat moved ALL OVER the place because it couldn't be used with latch. The whole thing flipped upwards! And the police told me it was installed right! What am i going to do? Do I ahve to go out and get a new car or what??

I give my 6 year old £1 pocket money each weekend. She likes to save it at the moment, to buy lego sets.
Her father (who is unintelligent) knows this, but still turns up here and gives her £5 or even £10 'to buy lego', quite regularly.
I have to keep giving it back to him, though he doesn't learn and buys her expensive lego sets on whims.
This is becoming yet another problem.
I think I should take the stuff he buys and put it away for xmas.

My sons two and a half but he has the mental capacity of a 3 three year old. (just saying do you don't tell me to have him play with foam blocks or learn how to spell his name. We are in my apartment and we have not yet found a park of some place for him to play outside. So if you could tell me some fun inside games that would be great. Thank you!
