My son is 3 yrs old and he is attached to his Winnie The Pooh crib confonter that he has had since birth. He does not do good with change. The problem i'm having is he refuses to sleep with any other blanket. I have told him he can sleep with his winnie the pooh blanket along with a bigger blanket so he stays warm at night but he throws a huge fit. I will wait for him to fall asleep and sneek in his room and cover him up with another blanket, however soon after I go back in to check on him it will be on the floor. There have been times where he will bring the other blanket and will tell me "No mama". His favorite blanket is not big enough to keep him warm and he is getting cold in the middle of the night and then has an accident. So any of you ever have this problem and come up with a good solution? I'm going to put him in a blanket sleeper tonight but I feel he needs to learn to accept other things, just not sure how to go about it.

I'm 38 and am now 9 weeks pregnant and have spent the past 3 weeks being continually harrassed by my boyfriend (the baby's father) to have an abortion. Although this was an unplanned pregnancy (I was taking the pill without a missed day!), I am no spring chicken and my relationship with my boyfriend is rocky, I am resolute in my decision to see this pregnancy through. I've seen the baby on ultrasound and tears welled up in my eyes seeing what a dear little miracle is curled up in my womb. The thought of me, its mother, taking its life out of sheer selfishness, fear and justified by saying it's "not the right time" or "it's inconvenient" would haunt me forever. All my boyfriend cares about is the cost and how he already has to pay child maintenance for another child of his. There's been repreives where he has briefly been positive and changed his mind, it changes back to the same "you must do the right thing and not have it" Do you think he will change eventually? . .

So, my mom's birthday and christmas and everything is coming up. I want to get her something nice, but she insists that I get something for myself instead. She loves JCpenney, and I want to get her a $50-$80 gift card to the store. I also want this eskimo-looking hollister or ae jacket, which should i choose? the gift card, or the coat-jacket thing? I dont get an allowance, although my parents will pay me sometimes if I watch my brother. I earned money from a fundraiser we just did, and thats how I have a bit to spend.

I had unprotected sex about. . . 4 days ago.
(PLease do not give me the lecture about unprotected sex.
My boyfriend and I are trying to have a baby. We have been together for a very long time. Both of us have been tested for STDs. and we choose not to be married)
Anyways, Now Ive been having period like cramps, random waves of nausea, and it burns when I pee. Ive been peeing alot more than normal. When Im done it burns and I feel like I still have to go. Can this be signs of pregnancy? If so would I be feeling them this soon?

PS- If youre going to give me the marriage lecture or the unprotected sex lecture please do not reply.

I just found out by watching the news that there are 2 elemantry schools here that have had reported cases of MRSA. I think the school district should've sent a letter home to all parents about this. I shouldn't have to hear about it on the news. I constantly remind my daughter to wash her hands after using the bathroom and throughout the day so she doesn't get sick. Do you think the school district should've reported the cases to the parents?

This past friday my parents were gone for the weekend so I decided to have a little party at my house. There were only about 20 people there and its not like every single person there was totally wasted. We didn't break anything and I don't see what the big deal is! Well, I guess my neighbor asked why a lot of cars were parked in front of the house and my mom was like what do u mean we were gone and then i guess she figured it out! She asked me and I was like well I only had a few friends over which is true because 20 isn't a lot of people! then she asked me how many "a few" is and i told her 20. but anyways, my mom flipped out on me and now i'm grounded for 1 month and they took my car away for 2 weeks and my cell phone for 2 weeks also. this is not fair because the party was like really chill and nothing bad happened and i don't see what the big deal is and why i got such a harsh punishment! what do u think?

My husband is second generation Italian. He insists on Italian American names, as our last name is Albertini. We are pregnant with our third. 1st is Anthony Michael. 2nd is Nina Marie. Here is what I am thinking for Boys:
Frank (Frankie or Franko), middle name would probably be Arthur (family name) or Vincent - tell me honestly what you think

Girls names we like seem endless:
Naomi
Tessa
Claira (or Claire)
Amelia

Please provide input on how you like the name Frank, and some more italian american boys names. (I honestly love the name, especially Frankie when he is younger, but I am afraid my baby is going to sound like an old grandpa!!) Also, comment on the girls names.

My Mom is way overprotective. She is a single mother to me and my big sister. I am nearly 15 and my sis is 17. Our dad is not in the picture. My mom asked me the other day if i had anything that I wanted to talk to her about. I told her no, that i didn't. She dropped it then, but my sister pulled me aside later and said that for some reason mom was mad at me, but that she didnt know why, all she heard mom say (on the phone) that i was going to be severely punished. i knew that i was busted.

my mom's best friend saw me and my boyfriend (that i am not supposed to have) at the mall, we were making out. mom came home from work early and started doing laudry(she does this when she is mad) and found a letter my bf had written me about the nite that i lost my virginity.

mom didnt say anything to me about all this until after supper. (she said that she was trying to calm herself down) then she let me have it.(she wasnt calmed down much)

Ok, so I have been with my boyfriend for 4 years now. We have a child together but not married, we haven't had the best relationship. Any who, my whole life I have wanted to adopt at least one child. But just last night I found out that he's completely against adoption (yeah, I know). This is something I've wanted my WHOLE entire life, and now I can't because he doesn't like the idea??!! Do you think this is something to break up over? What would you do?

I recently attempted to take my son off of all stimulants and try a non-stimulant. It was a rough month and a half at home and at school for him. I've had to switch to a stimulant again. It's a new one called Vyvanse. Any one know it? Please don't answer this if you have nothing nice to say about the method of treatment we use for our children or ourselves.

I also have a chat room and boards for any one interested in support. I tolerate no judgeing people for wethods of treatments there wether it's with medicine or diet or anything.

For information on it please e-mail me. I am looking for a co-mod to join me. Thanks
