How many of you have used this method to determine the sex of your baby and it was correct? According to when I conceived it's going to be a girl.

My 5 year old daughter has in the last month or two become so snotty and rude, she is constantly talking back and not listening. I dont even know how to describe how bad it gets, but i'm a very laid back single mother and not much bothers me but when she acts like this ( which is all the time) i dont even want to be near her, it upsets me so much. I know it's part of a 5 year old, but how do i get her to realize she needs to be more polite and listen and use her manners at home?
thank you.

She almost attacks me then gets all worried afterward. It has been almost 3 months of this and it happens over and over. Sometimes I feel a bit offended I mean she will not stop pestering me then I hear about it for 3- 4 days and then she starts up again....I've suggested birth control but she is over 35 and smokes. I can not use condoms for 2 reasons one is I'm allergic to latex and the other I can not explain here. She refuses to use any insertion type of B/C (because she practices partial Catholicism). I need some real advice! I love her and ditching her is not an option.

I'm just curious. How come when it comes to shopping things for the baby it's always the mom that picks out the cute silly stuff? I'm not being stereotypical I'm just realizing this.
I designed baby t-shirts in college and my I love daddy shirts always sold but never my i love mommy shirts. I'm assuming the moms were the ones buying them. In the store i work we have silly baby shirts and it's always moms looking at the shirts, next to never dads. Plus whenever I go shopping for my niece my mom and I are always thinking how cute one thing is for her while my dad and brother keep thinking, she's in infant she's not going to care.
I'm just curious why is that?

I love the first name and feel that it has flare yet my mom made a joke and said, Nicorette.... I don't know. I prefer it yet I wonder if that will cause her distress when she's older from teasing. I would really like some oppions to help me make my decision. Thank you.

My son is non confrontational and this child is aggressive pushing tripping etc. The mother is actually the leader of my son's tiger den and from what I have seen has no clue how to handle her son, which makes you wonder how exactly she became the leader. My instinct is to tell the mom to talk to her son, but I don't know if that will work. I don't want my son to be the victim of an abusive unruly child and suffer from low self esteem etc. I have told my son that it is not his fault and to tell the boy to leave him alone, but as of yet it hasn't worked.

My baby is 7 weeks old. I am breastfeeding. However, no matter how much water I drink or how often I breasfeed, sometimes I dont have enough milk to satisfy him and I have to supplement with formula. I really want him to be drinking more breastmilk then formula. Is there anything I can take, eat or drink that will increase my milk supply?

I love alliteration (repeating of the same letter (or sound) at the beginning of words) but the name does not HAVE to start with a C.

I always wanted to name my boy Tucker (my madien name, but It just is wrong with Crocker - I blame my husband for this! ha!)

Here are the ones I like:
Girls: (Middle name will probably be MY middle name Elaine)
Casey
Cordelia (it's celtic and I'm Irish)
Matilda (I love the sweet old-fashioned-ness of it. Nic - Matty)
Evelyn (I've always thought this name was beautiful)

Boys: (Middle name will prob. be Owen my dad's mid. name)
Cambell
Cyrus (a old family name, yes it IS spelled this way)
Dexter (my hubby loves this - Nickname - Dex)
Denton (name of the college town where Hubby & I met. Also cool pop culture ref. Name of town in Rocky Horror Pic Show

Please don't suggest anything over popular, trendy or weird as I as don't care for those. Also, I DO NOT like the trend of jumbled misspellings, just to be different.

I'm 12wks pregnant with my 3rd child, and am considering cloth diapers for this one. My other kids are almost 4 and almost 2, and we used disposables with them. I can see how if you choose wisely, you can save a lot of money this route and really the extra laundry is not a big deal. My concern is the flushing/rinsing of the diapers on demand with two other very active children underfoot. I see you can buy flushable liner cloths, which may be a solution. I'm also torn between using a service that provides prefolds (which of course I could buy covers for), or getting the all-in-ones and washing myself. I would really like to hear from people that have multiple children, especially close together, about their thoughts on cloth diapers and the logistics of how they make them work. The only people I have talked to personally about this have only one baby - and no offense, but cloth diapering one baby is really no big deal.
