Is it wrong for me to want to discontinue a relationship with her? She is 27 and her life is mess. There are way to many details to mention, but she makes me feel selfish for not wanting to spend every waking minute with her and help her work out all her problems. She expects that now that she knows me as a sister I should always accommodate her. Because "we are blood" But I don't feel the connection with her that I thought I would when I decided to finally meet her. I don't want to be in her life. I have tried my best. I have done so much for her in the short time that I have known her and I feel this is a one way relationship. Just because an adoptee meets their biological relative, is wrong to say "I can't handle this" and decide to cut ties?

My nine year old can not read or remember how to spell little words like as and on. She also having major problems with complicated sorting that other children younger then her can do. The school says it is because she is not on medication for her ADHD. She has a younger sister who has ADHD and is not on medication and she is doing well in school. Can ADHD cause all her problems or is there something else going on.

I just asked this question a couple of minutes ago. I think people are reading into a little too much. I just wanted to know if ALL sexual predators must stay away from children. I work at the YMCA 4 hours a week and someone suggested that we should have a listing of all the sexual predators in our county. Someone else thought it would be against their rights. Then someone else said that they have no right to be at the YMCA because there are children present. This is why I was thinking about it. Just wanted to know what the laws say if anyone knows. Thanks!

I just went to the doctor today and they told me that my strep b test was positive. They would treat with penicillin antibiotics during labor. One problem is I am allergic to Augmentin, a type of penicillin. They will redo the test to test the bacteria's sensitivity and to see what they can treat me with during labor so that it does not pass to the baby. Has anyone been positive on their Strep B test when pregnant. What type of antibiotics did they treat you with?

Seeing as a can of the 'best' formula out there is roughly $30, and knowing how much better breastmilk is than any formula, how much do you think the same amount in breastmilk would run if sold in stores?

(I mean from mothers who are perfectly healthy and pre-approved to have their milk distributed. Breastmilk is breastmilk, no matter who it's from. That's why hospitals take donations of it.)

or if your baby eats solids now, when did you start? My son is 6months, and now eats many different foods (rice cereal, fresh bananna, peach, pear, applesauce, sweet potatos, squash, peas). Im just wondering if maybe i started too early (i started rice cereal when he was 4.5 months, and fruits at 5months, im waiting to do meats until his 6mo apt)...but he is doing just fine, no bad reactions, i wait 3days before introducing a new food.

do you feel the time out generation is a softer more spoiled child, compaired to a good swat on the butt generation?

do you feel that parents try to be too cool with their kids instead of knowing the right balance of friend and parent?

does it seem to you that more kids run the family then the parents do now adays?

how will or do you raise your kid?

My husband can be really great, but when it comes to me leaving him with our little man alone, he is the worst. I am getting really sick of this because the moment I turn around even for just 2 seconds, let's say to go to the washroom, have a shower, then I hear the baby screaming in the other room, he banged his head onto something because hubby was too busy doing something on his computer or doing something else. Everytime I need to do something and I leave him with our son alone, when I return, the baby's got cuts and bruises and sometimes we end up in the ER. I talk to him about this and he just has a careless attitude, this is really frustrating for me and I don't know what to do about it. I gotta do other things sometimes where I can't carry baby with me. Also, the baby is both of our responsibilities, but it seems to end up being mine alone. I care for this child 24 hours a day. I know hubby loves the both of us but he gets way too distracted like a kid and lazy to care for baby

What is the one thing, besides the obvious car seat, diapers....etc. that every new baby or mother needs? Is there something you weren't sure you would use much in the beginning but now wouldn't have done without it?

How do you feel about the name Blaise for a boy? I'm mainly interested in Biblical or Catholic Saints names, and Blaise happens to be a Saint's name. ...I think it's unique and cute, yet "strong".

Were the babies the same or different sex??

I had a normal pregnancy (mild symptoms) with my son. My pregnancy now is totally different!!! I have never been so sick, and the symptoms I do have in common with the last pregnancy are the exact opposite. I won't know if it's a boy or girl for another month....so I'm curious-

Must all sexual predators remain away from children or is it just those that have minor victims?

My husband and I have been TTC our first child for 27 months now. I got a bladder infection and could not have intercourse for a week (of course I assumed it was ovulation week), so I told myself, I couldn't be pregnant. Well, I looked at a charting website and found out that (if the chart is right) I had sex the day before ovulation! That gave me a little bit of hope.

I usually spot for a few days before I start my AF (which is due in 5 days or so). So far this time, no spotting and no sign of AF. I'm trying not to get excited. I'm planning on taking a test in about 7 days. I've been having some mild symptoms, but I attributed them to the bladder infection. Could this be my month?!?!

Toddler has vomiting, fever and when she sleeps she wakes up every 10 minutes crying that her stomach hurts. I have an appointment this afternoon with her pediatrician. Not sure what is wrong. I feel so bad for her she she can't keep anything down. I have tried the 1 tsp of liquid every 15 minutes but she just pukes it up. NO diarrhea thank goodness.

My son is 3 yrs and is showing signs (according to teachers) of autism. I have a 1 yr baby girl as well and he can't stand her. I live in a city with NO family so it's hard to get good advice. Im going a little nutty. Im not sure what to do. I can't put him in anything because all he does is cry...I want to shoot myself sometimes. I need some real good advice.
