Hi there,
We're having a big family Christmas, and it's my little cousin's birthday Christmas Eve.
I want to make sure her day is special, so does any one have any ideas for a special gift, or just general things that are 'in style' right now for 14yr girl? [13 turning 14].
She's girly, but very sporty. Has a lot of brothers, so kind of craves 'girl time'.

We're planning a 'girls day out' on her birthday to go shopping and out for 'tea' [with gma, aunt, cousin, mom, etc]. We won't be anywhere near her hometown to invite her friends.
I know she's excited... but do you have any additional ideas/tips for me?

Thanks in advance!

My daughter has been potty training for a little over a month now. She has been wearing regular panties during this time. I have to ask her every 15-20 minutes does she have to go potty. Otherwise she will just take her panties down (wherever she is) and pee there. Afterwards she'll bring me her panties and say "whoops sorry", every single time. Should I continue to tell her "its okay but next time you have to go in the potty"?She is a very smart little girl that's why its really frustrating that she can't or won't get this. She can count to 10, say her alphabet, recite 10 animals with their sounds, she can recite an entire movie (Tarzan II) and act it out without looking at the screen, so why can't she learn to pea in the potty. Ugh!!! Me and my husband is frustrated to the max and we are very tired of scrubbing our carpet everyday all day. Any ideas would be very helpful.

Here's what we've tried, all to no avail:

Vinegar
The bad tasting stuff you paint on the thumb and nail
Constant reminders to take his thumb out
Gradually weaning, like saying he can only suck his thumb at home, but everywhere else isn't allowed.

I'm going crazy, NOTHING is working! Help please!!

that you love to death but she is constantly making you mad? You can't tell her any secrets becuase she is such a blabber~mouth and she gets mad when you tell someone a secret (no matter if u tell her what the secret is)

What should i do because i'm about to go insane. Should i just deal with it or should i find a new friend.

Anything original? Even if it's not in Spanish or one of the romance languages.. Anything!! We're looking for original... But not so original that he'll get picked on at school ;-)

Me and my hubby and been together for 4 years. We have a 3 year old together, and we both want another child. There's a couple of things stopping me from proceeding though.
#1- I just lost 40 lbs, and I don't want to get fat again (I know- it sounds stupid) I will continue to work out though.
#2-With my first, I cracked my tail bone during labor and couldn't walk for 1 month afterwards
#3- I hemorrhaged after expelling the placenta and they had a problem stopping the bleeding, causing me to faint
#4- I have insurance, but it doesn't cover pregnancy, but we can afford to pay for the birth and baby stuff, plus I have all the baby clothes and toys from my first.

What do you guys think? Are these reasons enough to not have another? Be nice with your answers, no rude answers please! Thanks!!!

I have been on birth control for like 5 months now, recently my boyfriend and I had unprotected sex when he came in me, and then again about 12 hours later...is it possible to still become pregnant?

Okay, I don't want a lot of nasty comments.

My twin brother, Malachi, got into a car wreck with a drunk driver, and he died 3 years ago. I am pregnant with twin girls and was wondering if it would be a completely horrid idea to use Malachi for a middle name in my brother's honor. The deal is I get to name one and my husband names the other.

I chose Liliana for a first name because my mother's name is Lilian. I would love to use Malachi for my brother because we were always so close. Anyways Liliana Malachi wouldn't be too over the top considering he chose Samara Evangeline.

Would it be okay to use it as a middle name even though it is traditionally a boy's name?

I know my fears are inappropriate and well I am a long way from this because my daughter is to young to even know what girl scouts is much less ask to be in it. With that said I don't want my daughter going off to camp especially really young. As a teen or pre teen maybe. I am afraid of child molesters and what not in the groups. I know the chances are low but there is still a chance. I want to know if and when the time comes can she join but not go on the weekend trips. Also are dads aloud to go or just moms

Some-thing clever to make him think and leave you alone - preferably without swearing!

My 10 year old brother is being bullied and I don't know what to tell him of which he can say to get the bullies to leave him alone.

Thankyou for any suggestions - they will be very much appreciated!

I really wanted to use my parents names Mary and Alan as middle names for my baby. I still do not know if I am having a boy or girl, but the names I have come up with are:

Kaiya Mary Daveigh (Kaiya means forgiveness my parents arent thrilled im pregnant... and Ive always loved the name Daveigh, I think Davey would be a cute nickname)

and Im stuck between Dominick Alan or Donovan Alan.

Not that race matters but the baby will be mixed (black and white) I always think mixed children have such a unique look and I think that deserves unique names.

I'm 24, and I'm married to an older man of 30. I'm pregnant and my husband and I have decided not to know the sex of the child until he/she is born.
If it's a boy, we would really like to name him Jacoby. I really love this name, and so does he. The only problem is, most of my friends are huge Boston Red Sox fans and single. They're all also madly in love with the rookie star outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury.
As much as I admire Ellsbury, I am NOT naming my baby after him. My husband has really liked that name even before Jacoby started playing with the red sox.
I don't want people to think that I'm naming my baby after a rookie outfielder, so what do you think about the name Jacoby?

I know that a lot of pro-life advocates would say that all abortion is wrong, under all circumstances and there is no such thing as "therapeutic abortion". I have a question though - why do all abortions get lumped into the same category? I work in health care, and every so often run into someone who had to have an abortion because either the life of the mother, or child, or both, was in danger. I know a lot of people might say the woman should not have become pregnant, but sometimes they find out about a major health problem after becoming pregnant. Why are women in this category with women who did it for personal reasons? Would you still consider someone on chemo or radiation or who might not live the full nine months it takes for a baby to be born to have had a "choice"?

My friend and her husband are stuck again on names. He grew to love the choices Gabriella Miracle & Jasmine Makayla that someone on her recommended.

She started to love those names too until her sister named her daughter Gabriella Kyree 4 days ago.

Now they are looking for new names starting all over again.

UPDATE: She is 32 weeks pregnant with twin girls. She is having complications with her pregnancy. They said she has gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension also known as preeclampsia. Her doctors are trying to control it with medications or until she is far enough along to deliver safely.

I like both of these names but they both sound more suitable for older children or adults... How could I "baby-fy" the names? (like Tobias to "Toby" or "Corbin" to "Corby"...) Actually, other ways that the name could be expanded even for an adult are welcome. Feel free to be creative. Any serious response is appreciated! Thank you!

My ex husband was recently arrested in wichita falls texas with 107 punds of narcotics and cindy piper of the wichita falls child protective services gave his felon mother(a woman busted with 900 pounds of narcotics and who just recently got released from prison after ratting out the mafia!!!!) my kids. He has the police and CPS in his pocket and even though the FBI knows he and his mother are felons they will not help get my kids back. I am a baptized member of a great church and the only reason I lost my kids was due to his drug money and a setup accident he and his cronies staged while I was helping reroof the home of a single mother of three kids there while my ex husband was supposed to be watching them. (He got busted with 30,000 in cash a short while ago). How do I compete with that, I develop pictures and had to flee to another state to escape his abuse. My kids are in danger at his mother Rosario De La Cruz's home in Wichita Falls Texas. No one will help me........Can you?
