Okay heres my story..

The girls in my family 16, 17, 18 are all having babies, none finished high school, no jobs, no fathers, they are having these children and then living off of wellfair, they dont even take care of them, they are handing them off to the grandparents.

But they want to have these huge baby showers.

I know its not the babie's fault but I havent been going to any, b/c I dont think its anything to celebrate. But Im getting the gilt trip from my Mom.

So what do you think? Am I wrong for not going?

She needs to get more vit c each day, so I was thinking since she has apple juice now diluted why not orange juice?

Does anyone have any suggestions for other sources of vit c or if this is not a good idea? Thanks in advance! :D

last week i went out with my son( who is 2yrs and 2months) to the bank. It was busy so i decided to go to the teller machine instead.Between making that 10 seconds decision my son had ran off to the next machine(which was 100cm).... next thing i knew a grunt ..."GO AWAY" ...."YOU GO AWAY!!!" from a woman at next auto teller machine,so i assumed my son may have interrupt her so i called out for him. BUt my son didnt come and so the cried "GO AWAY ....."grew to a scream continues. then at this point i turned and saw the woman slapping my son's hand with a piece of paper..not once but several times,i immediately turn to asked her why she did that,she said he was playing with the buttons while she was trying to make her transaction.then i told her, he's only2yrs and questioned her intelligence for yelling and hitting a 2yrs old. then she yelled that she had a very important transaction to made,(without even looking at me,she yelled and continues hitting the keypad on the machine!!!!)then

Wow! feels like I haven't been on here in forever! We just found out we are expecting!! I am so happy. (We just had a m/c in May) It is too soon to know the sex of the baby. We have a few favorite names. I love Rory Madison. I also love Jenson (girl) He like Mercedes. We like Tripp Jordan or tripp Jared and Cash Jonathan. What do you think? Do you have any favorite suggestions?

P.S. We like unsual but not crazy. We have a little guy 22 months old names Brody William. It has to sound good with his name, of course. Thanks you all!

My son is 3.5 years old- he will be 4 in February. He shows many signs of autism but the doctors and myself are not ready to fully diagnosis that yet( (thankfully). The short version of his story is that he has always done things on his own time frame. He did not walk until he was 15 months. In April, he got his tonsils and adenoids removed and tubes put in his ears to help with his balance. He drooled forever before the surgery and his talk want not understandable. His drooling slowed down after the surgery and his speech has improved. I have him in speech therapy, he goes to see the developmental pediatrician and he will be starting preschool soon. His speech therapist had noted maybe with some problems with his motor skills and I am wondering if anyone knows what an Occupational Therapist does/what I can expect. I am just not sure what they will ask or what they will tell me and I am anxious....any help would be appreciated.

my son is seven and an extremely hard sleeper. we have done everything except drugs which quit working six months after children quit taking them. we don't let him drink before bedtime, we wake him up before we go to bed, we have used a malem alarm, homeopathic meds, EVERYTHING. he is a very confident child, but i worry that if he doesn't stop wearing a diaper at night he won't be for long. does anyone have a similar situation or have any advice? please no haters....this is a sensitive subject for my family. we adore my son and will do anything to help him. thanks!

My son is 3 years old. We found a strange hard lump on his arm a week ago. We've been to the doctor and they are doing tests right now but don't know for sure what it is. I've noticed he's very angry and hateful now and he wasn't before. He even says I will kill you. Do you think this could have something to do with the lump?

My daugter is 14 months old and has the greatest personality, always happy and always smiling. My friends have been telling me for a long time that I should put her "out there", and I frequently even get stopped in the mall or supermarket by people who say she should be a model. I did some minor research and ended up emailing two pictures to "Kids Talent Network". The next day I got an email back saying they were really interested and wanted to "talk". Does anyone know anything about this company? Any advice? I think it would be fun but I want to keep it low key (i.e. Macy's or JC Penney's catalog) and I have no intentions whatsoever to exploit my child or make money off of her. Help please!
