to be a tease

Have a 2 & 3 year old, who've discovered the toy catalogs that come in the paper. Also my 3 year old who loves instruments, would love a banjo, tuba, triangle, etc. Im not digging the whole "wait for Christmas" or "ask for it from Santa" line as I think its kind of greedy, and dont want to get them started off this young. Any advice on how you talk about presents, gift giving, etc.

We also have talked about the meaning of Christmas, Jesus's birthday, the less fortunate, etc.

*And I LOVED circling the toys in the Fleet Farm catalog when I was a kid, but remember my brother always being so pissed off when he didnt get everything he asked for, and think thats part of this.

So I took my 3 year old to Burger King and got him a kids meal. Well, to make a story short he started screaming because I wouldn't give him the toy until after he ate and he wanted it NOW. I took EVERYTHING and threw it away and grabbed him and had to carry him out screaming. I am so angry right now. What would you have done? I don't beleive in spanking but I sure wanted to wack him one (I didn't).

I see so many people who are religious about breastfeeding, but as soon as their baby is weaned, they feed them almost entirely on sugar filled rusks, OR they insist on giving their baby only home made purees and gasp at horror at the idea of jars, but as soon as their baby is a toddler they take them to McDonalds 3 times a week.
Where do all the good intentions for feeding our babies go? Do we just get bored of it, or is it that people really don't realise the food they are giving them isn't very good for them?

Can't we just all be a bit more balanced in our approach to childhood nutrition?

Or am I just generalising and seeing the worst in people?

And am I putting the baby in danger if my showers are semi-hot? I just read something about this the other day, and I was wondering how hot is too hot?

Ok I went to buy this pill and the pharmacist told me I could drink the two pills at the same time if I don't usually suffer from nausea when I was pregnant.
But on the label it said take the second dose within 12 hours.
Does it make a difference? I took them both at the same time

My period is supposed to come any day now... I've gotten all my regular symptoms, cramping, breaking out a little bit, moody... I feel like it is going to happen any minute now. I took a pregnancy test last night and it came out positive! What happens if I got my period, like now? I wouldn't be pregnant than, right? I am only 18 years old and I am not ready for a baby.

My sister is having a boy and wants to name him Israel. We are stumped when it comes to middle names. Let me know your ideas!
Also, I am not totally sold on Israel so if you have any favorite first names for a boy throw them out there as well!

I was told early on that my placenta is on the upper left hand side of the uterus. When we had a u/s on Monday, she pointed to the blob by the babies head and said that was the placenta. Well, baby is head down now. Does that mean the placenta has moved from the top to the bottom?
I know I should have asked at the time, but didn't really think much of it till later. Just curious... Thanks!

My babies almost 6 month old. I feed (baby food) them very well before bed. I put them to sleep between 7-7:30 or sometimes 8. They wake up at 2 and then again at 5. I mean shouldn't they sleep more then 3 hours after 2. I mean what should i do, i even put cereal in their 2 am bottle, but they still wake up. I hardlyy sleep anymore, i thought they would grow. And when i do leave them at 5, they roll-over the bed and play. What should i do, it getting crazy.

Any advice

The room is 11x12"

What should a toddler boy's room look like that will "grow" with him for the next two years?

Should there be a big play table in his room or in the main family room? Should he have a little "sofa"? Or is that ridiculous. What do your kids have?

Do any of you think about how your children will affect the planet in the future? There are 7 billion people on this planet, and the numbers keep climbing. The earth can't even sustain the amount that is on it now, but people continue to have 3,4,5 and more kids. Is anyone out there not having kids, or only having 1 trying to bring down the human population?

Do you do anything to combat it? Use cloth diapers, drive a hybrid, anything to attempt to offset the fact you are bringing yet another planet destroying human onto the planet? I'm just curious if anyone thinks about it at all.

Ok so my son is 11.5yrs old and i have been thinking a lot lately about Christmas and what to get him. He is really into science and electricity but we bought him science and electricity kits last year so i don't wanna get him the same stuff this year. We thought he would really enjoy playstation last yr so we bought him that and he hasn't played with it much at all(which is a good thing) but i am really stuck cause i'm not a boy and i have no idea what 11-12 yr old boys are into these days. I know he wants one of those roboraptors but given we have a 4yr old it just isn't a good idea as it'll get broken, not to mention they cost a lot of money.
So i need some ideas on what to get my son, if you have any ideas please share cause i have no clue right now?
Would i be wrong if i wanted to get him like 2 things then give him money to go out on boxing day to pick what he wants?
Any help here would be appreciated.
Thanks

Ok, here is what happened....
Last weekend I treated my daughters head for lice.I thought I had got all the eggs out. Well she is in V-PK at a very posh daycare. (All the rich people i this town take they kids there) Well Wed. I got a call about an hour after she had been there and they told me that they had found eggs in her hair and we had to come get here. No big deal! I completely understood. Well I am an complete bedrest bercause I am pregnant, so my parents are here taking care of my two kids. So my mom goes to get here, (my mom has not been there before), they asked her when she came through the door, who she was there for, so she told them rher name and they lady told my mom that her class was out on the playground to get her form there. So my mom goes out there and as soon as she opened the door, my daughter was sitting in the dirt(there where chairs by her, but she was made to sit on the dirt). My mom looked at her and asked her what was wrong and she said that she was in

I have decided to find my bio-parents. My husband wants me to tell my mother that I am searching. I really don't want to. I don't know if I'm even going to find anything. I don't know if it's going to hurt my parents feelings. I just don't know. I would much rather keep it to myself until I know that I have found her and know that I want to make contact with her. My husband has told me that if I do not tell my mother that he is going to. At this point I pretty much want to kick him in the face. It's stressful enough just making the decision to search and I don't need this on top of everything else. How can I make him understand that I don't want my mom to know right now?
