Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 November 2007

I teach second grade and I don't understand Jane*. I know young children need attention. All the other children typically do positive things to get mine (ie: they'll clean the sink, pick a piece of trash off the floor, draw me a picture, tell me about their new dog, etc).

Anyhow, this student always engages in disruptive/disrespectful behavior to get my attention (ie:sarcasm, rocking in her chair, or she'll become extremely clingy. Like oneday, she kept following me around the classroom.

Everytime I turned around I would step on her b/c she was following so close behind me. I gave her a hug, then said to sit down, but she kept getting back up following me and pulling on my arms.

BTW: I've attempted to arrange a conference w/her Mom five times. Mom NEVER shows up.

Not settled on these quite yet, just trying to kick up some ideas. I have a hard time considering a first name if I don't pair it with a middle name and our last name.

Ava ______ Styner

Addison ______ Styner

i dont eat horribly, but since i have found out i am pregnant, i havent been eating as many vegetables as i think i should be. lately, all i have been eating is JUNK! i am going to try to eat a lot healthier for the sake of my baby and would never do anything to compromise his/her health because i have tried so long to be pregnant.
but i was just tonight and wondering if malutrition can cause a miscarriage?
(don't worry about me, i take a multivitamin and a seperate folic acid pill each day!)

I named my daughter Scarlet Rose.

Most people either love it or hate it - What do you think?

At times she refuses to talk, and other times she meows or makes other animal noises. I think she is nervous... any ideas?

My wife and I have a 27 month old son....he's a very happy and loving child. Until a few months when our son would experience any discomfort like bumping his head, falling down etc. he would always immediately come to me or his mom for comfort. Lately when this happens we'll try to comfort him but he refuses our efforts and walks away from us trying to shrug it off....is this normal? Just seems really odd to me.

my 5 year old step-daughter is in kindergarten and has problems with the way she speaks. My husband and i correct her as much as possible but she doesnt take it serious. For example she says things like " Her gave me a book", (instead of "she gave me a book") and " Can were go" (instead of "can we go") and lastly "what are there doing" (instead of "what are they doing"). The childs mother is no help at all, she makes excuses for the child and is not willing to help. Recently my husband and i went to the childs school to ask for the teachers help in which they are more than willing. they also informed us that they too are having problems with the mother helping the child. We feel useless in helping this child because when she goes back with her mother and all of our effort went out the window. The mothers excuse is "she's just a baby" and she says we "pick" on the child by pushing her to learn. any opinions welcome.

It was so sad! After school a lot of kids followed the 2 girls getting into a fight. It was a REALLY skinny girl vs a really chubby girl. It wasn't a fair fight. The big girl through the first swing and got her on the ground and started to ground and pound.

The skinny girl is my friend. I felt soooooo bad, it was so sad! It gives me the chill now just thinking about it!

Sad part is, I recorded it ALL. Should I tell the office about it? I just feel a whole bunch of guilt for recording it..

I have the footage though. Is that going to get me in trouble?

I took a HpT it said positive, I mean the line was very faint. I was told a positive is a positive. The today I started getting cramps like I was going to get my period and then Ta-da!! I got my period.
(TMI sorry)
It was only brown discharge now its red. I believe im still bleeding. And Im cramping so I think its a period.
Is that even possible.
I Thought I was pregnant. the test said positive.
Im so confused now. And I dont want to get checked by the doctor until the periods over... Maybe its just implantation bleedeing?? I dont know.
