I am 30 years old and I have been waiting for this opportunity my entire life. I finally found a store front for my dance school I can afford with an estimate from the contractor he told me that it should cost 12,000. So I put together a benefit show casted dancers and choreographers and all I have to do is direct. Everything is going so well and now I found out I am 2 months pregnant the show is supposed to go up the second week of June and I am not due until July 5th. My husband is mad that I am continuing and he keeps arguing with me and telling me I am not thinking about our family but I feel I am. Once the show is over I can take a few months off relax with the baby and then set up the school. I feel like I am so close should I just stop let this pass me by and enjoy being pregnant what do? What do I tell all those people I think with planning it is possible but he keeps arguing with me am I being too focused and not seeing reality.
What should I do {Please no hurtful answers}

First meeting, what are things you look for in a potential nanny? What are things that your nanny does that you love and hate? Any tips!

My husband and I would like to adopt an infant. More specifically, we live near a maturnity home and there are lots of pregnant mothers that live there who would like to have their child go to an adoptive family. We have contacted several agencies and the costs are outrageous (between $7,000-12,000) and if we are going to pay that much we would much rather give it to the birth mother. So theoretically here is what we would like, if possible (this is where you come in, is this possible?): We contact the maturnity home, let expecting mothers know we would love for them to interview us and see if we are what they want for the parents, offer $5,000 or so to them, pay for all legal fees, and then eventually adopting the child. Can we just go to a lawyer instead of an agency? Do we have to do classes (homestudies, etc) or is that only if we go through an agency? Would this way be quicker? I know I can probably find the answers somewhere else, but this is just preliminary. Thank you!

My grandfathers name is Donald and my grandmothers name is Corrine so my husband and I combined the names and came out with:

We would call him Cori.

Opinions please.

Our family just recently found out about and met a daughter that my father never knew that he had; up until about 9-10 months ago. During this time our father, and I have been very excited about it, and have spent a lot of time getting to know her, trading photo's etc. I've never had a bio-sister so for me it's been very exciting. The problem is the rest of the family. My step-mother who is 17 years younger than my father is upset and initially left Dad when she found out about his "new" daughter; which to me is bizarre; as my father would have conceived this child roughly 14 years prior to my father ever even meeting my (very insecure) step-mother. Further; most of the family feels that she (new sibling) is butting into our lives. She does have a strong and somewhat needy personality; I've just assumed that at some level this has something to do with having been given up for adoption, and her feelings of rejection (she has spoken to me about this so it is not an assumption)

I believe in adoption reform. I know that adoption is a necessity. I just want to make it about the child. I want the adoption industry out of our lives. I want us to be able to control our destiny. I want our choices returned to us. If an adoptee is happy and doesn't want to search, I am fine with that. I don't want a prospective adoptive parent ripped off because they want a child. If an adoptive parent chooses an open adoption, I don't want an adoption agency telling them how to do it. I want adoption to be free from coercion and lies. I want to remove the myths and lies that the adoption industry. How does all of this make me anti~adoption?

Before you had your baby what do you wish you would have known?
For example, something you wish you would have brought with you to the hospital, something you wish you would of asked for/about, something you would have tried/done differently?
I'm being induced tomorrow and just wondering about last minute stuff (am I forgetting something, is there something I need to remember to tell the nurses/ask for...?)
Any thoughts from personal experiences would be great. Thanks so much!

My son often acts ungrateful. For example tonight he stayed with his grandmother, while his aunt and I shopped with his two younger sisters, to help her do some christmas decorating. He knew she didnt have a tree yet and there were some things that had to be done by an adult. When I picked him up he said he only got to do one thing. I said "well you got to do one thing!" He started moaning and complaining. I asked him would you have rather done one thing or nothing? He said nothing at all! This happens often. How can I help him be more grateful?

I'm 18, I want to shave my head and get a tattoo but my parents said no, and I know I can already get it but I don't want to hurt them. Is there a way to convince them to let me get it, if there is no way, what's the best way to minimize them getting angry or sad when I get my tattoo and shave my head?

It's not a small tattoo by the way, it's going to be large! two of them, one going down each arm. It's going to be as big as the picture below, except it's going to be in Arabic, I'm not going to tell you what it's going to say because it's really bad =) But my parents wouldn't know what it means.

A little while ago my family had just started eating dinner. I have 4 children. My 4 month old (John) & 3 month old (Lily) use a booster seat to reach the table. For some reason Lily's booster seat was not strapping in correctly to this type of chair and I was afraid she was going to fall out. Our family usually sits in the same seats each evening. Anyway, I wanted to see if Lily's booster seat would strap into Tessa's (2 years old) chair better because her chair was a different type. I switched the chairs and it worked so I kindly asked Tessa to use Lily's chair just for tonight. (Tessa has a "special" chair that she got for Christmas last year) -- Tessa had a fit! She screamed and slapped me. I made Tessa sit on the "naughty step" until she was ready to come back and behave. She cried and cried! Then after we finished supper I allowed Tessa to come join us and finish up. I thought her behavior was unacceptable but afterwords she behaved.
Was I too hard on her?

Do you think it is okay for boys to play with dolls or girls to play with toy guns or toy trucks? does playing with gender specific toys affect a child's sexuality?

i do not believe that the toys a kid plays with affects their sexuality; mostly because kids are not thinking about sex when they are playing with toys, it's adults that try to make things gender specific.
