Pregnancy & Parenting - 28 November 2007

I am 31 weeks preg with a baby girl.... been having a hard time picking a name that me and my hunny both like. Recently we agreed on Amaya. Then, just the other day we read in the news about a little girl who was hit accidently and killed by her grandmothers truck. (very sad of course) She had the same name, just spelled Aamiyah. I actually like that spelling better, and would use it, but Im wondering if thats too creepy, or if I should choose a new name all togehter?

My 2 year old has been biting for several months now and it seems like we have tried everything to stop it. Part of the problem is she does'nt bite at home so I really can't correct it here. I have went to the daycare to try to talk to her after it happens and I seem to get nowhere with her. I am clueless at this point as to what to do. She was recently kicked out of the daycare she has been at since she was 6 weeks old and has only been at the new daycare for a few weeks and has been biting several times daily there also. I don't know what do do anymore!!! Any sugestions???

I am divorced and I have a 5 and 7 year old. I found out the children's mother doesn't put my 5 year old son in his car seat anymore. The kids told me he weighs 60 pounds and doesn't need one. I know this is not true, he is just under 50lbs. What can I do. I told her she needs to put him in and she just brushed me off. Any ideas?

I'm in university and in a relationship that's getting serious and lately I've been crying a lot.. Do you think that it's possible that it's in my system to be depressed if I don't have a baby by this age? (I'm 20.)
This obviously doesn't mean I'm going to have a baby lol.. just interested in your thoughts .

Please also include why.

There's definitely a hormonal component. It's not like I choose to cry. It's very different than it was before puberty.

Thanks for answering!

I've been leafing through some of the Q&A in Pregnancy, and when it comes to some of the "what do I do" questions, a lot of people are getting the thumbs down sign for suggesting adoption! WTF, why are people poo-pooing adoption when someone doens't want to keep a baby?

I have a secure job, I'm going to drop out no matter what and get my ged or just uit going so save the whole youre going to be a bum thing and the biggest mistake of your life speech ive heard it before. I want my parents to unenroll me so I can go to adult school and take the ged test but my mom says she might not and i told her then im just gonna fail out then when im 18 drop out neways so it would be better this way i havent really tried in school for almost 4 years and i failed this year. So i really dont see the point of her keeping me in school where all i do is sleep and read my book and talk to my friends when i can do the same thing at my house and work more hours and i even said i would pay rent. So my question is why would she keep me in school when im not working and all i do is get myself into trouble?

I want to be comforting and not 'sorry' about the situation if he in fact has autism. Any ideas on how I can be understanding and not sound like I'm pitying her or him?

anytime anybody hears that i am not going to breastfeed my baby they always bag me out saying that i dont deserve it as it HAS to be breast fed.
i fed my other son but the experience was so painful and traumatic i couldnt cope
and i would rather give him a bottle then try and rush his feeds, am i doing the wrong thing by my next baby by not even trying.

i will try for the first few days just for the colostrum but i dont really think i could cope longer than that

My dad is constantly bossing my kids around. I am on vacation in his house for the next 4 weeks and he jumps in every time I try to discipline the kids and he snaps at them for no reason.

I tried defending them last time because he wanted to punish them for going outside even though I had told them they could. He got mad at me because I disrespected him in front of the kids and he felt I was unfair to him.

I can't just up and leave. I need to resolve this. Any ideas?

My children are 12, 10, and 7. I am married, my husband is away at work during this time so he can't help. When he is here my parents don't act like this.

Nestlé's marketing department caught up with me, and a coupon for a free can of Good Start landed in my mailbox today.

Does anybody use it as something with which to nourish orphaned raccoons or something? What can I do with it?

I fail to see how or why women could possibly believe that their falling pregnant some how should be paid for by the employer ! They disrupt the workplace by their planned pregnancies and after scheming their way towards lower and even middle management positions, than expect the workplace to pay for their time at home with the baby, watching "days of our lifes" or Oprah ! When will women learn, parenthood is a priviledge and NOT to be paid for by the workplace ! Which they disrupt enough btw...

You see, my husband is a Marine & well lets just say he has a pretty bad vocabulary.

I tried ignoring it. I tried telling him no. I tried putting him in the corner. I've tried just about everything. He will be 2 next month.

He is not the typical toddler either. He says just about everything, just not what I ask him to say.

my children are nearly 3 (a boy) and 5 1/2 (a girl) and we don't know when to tell them and how to tell them I am pregnant.
I had a scan on monday which puts me at 7wks 4days today (or 8wks today by LMP) so when do you think is the right time and how would you do it???

BTW, both our families don't know yet either, only mine and my husband's best friends know so far.

This is hypothetical and I do not want to have an abortion debate. Because it probably makes a difference, let's say it's 10 to 12 weeks along. I saw a movie where the girl who had an abortion asked whether the fetus was a boy or a girl and she was told. I was wondering if this actually could happen.

What should you do when a girl who you don't remember calls you and tells you that she needs to talk to you about something that you don't remember happening because you were wasted at the time?

(yes, I know I ****** up)
