Pregnancy & Parenting - 15 December 2007

I personally was married before my first, but who am I to say you need to be married? My cousin has 7 children with her boyfriend, they've been together since they were 19, they're now in their 40's and going strong. They are responsible people, who both work in charity, and are excellent parents (and soon to be foster parents). And there are many other couples like this in the world. What do people think gives them the right to judge people like that as *wrong*?

My 4-month old is currently on anti-biotics since she had an operation not long ago.

The anti-biotics are in a syrup form, and need to be given to her through a syringe.

However, everytime I give it to her, she spits in straight back out! I know how important it is that she swallows every bit of it, so I've tried everything from giving it to her slowly, and have even tried rubbing her throat at the same time so that she swallows it - but nothing works!

Help! What do I do? I dont want to overdose her by giving her the medication twice, so - Im clueless!?

I was wondering...I know it's cereal first, but how long do I keep giving her cereal? or how long should I wait until I introduce something new to her?
and how many times a day should I give her solids or cereal when I first start?

I am due with my 2nd child in 5 weeks. With my first child I made the mistake of rocking and letting her fall alseep on the breast then putting her down for a sleep only to have her wake in 20 mins again.

How can I put my newborn to sleep without rocking as I don't want her to get used to it again and have the same problem.

Im a girl and Im 18 years old and a senior in HS.

I have a cell phone.
I have a tv and a laptop in my room with no restrictions. No blocks on the tv and my mom doesn't have programs that record what I do on my computer.
I don't have a "bedtime".
I don't really have a curfew, it just depends on who I am with and where I am as to how late I can be out.
I can date.
I have a 23 year old friend who works in radio, she knows him and Im allowed to hang out with him where ever and have even been over to his place twice.
She doesn't really regulate what I wear but I don't give her reason to.
I have a Myspace and a Facebook. IM and email.
I don't have a car though all though I do have friends who drive.

Would you say my mom is too lenient with me and lets me do too much?

Im content with the way things are, Im just looking for opinions, now read carefully OPINIONS, not LECTURES.

Why is watching television considered really bad and reading a book is considered the best thing of all. When kids or anyone is watching tv parents don't like it but when any child reads a book all parents and everyone thinks it is the best child. You can learn a lot of stuff by watching television. Just watch the discovery channel and their is so much to learn. You can also learn English by watching tv that's where I have learned all of my english I listen to when people talk. TV is also entertaining most people prefer watching tv then reading a book. And the last thing I would like to say is a picture is worth a 1000 words and by reading one can never picture anything that they are either learning, reading for fun or anything but with a television everything is just picture perfect and a picture is worth 1000 words. I have learned so much stuff by watching tv that I think it is good.
