So my husband and I know what were naming a boy if we have one, but for a girl we are undecided. So the 2 names that are our favorites are
Charley LuAnn or
Parker Marie

Yes, I know all of these are "different", I just want to know which one you like best. If you don't like any of them, just put the one you dislike the least. Remember: BE POLITE PLEASE! Thanks in advance.

It was our grandfather's name. I think it sounds really neirdy. My husband thinks it sounds "fruity". My sister's son hates it and my other sister also thinks it is a bad name choice. I haven't said anything to her as I don't think it is my place, but I feel bad that my nephew will probably get teased for this name. What do you think of this name?

My kids dad and his family want to visit my children. i dont want them to for reasons that i feel my daughters safety will be involved. we are in the middle of a custody case and i dont know how to say no and it seem like i am trying to keep him a way from his kids. i dont really mind if he comes by himself but i dont want his mom and brothers coming because i believe that one of his brothers molested one of my daughters. they are 3 yr old twins. how should i tell them all no so that i dont have to take the chance of him taking my daughters from me and i am just trying to keep them safe.

Our friend has 2 children: boy and girl. He spends tons of time and energy on the boy, while often leaving the girl out. She is very shy and withdrawn, also behaves far younger (in our opinion) than do most girls her age. We have caught her 5 times now pinching or kicking both her animals and ours. We tell her father, he seems frustrated, but does nothing. He generally does nothing to correct either of his children when they do something wrong. He will yell when at his boiling point, but otherwise, will let them go wild until very angry.
We are around them frequently and we have a hard time not saying anything. The children are our godchildren and we have always been told to 'help him out' with their discipline....but we couldn't discipline them as much as we'd like for fear of ticking him off.
The girl is my main concern, as her behavior, verbal and listening communications are terrible. She is a good child, but I fear for her future. Any NICE suggestions as to how to tell her dad

My husband and I were practicing nudists. We've been married a few years now and were both happy. I've got a daughter (her father is dead) who just turned 14 and lives with us. Well, one day I came home and he was rubbing baby oil on her by the pool. That in itself isn't what bothered me, as we oil each other anyway. The thing that was disturbing was that he had an erection. I asked him about it later and he said that it was purely accidental and he didn't realize it was happening. I let is go at that for the time being. Two days ago, I come home early again and he's on the computer. When he left the computer, I sat down and checked the history and he'd been to incest sites.

I've kicked him out of the house but I'm worried and concerned. My daughter says nothing sexual has happened. She's still a virgin (I hope) so my hopes are high that she'll be alright. Should I seek counseling for her (us)? I've left my husband for good, I think.

I was diagnosed with placenta previa, which basically I'm at risk of loosing my baby. There's a possabiity that I might get a C-section because I won't be able to have my baby normal. My mother for the past 3 years, goes to Mexico for 3 months and comes back. She has been taking care of my daughter ever since she was 2 months old and currently is 2 years old. My daughter loves my mom and cosiders her like her second mom. So my mom has suggested that I should let my daughter go with her. I don't know what to do because it seems too long. She says that way if I do have a C-section I can recuperate faster, plus my husband only has 1 wk of vacation to help me and after that I'm on my own... so she says with both kids it will be tough and especially if I get the C-section. I don't know what to do....! I afraid that something might happen to her over there.... I would like her to be with me when the new baby comes, but then it will be tough on me with two kids. Some people say I shouldn't ..

Here's my dilemma. Since becoming pregnant, I've gone up a cup and band size. At this point I'm willing to bet I've actually gone up 2 band sizes (given how uncomfortable wearing a bra is). I've read conflicting things- that you should bring a couple of nursing bras with you to the hospital and that your size will go up a cup and down a band once you've had the baby. So how the heck am I supposed to know what size to get now? I'm 38 weeks pregnant and will definitely breast feed. I don't want to waste money on bras that won't really fit when the baby comes, but I don't want to be unprepared either. I would assume I won't be too up to bra shopping during that first week or so after giving birth. What did you do? What worked, what didn't?

and she seems to love the whole idea of it. I went strait for using the spoon and there doesn't seem to be any problems so far besides her tongue reflexes, but that's normal. My question is when should I begin to replace more than one bottle feedings and when should I get rid of the formula feedings all together? This is my first child so I'm new at this. Please give me as much advice as possible concerning this subject.

According to my LMP, I should be 6wks and 5days, and know I ovulated on the 26-28th of November... So, I went in for an u/s because of 4 prior miscarriages, and only saw a gestational sac that measured 5 1/2weeks. It was 11cm, i think and the tech said it looked good a round but I was just a bit early? I did not think I could be this early since I know when I ovulated and got a positive hpt on 11dpo, or what I thought was 11dpo... So, anyone have any thoughts? I go back in a week and hopefully will see a hb....

My 12 year old son thinks its wrong for me to take away his things he bought with Christmas money when he acts impoperly.Today he was acting very inappropriatly throwing attitude toward me and his siblings. I took his playstation 2 away from him temporarily that he bought with Christmas money. He feels that since he bought it that it cant be taken. He thinks its fine to take an actual gift from Christmas. I feel that taking something bought with Christmas money is the same as taking a gift.

I just wanted to hear some experiences from other mothers:
(1) Did your child get breast milk, formula, or a combination?
(2) When did your child start solids?
(3) What did you start with first (cereal, veggies, fruits)? If cereal, what did you mix it with (water, breast milk, formula)?
(4) What was the next food you tried?
(5) How many feedings did you start out with per day?
(6) What were your reasons for starting when you did, and starting with the certain food(s) you did?

Thank you for any input :)
