Just curious on the moms who feel like single moms, because hubby is never home. I love it and hate it at the same time. Have 2 toddlers....and some days really suck. How do you deal with the bad days?

I'm 32, clock is ticking, but I think I've pretty much made my mind up not to have children. Too expensive, too much commitment, too much work, no free time, not being free to do what you want any more, etc, etc... Am I too selfish?

I'm on CD33, and it's my first month off BCPs. 2 negative pregnancy tests, but I'm wondering if it's too early? I used protection sometimes during this cycle, but not recently. Could I have ovulated really late and be in the first week or two of pregnancy? What has been your experience with the first month off BCPs?

Also, my Dr. said she could give me a blood test this week if I want it and if it's negative, she could induce my period so I can get back on birth control (this was just a month off to get my body back to normal after a rough couple of months) but I'm afraid that her blood test wouldn't recognize if I became pregnant within the last week or two - should I just wait until I have a period to do anything? I know that sometimes it takes up to 2 months for your period to come the 1st month off BC! Long time to wait, but I don't want to kill my baby by accident by inducing a period!

My husband and I are trying to have our first baby. We have moved 3000 miles away from all of our families because of hte stress and drama they cause. His parents dont want him with me and my parents have hated him since I was 13 (7years) we dont want our kids around their hosility and its is something that we have talked about and decided on. So when I get pregnant do we just not tell them at all and someday they will find out ( they always do) or do we tell them and also tell them that they arent going to be apart of our kids lives? I havent talked to my parents in over a month and neither has he. They got pissed when we left. Please no sarcastic remarks or lectures about our descion..thanx for any advice

My son, 20 months old, is considered medically fragile. I have quit working as a nurse to stay home and care for him. He is on an IV for 14 hours a day and is hospitalized occasionally for sepsis (infections) We want another child and we want him to have a sibling, but we are concerned that it might not be fair to anyone if we bring another life into our home because we're so busy with the first one. He's a lonely little boy and it breaks my heart, but I don't want to take time away from him for a new baby if he needs me. And I don't want to take time away from a new baby for him, if he needs me. It could work out fine, but there are no guarantees....

My husband's legal surname is Biehl, though his middle name is Reed, which is his mother's surname. He actually uses Reed as his surname and never goes by Biehl except legally because he feels no affiliation with that name (his father having left when he was a small child). We would like our new baby to take Reed as his surname, but since my husband has not changed his name legally and won't have time before the birth, are we allowed to do this? In effect we would be giving the child his grandmother's surname. At a later date my husband will officially change his name to Reed. I have kept my maiden name.

My daughter keeps trying to climb the side of her crib. She's not even 6 months yet. When I put her down for a nap, I just leave her be till she falls asleep. I peak in, but don't go in, to make sure nothing is wrong.
But now that she is tring to climb up the side of the crib, I'm afraid she will bang her head and get hurt, so I am constantly having to go in there to take her down. This is totally going against trying to get her to go to bed on her own.
What should I do? A crib bumper is too low, so she would still be able to hit her head. We having a safety net sort of thing in there right now, so we don't have to worry about her getting her leg or arm caught.
Any ideas?

My daugther is almost 6 months old. She started solids at 4 months. What are the genreal guidelines of when she can eat finger foods? A lot of books say 8 months, but that seems kind of old. Kylee can sit without support now, can get on hands and knees with stomach off of ground, but can't crawl in that position yet, can pull herself up to a standing on knees position, has a great interest in eaitng my food, has started using the sippy cup (not too good at it yet), can swallow her pureed food with ease, and wants nothing more than to feed herself.
She has everything she needs to use teething biscuits (according to the back of the box), so why can't she start solids till 8 months?
Are there any other guidelines?
Yes, I should talk to the doctor and will, just wondeing what everyone else has done and if it is ok for me just to give her a tiny piece of banana or something to see what she will do with it.
