My husband's ex wife has consistently refused to ever meet or talk to me - she won't even be in the same room as me, and will tell her very young daughter that she's "trying to forgive" me. For what, I'm not sure, as my husband was separated from her prior to us meeting; I've been with my husband for 3 years now; and she's been remarried for over a year. I have a few things - first of all, she and her husband take my step-daughter to church 2-3 times a week. I have no problem with church - it's just that my stepdaughter doesn't like it and will ask me things like if she can come to our house every weekend so she doesn't have to go. I've told her to talk to her mommy, but she says she doesn't want to. Not sure if we should tell her mom this or not...I don't think it would make a difference, honestly. Secondly, she's having a lot of behavioral issues that I think might be helped if we sat down to talk about them; but there's the fact that mom refuses to see me...any suggestions?

The other day I saw a boy of about 6 walk up to his mom, open her shirt, undo her bra and just pull out her breast. Then he started sucking it. Is it weird for someone that old to still be doing that?

My ex boyfriend basically forced me into terminating a pregnancy (his child) when I did not want to. He made it clear that he would not have anything to do with the child as he already has 1 child from previous marriage. I of course wanted the baby as I did not agree on abortion. But I also have 1 child from a previous relationship that I do not recieve child support as father is in another country, so therefore cannot afford to raise 2 kids on my own. This was extremely hard for me to do as I love kids and work with them. My Ex is now harrasing me asking me for money back for which he gave me at this time for assistance and is threatening to sue me for it ($1200). Can I sue him for harrasment and pain and suffering as I feel I need some sort of counseling after having the abortion? Or am I just being silly and stand no chance at all? All answers will be greatly appreciated. Thank You

We have recently started having problems with our babysitter. She charges us $24 per day per child. We have two children in her care, as both mom and I work. Last week, both of our kids were sick, and only stayed in her care 1 day each.

She told us when I paid her that we were obligated to pay for the entire week, even though the kids did not go. I refused to pay her that amount, because there was never a contract signed, and it was the first I've ever heard about it. I paid her the full amount for this week, because now that I know her policy, I will adhere to it.

Today, she called my wife at 10AM and informed her that she (the babysitter) is sick and that my wife will need to come and pick up the kids.

Should we have a credit for this half day that she did not babysit?

Additionally, she has said that we are to pay her during any holiday that SHE takes a vacation, in order to ensure our kids spot with her. Is that right?

My baby is going to be one on Sunday and pretty soon we are going to make the transition from formula to cow's milk. My mom said to start with 2 % and not whole milk because it is just fat. But I believe you are supposed to start with whole milk first. Can anyone help me out is it whole milk or 2 % first?

How will my body try to get rid of the baby? Will it try? Or does it stay there? I'm scared b/c I felt a very sharp pain, along with a poppin noise inside my abdomen, and my stomach doesn't feel as hard now, and I don't feel bloated anymore. I haven't really felt any twitches, and I just don't feel pregnant anymore. Can someone help me figure this out?? If my baby wasn't living....would I know? Please no mean answers..just seeking truth. Thank you.

I have 2 small children ages 2 years and 4 months. I have gained a lot of weight in the last two years and need some exercise tips to lose that baby bulge. I need something that will fit with my busy schedule. I work full-time so there's not much time left to work out unless it is before the kids wake up in the morning or after they go to bed at night.

I have a 14 year old son from a previous marraige. His biological father left when he was 6 months old and my current husband is "Dad". I was pretty young when I had him (barely 20). I feel ready to have another but I'm afraid I've waited too long. (I'm still only in my mid 30's and I have a major case of baby fever!) I'm healthy enough (already talked with the doctor).

Im tired of seeing the news where it tells of people abusing their kids, or abandoning them. It just makes me sick and makes me not want to watch it anymore. Before I had kids, I'd think, "Oh, thats so sad." Now, I look my two and think..."Why? They are so beautiful. Who would want to hurt them. They shouldnt even have them if they are going to be cruel." Some people arent lucky enough to carry and here these people are, throwing the innocent children out on the street. I wish we had the power to put a stop to it. But I know we cant. Just like drug use, and I know that alot of the abandonment has to do with drugs as well. It is a sad sad world we live in. I know you probably hear this all the time and know what I'm talking about but Im writing a piece on it and need some ideas. I myself never imagined myself as a mother but now that I am I can't imagine myself not being one. Got any ideas for me? Anything will be appreciated thank you.

I'm sorry I know there are a lot of questions already pertaining to the"I'm pregnant, help!" subject.

I took a pregnancy test yest. and it came out positive. I can't be more than about 3 weeks along. My boyfriend and I live together and as soon as I let him know he comforted me and let me know he is VERY supportive of us. My problem is that I, myself, am completely and utterly scared. I don't know what to do first. Do I make a doc appointment this early on or should I wait another week or so? I come from a eastern european family and I am dreading telling my grandparents. My mom had me young so I'm hoping she will be welcoming of this news. I feel like my life just started piecing itself back together and now I have done something to set myself back again. I know this is a blessing, but I am just trying to get through the initial shock. I still feel like a child myself, at times. Does anyone who became an unplanned young mother have any advice or suggestions? Thank you:)

When a baby is stillborn are both a birth and death certificate issued?

What if you've had to birth a miscarriage? Is anything given at that point?

My cycle is one day late. I'm concerned by this because this is something that never occurs. I'm cramping just like I cramp when it's on. But that's it, I have know preg. symptoms or anything. I'm starting to get a little scared, one the baby's father and I are not together and I'm just kind of nervous. I don't have children so this would be my first any advice? Should I be worried, if this is not a normal thing for me.

If so, what happened? Did you get your period a few days later...or breakthrough bleeding & also did you have a normal pregnancy? My doc told me that it was fine to start trying as soon as you finish the pack of pills but he told me that when I was on regular pills, the problem is now I'm on that pill that lets you have a period every 3 months, so that means I won't finish this pack until March & we don't want to wait that long to start to conceive! Any suggestions??

I've lost all the pregnancy weight, but don't feel as positive as I used to about my body! Has anyone had the same feelings and how did you get yourself to feel better?
