Im 18 years old and i watch a 1yr old and a 2yr old. their parents dont send me food. I feed them what i have in the house. I watch the kids monday-friday 900-400. The kids dont like to listen either. What do i charge them, they have been giving me 50 dollars a week but lately with buying food and juice till i get that bought i get left with 10 dollars. They got charged 50 dollars a day for day care. I dont think im being unreasonable to ask for a little more am i?

Does life ever get any easier :( A question I answered earlier on her was if u could bring back anyone from the past who would it be, and i just forgot, which is good because it means Im moving past it. Then I listen to the radio and someones happy life with a baby in it crushes my world to pieces again. I sit here and ponder...I think Im over reacting because its been so long. There are reasons why it didn't happen and its so much more clearer to me than ever, given my situation right now. So I just wish that I could have them both back but that will never happen. I guess they say in time all things get better.

I have been with a beautiful woman for the past 2 and a half years. We've had our share of relationship problems,and even though we've made some bad decisions at times,we've always managed to get past them with understanding. Recently we've found out she is pregnant,and although there might be a slim chance that this miracle is not mine we've decided to reconcile, and work together to make us a good life together with this child,mine or not Period. We love each other plain,and simple.She has lost one some time ago in an old relationship from stress,and due to crone's disease,she has a high risk of not having kids the older she gets.Most of our family,and friends are happy for us,but her sister in-law,being a highly negative person,has been very outspoken in her opinion of the situation of our coming child to the point that she went home upset,and crying,and had entertained the idea of aborting.We talked.All is ok.What can we do to stop this kind of stress in her life? We need answers.

My boyfriend, a friend and I were having a debate about whether or not it's better to circumcise a baby boy or not. What do you all think? Which is better, both as a child and as an adult?

I had a child 3 months ago (father and I not together...nor will we be) and I do not have the money or means to give my baby a good home. He is such a sweet little baby and I want him to have a good life. I have heard that open adoption will allow me to be a part of his life and at the same time he would have a family that would be able to provide for him and give him all the advantages that I never had. Please help! This is not at all easy for me but I realize that I must stop thinking about what I want and start thinking about my child's future.

I’m 18 years old and got pregnant when I was 17 by my ex boyfriend. Now I know it was a mistake so I’m not looking for answers like that but I am looking for some good advice. THANKS! We were going through a really bad break up when I found out I was pregnant and I told him that I was pregnant. There was a point when his family was being very nasty towards me and I couldn’t handle it and I thought I was going through a miscarriage.. So I told him I had one and left him. Later on that week I found out everything was okay with my pregnancy. WELL I’m due next month and I still haven’t told him that everything is really okay. I’m finishing high school and going to school being a nurse ( already got excepted to a community college around where I live) I have amazing friends and very hard working parents that are standing behind me. My ex’s is living in apartment with 2 of his buddies and is a so called player.. He drinks every night didn’t finish high school , smokes like no other, traded in his new 03 Honda… for some 1999 low rider truck.. His family is VERY WHITE TRASH and dramatic .. He once told me that he didn’t want any of his kids to have a better education than him, and his family is the type of family too ( once my kid is old enough) talk about my family to her. I really really don’t want this kind of life style for my kid.. Should I tell him? THANKS! No rude answers please

Hi. I'm pregnant with my second son, he's due in April! My 2 year old son's full name is Preston Elliot Salvati. My name's Kelli & my husband is Elliot.. So if you could vote between these 3 that'd help us a lot

1) Celab Tillman Salvati
2) James Tillman Salvati
3) Callan Tillman Salvati

growing up my husband was a friend of Pat Tillman (the football player turned soldier) so our boy's middle name is after him. Thanks for your votes

Right now I currently live in California and about 6 weeks pregnant, im moving to either Arizona or Oregon on the 28th of this month (my fiance hasnt decided which would be a better place to live) Im signing up for medi-cal but since im moving wouldnt it just be better to wait and get whatever the state insurance is wherever im moving?

my question is what is the insurance provided by the state called for Arizona? Oregon? because medi-cal is just for california right?

thank you!

i took a pregnancy test on jan,17th, 07. it was positive. started my period the next day. it lasted 1 week and was a normal period. told my doctor, she said if my period was late to take another test. but my period wasnt late, infact my period had ended on the 24th. 5 days later i started spotting. my docs only answer to me is to watch it and take some more pregnancy tests! im STILL spotting! ive taken 2 other pregnancy tests they both said negative. the spotting is extremly light but its definitly there. im just confused and im sick of wondering if i am or not. it sucks to wait and think you could be pregnant but not exactly knowing. and its harder to get a false + then a false - i thought that "spotting" happened when your period was supposed to come not 5 days after your period! but the doc just keeps telling me to monitor it and take a pregnancy test. im just so frustrated and confused!!!! ive been spotting for a little over a week now. is this normal? do you think im preggo????

ok.. i just asked if it was ok to wipe down a used crib with rubbing alcohol. Now that I've read all the responses and decided that it would be ok, I went ahead and started doing it. However, while I was wiping down, the fumes were pretty strong. So now, I was wondering if anyone knows if it's ok for me to be doing this? Alright, thanks for the help.

I just found out that my cousin had an affair and got the girl pregnant.
His wife and him are trying to work things out together. The girl has called my cousin and told him he could have full custody if he wanted it , but if he didn't she was going to adopt the baby out. She has already given up two other children. My cousin's wife has decided that she can't handle the baby.

I have been asked if I would consider adopting the baby myself. I live in Alabama and everyone else involved lives in Texas. I am still in the thinking stage with all of this, but wanted to get some opinions. Also, I wanted to see if anyone knew where I would have to start, if I adopt in Alabama or Texas. And anything else I might need to consider.
Thanks

I have a potential child that the mother is claiming it is not mine. I feel it is since we went thru the ovulation testing and the doctor confirmed she was pregnant last May 2006. My attorney is having a court ordered DNA test of she and the baby, as well as myself. Can she committ fraud or falsify documents or are they carefully screened. I can't seem to get a consistent answer.

Here is my situation: I am 25 weeks pregnant and live aprox 4 hours away from my immediate family (parents, aunts/uncles, ect...) and aprox 3 and 1/2 hours from my husband's family. My sister in law and brother live 15 minutes away and around x-mas time she aked if she could throw me a baby shower. What made her offer ohhh so appealing is that we wouldn't have to travel a long distance to have a shower AND wouldn't have to worry about how to get our new baby gifts back home (4 hours away).
So my question is: Not many relatives from either side of the families are willing to travel in March to my shower and that is fine, but I have about 25 work friends that I want @ the shower. How many is too many work friends becasue I don't want it to seem we're being greedy by inviting more people for more gifts when that isn't the truth at all. I just know when we got married we had 3 bridal showers and we had to travel all over the state to attend them. I just didn't want to do that again.

I guess I'm starting my "nesting" stage of my pregnancy. I wanted to know if it was ok to wipe down a used crib, given to us from a friend of a family friend, with rubbing alcohol. My bf's mom suggested that as well as wiping down the mattress with rubbing alcohol, too. Just wanted to know if anyone's ever done that and if it's safe, and how do u know for sure? However, I am planning to buy a new mattress anyway, but is rubbing alcohol safe to use for cleaning my baby's crib?
