Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - June 2007

This morning I went to a local coffee shop and when I was walking in I noticed a car with 3 very young children in it. All the windows up with the car not running and I just figured their mother was just running in quick to get coffee but one of her boys got out of the car to go get her and she was sitting in the shop doing piles of paper work with this guy and that made me very upset I wanted to yell at her on the spot but I decided not to and that I was just going to try to report her for leaving her kids in the car in 90 degree weather while she's in there doing work. If she was just getting a quick coffee I would not try to report her, I would have just been a little peeved about it.

So does anyone know How I would go about reporting this woman?
In my state it is Illegal to leave your kids in the car for even a second.

How long do fathers get paternity leave for? How many weeks before birth and how many weeks after birth are they allowed?
I realise it may vary from company to company but what did people you know get?

I started my period during week 3 of my pack. During week 4 (while taking my placebo pills) I didn't have my period, but I had sex. What are the odds that I'm pregnant?

My husband is a self employed electrician and he is very busy. When we do have an hour or two at night to be together we are concentrating on kids or cleaning up. I just had my second baby three weeks ago and we also have a two year old. I want some affection SO BAD. It just seems like it isnt a priority to him. We both are busy but shouldnt he try a little? I have approached the subject but with no results. I guess I want him to show a little interest. Me complaining about it isnt sexy. Did you go through this after you had a baby?

I was thinking they could share a room, even though we have an extra room. Would that be a good idea? And how long do you think they should share rooms?

I have been with a man for years on-and-off. I have forgiven MANY of his wrong doings, one included having a baby by another woman, I am now preg. but I am really questioning whether I want it or not. This isnt my first pregnancy, but this is the first time that I have felt like this. I would love to have a baby by him, but I want to do it the right way, I dont want to end up like his other children's mothers. (he had 2 before I met him). I love him deeply but at times I feel like I would be selling my child and myself short if I had one at this point in my life. (I am younger than him and am currently in college) Please help, no sarcasim! Ive considered waiting until he gets himself together, but to be honest, that might be a long time from now!

I missed the last 2 "active pills" of my birth control and had sex during that time (I have been on birth control for 1.5 yrs continuously). Is there any chance of getting pregnant? I did start my period 3/4 days earlier than usual. I am just afraid to begin a new pack of pills on Sunday If there is a possibility.

If a baby is developing inside the womb (regardless of the mothers' decision to have it or get an abortion) what do u think an unborn child would say if it could talk 2 the mother?

I was just looking at the story of baby Kaleb in Tampa. The whole story makes me sick to my stomach. Does any one know any new info on the story? I looked at the myspace pages or Kaleb, his mother and father and it broke my heart.

Hello everyone. My name is Karen and I am a 26 year old mom to six beautiful girls ages 7, 6,4,2, and twins are 3 months old,and I am from Texas. I have been breastfeeding each child every day many times a day because after talking with my doctor he has suggested to me that it is fine to breastfeed my children until around ten or twelve years old. I found this interesting thus I have continued breastfeeding each of my children at home on my breast, also through pumping, and in public. I have found the health benefits for my daughters and I to be great, and I was wondering how many other people do something similar? Please share your thoughts and I hope to hear from you soon.

I've fed my son in different positions on the clogged side, used a heating pad & massaged the clogged duct & it still will not unclog.

Knowing that fertility treatments cost $$$, and few insurers cover those. Suprised that if it is the insurance companies that they arent the ones putting a cap on this - sooner or later. The NICU cost must be huge! Figure it would also be them who also end up putting the cap on elective c-sections.

Not saying my opinion either way, just wondering how it works.

I am 21 and I am pregnant with my second child, I want to get my tubes tied after this one. The reason I want to do this is because me and my husband want to adopt sometime in the future after our children are older and we are more stable to raise children with special needs. I think it is pointless to continue to overpopulate the world when there are so many children that need parents as it is.
I am just worried about what my doctor is going to say. Even though I feel that it shouldn't be his decision. But he does have the last say.
So what do you think about this?

in a couple of months. I always have to make her take a bath Then i have to fuss at her about rembering to brush her teeth and to ask me to do her hair. I know to do her hair but i'm trying to make her aware of good grooming habits for herself with out me telling her. Is she still too young the reason she pays little or know attention to grooming? is she uncomfortable with perhaps the changes with her body? how do i help her out this rut? She compliment me all the time on my beauty and how good i always smell i let her see me this way hoping it will motivate her but it hasn't. I don't want to make her insecure by ragging on her all the time. But i get upset when i see her watching tv or playing one of game systems and her be a mess face dirty or hasn't brushed her teeth. is it wrong for me to start punishing her since i've been patient with trying to steer her into remebering to groom herself. Give me some tips or advice.

I realize that this isn't a baby question, but you guys are genious when it comes to this stuff, so I thought I'd ask here. We are going to give my brother in law a compass as a wedding gift, and we will have te back inscribed to him and his wife. We want it to say something like "May you always be each others' compasses in life", but we need a clever (but short) way to say it. Any ideas on a good inscription? You don't have to use my idea - you can make up your own if you have a good one!

WONDERING WHAT TATTOO WOULD BE BEST TO GET AS A TRIBUTE TO MY BABY THAT PAST AWAY AT 2 DAYS OLD???

2007-06-11 17:21:29 · 20 answers · asked by shelly c 2

Someone I know, in their 30's, let her son have a sleepover for 11th birthday. Were about 5 boys altogether, watching movies and talking. The mother was in the house with them the whole time. She told them several times to get things quieter but told the boys they could stay up as long as they wanted. Three of the boys tired out and went to sleep at 2AM. Her son and the last boy went to sleep at 5 AM.
Her husband is away at school temporarily. He undemines her parenting skills anyway. He's never had any children and the 11 yr. old is my friend's only child. The other thing, they've only been married about 3 years. The husband told her the child shouldn't be allowed to stay up that late, that she is not a good parent, and she needs parenting classes. He also said before, the boy should be in bed by10 on Fri./Sat.-when there's no school. I've noticed the child is pampered(spoiled). I told her I would not give her a reply but put the question here and show her the results.

My cycles are always a VERY regular 28 days. My period was due yesterday, and I still have no sign of it. There's a very high possibility that I could be pregnant, and I haven't been under unusual stress (even about being pregnant) and I haven't had any unusual changes in diet and excersice. It's too early to have any concerns, right?
