I'm due to have a baby in 3 months and so help me god I will NEVER allow my daughter to have a bratz doll.. My fiance and I call them "slut dolls". One of our neices loves the bratz and she also dresses like one.. at 10 years old I think it's wrong to have your tush hanging out from the bottom of your demin skirt and walking around with a prissy attitude.

Hi, I'm 29 and my husband and I found out I was pregnant about 4 months ago. When we told my family, we thought they'd all be elated and happy for us since we had been trying for about a year.

Well, we came to realize that my family didn't care at all. My mother gave me a hug but she really never wanted to dicuss it again. I have a sister (who's shadow I've always been in) who is a neurosurgeon and just recently became board certified...so my family cannot stop gushing about that, especially since my father is a neurosurgeon as well.

Now, I'm not a doctor, I'm just a 3rd grade teacher, but I'm very happy, and it just hurts that they can't see that. I thought maybe the feeling of excitment would kick in for my parents and other family members but I am 5 months now and no one seems to care.

I don't want to be pushy and have to make them be excited...I want it to come naturally for them, but I don't see that happening.

Hello,

I have twin daughters, one is in her last year of med school to become an anesthesiologist and the other decided not to go to college. The daughter that decided to not go to school is engaged to an investment banker. That got everyone in the family's attention.

My daughter that is in school gets no attention at family gatherings (and we are a big family who has alot of them). I don't understand as I am very proud of her. Everyone is focused on my engaged daughter (and not just because of the wedding). My other daughter feels left out. I don't understand the reasoning behind this as they are both equally friendly and outgoing. My daughter that is in school tries to talk about how excited she is to be in med school and become what she always wanted to be...but no one listens and just brushes her off.

Thank you to anyone who helps...it will be greatly appreciated! :)

My son Landon passed away on Jan. 21 2007. Due to complications after birth he died after he was 21 hours old.
Its now what August? And I'm not even half way okay with him being gone..and tonight seems to be hitting me hard.
My son's father recently broke off our engagement. And only god knows why..It has alot to due with having so much stress on our relationship I guess. I just really need some help getting through this and can't seem to find it anywhere else, and I can't talk in person or I'd go see a counselor because all I will do is cry that's all I do anyways.. I want to talk to other moms, On here. Losing your first child is hard. REALLY hard. Anyways this probably doesn't make sense because I'm crying to much and I can't really see the computer screen but I need help.....

My BF and I were having a chat about childbirth earlier today (we're random people, I know). He told me that his mom told him a few months back that a women should go through natural child birth with her first child, because having an epidural while in labor with the first child can harm the baby. She told him that after a woman has had her first child naturally, it is okay to have epidurals with her future children.

I'm curious to know... is this true?

If I was going to have a kid, I'd check the list of the top baby names of the past year and NOT use them. I've noticed everyone naming their kids Grace, Lilly, etc....there is going to be classrooms full of kids with the same name..like about 5 years ago when there was 10 Hunters...or when i was kid with Jennifers...but on the other hand, there is some bizzare names people are using now.

I have this obsession with names. So, I would like to ask what it is the worst name you have have ever heard or seen?
They can be funny, ridiculous, misspelled, just plain horrible...you get my point.
I came across one tonight while looking at some old genealogy records. A lady's name was "Thankful Over". I guess her mom had a hard birth! :)
Please share some of yours!
Thanks!
