Other - Pregnancy & Parenting - September 2007

I've been a stay at home mom now for just over 2 years. I just had my second little one 5 months ago. I love and want to do the raising of my children, and although I go to college online part-time, I still feel like I'm accomplishing little. I've looked up online/stay-at-home jobs, but all want me to invest money, red flags to me, so I don't. What would be something that would help bring a little extra in, and allow me to raise my children myself at home? I'm not greedy, but I do want to help and feel a little more needed. Understand this is myself, my husband is wonderful, and although he would like me to stay at home he is not forcing me, nor does he complain in any shape or form about being the only one bringing money home.

Ok, I have a 3 and 4 year old girls. Their father has been out of the picture since the 3 year old was a newborn and even before that was not around but here and there. He has recently got out of prison and whats to see them ( he only gets supervised visitation).

The problem is, I have been with someone for a while now, and they have decided a while back to call him Daddy. Since they do not remember their father at all, and don't even know who he is in pictures.

My question is what is the easiest way to explain to them that they have two Daddys. Without confusing them?

My son is 14 months old and I feel torn on when my husband and I should have another. He said he is ready anytime but wants me to be ready before we try. I want my kids to be close in age so they can grow up together. I also want about 4 kids and I dont want to be an older mom. I am 25 now. But, will it be too hard having 2 kids 2-3 years apart? My hubby and I are really happy together and we love our son. What do you think?

Is it normal for young girls to wonder whats its like to be pregnant and have a baby to look after?? I noticed alot of girls who are like as young as 13 and talk about having babies Is it just a natural feeling?? Cuz sometimes I think about it too and then feel guilty for wanting something that Im obviously not ready for. is it just curiousity??

hi im 21 i make about 1500 a month and my fiance is 23 who makes a good check every two weeks plus commision. hes a car saleman. im working on going to school to become a vet tech with my bachelors which is four years. we are working on getting our own place because we live with his sister but the house is under his name, so once his one year contract is over were gonna get our own place. the reason im writing is because i know there is no "perfect" time to have a baby but im looking to have one when im atleast 23 or so. i think 30 or orlder is way too old to have a baby. what im asking is how do you manage to have a baby while going to school and working? do you set a budget and how much does your baby cost you a month? are you happy you made your decision? any tips on how to raise a baby? anything you wanna tell me please feel free to do so.
thanks alot

A 13-year old (Jill) stumbled on her mom's email when she went on the computer. Her parents are have been divorced since Jill was around 6 and has been living with her father. She saw that her mom is apparently pregnant at 42 with a man who is already married with a son. Also, Jill's father's wife just moved in to her house. Jill's not a big talker at school and isn't sure if she should talk to anyone about what is going on in her life without worrying if her friends will tell their parents and cause a huge stir. What should Jill do?

We both have children from previous relationships who are older. I am due in 3 weeks and not one person has gotten us a gift or hinted at us needing anything for the child. I passed on my baby stuff from my first child to family members and I stated that it would be awhile before I had another child so there was no point in keeping theses items because they are now outdated. I was hoping -and I hope it doesn't sound conceited- that they would help me get new items for this baby since that is what I did for their child. Maybe I am overreacting and the hormones are raging--------- but a child is exciting and no one that knows us seems to be since we already have children. We are in financial trouble and the family knows this.

This happened several years ago well 6 when my husband was married to his first wife. He was in the Navy, and our daughter was 9 months old. And his wife was extremly jealous taht he had a child with someone before her and said she would make sure that he wasn't around me or her again. He gets back from tour and his wife supposedly finds out she is pregnant with his child a week later.
Then the child is born 2 months early and weighed 9 pounds. Thats a big premie huh? Not to mention that during in labour, they broke her water.
Has anyone else heard of this, a woman going into labour that early and instead of stopping the labour they break her water and a 2 month early baby weighing nine pounds.
They divorced a few years later and we got married.

Anyway I think my husband got suckered into having to raise a child that isn't his. The worst part is he is stuck paying child support and hardly gets to see the child.

If a paternity test is ordered will it do anygood?

I am a father of four. I have an 8yo boy whose social behaviour used to deteriorate after watching a lot of PG and mild M rated movies. After a suggestion that the behaviour was a result of this, we banned him from anything above a G rating, with PG movies monitored by us first. His reward for not kicking up a fuss about it was that, as all the new-release kids movies became available on DVD, we would buy them for him.
The change in his behaviour has been astounding!

My question is this, how many parents out there use the ratings systems with there kids?
And if you don't, why not?

My daughter has a best friend, and they used to play together all the time. My daughter would go over there most of the time (because they are overprotective). At some point in time, the mother has changed her attitude toward me, and I don't get it. The father is still friendly, but I have felt awkward approaching him about anything--I don't want to alienate her any further by making her jealous. I know she is trying to get into better shape, and I am wondering if there might be jealousy. I have tried everything from asking her flat out what's wrong to practially begging her to let my daughter, who is heartbroken, come over again. When I asked what I did to offend her, she said there wasn't anything. She just says they are too busy, and they never invite my daughter, who is heartbroken over it. When I see her at the school, she completely snubs me, which really hurts. I don't know what I did, and it really embarrasses me. How can I explain this to my daughter?

I've heard numerous ages from as early as 15, to as late as 19-20. Obviously, something like this is hard to estimate, as the nature of the question is open to a lot of lying and exageration.

So, in your opinion, what's the average age?

Thanks

What do you think about calling a grandmother "Grammi" sp? Boy is 6. She claims it is very common in some country? I think it sounds like baby talk. How old is to old to use this term?

Besides a law, why is it morally wrong for a girl of this age to have intercourse with a male if their body is ready and they have a Bat Mitzvah. I mean its a celebration for becoming an adult right?

I know most of the time in their mind, its not developed enough to handle it. But I mean, they can still have it so whats the problem? I mean I believe a child should wait much longer but I mean who thought up this crazy idea? If she is ready, why wait? Sociery makes it seem like its a very bad thing for younger girls to have these types of relations EVEN if its with a boy thats a good person. I think society needs to work on keeping the children happy and safe. This does not fall under tnat catagory. My opinion.
