Of course being a first-time mom I'm nervous about everything and trying to do everything right. I have two questions though, after my baby is born, how do I go about getting him/her a social security number? Is it automatically given or do I have to get it? Also, should I know who my pediatrician is going to be before I go into labor, do they need to be there after the baby is born?

always bologna or pepperoni sandwhiches, bagels, hot dogs, burgers, and grilled cheese, they don't seem to like anything else.

a friend was telling me about his barber and how his barber used a spray bottle to discipline his son.
apparently, if his son did something he wasn't supposed to, like bite him, then he would spray water in his face....
he said it worked....

i've heard of doing this to train dogs....but not people!!!

has anyone else heard of this practice??
i don't think i like the sound of it, but the guy said he felt better about it than spanking his kid....

thanks for your input!

The problem is that acouple years back my husband got busted with a little bag of cocaine(mainly the residue) and had to pay these huge fines and was on probation...will this affect us in any way if one day we plan to adopt...will we be denied because of this??? His probation is over and he has also completed drug counseling the court requested...The drugs werent even his but they were found in his car so ofcourse he was responsible for them..anyway, weve been trying to conceive for about 7 months now and nothing...so adoption is something i might want to do. will we be able to?

If so have you ever spanked one of your kids? Why?
If not, how do you discipline your kids?

When I was younger I use to laugh about the music my parents listened to and the clothes they wore. Now I find myself listening to 60/70's music and wearing some of the styles. I even go to a store that sells vintage clothes from the 60's and 70's.

So I was wondering like when my daughters are older what will they think about music I use to listen to or how I use to dress, and tease my hair. How do I explain Vanilla Ice or Milli Vinilli to them. I have a hard time explaining that one to myself. What will they think or learn about the ways of the world today?

What will music, fashion, and the world be like in 2018?

My daughter wants to spend time with me at the times when she has to do something or at bedtime. I come up with something to do to spend time with her but it is never good enough, or she has other things she wants to do. I don't like forcing her to spend time with me and her dad because then we never have a good time because she is pouting and being grumpy. I don't know what to do. She always tells me "i need you, I haven't seen you all day". You never spend time with me. But when I try to she would rather do something else. I am frustrated but I feel bad when she does that stuff to me. What do I do? Help!!!!!
