She's a stay at home mom who is an acquaintance. She will be watching my 2 kids, ages 6 and 9 in my home. She will be here from 5:50 am until 3pm. How much should I pay her? I was thinking $50 bucks for the day? Is that reasonable?

I recently had a my 3rd child...& I have all three children in DayCare. I have nothing against DC. I pay more $$$$. But I also work f/t, as well as my hubby. I hear alot of negative stuff towards a working mother that has to work for a living and having to attend a family and household. It amazes me how ppl can be so negative. I should be given credit to be a working mother and much more. I don't have the option of a SAHM, but I love what I do. Am I wrong to feel like ppl are just so ignorant towards a working mother?

I have two girls ages three and one (on August 15th). We are having to move because my husband is going to go back to school. We are going to be living in the married housing on campus (if he does distance education he gets distracted, we tried that). The city we are moving to is about an hour and a half away. My parents live in the same town that we live in now and my kids are used to seeing them at least 3 times a week. They also have always had their own rooms and they will have to share a room when we move. I need some suggestions on preparing my three year old for the move and the new surroundings? Also, what is the best way to have a three year old and a one year old share a room? Who should I put to bed first and how should I work naps and all that stuff?

I know i've asked similar questions already but here i go again. I know no one on here is a professional and can only offer their opinion, but Im welcoming all. Okay here we go.. My b/f came in me on the 14th and 15th. I was supposed to ovulate the following week on either the 19th or 20th. My b/f came in me again on the 20th. I wanna be pregnant and so does he. Last week I was having some lower back pains and cramping pains, which are normal for me to have the week b4 my period. My next period is do Aug 1. I have been feeling tired lately, and a bit queasy after I finish eating, and I have been having frequent bm. My breast dont feel tender but they do look a lil more fuller than usual. I have pressure in my lower abdomen which makes me want to do a pushing motion. So on a scale from 1-10......do you all think im pregnant? OR is my period just about to start? I have an appointment wid planned parenting tomorrow to take a test. I would really like it if expecting mother would answer.

I share custody of my 7 yr old daughter. She lives in Hawaii with her mother, older bro and younger sis while I live in TX. Prior to school I would get my daughter at various times throughout the yr and had her up to 6 months each yr. Since school has started I get her primarily in the summer and any other break I can afford. I also go to HI and visit for 3-4 weeks each yr. Her mother will call me to chastise my daughter when she's done something wrong or when her mom can't get her to do something which I've always done in the belief that her mom & I need a united front. Its come to my attn that her mom now subtley bad-mouths me to my daughter, will not back me up on things that I've told my daughter and discounts anything Ive said. I'm basically presented to my daughter as the "bad guy" while her mom gleefully plays the "good guy". I've noticed that my daughter shys away from me now, something that hurts beyond belief. How do I prevent this from occurring but not spoil her?

Quick history, my stepson has lived with us for 5 years. He's about to turn 13yrs. His mother is disfunctional, no support from her. He has quite the rep here with us in school. Talks back...typical 13 yr old (Not that we allow it). Lets just say, he's had a hard time. Couple weeks ago, we are at his Allstar baseball game. I am standing behind 5 people along the fence on the first base line. His coaches are yelling to him to move back (playing left field). He didn't hear them. Them a women standing in front of me (about 10 feet) starts yelling for him to move back also. After she yells at him, she says to the people around her, "That kid doesn't listen, he doesn't listen in school either." I thought I'd flip my lid! It ended up that this was his reading teacher from 3 years ago. After the game, I introduced myself as his mother. I told her I heard what she said about him. I told her that my son has enough problems. Don't hurt my kid. Should I report her to the school system? Thanks!

My daughter's 1st birthday came and went without any teeth! But today I noticed a whiteish bump under her gums....it hasn't yet broken the surface, but it's sure to pretty soon. She was unusually cranky last night. She won't let me touch or look at the tooth, probably because it's tender. I have stuff for teething. But my question is have you personally known anyone else that didn't get their first tooth till after the 1st birthday?

If your child, like many, got theirs before the birthday, please don't reply....Im looking for people that didn't have teeth yet.
