Parenting - August 2006

I think that my little girl is beautiful and I want to show her off. I would really like to enter her in contests or pagents, but all the ones that I have found online have outragous entry fees. I am not looking to turn her into JonBenet Ramsey or anything like that. I just think she is a doll and want others to see that too. Does anyone know of any contests, photo or otherwise that dont charge an arm and a leg? If you are just going to jump my butt for wanting to enter her in these pagents then please go answer another question.

She is 8 years old. I know there is a thing about swimming due to getting stomach cramps and such. But I wasn't sure about jumping around and flipping on her trampoline.

I have two daughters ages 7 & 6. Their father hasn't lived with us since they were too young to remember. He sees them usually every Wednesday for about 5 hours, sometimes less. They love their dad. The problem we are facing now is that I've met a wonderful man who loves all of us. My daughters really have taken to him and we've spent much time together. Last Wednesday they visited with their dad. I told him about my new interest and how well it is working. (I'd not dated anyone in years) He took it upon himself to talk with our daughters without me. My daughters are now carrying heavy guilt because they think they are hurting their father's feelings. I'm not certain what he said to them and I don't know how to help them understand that they are not doing anything wrong by liking the "new guy". Does anyone have any suggestions of something I can do on my end to help them? Their dad isn't any help. And this relationship is promising for all of us. Thank you for your help.

On myspace I have found tons of my friends younger siblings. A lot have one or more children.

They are 20-23 years old. Most of them are unmarried or not with the baby’s father anymore.

Most of them say they like to party, drink, do drugs, smoke weed and other crap too.

Even if their children were unplanned, why can they suck it up and deal with their decision to keep their child and BE A MOTHER?

It seems like they feel they are missing out, but that’s what happens when you have unprotected sex!

I and married and plan to become a father soon at 27, and I won’t be partying when my wife has our baby.

Its not okay to ditch your kid with someone else so you can go get drunk!

Why does it seem like there are few young mothers who are actually responsible?

Someone please explain this to me because I don’t think you can be a good mother while doing drugs and partying.

Does anyone else share my opinion?

What do you think should happen in this situation:

A man gets his girlfriend pregnant.

She wants an abortion.

He wants to keep the child.

Should he have rights to the unborn baby?

Why or why not?

If the man and woman were married, would it be different?

Why or why not?

my son is 8 and has always wanted to be the only child. So far he has gotten his wish. Somedays I wish he had a brother or sister, but financially it is for the best.

He just recently started doing this. I first noticed when I got him out of his carseat and his shirt was soaked. He layed in my bed watching cartoons and soaked a good part of my comforter. This morning he came into the kitchen and grabbed my dish rag and immediately started sucking on it. He drinks plenty of water(he loves water). He eats well. I just wanted to see if maybe someone else has experienced this same thing or if someone knows what causes it. Please serious answers only.

My husband and I were certain that the name Marissa would be the name we would use if we had a girl.

Then, one day I woke up and the name Olivia was the first thing that popped into my head.

I had this weird feeling that Olivia should be my daughter’s name.

I went to my husband and told him I changed my mind and when he heard the name Olivia he said he knew it was the right name too.

And ever since that has been “our” name for our baby.

How did you pick the name out for your baby?

My husband has had full custody of his daughter for over a year, his ex signed over custody of her own will and said such to the judge. ie: she was not bribed, intimidated or coerced. His ex nows says she WAS intimidated and coerced and changed her mind, says she made a mistake and wants full custody now. We have offered her additional visitation time and tried to work out a compromise but she says she ONLY will take full custody. She says that since we are having a baby of our own she wants her daughter back because she is lonely and miserable. My husband is a great man, and has been a fantastic father, she has nothing but unprovable lies to say about him. SInce there is nothing wrong about the current custody arrangements other than his ex keeps changing his mind, I don't think the judge will or should change anything. We have a great lawyer, but she has a lawyer that seems to not be bothered that she is constantly lying. Anyone have any input?

The problem is that before he had his crib in my room in the other apt. so he was used to sleeping in the same room with me. Now i recently got monitors for him to sleep in his own room but it's hard for me as much as its for him to be in a room by himself. He doesnt like to sleep in the same bed with me just in the same room. How can i get over this?

My daughter and i are trying to get her ready to use the potty, and she loves to use the potty, but it seems liek she will do fantastically one day and horribly the next. when we are at home i let her run around ether barebum or with a thick pair of undies (depending upon the clean supply of undies) and it seems that she jsut doesnt' want to tell me that she wants to go to the potty some days. When she does do this however i get really excited wiht her and we both clap our hands and say "yey" and its jsut a really fun time. she seems to really enjoy it, so now i'm at a stand still how to keep her progressing, instead of making messes on our floors all day. any ideas?

Are they too lazy to ask for and find an elevator? Do they consider what would happen if their child fell out of the stoller while on the escalator? Have they considered what would happen to the people behind them on the escalator if the stroller got seriously stuck and they couldn't get it loose?
