Im 18 years old, 19 in a few months and I have a two month old baby girl. In a few weeks I will be moving out of state, away from my mother into my own house. Im terrified of being on my own but I know I have to because of my daughter. I will be going to school part time and working part time to get by. Everything is prettymuch set up and Im there as of 3 wks. Any advise? house advise? baby advise? Please dont lecture me on my mistakes I've obviously heard enough of that already!! Thanx

They have slept with us since they were born. They are now 3 an 1. They are getting too big to sleep with us and we need to have our privacy. I have tried to put them in their own beds but they usually wake up terrified and end up sleeping with us. Any suggestions?

I'm talking about all the things parents enroll their kids in, like dance classes or sports. Many start very young. What is your opinion?

I am a stay at home mom and I dont desire to put the babies in daycare. But if I did put them in daycare would it be wise to go to school or to get a job until they go to school. I like to stay home with them but it will help if I did bring a little something in. We are not struggling at all.

We bring the baby to visit her every week. When she gets her, she says (very rudely, I might add), "okay, you can leave now", and repeats it often. I'm not ready to leave anywhere without my baby and that deeply offends her. She's 3 months old now and this has been going on since she was born! The baby does NOT like it there and cries to the point of exhaustion unless I or the father hold her. She'd be crying because she's hungry, and this woman would not give her back to me! I choose to breastfeed exclusively. She tells me I BETTER put her on the bottle so she can have her all day. She got angry because I didn't call every day to let her speak to the baby. She pushes pacifiers and bottles and puts her to sleep on her stomach even after I ask her not to. I've made it clear that I want to raise her my own way, but she thinks the baby is spoiled and I should let her cry. She blames me when the baby cries with her. How do I get her to stop trying to take over and back off without a war???

My husband stayed home with our 2 yr old daughter yesterday, and he called me at work to tell me that while he was fixing her breakfast she went into my sons desk and found some safety scissors and cut her hair. I came home and she has a mullet. I mean she looks like JOE DIRT! I was very proud of her hair. I had not cut the back ever and she had pretty curls. Now I have to take her to a salon and see what they can do with it, but I am sure it is going to have to be a pixie style. Please tell me my daughter is not the only child who has done this!

Question: is yahoo answers being monitored by the F.B.I?

Details of Violation: (my post) I hope so, some of the posts on here are insane, especially ones regarding kids. This one guy posted about messing with his 6 yr old niece, I posted how sick it was and then reported him... next thing I know, the guy emailed me asking to mess with my niece! I hope they are at least monitering it, seems a lot of sickos come on here, maybe they could at least get the ip addresses and track down some of these freaks!
-----------------------------------------
now, what is wrong with that answer?? or did I just piss off some child molester and he/she reported me.
I mean, I dont care about the points, but i think I had a point. You see some of the awful posts on here and you hope to god that they arent true. but i mean, god this is so effing stupid!

My daughter is 4 and she has been potty trained for 2 years now, but for some reason this past few months, I cannot get her to go poo in the potty she goes in her underpants. Sometimes I can catch her, she does that dance, ya know? Well, its getting aggrevating and I don't know what to do, she urinates in the potty but for some reason #2 she just doesn't want to do anymore? Can you help with some advice.

What is it about this age where we feel the need to put together a house with no sweets? A house where are kids are literally on a diet from day one? Has no one heard the phrase “eat in moderation?” It seems like everyone is going through a phase where we are so obsessed with obesity that we are taking it to the extreme. Yes, I believe kids don’t need to be eating sweets 24/7 or drinking chocolate milk with every meal but people (and I’ve heard children saying it now) “don’t want their kids to get fat?” I just cannot believe all these people--what kind of an image do you think that sets for a child?

For the record, no I don’t give my kids candy every time we go out. No, I’m not overweight and neither are my children. I don’t ever remember watching what they eat--but I do make sure my husband and I eat in moderation and provide them with healthy snacks and food. I guess for me I just don’t stress every time I go to the grocery store just to make sure my kids “don’t get fat.”

Did anyone see this report on the Today show? Many parents start feeding their kids bad foods very early in life that over the years is damaging their young bodies thus leading to diabetes and heart problems. What are the culprits in your fridge? Some of the items listed to avoid are:

Whole milk and 2% milk (loaded with bad fat)
Yogurt with fruit (loaded with sugar)
White bread (no fiber)
Regular applesauce (loaded with sugar)
Drinks like Hi-C, Gatorade, soda (loaded with sugar)

The woman on the show stated that you might as well be eating candy.

My kids are 10 and 12 and are still spanked at times. It has always been with my hand on their clothed bottoms. But now these spankings are barely felt by them and they pretty much laugh at me when I do it. Should I abandoned spanking all together regardless of the infraction? I would like to at least have it as an option. Or should I try using an implement to spank with or maybe spanking on their underpants or bare?
