Parenting - October 2006

When at my cousins house I have noticed that she still keeps her 6 year old boy in baby diapers and even seen her give him a bottle at bedtime...She keeps his bedroom still like a nursery changing table and all...I want to say something to her but am not sure it is my place?????

My daughter is 10 and already knows 'where babies come from' but soon she will have to know everything(you know when teenagers start having sex and on't even know that they have boyfriends and girlfriends).When my daughter was three she sometimes saw me and my husband having sex and said "Mommy and daddy play hobby-horse" and we all laughted.Now I want to tell her more so she would be ready with information when having a boyfriend.How to begin?

She already keeps her room immaculate and makes her bed. What else can she do around the house? She is always asking to help out.

My Husband is a full time student, he's just a sophomore in college, majoring in economics. We have a young son, and we're trying to figure out how to make ends meet. My husband watches our son and does his homework while I clean houses. We're just not figuring out how to make ends meet... Should we consider applying for a student loan?

Just want to know that i'm not the only one having a tough time at the moment...... Any contributions that make me smile, or feel less hard done by would be great!

It's bad enough now that he can walk he squirms and want to be free right. But now he knows where his pecker is and he pulls on when I change him like he is trying to detatch it, I give him things to play with while I changes his diaper that only works half the time. But he does it to the point where his own father is in pain. I just want to know did anyone have this problem with there boys? I have three brothers I helped out with but don't remember them doing this. And he is my first baby. I just don't him hurting himself it looks painful. (Another thought) No rashes or anything to make him do this.

I have 3 great kids ages 7, 3, and 21 months. I have a question for any one who is a middle child or for parents who have more than 2 kids. Can anyone share their experiences being a middle child or being a parent to your middle child? People always tell me, "oh, she's going to be interesting, cause she's the middle child". Or "she's going to be trouble, that middle child syndrome, you know". I must admit, my middle child is way different than my other 2. She seems as if she acts out way more and gets into things constantly and destroys things. I feel she does this for attention, but I don't feel that I show her any less attention than I show to my other 2 kids. I am a stay at home mom, so she's with me all day. My husband and I both only had 1 sibling, I was the oldest and he was the youngest, so neither of us have experience being in the middle. Is it really that hard to be in the middle? Anything special I should know? Any comments or advice would help. Thanks!

okay here's the story, i love her but she goes out of her way to do things that i don't think is right. first she want's my child to call her mama and call me by my first name. then she started making these plans to just take my child on a vacation, i told her no cause she's really not able to be with my baby for a long time, she really can't hear or see well at all. when i tell her that she can't she tells me that she's going to take him anyway. i want her to be involved but still i don't need her to take over. and then she want's the baby to sleep in her room when i told her no that the baby can stay in the room with us she got mad. when she does this she call's everybody in the family and tells them these lies. it's really starting to put a strain on my relationship with my man cause it's his mom and i don't feel like she has the right to disrespect me. i really do want her to be around however i'm still mom and she needs to just be a grandparent.

Well given my situation I hope someone will have the answer. My family is moving two hours away from everything we know. The problem is, I need to go back to work to afford our new house. My husband works in restaurants, so his hours are never set. How do I get a job with set hours, making at least 14.50 per hour, and guaranteed to be home by 5?
