i am a stay at home mom of a 7 month old. i love her to bits put lately she has been getting on my nerves. i am also a full time college student. i go to night school and my boyfriend watches our daughter at night when he gets off work. the problem is that since i go to school at night, i try to get my study on during the day, but my angel wont let me. it's not her fault, she is just being a baby. i call her "eva diva" because she just wants my attention ALL THE TIME! and it's getting harder to study. in the fall i'm thinking of going to day school and putting her in daycare. she will be 13 months old then. i dont have any family members who can keep her on a regular basis. am i being mean for putting her in daycare, even though i'm not working? i just want to do well in school. i'm trying to get in the nursing program.

They said that they were coming, and then my husband and his brother had a small spat (it was mostly his brother), and now they say they are doing something else. How should I respond to this and her e-mail? It does matter. I write down in my daughter's growing up books about all the people who visit her, and etc. I refuse to lie and put them in the book. They are a little bit jealous (it shows) that we have children, even though they just got pregnant. Help!
P.S: It also a celebration of her recovering from Torticollis, a musclar defect!

I have 7 children ranging in age from 24-5 who call me mom.5 are natural and 2 are step-but should be mine because i have cared for them since their mother left 20 yrs. ago.6 of them are 15 and above.1 is 5.the older ones say that she is spoiled.She has her own room,she has lots of movies,dvd's-no video games like x-box.She has a V-Smile.She has a portable dvd player because I travel alot.why does that make her spoiled?they had Atari,Nintendo,Super Nin.,Segas,etc.,movies,their own tv.'s and cd players,bikes, movie theaters and allowance.the 5 yr old just started to get allowance and they are pissed.my 5 yr. old is more willing to help me do anything compared to what they wanted to do,but she is spoiled?Am I wrong?I am grateful to this 5 yr. old,I think she knows more about caring for people than worrying about what her older siblings have.I LOVE all of my children,but my 5 yr. old is more grounded to life and I can't tell my other children that.I can't hurt them like that.their good 2.

s a wonderful opportunity for both the parents and the child. I was home schooled all my life up to now (dual enrollment 11Th grade/college). home schooled kids have a lot fewer problems than most public schooled kids. we make Friends very easily, we get along with most people because we are not raised in "cliques" like most kids. in MOST cases we have BETTER social skills than public schooled kids because we get to be around a lot more types of people. my parents made sure that we got out in the community, went on field trips (home school groups, 4-H, and many other community clubs), spent time in museums, got to talk/know the directors of at least 3 museums (2 of which I still have contact with, great home work helpers), and we were exposed to "real life" every day. while public schooled kids were reading about sea turtles we were touching them and talking to a Marine biologist. while public school kids were studying the civil war we were reenacting it, you get the idea...

I am a managing director of a company, I was talking with my wife about a few staff problems we have been having, when my son told me, 'You need to be a stronger leader, like Stalin"

This got me a bit worried, he wears a lot of plain, drab looking clothing, never wears brand labels, he listens to the strangest music, and has posters of all kinds of 'dictator' looking people, almost like propaganda of some sort, all his friends dress and look the same.

How do I find out if he is a communist or not? Could it be something else?

I really dont know what to do, its so hard to speak to him these days.

Parents, if you got to "request" your child's teacher who would it be: an easy teacher because you want your kid to have a good grade or a hard teacher who preapares them for SATs?

Have you ever complained to your child's teacher for a lower grade than other teachers because they are a hard teacher and you don't like your kids grade because of the teacher.

I hate babies, and kids. I can't stand to be near them. I hate when I go to a store and they are running around or crying or being loud. I hate them at restaurants, I hate them at movies, I hate them pretty much anywhere. Almost all of my friends have them, and they just love their little monsters that scream and crap and throw fits and prevent them from going anywhere and having a life outside of the house. WHY am I unable to be that way? Am I missing a hormone or something? I mean my husband doesn't like kids either, so thats good, we don't have to worry about having any. However I just can't help but wonder WHY I have such a strong aversion to kids. I don't WANT to hate them, I just do.
Please no rude answers, remember I am not making a personal jab at YOUR kids.

last night my daughter was playing with her toys, fell asleep laying on me and the next thing i know she felt real warm and started shaking, foaming at the mouth, wouldnt respond,turning blue, it was so horrible, i have never seen somethign so bad in my life, i felt so helpless, she was rushed by ambulance to the hospital and they ran a whole bunch of tests and they think it was a really bad virus that attacked her body and the seizure was fighting the fever. we followed up with her doctor today, but i still dont feel at ease, i just cant stop the image of her laying there on the ground so helpless out of my head, everything i watch, i see it, when i hold her and she closes her eyes i get so worried. if anyone knows anything about this or can offer me some advice on how to get through this??? thank you so much in advance, this has never happened before, i have never seen anyone have a seizure.

I have a son who is 14 and he never wants to eat. When we have lunch and dinner he never wants to eat any of it as well as drink milk. Today he didn't have school due to a snow day and I said what would you like for lunch and he said nothing. Well I made him drink his milk and then he lied to me about eating lunch. I remind him daily about how good food is and milk is for your body to keep healthy and make your bones strong. But I feel like I'm running out of choices. What should I do?

At my school (I go to a magnet school) when I ask a perfectly REASONABLE question, people always say 'duh' or something. I'm new, but I'm not dumb and I have no idea how my questions are any more stupid than theres! My parents tell me to not be scared to ask questions but it's hard when people make you feel stupid for asking them in the first place!!!!
