I am really losing my patience, health,temper, and mind due to fact that I have a husband who is disabled and needs care 24//7 then I have a two and a half year old son who has tremendous energy, and a 10 month old baby girl, who is delightful 98% of the time and i have a male bull mastif puppy who also has a great amount of energy. I do all the cleaning, cooking washing , fixing, plumbing, car maintnence, all the things that a "husband" would do around the house. I dont have time for anything including a shower nevermind I need to see the dentist and doctor, so does my husband who has many appt. every week. My daughter hasnt even had her shots yet, my son needs to see the dentist, Its just all so hard to do I cant seem to find the time to get things done because i just do not have any. No one helps me ever, and i mean nobody. Where do i start to care for my family? They all need me and I am neglecting one or the other, i feel so bad for my son because he wants to go do things but no

My son's dad gets him every other weekend and 3 full weeks out of the summer. He just came back from the first full week. Anyhow, when he left he was still on an prescription antibiodic from the doctor and his dad refused to give it to him because he is an herbal freek!!! Is he allowed by law to make that decision of not giving it to him? My son is only 8 so he has no say so in anything. just curious!!

Okey I am up to here with my son. He will not stay in his own bed every morning he is in bed with me . He also pees his pants all day. He knows where the bathroom is and how to use it. He also withholds his poos. But that is getting better. The shrink we are taking him to says that we are to remove the overnight pants and when he wets make him clean it up. But if he is still getting in bed with me and the hubby I dont want to be changing my bed as well. I also have a 2 yr old that stays in his bed and I am pregnant again. I asked him and he says that he forgets to use the potty and I think he is doing it for more attention. As for the sleeping he says that he wants to cuddle. I really believe that he is jealous about his brother and the new baby. What can I do? Dr says to get the 2 yr old potty trained but I do not want to rush him into something he might not be ready for.

My 4 yr old has been asking me why mommy and daddy have sex when i ask what that it she tells me that we get naked and daddy gets on mommy. we try being discrete about it like late at night when she is suppose to be sleeping. Could she have seen us and we not know or could she be picking it up from somewhere else. She said that two little boys told her about it but her answer just doesnt rub me the right way. Any advise as to get her to STOP asking or advise as to get her to tell me the Truth

He is four years old and the youngest of 2. His mother and I are divorced. We never fought in front of him. Neither was physically abusive.

He speaks of his friend regularly. His "friend" never hurts my son. My son will just say things like..."John did this, or John does that, or John has X.

He plays well with his older sister, and has a great disposition and has no learning disabilites. He is a happy go lucky kid, with a small anger managment prob,

Most parents teach letters and numbers. Just curious how many of you out there go much beyond that? If you do, do you find it difficult or overwhelming?

Ok, one of my friends lives next store to a se offender. THe sex offender sexaully assulted a 15 year old boy and yet he still has custody of his two todlers, a bboy and a girl. The little boy is older and I met them once and they seem like sweet kids. But when we walked by this sick man's house one time, we herd the little boy sreaming for his dad to stop something and we herd banging. Should we do something about it or midn our own buisness. I don't even think he should have the custody of his kids. Could he be abusing his kids or am I just jumping to conclusions.

My 3 yr old just started using the potty and sometimes wants to "go" when we are at the park or the store. The toilets are too big and smelly. We decided the best thing to do is to bring the potty chair along with us so she can use it at the car. But what should we do with the pee? Is it okay to just dump it in the grass or in the dirt? Or should we bring along a plastic container with a lid to transport it? What if she does #2 in there? What do we do with the poo?

It is time to register my triplets at a school. There is 2 pre-k classes. I think I should ask the school to put them all in the sae class, but my husband says just let the school decide who goes in which class. I don't care what teacher they get, both are great, but I am just worried the two in the same clas will bond more and leave the third one out. What do ya'll think I should do?

My son is 15mo. old and he has just started throwing big temper tantrums. I try to just ignore him as long as he isn't going to hurt himself or doesn't have a legitimate reason for screaming (like he's hungry or tired). I also have a 2mo. old so sometimes he throws a fit if I'm feeding his brother and can't pay total attention tohim. What is the best way to deal with his temper tantrums?

Can you let me know what age your kids starting talking. I looked on parenting.com and it said a 16 month old girl should say 50 words!

My little boy is nearly 3 (32 months) and has always had milk in a bottle, even to this day he gets up during the night and can have as many as 3 bottles during the night also. I know this is no longer necessary and has been unecessary since probably about 6 months old and so in the last few weeks i have switched the milk to sugar free diluted juice. He objected at first but now drinks as much juice. He is fully toilet trained during the day and these numerous bottles he consumes are really impairing any chance of dry nights and sleeping through we've been hoping for. Tonight i am going cold turkey and removing the bottle completely as i've noticed his teeth are suffering from him having fluids at night and this is not at all good. Anyone have any advice as to what i should do/say in the middle of the night when he wakes for his much loved bottle?
