For those of you with 2 or more children, at what point did they start sharing a room? From birth? When the younger was sleeping through the night? Once they were both in beds? What problems have you encountered with room-sharers?

I know some people say you should expect to look 3 months pregnant after having the baby, and other people say 6. What was true for you?

Does anyone here have any type of savings account or college fund for their kids? My husband and I would like to start saving for each of our kids - whether they end up using the money for college or travel or whatever - but aren't sure what's the best way to go about doing so since our parents...

This child is accused of shooting his dad... http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,458204,00.html?sPage=fnc/us/crime I'm really confused on why someone would spank their kid for forgetting something. More confused on why any child would receive over 1,000 spankings by age 8 :doh:

For those of you who didn't home birth, at what point during labor did you go to the hospital? How long did you labor at the hospital? Did anyone try to force interventions on you, and at what point? Also, how many people were in the room with you when you had the baby (how many doctors, nurses...

For those who didn't see my thread earlier in WD, I am going to be moving at about 30-32 weeks pregnant - probably to CA - and have to deal with switching doctors mid-pregnancy. I started looking into a doula and found out that she would charge $1200. This would include 2 prenatal visits, phone...

Does your child have a bedtime routine? Do they need to go through the entire routine before they're able to fall asleep?

W00t! Today is our third anniversary! It doesn't seem like long when I see the number, but we have one wonderful son and a second baby on the way :D. I'm just thrilled. We're going to go have lunch at Turtle Bay and go swim to celebrate. :)

What are some funny things your kids have said, or that you've heard other kids say? I think my favorite so far is when my 18 month old was playing with a racecar while we were waiting in line. A little boy ahead of us, who was probably about 4, turned around and said, "your baby has a car...

For ever, the last thing I remembered my midwife saying to me was that I dialated to a 6 before my emergency c-section (my son was in fetal distress). I just got my medical records - and spoke to my mom, who was there for my labor - and both said that I actually dialated to an 8! I am SO...

My DH told me it's best to do strength training 6x/week: two days of legs, two days of chest, and two days of back. I JUST started strength training and am amazed at how much extra energy I already have. Anyone else have the same experience?

I have a question for those of you who homeschool older children when you have youngsters around. My sister is moving in with me and will be arriving in just a few weeks.

Do your teachers bring politics into the classroom? How does it influence their teaching style? Do you feel uneasy stating your own political opinions when your teacher feels very strongly about something? I disagreed with a professor today on a political issue and she FREAKED OUT. I've never...
