    Truth about exercise, diet and weight while pregnant

    1) I didn't. I eat pretty healthy already and make sure to take a daily multivitamin with folic acid. 2.) I walk and do aerobics, and light weight lifting, with the advice of my ob/gyn, I continued to do so, as long as my heartrate stayed below 140, and I was comfortable and not stretching my...

    How often do you compliment your kidos??

    I wasnt complimented as a child, so I think I overcompensate in this area, but then again, can you really over compensate here? Anyway, I have 3 kids (one on the way) 2 are NT and one has HFA, and I compliment them all the time, a beautiful picture, a wonderful job picking up, playing nicely...

    Anyone try to get custody of a relative's child?

    :( thats such a difficult situation, my prayers are certainly with you. My cousin had a child that she repeatedly neglected (no bathing, no table food at a year, etc) to the point that the child was severly physically,(crawled at 18 months, walked at 2 1/2) socially, mentally, speech delayed...

    Do you get your kids a new bookbag every year?

    House husband - is that too strange?

    with complete honesty-My husband tends to look at men that don't work with lest respect than those that provide for their families, I guess we are both more traditional and old fashioned in that sense. He knows of one stay at home dad (with all children in school) and he just thinks less of him...

    love sickness

    not obsessed, but he gave me butterflies, and I thought about him a lot. That was over 10 years ago though, and I was just a little girl... and today, he STILL gives me goosebumps *sighs*

    Survey

    I would do it in a heartbeat, extra money in the bank is always a plus, but it would have to be very flexible.

    need to vent

    How old is he? when was he diagnosed? Why isnt he receiving any PT or OT? Call the superintendent of schools in your area, and they have special services for children with any problems. By law, he is entitled to a FAPE (free appropriate public education) in the LRE (least restrictive...

    Question from a teacher

    Start off with the positives, it is NICE to hear that your child is happy, contributes in class, makes friends easily, that sort of thing. Show us examples. Dont just say "she has trouble with Math" copies of the work, and what you are doing to address the problem, along with what the parents...

    problem child

    Im sorry, but you dont sound like you care for this child very much :( She just went through more than any kid should have to in a lifetime. She doesnt feel loved, she's angry (and rightfully so!) she probably has never been worked with or taught things (respect, appropriate behavior, morals...

    I get so frusterated

    Is he home with you all day? For starters, if he gets a lot of sugar, get rid of that. :P He needs to get the energy out somehow. I would act crazy with him, play some silly songs, dance along with him, get him going and say faster faster! Take him to a park or playground (or just outside) and...

The house was spotless and...

    Question about men

    :blush: I have to agree here... You can't help what type of person attracts you, thin, heavy, blonde, brunette, etc. I like blue eyes, my husband (thankfully) has blue eyes, he likes darker eyes/hair/skin (thankfully) I am all of that. When we met I was very fit, active and athletic. After...

    Problems in marriage

    it sounds as though she is having some hormone adjustments due to the hysterectomy. I expect her hormones are fluctuating and she doesnt feel herself. Stop thinking about sex and think about romance. Take her out and expect nothing, draw her a bath with bubbles and wine and roses and let her...

    Most Expensive Meal You Ever Ate

    Children giving parents money

    This is a toughie, my inlaws are big spenders, lots of debt, etc... my FIL ONCE had to ask my husband for $500, but JUST until the following week. He was more than happy to give it to him, but I KNOW my FIL and I KNOW he was embarrassed to have to ask (which is precisely why we never told...
