I can't imagine spending 8 hours a day on my feet in heels. The district people who proposed the dress code obviously haven't spent time in the classroom. Weighing In On...A Husband Who Recruits Female Friends11 Sep 2007 04:41 PM I am way too jealous as well. I would never stand for it. Seriously she should be her husband's best friend. If she isn't there are other issues there. I would ask my husband to go to counseling with me so that I could discuss why I feel his behavior is inappropriate, and trust me the therapist will agree, and how I can better meet my husband's needs. Because Stella is obviously not doing that. I would suggest they go out more often. Leave the 4 year old with a babysitter at least twice a month. I would also suggest they take a vacation together and reconnect. I had a friend that started hanging out with a guy from work outside of work and she fell out of love with her husband and they divorced. The World of Harry Potter30 Jul 2007 07:11 PM I wouldn't recommend the third or fourth movie because your son is young. I won't let my children watch them because they are PG-13. You could probably start reading them to him when he is 7 or 8 though, because kids can listen to a book that is 2-3 years above their reading level and still really enjoy it. What Do You Really Want for Mother's Day?05 May 2007 02:34 PM I still don't think you'll get sleep then. My mother said she often worried more when we went to college because then she really didn't know what we were doing. Let's Talk About Elective Cesareans19 Apr 2007 05:25 PM I had my first child vaginally and my second unfortuantely had to be c-section. My third I was determined would be vaginal because it was so much easier. But after my daughter was 3 days late and 9 hours of labor and still dilated to a 1 my doctor recommended a c-section. Lucky for me I did, because my uterus was so thin at my prior incision site that my doctor said I would have probably only got 3 pushes before it burst. Since my daughter was 8 lbs 8 ozs it would have taken more than that and we would have probably died. Choosing Whether and How to Adopt Transracially--Our Decision06 Mar 2007 12:25 PM A white family that attends our church adopted an African-American boy after having three girls. I love seeing them together. She recently shared a story that I just love. She was explaining to her then eight year old daughter about how the new baby was different (meaning his skin color) than her other children. Her daughter replied, "Of course he's different. He's a boy and we're all girls." It's too bad that the rest of the world can't be as color blind. Dirt Bikes for Kids06 Mar 2007 08:11 AM Since Idaho has received a lot of snow the last part of February and first few days in March it is not likely that the snow will have melted by the end of March. If it has, there are a lot of mountain dirt biking trails around the McCall area. You can find maps on the forest service website. If you come down to Boise there are more areas for riding, in the desert and foothills that probably won't have snow. Breastfeeding Full Term Multiples20 Feb 2007 12:22 PM One of my good friends had triplets. They were all five pounds when they were born. She nursed them but also supplemented with bottles because she didn't have the time or the milk necessary to feed all three. Get Breastfeeding off to a Good Start20 Feb 2007 12:20 PM I don't think there's anything wrong with supplementing with formula especially at first. My sister's baby cried almost constantly the first night he was home because he was starving. Her milk supply hadn't come in yet and even though she was feeding him every two hours he wasn't getting enough. My mom suggested she feed him a bottle in between breast feedings and the crying stopped. Are You a Candidate for VBAC?20 Feb 2007 12:11 PM I really wanted to have a VBAC after second child was born c-section. My son was a vaginal birth so my doctor was okay with it. But after tens hours of labor I was only dialated to a one and my daughter was already four days late. So I ended up with a c-section which probably saved my life. The doctor said that my uterus was really thin and would have probably on lasted a few pushes. Since my daughter was 8 1/2 pounds it would definately have taken more pushes than that. |
