- by Jessica_S11I really am at a loss with this one… My son’s father was totally involved for a while (seeing him a few times a week, checking in on him every day, ect.) then disappeared for almost 2 months. He would answer my calls/texts, and always said “I wanna see him” but wouldn’t follow through. So […]
- by Melissa_ShortOk, touchy subject for me, but i gotta know. I conceived my daughter who is now three months old out of a one week fling. When i was six weeks pregnant i told her father that i was in fact…well pregnant. Now at first, he acted like he wanted to be a part of her […]
- by J_26Hi Mamas, does anyone know of a really good dvd I can get so I exercise with my daughter? I used to walk on a regular basis, but it's been hard to accomplish this with my little one. So I'm thinking that an exercise or yoga dvd that we can enjoy together might do the […]
- by jacqueline_feherI am looking for anyone who may be able to help me. My daughter has had problems going poopy for a long time and her doctors have her on a medicine called "Polethylene Glycol" to try and help make her poopy smaller so that she can pass it out her butt. It doesnt help her. […]

- by vballconnectionHello moms, My son is four years old and has suddenly started peeing overnight and seeming to not even notice it. It has been happening every night for the last week, and even wetting once or twice during the days this week too. Previously he had wet the bed RARELY, usually when an exciting and […]
- by Holly_P1Oh my! Well for starters I am blessed that my oldest daughter (12) feels confident to tell me EVERYTHING! If she does wrong, her guilt gets the best of her and she tells me …. "you're going to be mad at me but…." I always encourage her to be open and honest with me. She […]
- by 3munchkinsHi there, I'm a first-time mom at 35 to a beautiful baby girl who I adore. Yet, there are times when I wish my life wasn't so burdened with the responsibility of caring for her day in and day out, and I feel guilty about that. I waited a long time to find the right […]
- by brookncamsmomMy last day at my main job is this Friday. I quit so that I could focus on finishing school. This has cut my income substantially so I needed to know if anyone has tips on saving money. My main thing is groceries. I currently do price matching at Wal-Mart and will be trying some […]
- by Anna_lee_BHi All, Last week as my son and I were walking to school a car ran the stop sign and missed me and my son by inches. I let out a blood curdeling scream, the driver stopped, she said she never saw us. I caught my breath and held it together till I got my […]
- by Shari_G1My daughter is 26 and I know I don't have any say over what she does but as a mom I can't sit by and just let her make a really big mistake… one that could alter her life in a bad way forever. She thinks she is in love with a guy who she […]

- by raissa333I am curious if the time it takes my 18 month old daughter to fall asleep is normal. It typically takes her 45 minutes to 1 hour to fall asleep for naps and night time. On occassion, she falls asleep quickly (under 10 minutes), however I can not isolate what is different in those instances […]
- by donnas4278My husband, son & I live with my in-laws for financial reasons. We've lived here ever since we got married in 2006 and my son was born in 2007. My problem is that my son always wants to spend more time with the in-laws than rather spend time with me or DH. They are helpful […]

- by amymarye_1Hello fellow Moms. I need your advice on my 9 month olds sleep habits. Since day one, she had slept through the night with no wakings (I know, a miracle). Until she got sick a couple of months ago. That night, I picked her up and moved her to my bed until she felt better. […]
